I haven't verified this personally but I recall at least one person saying there were adequate settings for colorblind/high-contrast people.

Just downloaded the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo and didn't see a high contrast/colorblind mode.

Does the full game have any sort of option that isn't relying mostly on really similar colors? The yellow/green looks exactly the same to me so I'm really sucking at it.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing an option to change colors, or it may have been an unlock (you can buy various cosmetic things with in-game points.)

If different colored puyos are indeed an unlock, then lol at you (just kidding; the color/appearance-changing unlocks are very cheap, so you could probably get an appropriate one playing a handful of Tetris-only rounds.)

There are a lot of colorblind options in PPT. Some are more immediately available than others.

EDIT: There's an "Alphabet" style for 100 "credits", which you can earn trivially from playing Tetris.

There's a shop in the menu where you can earn alternate skins for the puzzle pieces, among them there's an "alphabet" option for the puyos that turns them into letters, but I don't know exactly how useful it would be for someone with color blindness.

Anybody got that Tetris 99 explanation reddit link handy? https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/aqgmwk/how_to_win_at_tetris_99_battle_royale_mechanics/

This is really fun except for the occasional game where you just get targeted by like six people early and have a screen full of garbage before you know what's happening.

This is correct. You have to use the account that purchased the game. Turning off cloud saves solves any of that stress yep.

Cool! Hope this helps you because so far this is my first time getting it to work. Disclaimer, I’m not a computer guy. Also when I said you didn’t need an iPad specifically I just mean that I needed something that could look at the hotels network info after being able to successfully connect to it. All my mobile stuff is apple so that’s what this post uses. I’m sure you could fine the same info on an android or pc, I just don’t use them so shrug.

My specific problem this time was at a Hilton property. What the switch normally does in a perfect scenario is connect to the network, lag for like 5 minute on connecting to the internet then fail with a message saying “you need to register the device” before the browser comes up and loads the splash screen. This time it was connecting quickly to both like nothing was wrong, but failing every attempt at actually using it no matter how many times I reset the settings and tried again.

After some googling I figured out you can force the browser out when connected to specific apps and networks by playing with the DNS settings, the rest was trial and error.

-Connect a device to the network properly. Go into your network settings and look at the details for the network DNS. On iOS it’s settings, WiFi, the (i) next to the network, configure DNS. This showed a list of around 4 DNS values the network is using.

-Try to connect to the network on the switch and manually configure the network settings. Set DNS to manual and change the primary to one of these values, save and try connecting. The third one made it work as usual and after a couple minutes I got the registration page. After going through the prompts of registering with the hotel it will automatically try to reconnect and sit there (again) until you cancel it, go back into the settings and change the DNS back to automatic. This time you’ll be properly registered and it should work.

This might not solve it for all hotels, it’s still trial and error as I travel and see lovely networks around the country.

Thanks heaps for this - will give it a shot soon.

People keep posting about how much of a nightmare replacing the shells is but they literally never specify what the problem is supposed to be

Most of the aftermarket shell kits come with three big pieces, a front plate, a back plate, and a center piece. Throw that last one away. It's fiddly as hell, you never see it, and it makes the whole thing more fragile

There is. But you gotta unlock it. It's a huge oversight.

I just bought an atomic purple aftermarket housing for my Switch and JoyCons.

How hosed am I if I attempt the swap? My experience consists of replacing my old Pokémon Ruby cartridge battery.

I'm pretty experienced with small electronics but even if I wasn't this was pretty low on the totem pole. Just pull up a tutorial on your tv so you can pause and follow along. I just swapped to a SSD in my Xbox One X and the joycon swap was only slightly worse. The ribbons can be scary but just have a decent pair of tweezers on you and a triwing screwdriver. I didn't find the springs to be that bad.

Finished up the Daemon X demo tonight and it was pretty fun. I luckily scavenged some decent tank-y armor from the third battle, which made the boss a little easier, but it still took a few tries.

One interesting thing was how drastically the lab upgrades change the physical appearance of your Outer. I wonder how much that is going to play into the plot.

I'm not sure if I'll pick it up on day one, but I'm seriously considering it.

It's been a long time but I don't remember Human PLUS being a part of the various Armored Core universes' plotlines, but with the way DxM's Outer can be modified from Human to Robot piece-by-piece I have to imagine there's going to be something interesting going on in the final version with that.

It really is. Or rather it is an amazing game having never played it. I'm assuming it's based on Japanese mythology but how much of it is true to the mythos and how much is just sticking names on things?

I think the total of owning both games will never exceed $60. Buying one game will adjust the cost of the other game. I do not know the cost of each game separately.

I think:

Bayo 1 is $30
Bayo 2 is $50

Buying Bayo 1 makes Bayo 2 $30
Buying Bayo 2 makes Bayo 1 $10

It's a really weird system and they never did it again

So I bought Cpt. Toad because it was on sale. A complete impulse buy, which is not something I'm prone to doing. I feel kinda ambivalent as I've got plenty of things to play as it is, and because it wasn't on the top of my list.

But there's the new DLC. It's multiplayer, and it feels like its puzzleness will fill the hole left by Picross 3D as the very best chill game to play before bed.

Also got a pen to use for the touchscreen. This thing is going to change my life.
