Sorry, guy.
Not recalling if it was on the IGN 100 tips list, but today I used a firewand on tall grass next to a cliff and started a fire that caused an updraft. I jumped into it and deployed my glider and shot up like 75 feet and didn't have to climb.

So to fix my network connection I restarted the Switch. I still had to cancel my golf download and then redownloaded it, that finally fixed my problem

Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp.
I've literally cried over whether or not to purchase this golf game today, christ.

Still weighing the pros and cons, I called my dad about it earlier and he doesn't play games. I almost traded in my switch after work just to not have to deal with this.

Here's whether you should buy golf game or not:

A. Do you like golf unironically?
B: do you like golf when it's serious?

If either is true Buy golf.

Just applied the amFilm screen protector. Normally feel like a brain surgeon missing one finger whenever I try to apply a protector to any expensive electronic, but this was super painless, easy, and the screen looks really good. Hopefully some shoe won't drop soon and it turns out that it will cause my switch to melt when docked or something

Same, I even accidentally hosed it up with spontaneously appearing dog hair (should have used the hot shower trick, whoops) and managed to fix it (mostly), with the only casualty being a corner way off on the bezel not adhering where I pried it up. And I've got a spare if I really care enough to try again.

The only slight downside is that it's turned the switch dock from "perfect fit" to "slightly snug", so if you have a dock that's already scratching the screen I'd get that fixed sooner rather than later or it'll probably scratch the screen protector even harder.

With the Switch looking like it's going to do better than the Wii U, I wonder if that means we will get Sega VC again. I really hope adding online play is going to be a standard thing for Switch VC and not just some games.

I have 9 bucks on the JPN eShop from when I bought Disgaea 5, I want to use it!

e: Just went and did it myself. Opening screen is in English and lets you choose between Japanese & English versions in original mode, plus HI SCORE & CARAVAN. Best console, man, this is Region Free EXXTREME

Were there even any Neo Geo shooters that use a tate orientation? I dunno if publishers would ever go for it because you probably shouldn't support the weight of the tablet on a joycon at the bottom.

Edit: Resting your index fingers half way up the Switch gives good support, but I'm sure they wouldn't trust everyone to do that.

As much as tate mode would be cool. I don't think Nintendo would officially support it as I bet they didn't account for people to hold their Switches on a single pivot point that is the Joy-Con rail.

Playtonic really couldn't figure out that Jontron was a racist goofball from his bizarre rants where he yelled "NIGGERS!" on Game Grumps years ago? It was tweeting that pushed things over the edge?

I LOVE Neo Turf Masters but I'll wait for confirmation that it doesn't have horrible input/sound lag like Metal Slug 3.

just downloaded NEO TURF MASTERS, can confirm it allows for rotating and scaling the screen. it's also extremely my poo poo, aesthetically, and even allows simulation of not just scanlines, but rolling CRT lines too.

Online play seems to have issues about 75% of the time I've tried playing. I've had incredibly laggy matches with players close to me and I've had flawless matches with 6 other Japanese players, so I honestly have no clue what causes the issues. If the developers can actually fix the broken online multiplayer, it is absolutely worth that price. If it remains broken forever, it really depends on the number of controllers you have access to and how much you think you'd enjoy a Bomberman campaign with ~50 levels and co-op play. Personally, I think it's pretty good and, when the online works, there isn't currently a better multiplayer game on the Switch. When it doesn't, it's a broken mess and not worth the time you spent looking for a game (usually isn't long, less than a minute).

There was a moron on reddit the other day (who'd have thought?) who tried to make a point about the Switch being a failure since all of its games were "already in the $15 bargain bin." :eng99:

Apparently amazon.com is just bad about deleting scam offers

Hmm okay, I was suspicious of even the $15+shipping on Amazon listings, but it was somewhat believable at least for Bomberman being that low on a secondary market. Didn't know it could be common for other games, too. Weird that they chose bomberman of all things to scam people, lol.

It sounds more believable than something like Zelda though.

:siren: Solution to Switch not connecting to the eShop :siren:

You need to RESTART the Switch.

Steps
1.) On the Home screen HOLD down the power button and a menu will appear
2.) Select Power Options
3.) Select Restart (Or Power Off)
4.) Switch will restart and you'll be able to connect to the eShop again!

Sleep mode will NOT fix this, it has to be a proper restart or power cycle.

I tried manual DNS settings, turning on my old 2.4Ghz wifi, tethering to my phone, etc, etc.
Just needed a restart
