Yeah, they didn't show off the Morph or Spider Ball powerups, so there's no ball to put into any holes. Just a terrible golf game.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

If a golf game doesn't have you driving carts off the course to get between holes, barreling the wrong way down a bike lane or on the sidewalk yelling at pedestrians to get out of your way, it's not a proper golf simulation.

Why yes, I DO live next to a course, how could you tell?

that happened here too it was fantastic. I think each state should get to keep one golf course of the public’s choosing and the rest of them become just normal parks.

Mine was the opposite, not only was it closed to the public but the normally-open college campus by me locked down to to try and keep their disease-ridden students contained. SAome nice creek paths there, only opened back up a week ago.

I had to order a replacement for my 8bitdo. I had one of the ones that looks like a SNES controller, without the grips. Had it for at least a few years. I got a SN30Pro+, with the grips.

The old SNES controller one just stopped responding the other day. It was just dead. Tried plugging it in to multiple USB ports, a USB wall adapter, multiple cables, etc. No response at all. I mostly just kept it plugged into USB with my computer, because my computer doesn't do Bluetooth and needs the wire connected.

Will I somehow gently caress up the new one if I keep it plugged in all the time? I'm wary cuz these things aren't cheap and I don't know exactly what went wrong with the old one.

As someone else said, that might kill the battery, causing a safety trip.

Not super hard to repair if you know what you're doing but annoying anyway. Keep it unplugged when not in use.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
People compared it to tennis aces. I didn't like tennis aces because the career forced all the dumb mini games instead of just being a tournament like the originals. Does Mario golf do that? I don't mind new modes and checking them out, but I'd like to just play a Mario golf career without having to golf past giant boos or golf on a pirate ship.

The golf game is good. The music sucks (like real golf) but the golf game is good

How I gather shots work, since it seems to be a big issue:

Press "A" to begin your shot, sending the power indicator up the bar.
Press "A" a second time where you want the carry power peak to land (or AA for a topspin, B for a backspin, or BB for a super backspin.) This locks in the power of the shot.
The power indicator will travel up the bar again; press any button with the best timing you can for a Nice Shot. This determines accuracy, or how much the RNG "wiggle" shines on you.

Depending on terrain and conditions, the top-most portion of the bar will spread out, called the "risk zone".
However, the entire bar has a bit of width to it by default.
Your shots will always "wiggle" a little bit within the default width, as evidenced by a small arrow that shows up after the shot, someplace on your peak power line.
If you manage a Nice Shot, the wiggle is almost always insignificant.
If you do not manage a Nice Shot and just so happen to experience a strong effect by the RNG, a little exclamation point will pop up on the indicator.
If you take a shot well into the risk zone, AND mess up your accuracy (the final button press of the shot,) you could wiggle way off course.

Finally, the power bar eventually divides up into sections, which increase as you level up. Each section can be curved independently with the left stick, which is fast and weird and difficult, because you must input the desired curves while the power indicator travels up the bar. I can't remember if this was in the 3DS game or not, but it's tricky so far.
