It's baffling to me how people are pricing the NSO Expansion exclusively using the N64 app when the Genesis app is also there and has an incredible library of games. I have seen people say that they're also not worth it since the Sega Genesis Collection is also on Switch and is "cheaper", and I can tell that not a single one of them has ever tried to play a Sonic game on that.

Man, I wish Project Warlock had gyro aim. I'm actually surprised that it doesn't. I mean, I did only play it for a few minutes last night but I don't recall seeing the option there. Still great, though.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Is that the bug that eats your savegame as well as crash? in short, no except yes. any crash of any game on the switch online emulators has the potential to destroy your saves because the app doesn't permanently save your file until it is properly exited (and if you just keep it open via sleep mode and never switch apps, that could be literally your entire playthrough) it's just only a problem here because no other games (?) crash in normal play

I'm happy I'm finally gonna give it another shot Which is to say MM is very good--or at least very memorable. On the surface it's an off-model Zelda in the OoT engine on the N64 which means it's blurry jank by design, and these days often compounded by emulation issues. But, thematically, the game totally plays into it. Everything about MM feels oppressive, but as you play through your'e able to gain just enough control over that oppression to make meaningful--if fleeting--progress in it.

Is the regular switch cartridge slot as hard to open as the OLED? I have stumpy fingernails and they can't open it as easily as the lites slot. Any cool life hacks for morons like me with moron hands? I need to taste the cartridges so please don't troll me by suggesting I buy Mario golf digitally.

Honestly, iFixit's Essential Electronics Toolkit is pretty useful if you ever need to break into a laptop or phone or something like that. Edit: If you want a "lifehack" there's almost certainly something in your kitchen that will do it, but will also probably scratch the poo poo out of it too if you're not careful.

I'm again going to recommend this thread for the expansion pack. People are still looking for others to join the family plan, and it comes to about $10 per person per year. I played through Paper Mario 64 and it's quite possible I will not play any others and for $10 I'm OK with that. Obviously you could wind up out $10 because someone does something dishonest but it's working for me so far.

If we can't get a new F-Zero on Switch than we should at least get a new Excite game. I was playing Excitetruck/Excitebots on my Wii U yesterday and those games kick major rear end.

Folks, I have an update post regarding the nonogram solver I've been working on which is probably only of interest to the folks here who like Picross (which is most everyone?) and computer science (which is a surprisingly number of Picross players?). Since last week I've implemented (i) overlaps, (ii) corrected my hint placement counts and (iii) did this thing: ExcessBLarg! posted:Probably what I'm missing is a step where, whenever it places a hint for (say) a row, it checks to see if any column has only one hint that could satisfy it, and in that case it places that next. What's interesting here is how this came about. As I mentioned before, I wasn't sure that implementing support for filling in overlapping hint candidates would be valuable since it's extra computation that's repeated when you go to finalize the hint later. When solving by hand, yes, it's a good move. When doing it on a computer, overlaps does make solving "more iterative" with less guessing, but sometimes just guessing is cheaper overall. The real benefit from implementing is that it forced me to restructure my solver a bit, and it also revealed a couple of subtle bugs regarding my line count calculations when you have multiple hints on the same line. Without overlaps those bugs just resulted in additional "guessing", but with overlaps it revealed contradictions on the board that shouldn't have happened with correct math, and fixing the bugs there was definitely valuable. The final part, that when placing a hint to make sure that each filled spot is satisfied by a hint's candidate positions in the opposite direction was the real win. This was a rule I had identified early on, but I didn't like that there was an ambiguity--if you have two hints that could cover the same spots on the board then you don't necessarily know which to attribute it to. But when you do only have one hint that can satisfy it, you can prune its candidate positions and iterate towards the solution much more quickly than trying to fill a row and making sure it actually matches up with the columns' hints later. Right now I'm not addressing the ambiguous case--with additional bookkeeping I probably could go back and check those later, but for now I'm doing nothing which I think is the source of the remaining guesses the solver has to do. Anyways, all this is to say I might actually like Picross now. I started blasting through Mario's Super Picross since, after staring at debug dumps generated by my solver, I think I can do these pretty quickly.

How do you enter hints, and how does it display solutions? I just type in a pair of lists of clues, and it renders a text version of the grid at each iteration. Simple and convenient. But *seriously* not well suited to mega-picross and colour-picross. Kind of one of the things that triggers my 'laziness reflex' in terms of taking that next step. Just as an aside, what language have you used for your solver?

Not sure why I added hundreds of hours to a backlog that will never be finished as is but I couldn’t stop myself. On another note, if anyone has the same problem with buying third party joy cons as I do, I found my new favorite. I could only find them on Ali express, so the month for delivery was annoying but judging by the week I’ve had them they are worth it. Shaped more like the split pad than the binbok with both rumble and gyro. They also have the programmable extra button, turbo function, and adjustable vibration. The mechanical button noise took a bit to get used to but I really like it now. They also come with a changeable face plate so they can be white or black, not sure how they work since I’ve left the black ones on mine. One note, they don’t work wirelessly. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOtS8tm
