I've deleted Slay the Spire from my Switch. I keep playing that instead of other games. It feels weird.

It was delayed by quite a bit. Probably no release until the end of the year. I am looking forward to it too.

Alternatively you could just keep playing Slay the Spire since you like it so much!

I have been, which is why I haven't even opened other games I've bought. I want to give Rebel Galaxy Outlaw some more time, and to get back to Children of the Zodiarcs and Rainswept. Also I really want to give Brave New World a shot.

2022 is going to be a busy gaming year. I've got The Great Ace Attorney, AI 2, Triangle Strategy, and a number of smaller games.

they literally added tons of poo poo like that to sell game guides. Then they made the guide they sold have half of its info on a webpage.

Went to the nerd store, didn't buy anything because not much of anything there at the moment I'd want to buy. Had more than I expected though and has a lot of space. Also it's pretty rad how the bank vault is right there with the door wide open. It'd be neat if they incorporated that into the design of their shop, could probably do something neat with it and it's all just right there so why not make some use of it.

Very scattered assortment of things though. Like, all in on one bookshelf was a singular sexy anime girl figurine next to a bunch of "used manga" with a notice to ask at the desk for 16+ manga, some transformers toys, long plush toys of cats and bears, some blind boxes of little spinning tops that look like the kind of thing you'd get out of a quarter capsule machine, and plain boxes of bulk magic the gathering cards, and remilia scarlet's hat.

Whole lot of pokemon and magic cards, surprisingly no yugioh cards (yet, I assume they'll end up with those eventually along with every other random anime tcg that's being played), and a bunch of warhammer 40k stuff. A lot. Some D&D stuff and some pathfinder stuff but mostly warhammer 40k. And also something about selling their friend's avatar the last airbender 3D printed models for some avatar board game that was kickstarted last year.

It said on some signs that they do game nights, that'd be cool if it weren't for the whole covid thing. Their rules for using the lounge seemed reasonable enough too, the only one I was worried about was rule 2 because of the same reason tabletop simulator is under fire at the moment. The store's rule 2 was that discussion of things like politics and religion and issues are banned and that you will be asked to leave if you don't agree to the rules and I can easily see someone doing the same poo poo tabletop sim did with someone interpreting that rule as "no mention of identity, don't talk about it because that's political/related to religion/sexual and inappropriate"

e: they did have vid games too but it was hilariously obvious it was basically someone trying to turn a profit on some old stuff. Some random ps2 games like Black, a gba for $80, a few gbc/gba sports games, a ds action replay, AND a dsi action replay

do they at least have some local artists anime or videogame art or products for sale? that's what i look for in judging any local nerd business, are they connecting with the other nerds in their area.

This is a random question that I can't figure out how to phrase on Google to get the answer I'm looking for.

The Xbox One X controller has a USB c port in it, if I load the controller with rechargeable lithium ion double A's will those be charged if I plug the controller into a usb-c charger? I know they make battery packs for the controllers but those packs have a USB port on them as well and I'm not sure why.

it won't, the battery packs connect to a different contact in the battery compartment, if you take the AAs out you can see it between the AA contacts. it can't recharge regular batteries

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I just jumped back into Hades for the first time in maybe a year and folks, it's still super good. I'm on a hell of a run with the fist weapon, maybe I'll finally beat the third biome this time.

Yes. The various things on display seem to all be available for sale, including someone's bad painting of the pogchamp guy that they have as one of the very first things you see when entering.

They also said they're connected with a local guy who has a 3d printer and will print out fanmade avatar the last airbender models to sell for use with some avatar kickstarter game.

And they also sell prepainted miniatures for warhammer 40k and idk if prepainted 40k minis are a thing that games workshop puts out so idk if they're selling prepainted stuff games workshop made or if they're selling prepainted preassembled minis from someone local.

Sorry, comedic talent. Saget had a great standup career and was an awesome comic. Stamos was always a better musician than a comedian and the only thing of note Coulier ever did was sleep with Alanis Morissette.
