I'm getting on a 10 hour fight tomorrow, and folks, I'm extremely relieved to be an owner of a Switch by Nintendo that I have loaded with a digital library chock full of amazing content. It's a great console, a great time to be alive, and a great time to be a gamer.

I just had 14 hours of flights last weekend and I didn't bring it because it has like 3 hours battery life :v:

Mainly because I don't have a screen protector and case for it though and was worried about my new switch

Now this is a really cool game. Guests at a hotel are getting murdered by the employees. You play the ghost of a priest trying to save them. You do this by first observing the murder and then traveling back in time and change the crime scene so the employees get foiled.
One of the more original games released on PC this year.

Don't make the same mistake as me. :(
Yeah when I first saw it, I thought it was a Picross 3D clone, but then it seemed like it wasn't at all. It sounds like it is actually a puzzle game, though? Just not a very good one?

It's decent, actually, if it's what I'm thinking of. There were a couple on 3ds. Not as hard as picross but decently satisfying to do.

Edit: no this isn't the one I'm thinking of

Dude built himself up into a frenzy of denial regarding the NX, claiming everyone else had it wrong, and that Nintendo was going back to making powerful top tier hardware, and not anything with the Wii/Wii U's gimmicks. He was pretty smug about this, up to the point where he was dividing Nintendo fans into two groups: those who were fans since the 80s (ie the real fans), and those new fans who only know Nintendo from the Wii onward.

Then Nintendo revealed the Switch. You can see the despair set in during his livestream.

Well he's not wrong. Given its form factor and being feasible for battery life the Switch is top teir hardware. Anything more for its size and battery life would plummet and they'd have to be using X2 motherboards which would place it either in the realm of more expensive than the PS3 when new or Nintendo would be losing near 500 bucks a sale on each Switch which they can't do

why the heck are so many people so excited about mayonnaise

it's making the plaza very uncomfortable!

As far as french fry toppings go, it's very much a mood thing for me. Ketchup is like the everyday easy answer for like if you're at a restaurant or something.

At home, I throw cajun seasoning and either malt vinegar or lemon juice on those bad boys, and then make like a little cup of garlic mayo for dipping.

To be honest, although I have leanings towards Mayo, I'm more likely to side with the Mustard resistance movement.

The range of support is pretty impressive. Accepts pretty much everything, connects to PC/PS3/Switch (but not PS4 or XBone).

Like, should we be applying ALL mayo blends? Because most ketchup blends are super good, but I don't know if they count.

It should be default mayo vs default ketchup.

Buddy is driving us back home from a weekend in cancun and this car line is going to take 3 hours to cross the border. The switch and zelda is making the time fly. Online matches of Rocket League in the hotel room are going to be epic sauce.

With my past handhelds, they were used sparingly. And when I did bust them out for road trips and vacations, I forgot the controls, forgot the story, and my skills had faded.
