The Nintendo Switch

this is what my regular game search looked like for a week before we got a stay at home order

Nintendo Switch (DC)

I recently bought a Nintendo Switch. I just want to get rid of it because I’m spending too much time on it and not enough time focused on my girlfriend.

Please text me only and we can figure out a way for you to pick it up while still social distancing.

Any smash players try the ethernet adapter? WiFi lag is pretty rough, but it might be the rest of the network.

i have one and it makes a pretty big difference, the switch's wifi chip is ass

you can use pretty much any usb to ethernet adapter on the market, you dont need an official one

Thx! I’ll try one. They are like $10.

My 3 year old Switch has decided to start throwing an error code at me and forcing a restart on a fairly regular basis. I've looked into it and I might have to send it for repairs...which isn't possible right now. This is extremely upsetting.

Oh that suuuuuuuucks

now is not the time

I didn't read the word "Switch" in that post and thought it was pretty funny

i had brutal drift that was making mine almost unplayable... ordered some electronic contact cleaner and after like 60 seconds of testing it seems good? can't wait to try it for more than a minute and see if it's actually good now

drift is killing me when trying to place items in AC

if nothing else, just doing the thing where you lift up the rubber pad on the analog stick (with tweezers or whatever) and putting some isopropyl alcohol on there will help immensely

update: drift is still there after a 2nd rd of contact cleaner, which i think is supposed to be like isopropyl on steroids, so fuck :(

i’ve only just realised i stopped playing luigi 3 solely because i bought the physical version and can never be bothered getting up to put in the game card, and over time it’s fallen off my home screen and i forgot i even had it

I need to get a memory card for mine, I've had to delete a couple of things so that I could install Animal Crossing. I know next to nothing about memory card specs etc so if anyone's got any suggestions or guidance I'd be eternally grateful

it's microSD, same as what most smartphones etc use for memory expansion. theres lots of counterfeit/dud microSD cards out there so only buy from a major brand/retailer like samsung or sandisk, don't try to save a few bucks with a weird one

i have a 128gb which is more than enough space to hold a bunch of indie & nintendo games, they're probably like 25 bucks these days

i picked up a 400 gb card on a recent sale, thank god

They are also speed rated so spend a couple more bucks to get a fast one.

Yeah that's what I read, to look for a high transfer rate to improve performance

mine’s 100mb/s and seems like enough

speed will mostly just translate to slightly faster loading times

what an odd story that is

Disco Elysium port in the works woohoo

yesssssssssssss

Is that news, or only that it is coming to Switch? They had at least said it would hit other consoles in 2020, right?

switch version is new news

great news - my preferred console for indie games

will buy

Hmm.. I'm inherently skeptical of any game with that much tiny text playing well on a console tbh

qui est 'Heatho'?

That's me

Cool!

i fear the baseball homunculi

to be clear, in y'alls opinion: if i don't give a shit about baseball, i will like this series?

no?

okay, i thought this was one of those where the gameplay trumps the genre

I don't give a shit about baseball but SMB owns. I imagine if I gave a shit about baseball it would own^2

good enough for me; downloading the smb2 demo

baseball has such a specific and constrained game space that you can't really make baseball gameplay that appeals to someone who doesn't like baseball

if you're saying you don't care about watching pro baseball then that's another matter

I've never watched or played baseball, and didn't really understand the rules (never mind the nuances) until I played SMB... I still find it heaps of fun and it became more fun the more I learned about the nuances of the game so I guess to that extent it maybe means I'm 'into baseball'?

I like cricket

they should make super mega cricket

i was more of a smb1 guy but 2 is also good

personally i don't think someone who doesn't like baseball would like super mega baseball, but that's just me. it does have some cartoony/arcade-like aspects, but it doesn't go so far to change the game as, say, NFL Blitz or NBA Jam did

i'd say so, especially if you like cricket!

if baseball ever starts up again, mosey on over to the ILBaseball board. the team to root for is definitely the st louis cardinals - JOIN US
