Yeah. I've charged the switch off my laptop, but it will drain the battery (slowly) if playing while charging, whereas with the block, the second it's plugged it'll charge no matter what.

Not every USB-C charger will charge a Switch at full speed because its highest speed is at a slightly unusual wattage that a lot of chargers don't bother with, although a lot more of them since the Switch came out do. Best bet is just to use the official one, but if you're gonna use another charger just check to see if it can put out 18W. I've seen a lot of like 30W laptop chargers that can't actually negotiate to the voltage the Switch wants, and end up charging at a lower wattage as a compromise.

You need the power brick if you drain the battery 100% it does NOT charge from a regular USB-C when fully drained. As long as you avoid that you are good. And fully drained is it powers off because of no battery then you let the 5% reserve (or whatever it is) completely drain by letting it sit / starting it up for 3 minutes at a time hoping to get a bit more play time like you are a 5 year old with dead AAs in their gameboy on a roadtrip.

It's very easy to avoid needing.

I've only ever had it happen when I shelve the switch for 6 months and don't leave it docked but like on the side table by my bed. It comes up in the thread every month or so it's very panic inducing since it wont turn on until you fill the reserve so it acts dead for a good 15-20 minutes

Yeah if you're into the thing that it is, a traditional-by-today's-standards roguelike with turn-based combat, town progression between runs, etc., it's a great implementation of that.

I loved the hell out of Dungeons of Dredmor. Is Tangledeep sort of along those lines? Obviously DoD had very jokey writing, and I'm assuming Tangledeep doesn't have that.

Been forever so Dredmor is not fresh on my mind and I'd say it's not the first comparison that would come to mind but, yeah, it's in the genre. Tangledeep has a (very good) 16-bit style of graphics and music and I think the writing also to a certain extent. Good mix of traditional ideas, modern QoL/adjustable difficulty and less traditional twists like a mix-and-match job system in place of rigid classes.

I debated getting Pirate's Curse and skipped it for various reasons (picked it up digital on sale later). It's in a very unique situation though with LRG releasing the steelbook and slip cover much later than the actual game. Honestly, I think if I had bought Pirate's Curse I'd be cashing it in right now.

One of LRG's things is that they never do reprints in part because their collector (speculator) audience would murder them. This is the one instance where if they were going to reprint any Switch title it would've been Pirate's Curse. Hell, they even got XSEED to reprint Half-Genie Hero.

I skipped pirate's curse cause I had it on the 3DS. My Shantae collection will be 4/5 forever now.

Is there a comprehensive list of goon-involved games for Switch? I know of Tangledeep, Baba is You, the Steamworld games, and the Turok ports off the top of my head, but I’m sure there’s others I’ve forgotten or wasn’t aware of.

e: If you’re a goon who’s worked on a game for the Switch, please take this as an offer to self-promote. I and others want to know!

There's a thread that covers a bunch of games in general. A good number are on Switch as well. Actually I don't know what I'm talking about, it's a small handful of the list now that I'm looking.

Yup, the game was in a pretty bad state for a long time, and a few months ago Versus Evil (the company handling the Switch port) finally put out a big patch. Except the patch broke some other different things in the process, including just straight up removing the ranger's beast companion, effectively a huge nerf for the class.

VE was working on a followup patch for a bit, but then just said that it was too hard and they were abandoning it. So now the game is in a broken state, and is still on the store, and won't be getting any more fixes.

I'm not sure how much involvement Obsidian (the original game developers) had with the Switch port, but yeah, stay far the hell away from it.

Yes, the Covert Dock acts like a normal fast charger when it doesn’t detect a TV connected to the HDMI port. So you can continue to play in handheld mode charged.
