tbf i get 500 emails a week from Enterprise even though i only rented a car from them once and i've unsubscribed to their list several dozen times. so some of those emails might as well be about potential Switch deals

I've seen lots of good things about Into the Breach, but I couldn't stand FTL - too fiddly and chore-like - is his any different?

i did try moonlighter. i played for about...5-6 hours. it's a great idea for a game, switching between dungeon crawling and selling loot at the shop, and i'd love to see the next version of it. or another take on it from a different studio. unfortunately i thought the mechanics of both sides of the game were pretty shallow. admittedly i got a little addicted to it when i first played it, because the structure of the game lends itself to a "one more day!" kind of thing. but after i took a break from it for a few days i had no desire to go back again.

it looked like a kinda bland recettear clone so i didn't try it

Kids have a console each. Will it cause problems if I link both consoles to my Nintendo account? Or is it best to set them both up with their own account?
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 25 December 2018 18:21 (five years ago) link
Your account can download games to “secondary” consoles but there’s some arcane set of rules that will occasionally check in and prevent anyone from playing download games from the same account on more than one console at a time. If you want kiddos to have cloud save backups you should get the online family plan and give them each their own online account to attach to their profile. This is probably all better spelled out in an faq somewhere

so i presume you'll be able to see who steals someones gear from work?

anyone ever buy games from the other regional stores ? some good deals to be had

GRIS is really good, folks. It is superbly paced, controls great, and is really breathtakingly beautiful. Some people will argue that its focus on aesthetics over mechanics makes it a bad game, or *not* a game (I once had a dude tell me that Undertale was "not a game"). Those people are wrong.
― days of being riled (zchyrs), Monday, 31 December 2018 12:14 (five years ago) link
i dont see how you could argue that one's not a game, it's pretty thoroughly a platformer, just not a hard one

i got it but haven't had time to play it yet

Was just playing that on new years eve! Super fun; frustrating controls and camera but it's so goofy it doesn't matter really especially when playing with friends.
I don't think they did anything special with it though it's just a port afaik
― Evan, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:12 (five years ago) link
yeah it's just the first game remastered for hd resolution
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
that's good enough for me, the original katamari games are some of my favorites and there hasn't been a good way to play them in a while
― na (NA), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:46 (five years ago) link
katamari is a top ten all time game for me and i look forward to confusing the hell out of my partner with it
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:55 (five years ago) link

30% off MK8D, Arms, and Splatoon 2 are as cheap as these games will be in their digital version for probably ever. Mario+Rabbits w/ DLC under $30.

Basically if you have a new Switch for Xmas but no Mario Kart yet, and you're doing all digital, buy Mario Kart now because the base price is never gonna drop and it will probably not be discounted again for 9 months or so.
