hosed up story, friends. A co-worker got her daughter a Switch for her birthday and we were all having a post work BBQ. She had yet to buy any games so I offered her to try out the good games I have bought for my Switch to see if her daughter liked any. Her little brother was also there so they're playing ARMS and Mario Kart and Sonic Mania and being all cool with the single joycons so I don't think anything of it. It's time to leave so I go grab my switch and it's only the little bro playing. He was playing Zelda. A NEW GAME of Zelda.  Thankfully I caught it in time for me to load my previous save but seriously who the gently caress just goes and start a new game on someone else's console? loving rude.

So if I don't have friends who own the game I can only play with whoever is at my house at the time? Why

Everyone who wants to play along just needs a device with a web browser. So if you want to play with people not at your house, then you start the game, put it on a stream, and tell your friends to watch the stream so they know what room code to put in to join.

You obviously never learnt the hard way by letting someone play Pokemon on your Gameboy.

For example, in JBPP3, there's a game where everyone receives the same instruction on their phone except one person who receives the instruction "try to blend in with everyone else". And the instructions are like "hold up the number of fingers for how many steaks you've eaten this week" or "raise your hand if you played a high school sport" or "point at the person most likely to fall in love with a mermaid". It was funny with old friends in the same room each time when the vegetarian held up 3 fingers, no one raised their hand including the lone jock, and everyone pointed at the guy whose favorite movie is Little Mermaid except his wife.

Bidiots, That bomb game are pretty unplayable on pc with a ten second lag for your stream. Fibbage is like hardmode for everyone but the host. I think you need to be a super subscriber or some poo poo for twitch or your internet to allow less lag. Local play with Switch works perfect but alas its local, BUT PORTABLE!

As the host, can I choose .. game modes (?) that would be more conducive to remote players or streams? That would be great honestly. Have a mode that's optimized for local and a mode that's optimized for remote. I don't always have four other people willing to drop by at a moment's notice :[

I tried the ethernet cable with my laptop it totally works, the adapter doesn't though. Neddy Seagoon posted:Have you tried turning the router off and on first? Well I'm posting this from the laptop while using the adapter now so I'd say this is pretty solid advice.

Yeah, Fakin It pretty much requires all players to be in the same room, but then, Fakin It is kind of a poo poo game.

Has anyone pledged to the GripCase Kickstarter? I've been thinking about it because I do see myself taking out the Switch more and more in the near future. Grip alternatives?

Grip alternatives? quote:Based on our past experience, we anticipate being able to fulfill orders within 6-8 weeks, but we should note that forecasting demand is an inexact science. If order volumes exceed our expectations, it might take slightly longer to fulfill orders. quote:$89,056 pledged of $11,894 goal I don't know about "near" future... Honestly I think it looks interesting but the amount of volume it adds and the explicit "our massive rear end carrying case will probably be the only thing that can handle the grips" means I'm likely going to pass, since that kind of defeats the point of it being portable :vv: Also: 1. It's a single piece of rubber that covers the shoulder buttons, which already sounds pretty  to me2. They claim it's thin enough to stick in the dock with the case on, but given that there was already scratching issues without extra bulk I can't help but think that's going to exacerbate the issue even for people who didn't have issues previously 3. I'd be a little worried about something that adds insulation to the back of a console that already runs a little on the hot side in the dock

I bought a gooseneck mount for bed time lazy gaming. Highly recommended, although it's game dependent. Splatoon with detached joy cons is weird, but that could be because I'm left handed and using my right hand for gyro. Split with Zelda feels a lot better and Mario Xcom is going to be great like this.

I have this same one and this happened to me as well. I noticed the activity lights weren't on, so I thought "I wonder if my PC will even recognize it." So, I plugged it into a PC USB port, and it sorta... reinitialized or something. Then it worked fine on my Switch.

By the way here's My Mate Vince testing basically every loving controller there is on the Switch. A six part series, but long story short most things at least partially work. If you have any old controllers it's mostly a matter of a cheap adapter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHTjEyTjt6o

If you have any old controllers it's mostly a matter of a cheap adapter. Wait, what the gently caress? If you plug in a wired controller into the dock but have the Switch in portable mode the controller will still work? That’s such a bizarre use case that I can’t understand why Nintendo would ever anticipate it, let alone how they made it work... [Edit: this is at roughly 5:20 in the video] [Edit 2: ooooh it’s the adapter that does the signal translation, not the Switch dock. That makes slightly more sense.] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Aug 19, 2017 |

Junkie Disease posted:Bidiots, That bomb game are pretty unplayable on pc with a ten second lag for your stream. Sort of a tangent, but the Mixer streaming platform (owned by Microsoft, formerly called Beam) has a custom protocol called FTL that provides very low latency streams. So streams really have like half a second lag versus twitch's many seconds delay

I was talking with a friend about Sonic and he’s refusing to admit that there are issues with controlling Sonic, even after I linked him to a video where a runner has random bullshit happen to him because of issues with the way Sonic controls. Freaking fanboys.
