I have been playing dark souls on the switch and I get the appeal. It's moody, complex and very engaging. I still havent gotten very far. I'll consider some other games by them when I eventually finish it

is elden ring tempering anyone else's hype for BOTW2, it scratches the same itch but with so much more variety than BOTW had

I'm enjoying Elden Ring and I think I've only glimpsed some of its more exotic biomes but it's not really scratching the same exploration itch that BotW did. Something about the very tiny variations in the landscape itself paired with things like koroks made BotW's landscape feel like a more deliberate, or at least more intimate, communication than Elden Ring's. Elden Ring's areas make sense and are nice but seem more like the logical connection between the fewer but bigger set pieces like mini dungeons instead of a destination in and of itself.

I am gonna be disappointed if BotW 2 reuses a significant chunk of topography.

Ask me about the time I hefted a CRT monitor home by myself. From a store in the city, carried to the train station, And (mercifully) getting a lift home from my Mum from the station ear home.

Once in high school the computer lab was getting rid of two CRTs and a few keyboards. I figured there was a good chance they weren't actually broken so I asked to take them home myself. I still rode the bus.

The bus was full so I had to stand and carry the monitors for the ~15 minutes of transit time there, then I had to carry them the rest of the way home which was normally a 10 minute walk. I don't remember how long the walk took me with two small CRTs in tow but I do remember it started drizzling to the point that I was thoroughly damp and cold by the time I got up to my second story apartment.

So much so that when I got inside I put them on the ground, made it about halfway to my bed, then passed out on the floor instead.

Neither monitor worked but the keyboards did.

For comparison:



(Does not include the optional mdf stand)

I once purchased and returned a Sony KV-40XBR700 (HD stuff looked good but SD stuff looked 100x worse than a non-HD crt).



It's a 40 inch flat tube crt. Anyway the TV weighs 304 pounds. Me and my friend (who is a weightlifter btw) had purple fingers for like two hours after lifting it.

I think at one point Sony required you buy their stand and they included it in the price because they were worried about people getting killed putting it on standard furniture.

It also had this thing it did where whenever there was a lot of the color white on the screen (common at the end of TV commercials where they're giving you a phone number or website) the TV would emit a horrifying bonking/electrical sound.

i remember that little window where big rear end projection TVs were all the rage for the McMansion set. I also remember being told you weren't supposed to connect a console to them for ~reasons~

they never looked good IMO but maybe all my friend's parents just didn't configure them right?

I do love crts but I always despised computer monitors that were CRTs (which is all they were for the first 20 years of my life except on laptops) because my eyes would always water like crazy after maybe an hour of use. I never had that problem on laptops or whatever and it turned out it had to do with the refresh rate being so slow that my eyes could somewhat notice it. I remember the lower I made the hz go the worse it made my eyes hurt. I wonder if that was your issue too. Oddly enough I never had that issue with television or arcade crts. Which have a much lower hz screen! 🤷‍♂️

Rear projection TVs. Also DLP projector TVs. Those were bigger in the early 00s. Both were absolutely horrible. There was no way to configure them well. If you weren't sitting directly in front of it, you couldn't see the image

Elden ring is great, zelda Botw is great. They're both probably the most fun I've had in an open world game. I think Witcher 3 is up there too. They're all different so I can like them without saying which I like the most.

I hope they add some sort of in-game flag to recognize specific things done in games. "Beat LTTP for 200 platinum points". Will do!

Third person shooter where you kill people: I won't play that no sireeple
Racing sim: go to hell
Fishing sim: go to hell
Golfing sim: go to heaven
Jrpg: I'll take eleven
Platformer: play everyday
Sokuban: no thank you ma'am
Gacha game: a loving sham
Indie game about depression: I like these they're my obsession
Zombie games? Just an excuse to kill people, don't like em
Arcade racer: Like those ones
Arcade shooter: tons of fun
Western Rpg: yes sir
Farming rpg: no thanks
Sports sim: boring
Sports arcade: you've got it made

If any game I do not like a grappling hook should have, then that game is now a good game. But they do not make Madden games where you have a grappling hook

I think that covers every genre of video game

Elden ring actually feels fun to explore unlike BOTW even if it has the open world problem of reusing assets but realistically that’s inevitable.
Mtjough I expect BOTW2 will use basically the same map but flesh it out and put interesting stuff on it

If you’ve played it and it wasn’t your jam, that’s fine, but I will recommend Dark Souls (available on Nintendo Switch!) for anyone who hasn’t tried it and does enjoy games like Zelda or Metroid Dread.

Their reputation is kind of overblown; yes it’s difficult and you’re going to die a lot, but that’s an element the game is consciously designed around. There’s loads of checkpoints and the punishment for dying is pretty minor. Even a scrub like me eventually beat that game.

Did they ever fix the bug where B means confirm and A means cancel?

Nah, you're looking at the wrong franchise. I'd say Yakuza's the more likely comparison, where they stick to the old map, toss in the old existing mechanics, and then iterate a whole bunch of new ones and content into it to make it much more populated.

Now I'm thinking a crossover game with Kiryu in Hyrule would be aces.

You kind of missed action/adventure, the genre where grappling hooks are most common. I don’t know how you feel about those!

Not a bug, just an annoying conscious decision. You can remap any buttons you want in the options lemon squeezy though.

So if I add credit to my Switch account, I can still use that stuff to buy games on my 3DS? I just can't buy games directly through the 3DS with a debit card if I understood correctly right?

I added eShop credit on the Switch and used it to buy a game on the WiiU just fine, they all share funds if you use the same account.
