I backed this when it looked like it was going to be on the wire and I'm excited for it, but in a "I forward the mail to spam and then get surprised/excited for it when I stumble across references on the internet" kind of way. Same for Cuphead and a couple other games that looked actually-promising.

Its kind of impressive how Nintendo can gently caress up as something as basic voice communication.

Still not quite as bad as pc battlefield previously needing you to launch a website, then load an old plug-in type not supported/deprecated by every browser maker, then add to your friend list, then join party different from your in-game party, then join another party chat to talk to teammates.

For everyone using the THINK OF THE CHILDREN argument for the headphone thing, kindly remember that there is a very extensive and well thought out parental app that could easily have had a voice chat toggle if that were the real motivation. The real reason is nintendo does some brilliant poo poo and some stupid rear end poo poo sometimes. It's usually one of those two options. They never do kind of okay poo poo.

tbh if the price of the kind of thinking that led to the Switch in the first place is "a crap VOIP app setup with more dongles than an iPhone" then that's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept.

Wanted to swap my Disgaea order from physical to digital... Amazon doesn't sell Disgaea 5 digitally for the Switch yet. :saddowns:


I guess I'll wait until it ships on the 19th and play it (does demo progress carry over?) after I poopsock to 70 when the Stormblood expansion hits for FFXIV.

Gimbal lock posted:

It ain't weird, it's knowing why preorders existed in the first place, which only Guy Goodbody seems to get. Digital preorders probably wouldn't have existed if physical preorders hadn't gotten accepted by the consumers first

This is absolutely incorrect. Even without physical pre-orders "pay for the game in advance so that you can play it immediately at the stroke of midnight rather than buy and start downloading it, if our servers aren't on fire (they will be), at the stroke of midnight" would've been a pretty easy sell to consumers. You're severely underestimating just how big a deal convenience is to some people.

Wow, spoilers, rear end in a top hat :rolleyes:.

Seriously though, can't believe it survived that with just a Joycon getting trashed.

When I was playing through FFL2 on my gameboy I had a AA battery pop*(?) while fighting Magnate. The Gameboy kept running despite one of the batteries having busted open while in use.

* best way to describe it, since the battery didn't explode, it just made a loud 'pop' sound, startled me, and ended up with a bunch of powder and residue inside that I cleaned out later.

I also spiked a SNES game, like a football, on to concrete and the game still worked after I duct taped the cartridge back together.

Everything about Cuphead seems to scream style over substance. Unless they make it into something other than a mediocre platformer it's probably just gonna be a footnote for the year.

Ok, for those of you that have the anker powercore+ 20100, what cord are you using to charge the switch? Will a double USB-C cord do it, or do I need to use a USB-A -> USB-C cord? I have the cords that came with it, which don't work, despite others saying that they do with a quick google serch, I have also tried these 2 cords: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C1WMNF4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and http://www.bestbuy.com/site/google-5-9-usb-type-c-to-usb-type-c-device-cable-gray/5666953.p?skuId=5666953. The first of which was on Benson Leung's list. Apparently it's just a crapshoot of which cords will work, is it the same with the battery itself? Will some Anker powercores just work while others won't work with the switch at all?

You've made me paranoid so I pulled mine out to check. Assuming that "The switch recognizes a power source is plugged into it and says it's charging" is a success, then the following all worked:

- The USB C-to-C cord that came with the battery
- The USB C-to-C cord that came with my Macbook
- The USB A-to-C cord that came with the pro controller

Worth noting is that if you're using a C-to-C cord, you need to push the button on the battery before plugging it into the switch, or the battery will start charging itself using the switch instead of vice versa, which may be the issue you're seeing?

Yeah, after reading I tried pushing the button first and doing it with all the cords and still won't work. It shows it charging for like 2 seconds, then the screen turns off and comes back on with a little bit of red in the battery and a lightning bolt to the right of it. I've left it like that for a couple hours before and it didn't charge at all.

I just did a quick test and it charged 2% while actively playing a game on it, so I think your battery might just be hosed in terms out outputting less than it should or something. Or, if the screen is turning off when the switch isn't completely dead battery wise, you might have a short or something, in which case the battery might actually be damaging anything you plug into it :ohdear:
