it's got that real good battery life and it's also one of the most comfortable controllers I've held. it's pricey but as much so as getting another pair of joycons.

Yeah the main reason to get a pro controller is that it's sooooo much more comfortable for longer gaming sessions.

This is nice but the joycons are way too small to be comfortable long. I have OG XBox controller hands.

I have not got surround sound to work correctly on Switch, IIRC it is using some non-standard thing (because Nintendo) so neither my 5.1 system or soundbar managed to play it back correctly.

Edit: strangely my subwoofer is the only channel inactive when playing Splatoon, though it works just fine in the sound test :shrug:

Okay, the Pro Controller is only $60 on Amazon right now and I had $14 in credit, so I caved to peer pressure. Thanks!

https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/social/questions/detail/qid/48745/~/surround-sound/comment/6739 seems to have some interesting tidbits

quote:

Updated solution for Sony receivers (as explained on gamefaqs and Reddit):

Change the hdmi settings in the receiver from "tv and amp" to just "amp"

Viola. 5.1 LPCM from switch perfectly working.
Also got the impression you have to go Switch > Receiver > TV as using the optical out on a TV generally will only get 2Ch if it's not in a DRM format, which this isn't.

Is there a way to boost an item's level in Diablo? I found a Broken Crown in Act 1, and I can't put it down. It gives an extra gem the same color as what's socketed in it whenever a gem drops in the world. I'm awash in shinies but I've outgrown its stats.

Not exactly but I find @Wario64 on Twitter to be great for notifying deals. He doesn’t do just Switch stuff though.

Sadly no, but you'll find other legendary items anyways.

If you're in adventure mode talk to thevl yellow ghost (Zoltan) for a quest to get the horadric cube. It lets you extract Legendary item effects.

Nope, but if you hang onto the crown and go get Kanai's Cube out of the unique zone in Act III in Adventure Mode, you can break down the crown to equip the 'passive' the the armor slot of the cube and run around befitting from the effect.

The physical release of Hollow Knight has been cancelled

quote:

We’re regretfully announcing the cancellation of physical copies of Hollow Knight and our partnership with Skybound Games.

As a team of 3 people still in intensive production of Hollow Knight, taking the game into the retail space (even with the extensive assistance of Skybound) proved more work than we could reasonably manage.

In future we will investigate other ways to deliver physical versions of Hollow Knight, though likely that will be in smaller quantities.

We’d like to thank Skybound for the amazing opportunity they provided, and for their professionalism and enthusiasm the whole way.

WHERE ARE THE BEST NINTENDO SWITCH BLACK FRIDAY DEALS?!

HI, I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT!
It's mostly all $299.99 with a bundled copy of pre-installed Mario Kart. Though Kohls has a deal where it's $329.99 and you get the switch, a carrying case, a headset, and $90 in store or online credit you can use during certain days. Check out the Cheapassgamer spreadsheet for an organized list of consoles and games.,
It's been ages since I've done it, but I think you can set up a deal alert through https://slickdeals.net/ for the keywords "Nintendo Switch" pops up. The best one we've seen this month was a 1-day special for a 20% off coupon on Google express, and that's probably gonna be the best one there is. I personally got a $270 one from Newegg via ebay, where I didn't have to pay shipping or tax.

Best five bucks I've ever spend.

Hmm, I wonder if printing a bunch of copies would have cost them a ton of money up front, even with the assistance of a publisher? I'd imagine they've done pretty well digitally, and going physical is a hard sell for a 15 dollar game. Either you need to charge more for it or be ok with super small margins.

Yeah, I think a lot of the campaign bitching comes from people who played way back in the beginning when it was the only thing to do in the game. It's worth a playthrough once, then you crack open adventure mode and never go back for your next 200 hours of playtime.

I’m loving Diablo’s campaign. I’m in Act V and I love how everyone is like, “Evil is here! All hope is lost,” but my monk just tells them all, repeatedly, that he isn’t afraid of anything, the gods made him for this, expert mode is easy as hell, let’s gently caress poo poo up. Idk how the characterization of other classes are, but the monk is the ultimate badass who seems to find the heavens being at stake almost tedious. I’m eating it up.
