It's also pretty lovely to customers with data caps, slow internet, or who lack the ability to get their system online for whatever reason.

e: It also seems like it's a good way to get your game some negative rep because the leakers talk about it. I guess you could see it as a long game of making leakers untrustworthy.

This is a complaint against modern games in general, it’s not something specific to this Pokemon game. It’s weird to get mad about it for this one release as opposed to every other game where this same thing happens.

So I've figured out how to tell if a sale on the mainline Nintendo games is coming (the ones usually on the voucher system).

All I need to do is have bought a pair of vouchers, spent them, and then all the games I got at 75NZD will go down to 60NZD!

Awesome!

My local Target still has a shitton of the Sanrio Animal Crossing cards, even though (last I checked) they're super hard to find online?

PSA for those of you who have recently picked up an SN30 Pro 2:

Even if you don't plan on using the remapping feature, it's worth downloading the app and setting a profile that maps P1/P2 to Turbo and Hold, since there's no other way to access those features on the Switch. Assuming you like turbo buttons, but who doesn't?

Anyways, this game has been a blast at our house. I am tempted to pick up another car with the Black Friday pricing, because my kid will love it and I got adult money to waste on this poo poo. Wonder if they're just trying to clear out inventory and pushed the multiplayer update for suckers like me.

Where's the black friday sale you are talking about for the game? I'd love to pick it up.

4 year old daughter asked me about my Mario shirt and half an hour later she's playing with a handful of amiibo. Mario, bear (banjo), growser, and nest (ness) are making a birthday party together.

This is gonna result in an inevitable broken amiibo but holy crap worth it.

In other news I'm in the undersea palace of okami. Maybe this time I'll actually finish the game!

Now I wanna know what the most fragile Amiibo are. I only have a few, but my guess would be King K. Rool? That cape seems like it could snap off kinda easily.

I 100% 64 and Sunshine and then got bored halfway (quarter of the way?) through Galaxy because it's way too easy. I went back to it and finished it as Mario and it'll be a long time before I even consider wanting to go through it as Luigi

I also fell off my Galaxy replay early, which was a bummer because I loved that game. It's super pretty and the music is great but there was basically no difficulty friction at all, it got incredibly boring fast.

Most of the Fire Emblem amino are pretty flimsy. The only amiibo I ever had break was my Darunia, but it was broken in the package. Thankfully it was a clean break so you can't even see it.

It will be $60 rather than $100 at all retailers I think until 11/27

I picked it up for $75 this summer for my kids birthday and saw that CostCo had it on sale on their website for $50 one day and then never again.

If you have kids and the space to set it up it’s worth it.

Of the four I'm letting her play with, Mario's fireball is pretty delicate I think.

I think Rosalina is pretty fragile. The wand and Luma.

misandry is real
Does anyone have experience changing the fan + thermal paste in their Nintendo Switch? I have an original model and it's getting a little loud and grinding and hot for my taste. I'm trying to gauge if it's something I could tackle myself. The closest thing I've done tinkering-wise is build and maintain my own computer.

Any recommendations for a fan upgrade, the quieter the better, and what kind of thermal paste would work best would be very appreciated as well.

I have screenshot on my Pro+ bound to turbo (same deal need to map it in software, the pro+ does require a computer while the pro 2 uses a phone or computer for the mapping)

I actually really like the phone mapping since I can quickly write a macro if there's a repetitive menu, and with multiple profiles on the controller just leave a mapping with no macros and switch it on the fly.

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I've read claims that the cartridges have some form of digital serial number that serves as a unique identifier for each cartridge. Which makes sense, it's the only way that tracking of gold coin redemption could work.

Smash is canonically a game where you play with dolls and action figures. Like that’s what Master Hand is. The fighting is just a by product of whatever else you do while playing with your toys. I spent a lot of time in 64 and Melee just doing stuff like this.

What's everyone playing this weekend? I'm going to give dicey dungeons a try.

I've also been playing resident evil revelations 2 solo, probably wrap it up this weekend. Interesting game. It's meant to be played coop, with asymmetrical characters. One is the gun person, the other is the utility person. Without going too deep into it I can see potential for some really fun coop moments. It's working fine for me solo too

Between those two I'm playing through metroid fusion. Rather than poke around and explore, I'm going immediately from objective to objective, hoping for a low time

Hopefully I can sink some time into FFX.

Otherwise a bit of Tetris and/or Picross S1 before bed. I'm also jumping into Dicey Dungeons here and there. Just finished Thief Ep 4, I think I can probably wrap them up soon. I'd like to finally try out Humankind.
I also may do a bit of LttP, as it is slowly becoming my talking-on-the-phone game.

My brother-in-law who works at the dev gave me a free key, but since I have a Mac I've had to wait. One of the reasons I never picked up Civ 6 for Switch tbh.

Maybe I'll get my partner to do some Stardew.
