He was all ‘bonjour’ this and ‘sacre bleu!’ that in the most animated fashion ever. Was great craic.

pretty insensitive of bam to be so racist when a frenchperson was in the chat mind you

I couldn’t believe me ears.
And then he started going on about fishing quotas and how he’d take back control!

Haha of course not

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild Social

Out in 15 hours guys after what feels like a 15 year wait. If silly old Dark Souls deserves a dedicated thread, then so does Link. Please, no spoilers. Just general thoughts and banter unless you hide plot specifics. SO INSANELY EXCITED.

Sorry this looks pass agg and it’s not meant to be, just that this thread is a great (and very active!) resource for BOTW where people can help you out

tilty · 2021-01-19T11:32:26.635Z

lol.

well THANKS.

You can race Theo to finish it

Joy Cons have gone to Nintendo repair so I’m temporarily grounded. Anyone have a recommendation for a wireless controller that won’t break the bank (pro controller I’m looking at you)?

nemrac · 2021-01-19T12:21:56.359Z

I like just having a second pair of joy cons so I’ve always got one set charging while I use the other set

Also thought it would be nice to play four-way Mario Kart/Overcooked with friends but obviously that hasn’t happened yet

thesewoodenideas · 2021-01-19T12:24:12.614Z

The pro controller is boss tbf.
Probably worth looking at 8bitdo stuff. Their controllers are snes compatible and highly regarded or if you already have a PS or Xbox pad then 8bitdo do a wireless adapter so you can use those on Switch.

Want in to the DiS Mario Kart DM group?
Racing at 9pm Thursdays.

Played Abzu in one sitting tonight.

Very pretty and gorgeous music, but left me a bit underwhelmed. Just felt a bit hollow, I guess the idea is just to revel in the atmosphere, but I don’t care about fish that much. The puzzles were pointless, the plot was partridgeshrug.gif. Some moments near the end were a bit “epic” but ultimately, meh. Only cost me a couple of quid and nice way to spend a couple of hours I guess, but wouldn’t say it’s a must play.

chadders · 2021-01-20T11:11:32.039Z

I’m giving some serious thought to the SNES version.

I mean it’s your choice but other than retro aesthetic don’t you think the extra handles would be more comfortable?

my old workplace had 4 of these on an emulator, and after about 4 rounds of Mario Kart my hands were borked

chadders · 2021-01-20T11:19:09.425Z

Probably, yeah (but it looks so nice!). I think in reality I’ll go for the one you have or a pro if funds allow. I’m waiting to hear from Nintendo repair regarding the joy cons which if fixed for nowt will help to making a decision one way or the other.

daggers · 2021-01-20T11:20:15.363Z

it’s much better than the pro which is why I’m always harping on about it! Not just my opinion either, I did my research online before buying it. I suppose PC/Retropie compatibility made my decision for me
