I looked for longer than I'm willing to admit for the alleged pube, but I can't find it.
That thing definitely needs to be cleaned though :stare:

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I've only ever accidentally taken a screenshot

Me too, like 75% of the time, the next 15% is when I’m in bed winding down and playing something mindless, the last 10% is plane, long car ride or whatever type of transportation.

e: it’s getting harder and harder to play handheld.
I have a launch model and the battery doesn’t last very long anymore :(

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I use the screenshot function a lot. Sometimes it's a helpful reminder of a hint a game gives me that I may need later. Sometimes I want to share something cool to a thread like this one. Sometimes I want to tell a thread why a game is great and will use screenshots or video to help show off the game.

Basically the screenshot/video function owns like hell and I'm glad the Switch has it.

long ago, my friend was a wedding photographer for a while, and said "well, the basic theory to get a good shot is that you take hundreds of photographs, and hope that 1, possibly 2, turn out ok.." so to this day, I jam tf out of the screenshot button

I don't think that's a treatment but I haven't done any research into it or anything.

Do you need a capture card for it though, can't you just plug the dock in directly to the monitor

I picked it up for basically $20 at Target a few weeks back and sat down to start playing it. After around two hours I was like, "This is really weird" but the story is apparently going to go somwhere. I also will have an extra Joker amiibo shortly if anyone needs one.

To be fair its not like it's a particularly arduous process to do(used to do it a bunch for Bloodborne and Gundam Breaker 3* screenshots)

*now there's a game that should have had a Switch port

It is a very good DK platformer. If you are OK with typical DK platforming physics, it is great.

Persona 3 is also on my radar but not for 70 bucks, nah. I'm sure it'll go on sale in a few months.

New Gundam break is absolute trash.

Bring back Gundam breaker so i don't need to play it on my vita. Making your own robit man is sick as hell.
