It was especially good because there is zero indication that's what it's gonna be. You boot up "Serious Moonlight" and get a Final Fantasy-esque title screen and then...Garcia loving Hotspur loving dies.

love the inverted British aesthetic of the game. Team Yell being obnoxious football hooligans is hilarious. reading reviews it sounds like they got a lot of flak for being a joke but as far as expectations being subverted from something like Team Rocket it's working for me.

The big reason folks are down on them is that the previous generation pulled off similar beats much better with Team Skull. Everyone adores Team Skull.

lookin up team skull they look pretty fun. i dont have a 3DS though... hmm whatre the odds it gets a rerelease on the Switch?


do the DLCs for Pokemom games ever go on sale? the Scottish DLC for Sword/Shield looks pretty fun. but wondering if maybe i just save my money for another game. perhaps get Arceus or Violet/Scarlet if i get a hankering for more Pokemon

I don't think a Switch rerelease is likely, and I wouldn't bank on the DLC going on sale, either.

I'd recommend springing for Scarlet/Violet if you're hankerin for more pokémon. Or Arceus, if that appeals to you; it has far fewer trainer battles and no gym circuit, and instead the gameplay is entirely centered around filling out the pokédex.

Scarlet and Violet are much more open world, where Sword and Shield are just long hallways. But SV also has huge performance issues in comparison. It's not unplayable. But it's noticeable pretty often.

I just noticed katamari damacy reroll is 75% off in the eshop. We ❤️ only has 25% on the bundle, which basically gives you a couple costume dlcs for free if you pay full price for the game.

I don't mind paying full price for We ❤️, but I've still got too many things to play atm before I can justify purchasing it. So I'll... just... wait. (I'll probably get it this weekend gently caress the rest.)

how far is too far for joycons?

i've googled around and found mixed reports, anywhere from 8' to 20'. i'm about 8' away with my new oled, and they keep disconnecting--probably once every 10min or so. the switch's in sight, though maybe my arms are moving every so slightly out-of-sight for a few seconds here and there.

the only possible issue i could think of is it's right next to my ps5 on the middle shelf of an audio rack where everything's fairly close together. there are a few receivers, computers, etc. around it. maybe some other device is interfering with the radio signal? that'd be weird, though, given i first tried this last night and only the switch, tv, and mac mini were on.

anyone had issues at this distance? i updated the switch and the controllers and all that.

Joycons communicate with bluetooth so it could be interference. Most BT devices are rated for around 30 feet under ideal conditions.

Faster than the others



Another thing I've heard is to watch how you're gripping the joycons; if you're covering the front, your hands might be disrupting the signal.

According to Nintendo all of these things can gently caress with your joycons

quote:

Ensure that the Nintendo Switch console is placed to minimize interference with the Joy-Con. It is best if the Nintendo Switch console is placed out in the open and that it is not:
Behind a TV
Near an aquarium
Placed in or under a metal object
Pressed against a large amount of wires and cords
Within three to four feet of another wireless device, such as a wireless speaker or a wireless access point.
Check for possible sources of interference and turn them off. Interference can be caused by devices, such as:
Laptops, tablets, etc.
Wireless headsets
Wireless printers
Microwaves
Wireless speakers
Cordless phones
USB 3.0-compatible devices such as hard drives, thumb drives, LAN adapters, etc.

lol, yea, i think i check every box but the aquarium and microwave ones there. not necessarily in a metal box, but surrounded by a decent amount of metal regardless.

alright, i'll play with its position. thanks. didn't realize it would be THAT sensitive to other electronics. the ps5 works fine, but this is a switch after all. i'm sure the bluetooth is weaker here for reasons.

That is why it's recommended to put your Switch in an oven and never in a microwave.

my favorite example of this is in the game Drawn to Life for the DS where when when you put the DS in sleep mode you get a sound byte of the characters saying "Awwwwwww" and when you open it up again they say "yaaaaaay"

as a kid i used to cycle through them a bunch for fun instead of actually, playing the game

The craziest thing about Yoshi, for me, is how Miyamoto has gone on record to say that he wanted to include him in the first Super Mario Bros game, but the technology wasn't there to pull it off the way he envisioned it.

I seriously thought the voice was just something they did for the direct. But then the next direct had more of them, and I hated it.
