This reminds me, has there been any word about that fantasy Advance Wars - like indie game that was shown before the Switch came out? I can't even remember the name! It looked pretty dope.
It's called Wargroove and no firm release date has been announced for it yet.

Red-green colorblind people are having trouble reading Puyos. There is a function in the game that lets you change the Puyos to letters instead of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Beans, but this function is not available in the demo. If you are red-green colorblind, you can rest assured that the game will still be playable for you.

My favorite part of that convo is the r-g colorblind guy going "wow that image is a lot easier to parse for some reason" not realizing there are no red puyos

I have made about three people aware they are R-G colorblind in my lifetime. It's my curse to bear.

But at least I can see the difference between red and green.

Lastly I got a microSDXC 128 GB, which is probably overkill, but when I heard that the native 32 GB card was taken up half by Zelda I figured that 64 wouldn't be enough. It seems the system needs an update for the SDXC to work though, I imagine it's something that happens pretty much immediately?

You have to go to the Home menu then select System Settings > System, then select System Update on the right pane.

Out of the box, for me, the update didn't occur automatically, but you can set it to auto-update.

The current Switch system is v.2.2.0.

Has the thread decided on a favorite AC adapter, or is the answer 'just get Nintendo's'?

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


I hate that red-green colorblind is grouped as one thing as there are two different types there. There are those who have trouble seeing green and there are those who have trouble seeing red. The former is the most common by far. I'm in the later, red, category (those who have trouble seeing blue are a third and exceedingly rare category.)

I see green fine, red is desaturated for me. That means I usually can't tell the difference between green and brown or blue and purple. Not being able to differentiate between blue and purple is the thing that pops up the most often.

Yeah, that's a thing that can happen too. No one has the same sensitivity in their rods and cones when it comes to the three colors and color blindness is a sliding scale when your sensitivity falls out of the "normal" zone.

I will say this, red is not a vibrant color for me. I grew to wondering why red was associated with things like danger and fast cars. Stop signs were a particularly confusing point. Why make such an important sign so dull and drab? Why not make it yellow?

Most games just have a lovely filter that fucks with colors for colorblind mode without actually doing anything useful. Glad this one has shapes instead.

I don't know if the hive mind made up their mind but I use the two port iClever Boostcube 4.8A travel charger. I have both an Anker USB-C cable and the one that came with my Pro Controller, no difference there. That cube can keep it at 100% while playing Zelda.

Used it on 7 hour flight, no problem. I probably use this charger as much as the dock.

I keep seeing that to run the Switch with the Dock, you need 15V @ 2.6A in order to power the USB ports, the video output, run the Switch at max res, etc. but only 5V @1.5A to charge the unit by itself; since the BoostCube provides 5V @ 2.4A (per port) that's probably plenty for charging the Switch on the go.

The Apple USB-C 29W Adapter, which is what I'm using at the moment, provides 5.2V @ 2.4A, and is working well with both an Anker 3 ft. USB-C charging cable and a MacAlly 3 ft. USB-C charging cable.

I dunno, it seems to me like the Apple adapters are loving overkill (especially at $49 a shot with no cable) but they're built like tanks and they're foldable, barely even get warm during charging the Switch, and are a lot smaller/lighter than Nintendo's power brick.

You can choose to either use the built-in duckhead or just jam a figure 8 to AC cord into it if you need more length / have limited space on the outlet strip/wall socket/whatever.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is on the eShop. The voice acting is so bad it's good. It's painfully obvious that they've got a single VA for every female-sounding character and it's hilarious listening to her have a schizophrenic conversation with herself.

Yeah if you already have that adapter you should be good. I like the two port Boostcube for travel and at home. I don't know if I am using my iPad or iPhone chargers any more. These review well and are cheap. They also fold up and are about the same size as the iPad charger.

Maybe they're goons who can't live with the knowledge that they're losing that tiny bit of latency with a wireless connection? Who want the fastest possible connection when downloading humongous packages from the eShop?

I've had the system since launch and had it up to date, and it still asked to do a system update when I put my SD card in recently. I remember it did it for people with SD cards at launch but assumed it was part of the day 1 update. Wonder if it does a separate update for it or if it was just an initialization step.

As for power I just use a multi charger brick I've been using for a while now.

The Switch's WiFi is much better than the Wii U's, but I already own a Wii LAN adapter so I might as well use it for better latency.

Plus I can dream about Splatoon 2 LAN tourneys and 12-system Mario Kart championships.
