By the time you progress in the game combat becomes a chore unless the enemies you fight have equal or better weapons. Otherwise just a waste of precious resources.

Not if you sneak up, bomb them, and then steal their poo poo bwahahaha

Or climb up the walls around them and smash them from behind before sneaking up on their buddy on the bridge and one shoting him into the water. Then it's a net gain :eng101:

I got those grips in today and played a race tournament in Fast with them. They definitely give better grip and make using the SL and SR easier than no grip at all. pretty equivalent to the straps, however, these are much easier to put on and take off. you kind of just place/snap them in and close the plastic ring on the top there. To take off you flip that ring up and there is a hole in the back to push your finger through to pop out the joycon. simple.

The only issue I had at first was the SL on the left joy con didnt really push in well, so I had to take it out and put it back in a few times for it to line up right. However, once I did that I was able to take it out and put it back in with no issues, so maybe the button was just wedged at a weird angle.

They have buttons so you can still use L/R and ZL/ZR, however, the buttons are pretty much flush so they are just a formality.

They also come with these pads that go on the thumbsticks and raises them up a bit. They are nice to use in the horizontal joycon mode, not sure how I feel about the extra height in normal handheld mode. Definitely a more rubbery grip that I am used to with the joystick grips/pads I put on my PS4, so I like them in that respect. edit: I took the thumb pads off, much better without them in handheld mode, they made the sticks too tall to hold comfortably, will keep them on hand for when I get a second set of joycons in the future and keep those permanently in these joycon grips.

I would recommend them so far. If there was a way to charge them still, then I would enjoy a second set of joycons to leave in them 100% of the time.

Did the steamy bathroom method and applied it with 0 bubbles. I also used rubber/surgical gloves because I don't trust my greasy meat hooks. I think one spec of dust must have been on the underside of the glass screen that I could no see looking it until after it was applied and I took off the plastic covering. It is small and cannot be seen when the Switch's display is on. It may also be an imperfection in the glass, cannot tell. But I am not worried about it since you have to really look carefully with the display off to find it.

Very happy. Now I think I am done with purchases until MK8 comes out.

I have the screen protector from them for my iPhone and ordered the Switch one with confidence. Their poo poo works, however there's a nuance to glass screen protectors you have to be conscious of. You can't peel the corners up if you misplace it or you'll ruin it with bubbles, making sure you place it correctly is important. The hot shower method for dust particles is also highly recommended.

That night in Point Pleasant. Those red eyes Richard Gere would never forget.
HHGregg really hosed me up the wazoo. I got the expected cancellation notice this morning, which seemed to surprise the call center rep I spoke with because she couldn't even find a trace of the order. Worse yet, I had to open a dispute with Paypal because the email cancellation I got mentioned that "my credit card" was not charged. I should sure as gently caress hope so, considering I didn't use a credit card.

What really sucks is that I have $250.00 in Switch accessories and games sitting on my coffee table. Weekend has been ruined!

Yep, at that price just hold off for 13 weeks and buy it outright... its a gaming device not a refrigerator, if you can't buy it outright without worrying about your food/shelter money, then you shouldn't be buying it. You can get your kids a $30 Xbox 360 at most thrift stores these days, or even better, a $20 Gamecube. It'll build their character.

There are people that are functionally illiterate in the work force in America still, you think math education is good too? lol

But yeah that's the main issue, lack of knowledge to plan, also when you live paycheck to paycheck its hard to save or think in such terms. It's why tax return windfall season is a bad thing for the lower income tax brackets, because while it helps consumer capitalism, it's taking money out that could have been paying for kids meals when they needed it several months back after a car broke down. My tax return just ends up in savings or pays outstanding bills lol

Glass screen protectors are literally just slabs of glass. If you have bubbles, lift the thing up and reset it. If you have bubbles after that, you probably have a small piece of lint right in the middle of the bubble.
