I'm an hour or so in the Pearl remake. Just beat Roark. Haven't played through Pearl/Platinum since those came out. I'm digging this remake. The art direction/graphics are really nice, it looks closer to Let's Go. It looks far better than Sword/Shield which look like a big mess. The squat chibi designs and classic look also just feels right. I'm not very fond of TMs being single use items again, I dunno why these remakes gotta be two steps forward one step back in some respects.

If it helps any, I believe every single TM in the game can be repurchased in one way or another

Technically Sword/Shield was the first one to make TMs single use again. Sure, it was only like half of them...but obviously it was most of the good ones. It's still dumb.

My wife has been playing it and enjoying it, she was watching some YouTuber reviews (because she hates herself apparently) and a lot of them were complaining about the chibi overworld aesthetic, which both of us thought was weird because we are both digging it and kind of wish the combat models looked like that too? If anything it's jarring when it switches between the two.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Youkai is a word that translations of Japanese stuff have had trouble with; Inuyasha infamously used 'Demon', while 'Fey' might be closer but the connotations for that are probably a bit kiddie. Unless you're into the kind of fairy tales that love pointing out how mythical creatures can so very often be both whimsical and brutally deadly. Think like, brownies, selkies, kelpies and red caps. Technically, Excalibur wasn't the sword in the stone.  Yes, it's weird that King Arthur had multiple magical swords associated with him, no it doesn't make much sense.

The two sword thing was probably created to explain why some stories had him pull it from the stone and some involved the Lady of the Lake.

 King Arthor got his sword from Merlins magi-tech round table. This is canon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25U7m1GpKfw&t=999s

If anyone is thinking of upgrading an early model switch to an OLED, check your serial to see if it's hackable and unpatched. Low-serial unpatched + unbanned tablets typically ebay for $270-350 and would cover a significant chunk of the upgrade (assuming you wait to get an OLED at msrp).

Is this relevant even if you’ve kept the Switch software up to date? I have an early Switch but no real interest in hacking it myself.

It's still relevant, the exploit in early Switches is in the bootloader that runs before the Switch OS even starts, and there's no way for Nintendo to patch the bootloader

I haven't done it myself, but listings almost never include current firmware and it sounds like firmware doesn't matter so long as the switch is an "unpatched" model. I'm in the same boat - not really interested in hacking my switch but side-eyeing the OLED.

Never paid attention to consoles this generation but now I have a bit of money and need somethign to do on a couch. Is there any important differences in the various versions of the switch if you're exclusively going to use it in tablet mode? I don't know anything help me

What happens to the Switch Lite when the joysticks start to go bad? Can you replace them just like the regular switch?

Agent355 posted:Never paid attention to consoles this generation but now I have a bit of money and need somethign to do on a couch. The Switch Lite can't connect to a tv and I think you can't remove the joy cons. If you want a Switch ASAP and it is the only one, go for it. If you can wait or see another model, go for another model because the joycons can have a drift issue and you don't want to have to send in your whole console to get half a controller fixed. OLED is the best model overall.

You can in theory pair new joycons to the switch Lite just like any switch, you would just have some vestigial broken joysticks on the side forever.

Okay, so I have an Animal Cross Switch and a launch model Switch (checked the number and it is hackable.) The first is mine and the second is my wife's. If I buy an OLED, give her the AC one and sell the Launch model, how much of a pain in the rear end would that be? Also, I assume you can hard wipe a Switch for selling, yes?

Cool. I don't mind waiting for an OLED (as they're out of stock everywhere) since I'm not in any hurry to get one anyway. Do we know anything about when more shipments come in though? I assume it's just randomly as they're made available so I should just keep the page open and F5 everyday or w/e?

I'm playing through Dark Souls Remastered for the first time, after hearing it's the Dark Souls of Dark Souls. So far the "difficulty" is atrocious, not because it's genuinely difficult like say Ninja Gaiden, but because it's janky as hell. I mean, loving ghosts that can hit you through walls and floors and can insta-grab you for 70% damage? Artificial bullshit.

Silver Falcon posted:Technically, Excalibur wasn't the sword in the stone. I'm quite aware, hence being specific about it being Excalibur! The real fun thing is that the sword in the stone wasn't even that special, going by Mallory (or maybe TH White) iirc he pulled it casually to give to Kay because he really needed one, then people started asking where he got it from.Of course, the entire King Arthur mythos is a combination of dozens if not hundreds of different stories from different sources including literal fanfiction from centuries after the fact.

Volte posted:Did you run straight to New Londo or something? I agree the ghosts (and upper New Londo in general) are the low point of the game but they barely make an appearance in the grand scheme of things and unless you make a real effort, you're not going to be going there anywhere near the start of the game. There's not really any other bullshit on that level. No I went up and killed the bell gargoyles and now I've gone down with all the ghosts and you have to use an item to be able to even hit them, and there are so many inside the buildings. I will prevail but it's not fun at all atm

You can't actually progress to the end of New Londo until you've completed a major milestone in the middle of the game (technically you can but you first have to do something that you probably won't and should not do on your first playthrough) so you can safely ignore that area for now.
