decided not to do New Game+ so I could see how everything feels with your "default" health/attack power first

I'm tearin' it up on second playthrough currently so they have successfully made a game where your familiarity with the core skillset really translates to more or less every challenge they lay out and I love it

also really helps to know which tools to use where and the weird little ins and outs of certain areas/bosses

I clicked on Wario's twitter to look at the OLED Switch pre-orders

and there was a link to the disc version of the PS5 so I said "let's click this. what's the worst that can happen"

if you do a ng+ theres a ng+ only mode where blocking does chip damage and theh increased damage means blocking basically equals a full ng hit so u have to perfect parry everything it pwns.

I don't think the Switch OLED is available for pre-order yet is it?

Is Slay the Spire decent on phone? Seems like that'd be a really good type of game to be able to play mobile but I don't know how the port is.

:eng101: This actually unlocks for non NG+ saves once you beat the game, so you can play a completely unleveled Sekiro with chip damage on block!

I'm glad I asked, I just kinda assumed there wouldn't even be pre-orders. Gonna try to get one, but I am like 99% positive it'll be impossible. All of the pre-orders will be up on ebay for a 300% markup.

I was about to say I can't remember the last time I undocked my switch but I think I've just subconsciously convinced myself I don't want to play it undocked and forgotten the actual reason, which is that my joycon drift is so bad it's unplayable, but I play it so often I'm not willing to send it to Nintendo for two months or whatever to get fixed

Anti capitalist move would be buy new ones in your current color from Walmart and put your old ones in the box and return them saying they’re broken

buy a repair kit for 20 bucks on amazon or whatever and fix 'em up!

only things that could go weird if you've never popped any teeny quasi-user-serviceable electronics open before are:

-not knowing how to flip the little zero-insert-force connectors open and closed when you're moving ribbon cables around
-stripping the tiny plastic screwbosses or screw heads by screwing the tiny tiny screws in too hard

1280x800 LCD, 64gb internal memory on the base model and one of the worst control layouts on a handheld for $400 feels like a lot of compromises to make this happen for that base price. Also dock sold seperately.

I kind of like that touchpad on the right side of the device for your thumb

looks neat and like something I'll never buy because I already have a laptop and I'd rather have a device I can alt+tab to and fro with

e: wait a sec, you can hook it up to a monitor and use it as a PC. how does this thing not fry itself

Probably because most of that case thickness is heatsink and fan based on what I know of compact PC design.

I keep thinking about buying a gaming-capable laptop but I just can't justify it because the Switch does well enough at portable gaming and I already have a gaming PC that I've put money into

maybe next big PC overhaul I'll look around more



real salient hardware question to me currently is what point in time buying a PS5 becomes attractive- Bloodborne and a few other games got me to buy a PS4 a few years after launch when they got the Slim variant out and the price dropped but I'm not seeing a game like that on the PS5 yet and now even more stuff is getting a simultaneous PC release anyways

my mom had myst and i wasted all my hints on the first puzzle i found and basically gave up forever. i still appreciated that de-make for committing so well. loved seeing them recreating the actual screens all low res style

edit: drat i wonder if im smart enough to beat myst now

edit2: how long is myst? could you do a blind playthrough in a few hours in a race against a friend in an evening?
