It's a great console, a great time to be alive, and a great time to be a gamer. Agreed and next month brings us Mario XCOM and what will probably be the first great Sonic game in 20 years.

techknight posted:I panicked and bought Qbics Paint off the eShop because I saw the screenshots and thought is was a Picross 3D type game. What even is it? I saw it and thought the same as you, Picross 3D clone. But it looks like you just carve voxel things out of a big cube and then paint them? This is why digital returns need to be a thing. You can't just sell someone something and then say "lol suck poo poo" when it turns out to be really bad.

You gotta hold the home button for a few seconds until the controller buzzes.

I find I need line-of-sight for it to work. If I pick the controller up off of my desk and don't turn toward the dock, it doesn't really work.

Will the switch charge from any old USB power adapter or does it need to be a high power one? I have lots of old iPad chargers I was hoping to use on a trip.

Yeah, you just like.. randomly tap at spots on the screen and hope that you break away the unneeded bricks. When you accidentally tap the model hidden inside your life/score meter drains. Once that's done you have to uncomfortably paint the cubes. Not to your own specs, but in exactly the pattern shown. It's really unfun.

I can wake my switch up from sleep with the pro controller which turns my TV and media player on but there's nothing on the screen from the switch; when I give the switch a minute so it turns off and then press the button again it is on the screen and all working correctly. Still not sure why.

I'm getting a lot better at Splatoon. Maybe weak pubbies this afternoon but I was winning about 2/3 of my matches instead of 1/4, and am getting really comfortable with the Splatling.

They have to be people who are capable of playing better or learning how to do it, or they'll just make you mad and you'll feel like a dick for being mad at them. Like don't play it with non gamers or really little kids.

I almost wanna fly again so I can Switch away. Also I got in a good hour of work out while also playing mario kart. Having real split controllers makes it possible and it made the whole thing way less miserable.

100 watt hours is way WAY more than anything you're going to be hauling around to play on a Switch, that's gaming laptop kind of battery.

There's a Mayflash adapter for switch that lets you use Wii U pro controllers and PS4 controllers - has anyone tried it out?

Still not sure why. In my very limited experience with using the dock (Portable4Life), I'd press Home once and wait for it to vibrate to wake up the system, then press Home once more after that to cause the screen to actually turn on. I was under the impression that the first press just took the systems out of hibernate and established a Bluetooth connection (I don't have one of those fancy turning-on TVs), and pressing it again once connected was to send the Ready To Go signal.

Ordered myself one of these DIY kits to make my dock portable. It basically takes the chip and connectors out of the official dock and places it in a smaller casing.

protip for flying is to have your console in a case, so you can just chuck it into one of the bins with minimal care. you're probably carrying a laptop anyways, so it's not exactly a lot of extra effort.
