CORPO COPS CAME FOR MY :filez:
I was waiting for my car ride to work so I was playing Picross S on my TV and when it arrived I took my Switch with me to play more Picross in the car. I will play it more during my lunch hour.

Thank you for reading my Switch story.

Since the 1995 launch year? Only thing I thought they launched in 1995 was the Virtual Boy.

Mario Picross came out that year! Earthbound too. Which is kinda the same vibe as golf story so kinda parallels there

It's so drat obvious in retrospect

Hey, the Sega Nomad was a hybrid. You could plug in a second controller and A/V cables and everything.

Oh, you mean 'thing that people actually bought'. Yeah, it's surprising it took this long.

Huh, I thought you had to use a JP payment method to buy stuff from the Japanese eShop. So thats not the case?

I'm pretty sure PSN requires a JP payment method, so I figured Nintendo would too.

Yeah, it took my credit card with no fuss at all. You can also link a paypal account from anywhere, from what I've tested.

Try resyncing the controller. Earlier I was playing Splatoon 2 and had some really strange issues with my pro controller, resynced, it worked fine. Then I played Golf Story with the pro controller for over an hour with no issues.

The archaeologist has buried it somewhere and forgotten. Get the special wedge from the shop and do his quest.

But if you haven't met him yet, you'll need to beat Lara on the course.

Meanwhile, I am getting skullfucked by this flipper rear end in a top hat's nightmare putting challenge from hell in Bermuda Isles.

Putting: effortless, until suddenly it's impossible.

Yeah, the writing is some of the funniest and most authentic I've seen in a game in ages, and the dialog boxes and font moving and shaking to represent the tone and emotion in a characters speech is a really, really good way of adding character and personality in a pixel-art game. I'm surprised I haven't seen it before. The Mario + Luigi games do it a bit but not on this level.

In don't know how long my playtime in the game will be but if it had been a $40 game from a AAA publisher I would be impressed. The fact that it's $15 and an indie game from unknown devs is completely shocking. Definitely a contender for indie GOTY 2017.

[Edit: I literally laughed out loud when the scientists in the mini golf lodge started talking in speedrunning terms]

:science: :ughh:
I've been playing a lot of other Picross game since the announcement of Picross S (Picross, Picross 3D, and Picross: Twilight Princess). I didn't even realize all of the other Picross games I missed that came out (the sequel to 3D, and the 'E' series). Do these ever go on sale on the eShop? I wish there was a bundle to pick them all up at a discount...

Also, as simple as it was, I sort of wish the Micross from Twilight Princess came back. I'm also surprised they haven't introduced a "colors" Picross variant, since that seems to be a thing in other nonogram puzzles.

Regardless, having fun with Picross S. Pretty much the same ol' Picross. I wish there was more music variety, but again, "same ol' Picross."

Ah, you might need to do another sidequest to get the Lurker Valley shop open. The wedge is in there, at any rate. I think it's the third of the four quests on the right hand map, the one where you need to stick to the deep rough on the approach.

I've paid close attention over the years. In the US I believe the only one of those to ever go on any sort of sale was when you could spend gold coins on My Nintendo for a discount on 3D Round 2 earlier this year.

What I'm saying is with no chance of a sale just BUY BUY BUY

I've been playing docked with the pro for like 20 minutes and I don't notice any input lag? Is it just on your swing or do you notice it when you're exploring?

That's good to hear because my alarm bells went off as soon as I realized that the eShop page includes neither footage nor screenshots of the actual gameplay

Which just reeks of bullshit galore, what the gently caress do they think people are clicking on the page for if not to see what the damned game looks like??
