John Wick of Dogs posted:Their employees are actually paid more and work less hours per week than most Japanese or American gaming companies. Average salary is $80000, and average work day is 7 hrs 45 minutes. Most Japanese companies are 50-60 hours a week. Average length of employment is 13.5 years. If you are a lovely place to work you do not have that kind of retention. They have diversified their workforce a lot in the last couple decades, the article is talking specifically about percentage of managers specifically in the Japanese branch, which is a lot lower than it should be... a fact they disclosed themselves earlier this week after their own study, saying they want to increase this number. Yeah, it's amusing hearing about other major company working conditions, Nintendo is amongst the very best, which is saying something about the industry. That said, I wonder if their reasonable working hours are part of the reason why their games tend to rarely release during non-holiday seasons, as in they can't do work crunch's so games can't meet a strict holiday season deadline.

Nintendo actively tries to make sure crunch is not happening at their studios. They've even removed crunch culture from studios they bought, like RetroMetroid Prime Developer posted:I had two times where I was there 48 hours straight with one hour of sleep, and then a couple of 36 hour days, for the last nine months we were there pretty much 24/7...

Also means when a game really grabs me and I wanna keep playing it’s a great memorable feeling

Rutibex posted:You should play RE Zero. You can get it on the switch and its classic-style. *Kramers into thread a few pages late* "Hey, buddy, this game? It STINKS!" *kicks it across Jerry's floor* Seriously, don't bother with Zero unless you love the original style of RE so much that you need more, AFTER playing through 1, 2, and 3.

Rahu posted:If I have a physical version of a game and I buy that same game in the eShop, would I still be able to use my old save files in the downloaded version? Occasionally there are exceptions where the physical version is technically a different title, and so has a separate home screen icon and save file. This happens most frequently with "DLC included" versions since there's no other way to put DLC on a cartridge. Example: Cadence of Hyrule. Rahu posted:Bonus points if you know the answer for games in different regions because I live in the US ended up with a european copy of mario kart somehow. An example where this isn't the case is Splatoon 2, which has separate releases for Japan, North America, and Europe, I think so that NCL, NoA, and NoE can all run separate in-game promotional events.

I feel extremely stupid but I have my nice new oled switch and I’m considering not bringing it on a flight (the perfect time for switch) because I’m worried it’ll get beat up in the bag and it’s new

Do you not have a carrying case for it?

Sounds like you need a Satisfye grip and matching case!

Yeah, that's pretty much the main reason it has separated regional ROMs. Makes it easier for them to target specific regions with specific Splatfests instead of slamming everyone with a poll they can't possibly relate to.

abelwingnut posted:looking at this now, think i'd be pretty drat scared of finding out the kind of people playing this... If you think Doki Doki Literature Club is just a saccharine visual novel with dating/sex/whatever, it's not. It's really not. To explain more would spoil it, but there's a very specific point where it will drop the other shoe and things start getting very... interesting from thereon. The only real concern to raise about it is maybe don't play it if you're in a bad mental headspace. It gets real dark.

Did I see a post here explaining there was a way to mod the second version of the grip to fit the oled? I just need something to last until the new ship date off around the 15th.

You're not supposed to put the Switch in a case, you're supposed to walk around with it in your hands at all times like the rooftop party woman in the advert.

FFX is still good. Managed to drain my battery getting to some desert after fighting someone important. I'm still really liking it. The bosses haven't been hard yet. You can generally outheal any damage thrown at you while you figure out the best way to whittle down their health so that you don't have to heal. What I mean to say, you take a few turns healing and testing out some stuff. You then figure out what works and then you go in. Or just use a summon! Whatever works. It's great. I'm enjoying the message of deadbeat dads even if I have a great relationship with my own dad. It's just neat.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Lol this is unnecessarily angry, I have a case but the switch is fragile as hell if it sits in luggage being knocked around Why would you ever keep your Switch stowed away in luggage? Also, I recently posted a glowing review for a crossbody sling made specifically for the Switch that I got during Black Friday a couple days ago in this thread. If you're on-the-go a lot, and want to travel light, it's a pretty great solution imo. teagone fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Dec 4, 2021 |

It's also a good excuse to work on my 3DS backlog.

Bust Rodd posted:That’s an $80 fanny pack Yeah, it owns. [edit] As an aside, purpose-built slings are cool. I have this one for my camera https://www.chromeindustries.com/product/niko-camera-sling-2.0/BG-305.html?dwvar_BG-305_color=BK&dwvar_BG-305_size=NA&cgid=sling_bags The timbuk2 sling for the Switch was within the dimensions I preferred and also capable of stowing two grips (either joy-con grips, or split pad pro). teagone fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Dec 4, 2021 |

The other sling I was considering was this one in chocolate leather: https://www.sfbags.com/products/nintendo-switch-cityslicker-case but it doesn't fit as nearly as much stuff as the timbuk2 bag. Looks real nice though They even made a white/black one to match the SWOLED.

Have people been able to find Switch OLEDs recently? My cursory googling has informed me that it’s been easier to find them in-store but all the local Targets have been out of stock.
