Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

Anyone got any hints as to what my next move can be here? I feel like I should be able to mark something in the 3-1-1-1-3 row.

Where y'all at anyways? I want to hear about how the YouTube app is objectively harming your switch experience, friends!

(I'm actually just excited to watch dumb youtubes and pull up reviews when it's convenient etc)

Look at the upper left corner, you can rule out some squares up there

I've tried this puzzle multiple times and keep getting stuck at this point. That's not a technique used too often to eliminate squares.

That I understand, but do you take your Switch to work as well and sneak in some game time? Because hell yeah in that case.

At home though I don't get it.

When you have children and a spouse the only guilt free alone time you're "allowed" to have sometimes, the only time when it's ok to demand that everyone leave you alone and give you some peace and privacy, is when you're in the bathroom.

In other news my son and I played his first ever game of Mario Party tonight. I stomped him 6 - 2. There comes a time in every child's life where he must learn the harsh truth about Mario Party.

I think everytime Ive ever been stumped its due to that and invariably I end up redoing the puzzle like 3 times before even trying that technique.

If you look at the upper left corner, its possible to rule out the 8 block filling in the two left most spaces because that would eventually (after filling in column 1 and 2) result in you having to put a 2 in a row that can only contain a 1. Very rarely do you need to eliminate pieces by deriving that the move would invalidate something in another row.

By the way, thank you everyone for the suggestions, I ended up with Stardew Valley since multiplayer is coming soon, but now my Wishlist is pretty filled out. I didn't know Into the Breach was on Switch, I've been meaning to try that out.

I been playing diablo 3 on here.. I played it on pc when it came out and a little after they added adventure mode and took out the RMAH, but I don’t think I got the necromancer. necro rulez. starting in adventure mode instead of the story also rulez. I plan to play through the story eventually but man .. it sucks so much.

Any recommendations for games that have similarly awesome soundtracks? I play Switch while my girlfriend does homework and she digs the games that sound pleasant. I do not play Diablo 3 while she is doing homework. :(

Thanks. I'll have to add that as a last resort to my Picross techniques.

I loved it pretty much from start to finish but I do think it gets better as it goes on. Expanding your moveset and offensive options makes the combat more enjoyable.

The necro build in the challenge rift this week is real cool and works entirely around doing direct damage with bone spears, it could make you change your mind about that.

So how is diablo 3 in portable?

Loved 2, never ever touched 3 and wondering if this thing is worth sixty booones.

I forgot I had a Switch until Diablo 3 came out, and now I'm super happy I have one. Diablo 3 is wonderful and there are aspects of the Switch port I like even more than the PC version. Get it and smash or zap or slice or wallop things and have a loving blast.

If my put my Switch account on my friends system in addition to mine, can they download my games and play online with me?

This is a bit old but, for those wondering:

I have a 'share' profile that I buy games with. This account has my own switch as it's main console, and as such all the other profiles in that switch get access to the game. I use my main profile to play the games bought on my share profile.

My friend has my share profile on her own switch, and can only play my games using that account. I am never using that account except to acess the eshop so there's no conflicts.

Doing this we can both play the same game online, provided both accounts have a subscription.

But as you can tell you can only do this to play your game with one other friend at the same time.

So Diablo 3 has better combat, no more online always on, the real money auction house is gone, and they added something other then story mode. Did they really just scrap everything from the launch

they didn't scrap the TERRIBLE CARTOONY BABY GRAPHICS :qq:


but yeah they did change the game a lot. Not sure I'd call it "scrap" because it's still very much the same game, though.

I use the word scrap bc I very distinctly remember the devs saying the always online was essential to running the game, cuz the dungeons were created on the server. So it sounds like now they actually bothered creating the levels and stuff

Nah that was basically just a bullshit excuse for them to have the rmah. Levels are still generated but clientside because "your computer isn't powerful enough to do it" was an outright lie.

I figured it was more because iirc on the Wii U at least the YouTube app had security holes exploited for piracy and jailbreaking.

I'm sure that's probably at least part of the actual reason. They were fairly tight lipped on the whole thing but would get asked fairly regularly about it, and the "focus on games" thing was the official line from them.

For the record, while this is a valid technique in my experience Nintendo’s picross games will never require it.

In the picture posted you could also have X’ed a square in the fifth row down, the 1 2 1 2 row - the left of the two filled in squares has to have an X on the right. That should let you fill out more of that column and work from there.

Ahh! I didn't notice that. I was thinking the square to the right could have been part of the other 2, but didn't realise that if it was, the square to the right would still be an X.

I have about 2 more regular puzzles left in S1, I've only finished about 1 full page of the Mega Picross puzzles though. I can never finish these games quicker than they make them because I tend to play Picross in short bursts.
