I had an NES AC adapter die during a lightning storm but somehow the old box itself kept going. Actually the Switch is great for when there's a storm or power outages expected, you just pop it off the dock and it's good to go.

I feel like I'm living in the future when it happens. We had a bad winter and lost power a bunch of times, and never have I appreciate the robustness of the Switch more It's especially nice compared to the PS4 where I always felt it was scolding me when it lost power while in rest mode.

I got gamepass on PC to try a game a buddy wanted me to play but I kinda bounced off it because instead of a round being 3 mins like splatoon or Mario Kart it was like an hour of shooting skeletons.l over and over. Then I tried mechwarrior 5 and everyone talked like nerds thing military types talk all dripping with testosterone and using the word sitrep and poo poo. gently caress that so I tried this game that's all colorful with a cyborg kid with a guitar and it crashes on startup for me and tons of other people apparently. So I said gently caress it and and I figured I'd play ori for a buck on the tv PC. The video card wasn't powerful enough and also filled with a little too much dust and died. Now I need to find a new video card because it's a repurposed server and the cpu doesn't have on board video and now I have to find a replacement GPU and poo poo. Don't be me just buy Ori for the Switch.

teagone posted:Game Pass on the Switch would be pretty cool, ngl. It's the only way people are going to pay for cloud game streaming on Switch. I can't imagine even dedicated reviewers would be stupid enough to spend their money on a game that will 100% be removed from the platform because not enough owners are playing it to justify hosting it in a few years.

Some sick freak probably misses the sales number segment from their E3 shows, they could just combine the investors meeting with the direct.

Fates has such a terrible story its almost charming. had fun with Conquest but never had motivation to play through Birthright due to the aforementioned awful story and the idea that Corrin would abandon the people who raised them just because their bio family showed up seems silly

I have a rock candy wired controller. It works fine on my pc but my switch does not seem to recognise this. Looking at the reviews this is sort of partially mentioned "you need to hit the buttons as soon as the switch boots or it's not recognised" says one. Another says "you need to unplug it and plug it in a lot of times for it to get recognised". Any hard and fast 'do this and it will work' advice?

I think Fates is worth playing if you're playing Engage and other FE games for the gameplay. I do recommend either skipping the cutscenes or not getting every kid since the game gets pretty bloated if you let it.

I loved the mechanics of the Laguz/beast people. It was a cool thing to throw into the mix. I'd love to have them re-released. It's almost worth it to get a Wii U and download them there on the shop before it's down but also not worth it just for that either. Almost almost worth it.

loving christ, Harvestella I'm annoyed that it took me so long to turn off voices in this game. I spent almost a whole in-game year listening to "HELLO LITTLE CROPPIES" a thousand times before looking for the option to shut them up. The fairies are brain-meltingly annoying and silencing them silences all voice lines for all NPCs, so you have to turn it up after leaving the farm if you want to hear the (very limited) VO work. I'm in the homestretch now, barring any significant post-game. I'll have a lvl9 farm tonight and then I just have to work on a few more deliveries/tasks to get the last secret job. If I want to max out everything possible, I'm going to have to do a grind I'm not looking forward to. Not because it's hard, it's just tedious. At least with fishing you can scroll on your phone or watch a movie at the same time. Overall I really like this game but there are some things that will give me pause to play it again (the fairies and almost no farm automation.)
