My left joy con briefly desynched when my laptop got between my Switch and control. Does this mean I have one that needs to be sent in?

I remember people claiming the problem was fixed before I got my Switch last week but seems not to be the case.

Mine is still a piece of poo poo, some days are better than others but it regularly desynchs.

I am going to turn it in when I'm done with Zelda because lol if I'm going to be without my Nintendo for any amount of time

I'm pretty sure the moderation has voiced their opinion on this matter already.

Do people go into the Steam thread posting pages and pages worth of pointless and often nonsensical complaints about how much they hate it? Threads in Games are typically for fans to discuss things related to the topic, they're not just open ended debate chambers where there are two equal and valid sides that deserve the same amount of attention. It's honestly a little weird to spend so much time making GBS threads on something in a place where people are fans of it. No one is going to agree or change their mind, so what's the point? The GBS Switch thread, which was made to mock it, was great and totally fine.

Lol decided to play some Puyo Puyo Tetris docked with the pro controller. Accidental hard drop due to lovely D-pad not 15 seconds into my first match. Guess I'll just stick to handheld mode for Tetris. Too bad there's no way to rebind hard drop to something else. Thank god MK8 doesn't use the D-pad like at all.

Here's a tip - you can play switch docked with the joycons too. In fact, they.... SWITCH to pretty great separated handheld controllers

I need to give those games another chance. I always get too preoccupied with trying to min-max and worry about missing things that I never finish them.

I took my Switch to a Honda service center yesterday to get my 2016 Honda Civic an oil change and whatever and I brought along my Switch. I was playing around Mario Kart when a girl (and I guess her boyfriend) was wondering what I was playing. I told her that I was playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but I was also going back and forth with Zelda. She seemed interested enough that you basically take something as gorgeous as Mario Kart on the go. The great thing about the Switch too is that is comes with two controllers. I asked her if she wanted to "Mario Kart" and she nodded. Granted it was not the most comfortable experience but we were both smiling and having a good time (made me think about getting some joycon accessories to make them more comfy) anyways I told her if you ever want to Mario Kart up again I gave her my friend code.

You're allowed to think Zelda is not amazing, but you also have to acknowledge the fact that the vast majority of people disagree with you and will consider it GOTY, best Zelda, or even among their favorite games of all time (me included). So there is gonna be pushback against (even perfectly valid) criticisms that no one asked for.

Like, way more people prefer BOTW to all previous Zelda's since... OOT? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Wind Waker was not as well received initially and LBW just didn't have the sheer amount of hype/praise. Not that popular opinion is a reliable indicator of quality, but there has to be a point where overwhelming consensus among fans and critics means something, right?

I had a ton of wifi problems in the first few weeks of the Switch. Like, it wouldn't work unless it was in a very specific position near my TV. After a few system updates and resets, though, it went away and now I have no problem finding a good wifi signal wherever I am in my house. So maybe there are a few lingering issues on the system itself? Try restarting like 5 times.

I'm looking for current season. Up to date rosters and such.

It's dumb that Sony has basically a monopoly on baseball. I bought a Vita a few years ago solely to play MLB The Show.

People still submit new rosters to the database for MLB 15, so you can download and apply to career or franchise mode. In fact, I started a new Road to the Show game just a few weeks ago using this season's rosters.

Of course Sony might disable their servers whenever they want, but for now it still works.

Sega wants people to preorder a digital game download. A digital preorder.

When new sales vectors for games come out, they always seem like bullshit -- See the first real application of DLC with the infamous Oblivion horse armor. The benefit of the doubt for DLC always existed though and could be good on paper. It eventually got around to it.
I'm not sure how digitally preordering a videogame brings anything to the table for the consumer.
I know this has happened a couple of times in the past; it just never seems less ridiculous.

Lol okay Grandpa. This has been around for years. Digital preordering sometimes lets you preload or sometimes gives you a discount / special bonus. At it's worst it's a thing that excited but maybe naive people can do to show their support for a game or developer.
