I’ve posted a bunch about getting a PC because I’m tired of waiting for a ps5 of Xbox series X so I got a Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart.

PS5s come available via email offers. Xboxes turn up on microsoft's online store. Series S is available almost all the time now, X, well, haven't seen one available yet. But they did add another out of stock special halo edition for $50 more.

Watch this for xboxes.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

@ boop

some switch tips:

-if you buy physical games, wal-mart has first party games for $10 cheaper than everywhere else. Just something to keep in mind if you wanna grab botw or smash bros or whatever

-if you're going digital, then use the eshop wishlist and scan it once a week- third party sales are constant and you can save a bunch that way. First party stuff barely goes on sale ever so don't hold your breath

-dont use third party docks and try to use just the ac adaptor that came with it. I havent had issues charging off an anker battery or my laptop charger, but Nintendo made their own power standards when doing the switch. I havent heard of it being an issue in the past few years, but at launch there were bricked switches from nyko-brand docks. Just something to be mindful of

if you want a good grip for handheld mode that makes it way more comfortable, I use one of these:

That's awesome. gently caress ebay scalpers. Some people have reported getting multiple offers so keep an eye on your e-mail if you know someone else who wants one. If I get a second offer it's going to a buddy of mine.

I just got a knock off of that from Amazon and it is really nice. I hated how slim the Switch was. The steam deck at least looks somewhat ergonomic.

Also: If you are in the market for Mario Odyssey and a pro controller you can still find versions of the pro controller that comes with a digital code for Mario Odyssey for like $100.

If you're into the chip tunes rabbit hole and haven't investigated it the, dare I say, science of why it sounds like it does was a fascinating evening of investigation. The stuff they did to cope with the hardware and software limits of the day were pretty amazing.

Pro move. I got in trouble for wasting paper so I had to get creative with page limits instead of doing homework, too.

quote:


Hello everyone,

It has come to my attention that streamers on Twitch and Youtube and elsewhere are uncertain about what content they are allowed to monetize when it comes to streaming Stardew Valley.



My thoughts are very simple: You can feel free to play Stardew Valley on your streams and videos and also to monetize those streams and videos. That pretty much sums it up.



I want Stardew Valley to bring people together. I don’t want anyone to be anxious about playing and sharing footage of the game. Use your best judgement and have fun.



Thanks a bunch for playing and supporting Stardew Valley.
