I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.

Has anyone recently connected their Switch to hotel wifi that has one of those sign in portals? I've been looking on the internet but all the advice I've seen seems to be either out of date (from back when the Switch would gladly open a web page renderer) or generated (telling me to try using an incognito window). I've tried reaching the sign in page through the social media options but it just tells me it was unable to reach the website.

Couldn't you do it with your phone or other device then make that a hotspot for your switch to connect to

idk what that would do for the latency but if you're not planning on playing online and just want to download some poo poo it should be fine?

No. Use your phone to connect to the hotel wifi and deal with whatever sign in portal via your phone's browser. Then share that wifi connection to your switch as a hotspot.

Yeah we call it roaming when using mobile data abroad; I have no idea what it meant in 2005.

T mobile you get international data no upcharge, just slower.

It used to be in the really 00s you would get roaming charges for making calls if you stepped over an arbitrary line in your own city/county

I mean, "roaming" is what cell companies use to talk about when they need to let a client call from another provider because they've left their area. even if technology evolved the term stuck.

e: for reference, the only hardcore smash guy i know thinks the original 64 game was the best, and thought ultimate was lacking, especially in handling and mechanics. is this a common thought? is he nuts? he's kind of nuts about other things, so...would be understandable.

I've been playing Smash for 20+ years but thankfully have avoided the nuttiness like this that often comes with the territory. The best Smash is the most recent one.

I think they can screw up the pacing depending on how a game distributes them and what direction they take them in a game. I think they’re great in Super Mario World, but more annoying in NSMB2.

They’re cool in SMW because they kinda feel like you’re playing a corrupted version of the game. Very little signaling of what the “puzzle” is. Which you think would make them gatekeepers, yet a 7-year-old is usually able to brute force the level (although they’re going to feel pretty lost.)

In other games they’re kinda just gimmicky slogs.

Does Wonder give you a way of dealing with Boos out of curiosity or is Invincibility still the only way to fully get them out of your hair? Glad to hear they finally made the ghost houses fun at least (though the ones in 3D Land/World weren’t terrible in my opinion)

it's so funny the things they just don't give a gently caress about while also doing demented creative poo poo concurrently. if they made a new F-Zero they'd probably still use the same announcer.wavs from the n64

They made a new F-Zero and get this they didn't include an announcer at all!!!!!!!!

But does Wonder have the Booster Tower theme song in it?

Because I have the Booster Tower theme song in me.

It's in my head.

it's a joy to play. controls are great, it's beautiful, the characters are so expressive, the levels have fun gimmicks and the wonder flowers are always surprising. i'm only on the second world but it's great!!!

idk if it beats smb3 but i admittedly have a huge soft spot for smb3 so i can't be a fair judge. i can say that wonder is insanely good and i can't wait for everyone else to dive in in a few days, it's beautiful and fantastic and fun and i really have no complaints.

Any goons manage to win a race in F-Zero 99 yet? I think I came in 3rd once, it feels harder to win a race than it was to win in Mario 35 or Tetris 99. Probably because I’m terrible at F-Zero :negative:

bayonetta origins is done and I won’t bother with the bonus epilogue because as far as I’m concerned everything about bayo 3 can fall down a hole

good game but as an effective coda to platinum’s output it really shows how they lost something around the time scalebound got axed. astral chain was okay but its enemy roster and set pieces weren’t nearly up to par with their best output and both bayo 3 and origins was just them going back to astral chain again with mixed results
