I don't know why you would blame the game if you misinput an action.

Hes blaming the joycon for being analog only. Not the game

"I hope you like waking up at 6 a.m. and having your favorite things destroyed. P.S. Forgive me because I'm cuter than that $50 wire I just ate."
So I managed to exchange my joycon at Walmart for a different one which works infinitely better than the one that came with my system. Unfortunately, the new one also has sync issues. Very frustrating.

Did they just not care about the camera and the antitheft stuff at the entrance? I imagine it'd be easy to keep an eye out for them with the security system at least.

LP, like IT, tends to be one of the first things cut because "you're not making us money, you're just costing us money"

and the employees themselves tend to be constrained to a "ask them if they need help but you can't chase or physically restrain anyone" for a combo of liability and megafucked if you get it wrong, in addition to the whole "minimum wage, treated like poo poo, probably silently cheering shoplifters on and possibly doing their own on the side"

This is not to say "yeah go return your swapped-out broken poo poo" because A. Nintendo's already doing it for free and B. The only person you're loving over is the poor sod who buys the broken poo poo you returned, but yeah

I guess they either didn't know or didn't care. All I saw was two guys pick up one of those big HDTVs they have by the palette and carry it off, never heard any kind of anti-theft alert and later that day I overheard the store manager complaining about two guys running off with a TV.

No I mean like the actual scanners and cameras and stuff. Or does that fall under loss prevention too? Because when you said LP I assume you meant the people themselves.

This doesn't screw over Walmart, this screws over the person who ends up buying already opened joycons because the person working there just puts it back on the shelf. Call Nintendo and get your joycon replaced for free like an adult.

All of that stuff falls back to the loss protection dudes who are paid poorly and mostly don't give a poo poo especially if it's not a super expensive item. My friend did LP for Target and he took his job more seriously than most and didn't care about small poo poo at all.

If your LP guys don't care the cameras and detectors are worthless.

Huh? Stores generally accept returns or exchanges on broken items and treat them differently. They ask you if it's broken so they can toss it in another pile.

I picked up Issac for Switch because I'd never played it before but it seemed like a good game to play in 5 minute spurts. But I'm utterly confused. It's real disheartening when you get some good drops and have a strong character but pick up a new item and lol it sucks and hurts you. I had shot speed and power upgraded, but picked up an item that forced me to charge up to fire, and if I was hit while charging it teleported me to another room. I got to start the same god drat boss fight like 4 times thanks to that, eventually it killed me because each time I was teleported away it had a new life bar.

Right now I have like 60 coins in the donation box. If I quit out of the game and come back later will the box still have those coins? I've been putting the switch to sleep out of fear that exiting the game will clear the box.

If something is broken you have to exchange it for the same item.

Yeah, there's definitely a number of items in the game that, uh...well, not all of them are "horribly bad in all situations" but bad synergies can really mess up your day. Like "an item that turns all your tears into bombs" and "an item that makes your tears boomerang back towards you". Or the one that's "everything in the room including enemies is magnetically attracted to your tears". For some people it's just the risk/reward of roguelikes and they enjoy having horrible scrapped runs because it's part of the game.

Or, you can be a horrible cheater like me and keep a color-sorted cheat sheet up so that you don't gently caress an hour long run in the Dark Room by confusing Rubber Tears with Ipecac or Common Cold with Bob's Brain.

The donation box persists between runs, which is kind of the point of it-- you can bomb it in later runs to get coins back out if you have more bombs than coins, and you can get permanent benefits at various thresholds even if you withdraw past that threshold later. Just never put more than 999 in it. it'll blow up and reset your deposits back to 0, and since it's the switch you can't even yell OH gently caress and alt-f4 in a panicked attempt to undo it

Thanks for the link! I'm resigned to being a disgusting, casual cheater on this one. And the game does work pretty well for short play sessions. I think it's just going to be a matter of taking it all in.
