Seriously, shut the fuck up.

I keep doing missions where it'll be like "first half, ground assault" so I'll take an A-10 with A2G missiles, then the second half is all dogfighting so I'm trying to take out SU-30s and poo poo in an A-10. It's dumb and fun.

Mario Odyssey, Zelda, and Dark Souls Remastered. Been playing Mario Odyssey. Some of the goofiest fun poo poo I've done in a game.

I bought a Switch on Friday. It's great, picked up Mario Odyssey, Pokémon Let's Go! Pikachu, and Smash Bros. I'm really enjoying all three, but can't decide which to keep playing. Also, those three games took up almost all of the internal memory so I went to the Best Buy for an SD card. Best they had was 64 gigs for $50, and I checked Amazon and they had a 128 gig for $25 shipped. So, that'll be here Wednesday.

Like $475 total. Had I only got one game it would've been about $375ish.

Best buy deserves to die. If you can wait for something, Amazon is better, if you need it today, pray there's a Fry's near you.

Costco has a Smash Brothers bundle for 360 and I can get SMO on Amazon. Might do this today. I need a stupid pick me up. What's the headphones situation like?

No Fry's around her sadly. One of the dudes at best buy was like "oh we price match" and I was like "cool" but we got a to the register and he checked the Amazon listing and was like "oh, yeah, see, so we only price match if it's being sold by Amazon themselves, not just fulfilled by them" which is dumb as hell.

Edit:^^^ no wireless headphones, but it has a headphone jack. Online chat is a été clusterfuck that I don't plan to touch because it has to go through a phone app.

I picked up a pro controller yesterday but haven't tried it yet.

Be ready to drop $70(pro controller)-$100(official joycons + grip) more for a second controller if you want to play with a friend.

I've obviously googled this while talking, but the headphone situation remains murky. Can I use headphones while playing docked?

(greatest feature of the next gen consoles btw, hooking the headphones through the wireless controller)

So SMO is worth checking out?

I got a Switch for Christmas and I’ve been really happy with the games for it. Rabbits, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Into the Breach, Super Mario Bros.

I bought a 256GB SD card which is most definitely overkill, but I’ve been downloading games rather than buying cartridges for convenience.

I’d not ever considered buying one, but got it as a gift and it’s a really great system.

Just tested it and yes. The 3.5mm jack will take over if they are plugged in while docked.

However the jack is on the console itself and not the controller or the pro. You will need a cable long enough to go from the docking station to you.

I wouldn't say my opinion is in any way biased at all and it's actually very objective and not exaggerated in any way, but Super Mario Odyssey is one of the greatest masterpieces in video game history ever, lines up directly with titles like the orignal Super Mario Bros. in terms of quality and sets a new standard on how platformers should be.

So stop what you're doing and get it right now, this is history.

SMO is great and, while I don’t think a single game is worth the price of a console*, this one isn’t pretty close.

*TLOU2 is worth it and I will be preordering it** and buying a PS4 again with TLOU when the release date for TLOU2 is formally announced.

**unless they do some dumb poo poo and put micro transactions in the game. Even cosmetic ones. If that happens I’ll wait for it to go on sale because gently caress micro transactions.

Exactly this.

Last week I was approx 20 hours in total inside a train and during that time I either was on SA or in SMO.
Last time I had this kind of gaming situation was when I discovered that there are NSFW mods for The Sims as a teenager.
