This might be a stupid question but I bought a tablet stand with one of those spring loaded clasps on it. It's padded with rubber so that won't damage the rails for the joycons on the system itself right? Anyone use one on the Switch yet?

Thanks for the info. I was worried because that joy-con doesn't have any problem staying attached to the grip, just the system itself. Not a huge deal since I don't have any real reason to hold the switch in a way that causes the joy-con to slide off. You can buy individual joy-cons, but at $65 :canada: I think I'll just try fixing it myself.

Nintendo will likely fix it for free give them a call and tell them what it's doing.

They don't have daily schedules, the only reason they'll move from their usual spot is if you've met the requirements for their next sidequest.

It's still stupid because
1) Their absence is the only sign that they have a sidequest available. If you don't know this (the game does not tell you) then you'll just think that you forgot where to find them, or it's the wrong time of day or something.
2) There's no indication of where they've moved to, so you either have to scour the city to find them or look up a guide
3) There's no purpose to them moving, all it does is waste your time. It's not like they go to some place relevant to the sidequest, they just quietly disappear to some other random place in the city
4) All this is on top of the fact that there's no earthly reason to have to go to a specific place around the city for each character you want to swap into your party in the first place, when this could be done in a fraction of the time using a loving menu

:psyduck:

No, they did have daily schedules. Lin for example would be in one of the hangars from like 7pm-12am every day if she wasn't in your party. Murderess would be somewehre else in the afternoon or whatever.

It was pretty dumb but I'd just rest til a time where they would be where I wanted them so it didn't really matter much

I'm glad I got my Switch in time to play the Splatoon beta, but according to the schedule it looks like I could maybe play for... two hours? I really hope nothing comes up in my real life.

That would have been useful. The armor that upgrades breaks the game. If you save and reload before a guardian fight you get new drops, you can get 2 cores to drop from one!

But I would have happily bought them with my infinite money and gems.


Did you put your strap on backwards? That gives you permanent wiggle. #gooddesign

I put the straps on backwards on both of my joycons and have no wiggle brother

1 (800) 255-3700 is Nintendo's repair/customer service number. Call them and tell them you'd like to submit a faulty Joy-Con under warranty. If they tell you to send in the entire system, make some loud coughing/sneezing noise while hanging up, and keep calling back until someone says yea go ahead and send the Joy-Con in.

You should get a postage paid label emailed to you, put that poo poo in a box and send it off.

I think the reason people accidentally put the wrist straps on wrong the first time is because it's backwards to putting the joycon on the switch

I can only assume i blocked this fact from my memory. Hooray, it's even stupider than I remembered it being!

You also reminded me of the fact that there's a character who everyone calls Murderess, because she's known for murdering her coworkers, and she's allowed to go on being a soldier because... ????

Okay i guess she's only destroying their proxy bodies and their real bodies are in storage, but still you'd think they'd suspend her and give her a psych evaluation or something, jeez

They do a pretty good job in Splatoon grouping by skill level in Ranked Battles, so you shouldn't get crushed by pros, generally.

On that note I'm kinda hoping we don't need to grind in Turf Wars to Level 10 before doing Ranked Battles this time, but probably...

For a test fire it's going to be everyone mashed together so you're going to have to deal with some old pros like me who are going to make you hate life. BUT the beauty of this game is you can just shot the floor away from everyone else and be doing more good than some splat happy jerk like me as far as winning the match.

Ranked requires you to level up a bit and also for a certain number of people to hit the magical level. I remember ranked wasn't unlocked for a bit when the game launched. I know it was unlocked faster than the devs thought it would be though! Unranked should be fine though since there should be tons of new players on the first few days. If you buy a Call of Duty game the first month or so you can find games with people that are just as bad as you until they all go do something else and only the die hard guys are left and kick your rear end with their 10 more years of experience all while your team throws racial slurs at you for being bad.

CoD has such a toxic community. Unlike Splatoon which has an awesome community that just wants to help you be a squid, and a kid!

Also no matter how bad you are, shooting the floor for more points is always helpful. If you are bad you can feel like you are helping by avoiding combat and shooting up alternate lanes.

splatoon is a much more casual shooter designed for people who havnt spent a lot of time on them previously so you should be fine

if you encounter anyone throwing around slurs on an online game, you should report them! on ps4 at least sony doesnt take kindly to it and does take action against them :)

also its not really like that, it has skill based matchmaking so although your first few games may involve some more experienced players, once you have played a few games it matches you to other people at your level to provide a fun and level playing field for everyone :)

I just wish Call of Duty wasn't so violent. Maybe in the credits of the game you could have a scene where you are the protagonist and you visit the wounded soldiers in the hospital and press X to shake their hands so you can see they're alright.

While being relatively the same for a decade is a distinction, "lovely pubbie player base" is pretty much the case for any game with competitive online multiplayer that's been out for more than a month. Playing with goons is usually a pretty good way around it but "competitive spirit" aka "I've been playing this game for longer than you and if you did something incorrect I have no problem telling you to go kill yourself" seems to be more the norm than not if you play with randos.
