he probably took the joycon apart, and either printed a new face plate and installed a dpad to the pcb or he's really good at cutting a dpad shape out of the existing faceplate idk.

I think the best thing about the food recipes in BotW is that they don't feel weird or arbitrary. The dishes that come from ingredients make sense and I've discovered recipes just by knowing how real dishes are made and that's pretty cool

The entire game is like this and it's really cool. My girlfriend enjoyed watching me play and helping out because everything is logic based and makes sense even if you're not steeped in videogame logic. Even the puzzles are physics based instead of "push this arbitrary block".

gently caress gently caress gently caress

Was sneaking up on some horses, had used some food to be extra sneaky. Got right up to them and as I'm about to jump onto one two of the big chochubu things jump out of the ground and gently caress up the whole plan

Man, I got a really good bow I've never had before out of shrine chest. Of course, I immediately drop it so I can take a picture for the compendium. Too bad it slid off of the platform into lava. :(

And unrelated, but my issues with the Switch not wanting to output a signal when docked unless I unplug and replug the HDMI cable a few times was resolved by swapping in a different HDMI cable. I haven't had an issue in days now. Not sure if it's worth the hassle of bugging Nintendo about a cheapo HDMI cable though.

I had a really awesome sword and then when I was trying to get to the tower surrounded by water and lily pads I got shocked by an enemy and my sword sank to the briny depths. It looked so sad down there :'(... (although I did fish it out again after ascending the tower).

Just reload your autosave. Not like shrines are all that hard once you figure them out.

General Morden posted:

The extra Switch I pre-ordered (ordered on Gamestop, then got one on Amazon with free shipping and extra points on my Amazon credit card, but kept Gamestop as a backup in case there was an issue with Amazon) cost me $333 after tax and shipping to get it day 1. So I sold it locally to a goon for $340. So if their case was similar with tax + shipping, it could be barely any profit ($7 in my case to drive 30 minutes from my house to meet someone, not worth the hour I had to work later that night and not spend with my family or playing Zelda).

But ya, if they purchased it locally, then just sales tax would put it around $315, so $25 profit.

If you are buying off of eBay, then they are losing money after PayPal and eBay fees.

In any way, they aren't making enough profit to benefit the time sink in selling it to put at scalper status. $340 is a fair price considering the current shortage.
