I picked up Hollow Knight a few weeks ago and I really love it but I'm pretty much stuck at this point.
Thinking of picking up Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight if it ever goes on sale. Has anyone here played it?

i played a couple of the older ones but not that one yet, they're solid indievanias

Maybe this should be for the absent-minded thread on ILE but I *finally* figured out how to raccoon fly in Super Mario 3, after three decades. Keep tapping, don't *hold* the button. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

whoooooooa that's great! flying is crucial in SMB3

soooooo can you not use the switch if it isn't connected to the internet?? all my games are downloaded and i tried using it in airplane mode and none of em work
― gbx, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:01 (five years ago) link
huh it should definitely work, what games were you trying to play? there was a firmware update yesterday, dunno if that affected things but it shouldn't
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:24 (five years ago) link
i was trying literally any of them
i read somewhere that if a device isn't your 'primary' console then you need an internet connection. i had mine stolen a while back. i dissociated that one from my account and got a new one, so i'm really hoping this isn't going to be some weird legacy
― gbx, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:29 (five years ago) link
all the games i've downloaded throw up a load screen that says 'checking if the software can be played,' which i assumed was firmware-related but now seems to be a DRM check
― gbx, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:31 (five years ago) link
oh right weird. did you go thru Nintendo customer service to do that or just use some function in their account system? it might still have yr new one designated as secondary
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:33 (five years ago) link
and yeah that's the same message it throws up if you preload a game that isn't out yet and try to run it
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:35 (five years ago) link
jfc -- i deregistered the old one remotely before setting up the new one and it's still showing the new one as not the primary console.
― gbx, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:51 (five years ago) link
i tried deregistering again and it says you can't do it more than once a year
― gbx, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 17:54 (five years ago) link
prob have to get Nintendo customer service to fix it for you then

Nintendo still kinda sucks at accounts, internet, everything other than making games and hardware

i like how lightweight the switch one is, it boots instantly, but it's coming at the expense of desirable features
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 18:33 (five years ago) link
the Switch OS has all the features I need: boots instantly, allows me to click on games
― Norm’s Superego (silby), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link
Nintendo account system is a confusing mess, but for what it is worth the one time I had to deal with customer service regarding the same they were super nice and helpful, even though it took a long time to straighten things out.

it's advance wars with a couple neat tweaks and the ability to push balance patches, I don't need it to be an eye-opening evolution of advance wars
― Norm’s Superego (silby), Wednesday, 30 January 2019 20:32 (five years ago) link
What are the "desirable features" you'd want? My only other experience is the PS3, which was so bad it actively made me not want to turn it on as a form of protest. (That's not to mention the whole YLOD thing - a console that doesn't even want to be used! Insane.) I like the Switch fine.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 20:40 (five years ago) link
folders/organization mainly. if you have a lot of games the only way to view them afaict is a giant grid of tiles
themes would be fun too but i can live without cosmetic stuff like that

slay the spire looks good
― ||||||||, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 22:32 (five years ago) link
its very good based on watching friends play it. the new steamworld game looks to be a deckbuilder as well
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 22:36 (five years ago) link
Slay the spire is great fun
― Mordy, Wednesday, 30 January 2019 22:39 (five years ago) link
Been getting into Slay the Spire a lot. My after work routine for the last week has been roll a J, drink tea, play StS for a hour. Being not good doesn't affect how much I love the gameplay - I've got to the 2nd boss only once and died fairly quickly. Stringing a streak of cards together so the effects multiply into a massive whooping is incredibly satisfying.
I haven't gotten into deck-builders before, they always seemed such faff. Having to play Gwent was (on of) my least favourite bit of Witcher 3. Have I judged the genre unfairly, or is StS just next level?
― closed beta (NotEnough), Thursday, 31 January 2019 09:37 (five years ago) link
sts is exceptional but i do like the genre in general
― Mordy, Thursday, 31 January 2019 13:02 (five years ago) link
gwent isnt really a deckbuilder iirc
i don't know of any other games besides StS that implement the deckbuilder thing well in a video game, theres a ton of tabletop ones though and some are good

dead cells is so good
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Sunday, 3 February 2019 04:58 (five years ago) link
How does Dead Cells compare to Rogue Legacy? seems like some pretty similar ideas at first glance
― thomasintrouble, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:11 (five years ago) link
same general concept with better gameplay and visual style afaict
― ciderpress, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:17 (five years ago) link
Bought Dead Cells for my nephew back in october and his switch profile says he's played for < 2 hrs! Looking for a polite way to ask for it back, suggestions welcome.
― JimD, Monday, 4 February 2019 17:23 (five years ago) link
"Can I borrow it?"
Then bank on his current disinterest corresponding directly to the likelihood that he ever asks to have it back.
― Evan, Monday, 4 February 2019 17:25 (five years ago) link
Trade him a crappy game for it!
― Karl Malone, Monday, 4 February 2019 19:42 (five years ago) link
In fairness there are games I've owned for 10 years and have played for < 2 hrs and still somehow believe I'll get back to at some point, so maybe I should cut him some slack.
― JimD, Monday, 4 February 2019 20:03 (five years ago) link
my daughter plays splatoon 2 and she bought the octo expansion with her allowance, but it doesn't work. apparently amazon sold us the european region version of splatoon 2 and the expansion only works with the north american region version. guessing there's no way around this right? it sucks because she was really excited for it.
