Oh, it's fine just open it play for like half an hour. I'm sure a quick break is what you really need from all that studying. What's the worst that could happen, eh?

Probably going to get buried in Kart chat, but: Kamiko's dece for a $5 game. Cute, got some puzzle bits, whoever said "Hyper Light Zelda" was pretty accurate with the former's aesthetic and the latter's 2D top-down control/combat setup. Short, but not bad.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

For those of you that might have been hoping that Nintendo's big live Switch conference might bring more live presentations, Nintendo is once again skipping E3. I'm sure the Direct they do will have some good stuff though, but I do miss presentations. They just never did them after the big Wii U one.

I gotta remember to pick that up when I get the chance. It seemed simple but the movement looked nice and the combo system was neat.

I can see why since E3 live presentations are super embarrassing 80 percent of the time. I'm sure the Scorpio reveal with more than make up for it with unintentional comedy.

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
Dang, I didn't expect to luck into picking up one of the Switches they had on Amazon today. I GUESS I'll start buying games. I'm pretty on the fence about Mario Kart since I didn't get my money's worth out of the Wii U version, but I guess this time I'll be at an office with a bunch of people who have Switches of their own. I guess I have a week or so to decide.

The other must-haves are Puyo, Snipperclips, and Zelda, right? Plus, what accessories do I need to look into getting? I like the look of the ADVcer case and I already have a screen protector, but are there charging gadgets or anything I want to have ready to go?

You change languages in Switch games that support multiple (which is most of the ones that have been released internationally, PPT being the only exception as far as I can tell) by changing the Switch's system language in preferences. No one has language options in-game.

Well, I'll be damned and stand humbly corrected.
I could've been playing Zelda in English this whole time rather than the original JP.
I just now discovered 1-2 Switch is also multi-language at the system's language preferences level.

Fast RMX Racing wasn't (obviously other languages have to coded in), so that threw me.

Same, it looks arguably better than the 3ds xl why the gently caress am I going to drop 150 bucks on a dying console, library be damned, especially when I already got this here switch that does the same goddamn thing and was twice the price.

Honestly if the new 2ds xl was 100 bucks I'd consider it more but 150 bucks for a console with no game bundled in is not worth it, espeically with very few new big games coming out as its near the end of its life cycle with the Switch looking to consume both Nintendo's handheld and console market.

Also Snipperclips sucks by yourself but with someone else, of ANY level of video game ability, is super fun as you try to gently caress each other over or get tasks done. It's a good cooperative experience and there's a reason its the #1 eshop selling game, besides the fact it's like the only switch digital exclusive until Kamiko.

If you haven't already played Shovel Knight, it's a must buy imo.

For portable charging, you'll want something that can output from a USB C port to gain a charge while playing. Anything from an old A port will just slow your battery drain. I got a decent RAVPower one off Amazon for about 40 bucks that works great.

Edit: This guy on reddit has tested some power banks and wall warts, like not just using them but also using equipment to measure exact voltage or whatever. He's got some recommendations that are a bit pricey, like I said I went for a weaker RAVPower and am doing just fine. You can check his spreadsheet to see how well different price points function.

For cables be sure to get the ones that are vetted by that Google guy Benson. All the cables the reddit guy recommends fit that category.

eitherway you should try drinking IPAs because you probably will enjoy it more than weirdos who pretend they enjoy them since you won't taste the hops as bad
