I did a survey a long time ago to help with a study, and because of it, I am about to receive a $25 Amazon.com gift card (I assume it's for .com and not .ca, but I haven't received it yet. Person sending is in California, I'm in Canada). I'm curious as to what I could get that's that expensive or cheaper?

EDIT: Oh, wow, Amazon's filtering options are incredible and flexible. Looks like I'm getting a carrying case. Any recommendations?

You're probably asking about a game, but I'm still going to recommend the satisfye grip. Nintendo should just make that an official piece of hardware.

I'm in video game limbo, you guys. I just don't want to play anything, even though I have red dead 2, smash, mhgu, and HZD to get through. How do you all fix this??

I want to want to play more games :sigh:

You 30 yet? It's called getting old. I'm suffering the same thing. I'm sitting at the middle of Epilogue II in RDR2 and simply can't be hosed to finish it. I just bought Alien Isolation on sale and strangely, it has me kinda hooked -- probably because it's a drat walking simulator so far. Amplitude is currently free on PS+ and is awesome, but I am a heavily-biased music game junkie.

Tetris Effect was made for us olds. I greatly enjoy the Picross games (Picross S on Switch) precisely because I'm old. Those are only good for a couple of days, though, or maybe a week if you've never played a Picross game before.

Yeah. It's really, really comfortable. The right grip is especially nice and keeps my hand from cramping. Not as portable as some grips, but it's great if you're playing around the house or can pack it somewhat safely on a trip. Don't know that I'd use it for something like a bus ride though. It also slides on and off rather than snapping/gripping like some other models, so it's really easy to put on and off when you're switching between handheld and docked.

I dont want to poo poo this up with deals, but GameStop is having an actual good Digital Download sale. Mario Kart 8, Octopath, Splatoon 2, Hyrule Warriors for $42 no tax. If you're like me and wanted to pickup all 4 of those games Digitally, now is a good option! Seems a lot of these deals go quickly.

Target matched these prices for physical copies and Walmart has them digitally also.

I almost always have issues buying games digitally from GameStop, this morn I bought Splatoon 2 but never got the code via email and then the order was canceled a few hours later.

I ended up buying one too and it really is pretty great. It's basically just a simple piece of plastic but it works great and is very comfortable to hold. I can play portable smash without ruining my hands now :toot:

my only complaint about it is that it smells really plastic-y but I'm also sensitive to those smells so maybe it's just me, and I'm sure that'll fade

is there a known issue with joycons just randomly losing sync? this happens to me a lot (which is hella annoying during Smash), unless they're hooked to the Switch itself, but it's not like I have it tucked behind a bunch of poo poo or anything--it's out in the open. it's right next to my TV, so would it help if it were a little farther away?

Lately it does this every time I use the switch. It always seems to happen within the first 30 minutes of play. The game randomly pauses and asks me to press the bumpers and then it’s fine from that point on. It’s not a huge deal but I’m glad I’m not alone.

I think first gen joycons had that and the solution was to put a small sponge or anything to keep a wire from touching the antenna. However a dirty joycon can feel like it's desynced because of lowered responsiveness, to which I'd like to once again propose:

Target put Sushi Striker : The Way of Sushido on sale for $27.99. This appears to be a price mistake as only the 3DS version went on sale for $27.99 in the New Year sale that just started.

Replacement joystick for my busted left joycon came in today (electric contact cleaner and compressed air didn't help and it only got worse).

Shell swap is complete.

Lefty is 20 times easier than Righty. I was done in 20 minutes, compared to the hour and 15 minutes it took to get Righty sorted.

I still have to repair the latch on my joycons but I still have the one stripped star-screw on the casing. Second broken joycon too--essentially a broken joycon set since you have to buy em in pairs.

I shoulda just asked Nintendo for a replacement, both times :mad:

It's more of a fitness app. Well, there is a two-player mode, but the gist is the exercise you do daily. The three day demo that I tried left my arms sore from all that boxing, so I guess it does what it says on the box? I didn't try to game the controls, but why would you do that in the first place?

Based on the demo, it's a dancing game that uses rhythmic punching to distract you from constant motion in your legs, which is where all the real work gets done. Otherwise it's got all the WiiFit trappings (calendars, workouts, music, etc).

The demo actually is pretty good and I'm thinking about grabbing it.
