100YrsofAttitude posted:Nope I'm just a short dude. I wouldn't expect the four inches or so that make average height, 5'7 or something right?, would make people's hands immediately unwieldy. If 5'7 is average, that means that half of all people are taller than that so it's probably not just 4 inches. Fwiw I'm 5'7 and feel much shorter than average compared to your average white dude but right in the middle amongst Hispanics so I bet that average accounts for ethnicities that are shorter across the board Then there's the topic of is there a correlation between hand size and height? Probably but I have no idea Man my switch thread posts keep getting weirder and weirder KingSlime fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Dec 19, 2020 |

5' 7" is the global average. In the US average male height is 5' 9".

I aced most of my spelling/vocab tests all through grade school. I attribute most of my success to playing JRPGs and PC RPGs. FF6, 7, 8, Chrono trigger, Diablo 1/2, Fallouts, and many more games I'm probably forgetting all gave me context with which to instantly remember definitions. Video games made me smart regardless of how poorly they told their stories.

For sure, for me video games helped me understand that my family kept making poor financial/strategic decisions. I always tell my brothers okay turn this scenario into a video game, what steps would you take to protect your character and/or his assets. They then proceed to call me a dumb sci fi nerd, steal my 3ds stylus and snap it in half, punch me in the stomach, and do the absolute worst possible thing as they sink themselves and their loved ones further into debt actually this might not have anything to do with video games and my family is just stupid. But yeah video games definitely create all sorts of neural connections and expose you to different ways of thinking/reacting. Only downside is gaming seems to turn a lot of people into little nazi bastards but that is less the games themselves and more the communities KingSlime fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Dec 19, 2020 |

Immortals Phoenix Rising is down to $40 at Walmart plus apparently 5% bonus points back for some chase credit cards? I dunno I'm not interested in the game but some people need a novel BOTW-alike fix.

Tenik posted:The issue is the mushiness of the dpad makes it easy for people to accidently press diagonals. I don't have any issue with it either, because I return my thumb to the center of the dpad before I change my direction with a precise press on the edge, but my friend who rolls his thumb around on the pad has a ton of issues with it. He has also has some issues with his wrist/thumb because he is constantly pushing down on the pad. I easily get diagonals when I’m holding an orthogonal directly. Happens all the time in picross, causing mario to slap my hand and penalize my time

 Sent a left joycon to Nintendo's Syracuse repair facility on the 9th. It was repaired and this afternoon delivered to my house. Pretty impressive turn around for pandemic + mail system fuckery + holidays.

bull3964 posted:5' 7" is the global average. In the US average male height is 5' 9". Good thing the Switch was released globally and not exclusively in the US then. But really, if the console's not comfortable for you whatever size you may be I'm glad that alternatives exist to enjoy this delightful system. I just wrapped Wandersong. Just a touch too much dialogue at times, but otherwise excellent. I really liked the platform puzzles they were rather well implemented.

Ragequit posted:Weren’t FF6 and FF7 each translated to English by one person? I know Ted Woolsey did FF6 but I think a single Square Enix employee did FF7. I can forgive a lot of faults because that is an insane amount of work for one person. Tim alleges something like that for FF7. It's in one of the first couple videos, around when Cloud meets Sephiroth in the Cave of the Ancients. Apparently one person had under a month to translate the entire script to meet the US release date.

Just beat Super Mario Sunshine. Jesus Christ, what were the reviewers smoking when reviewing this game? The controls and game design is just straight up broken at times. It makes "Spring Mario" from Galaxy play like a dream. I don't like to "score" games but if I had to give Sunshine a score it would 5 out of 10 tops.

Isn't Monster Train or whatever coming out? It's the Deck-building game atm. Maybe the Steamworld Deckbuilder? I don't care for the genre but Steamworld is quality. If you just need a feel-good comfort game the messages in A Short Hike, Wandersong, and Celeste are all rather uplifting. If you just want to zone out and chill Picross or Voxelgrams.
