Someone asked about Overcook being playable after the patch and I want to say yes it is totally playable and getting a lot of use at my house. More now that I got my GF one of those NES30 arcade sticks cause she never put in the decades of time on console controllers. Thing is a bit of a bitch to get connected each time but she can actually play now.

I found a normal gray switch at Target and mailed to my friend who has since been MIA cause too busy playing Splatoon 2. This is the same lady who was all "i work at a game store, I hear about the switch it sounds dumb :smug:". I will let this be a lesson in Don't Listen to Game Nerds for her.

You seem to have touched a nerve with your anecdote.

Yeah, I think people underestimate the value of making game controls super simple for someone who doesn't actually play games as a hobby but will join in on their SO's hobby to have fun together.

I had it all for 30 minutes before the patch hit, but I do remember the game chugging a bit when there's 0 reason for that game to suddenly drop frames when it's a pretty static scene without any effects like crazy JRPG screen filling stuff. After that it's steady. I remember some people were saying it was also dropping inputs.

It's Mario Kart. You hit the gas, jump and waggle.

You're not asked to do some Street Fighter level of muscle memory.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not harshing on someone that has physical reasons for needing these adjustments. I harping on someone who plays Mario Kart using it because they can't be bothered to play the game themselves.

I'm playing through the spooky world 3 of Mario + Rabbids and it gave me such a throwback to playing the Crypt dungeon of Diablo 3. I don't know how it's not on this system yet like everything about it fits the Switch right down to single joycon play even being pretty easily feasible

Yeah I'm generally bad at video games but asking someone to press one button to begin a drift isn't exactly difficult. And this is coming from someone who played it for 2 weeks without drifting once before I figured it out on my own.

This game is aimed at literally everyone from the tiniest babies to my Luddite grandmother to misanthropic gamer goons, why are you so goddamn bothered by the idea of a return of another accessibility option? Hell, disable orange sparks if it's on, who cares, people who learn how to kart are gonna win anyhow. Who cares if someone enables auto-steer and auto-drift and auto-accellerate and wins 50cc races without touching the controller?

I've got a number of friends who only play this game maybe once every few months and drifting is hard to learn if you don't pick up a controller often, turns out.

It's just a video game though who cares if someone's girlfriend liked playing with an option in an older game? You all apparently didn't even know it existed so I dunno why you're so pissed off about it.

Yeah you guys are right. I guess I'm just complaining that someone else is lamenting the loss of a minute feature that you could easily learn yourself.

I'm all for accessibility but you have to learn to help yourself sometimes.

I get what you're saying but the more realistic outcome is your adult girlfriend who doesn't play video games on her own time stops playing video games with you. Which is a terrible fate.
