I enjoyed Diablo 3 at launch but I also have no nostalgia for Diablo 2 and just played it like a fun single player action RPG on a normal difficulty v:shobon:v

Gonna admit I don't understand the "endgame" stuff at all or the speedrunning or the seasons or the rifts or multiplayer. Still got a lot of hours out of it, though I haven't really played it since (did finish the story on each of the classes though).

Any snes game you post about playing, you must post proof of ownership with a piece of paper with SA and today's date visible on it in the photo.

Yeah if you destroy your copy of Xenoblade 2 it just reverts back to its core crystal. It will resonate again with whoever touches it after a recharge, if they have the ability to resonate.

I think you have to JO with a bud, each with a JoyCon in hand, to recharge the Xenoblade crystal.

Fortunately 90% of game time in Xenoblade is spent JOing to sword tits so it’s not that hard.

That's just a slippery slope away from that philosophy 101 thing about teleportation that just makes a copy of you but destroys the original you!

I'm having JoyCon problems again. I had to send the left one in for repair a few months ago because the control stick was drifting. Now the right one is doing it. Going merrily along in Monster Hunter, bashing a dragon in the face, and all of a sudden the camera decides to swing around in a circle.

It's not consistent. Sometimes it does it if I adjust the camera little bit. Sometimes it starts doing it if I don't touch the control stick at all. Either way it's obnoxious.

I'm contemplating whether it would be a better idea to just buy a new set of JoyCons. The left one cost me $30 to repair. If it's between paying that again and just getting a new set, I think I'd go with the new set...

Try cleaning both sticks. I kept cleaning the left one because I thought that was what was giving me trouble. It was the right one, as it turns out

Price discrimination is good. Those who can afford to pay more do so; those who don't want to pay that much can still play the game.

I still remember Lunar 2 on PS1 was sold as a collector copy only. If you wanted to play it you had to basically buy $20 worth of mandatory weeb poo poo. Though, now that I look on eBay they're worth a lot, I should dig up and sell my copy.

Yes, under certain conditions as provided by section 117 of the Copyright Act. Although the precise term used under section 117 is “archival” copy, not “backup” copy, these terms today are used interchangeably. This privilege extends only to computer programs and not to other types of works. Under section 117, you or someone you authorize may make a copy of an original computer program if the new copy is being made for archival (i.e., backup) purposes only; you are the legal owner of the copy; and any copy made for archival purposes is either destroyed, or transferred with the original copy, once the original copy is sold, given away, or otherwise transferred.

https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-digital.html

Changing medium is fine, you cannot transfer ownership of the copy (you can entrust someone with storing it though). It's actually kind of vague on if you can legally use the copy in the event that the original is destroyed as you are supposed to destroy all copies or transfer them with the original.

This was me, and the full game is giving me the same input lag as the demo did. I'll try updating the firmware on the sn30pro, hopefully it makes a difference.

I really like Mega Man but gently caress that game it's such a rage-inducing piece of poo poo, even on Casual. gently caress it. I am over it. I don't need to feel bad because I can't navigate rear end in a top hat falling blocks and conveyor belts and annoying floating yellow things.

Yes and no and yes.

Yes because if you fall in a loving put you die and guess what shortcake, you’re going way back to a checkpoint also if you die a few times it’s game over start the level. No because it’s not requiring as much actual challenge. Yes because I beat Celeste without much issue but this is frustrating the poo poo out of me to the point of non-enjoyment.

And yeah I use the slow speed. It doesn’t help all that much when it runs out and you’re on a platform and need it to recharge or whatever and here comes a flying yellow drone above you in a way you can’t get to the side of it to shoot.

I know, I suck. I do. But I swear I do fine at most games. This one is giving me fits in places, though...

Have you played other Mega Man games? They really require a certain mindset and “groove” to play them well without frustration.
