  1. Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)

    I have some on order, but not sure when they'll be here. I've never really done the whole screen protecter thing before so should be an interesting experiement. **EDIT** i just checked the shipping notiec and it looks like my tempered glass screen protector will be here tonight.
  2. Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)

    So I bought the official one with Mario icons on it, and it was OK, the fit was decent but it did not fit the joycon straps in a secure way. I bought this one and like it way more for my daily use. I put the Joycons and straps in the pockets, will hold a few games and the screen is protected. It's way smaller than the official one, and nicer to just throw in my bag. https://www.amazon.com/Travel-Carrying-Protective-Storage-Holder-Nintendo/dp/B06WGP235D/ref=sr_1_8?s=video games&ie=UTF8&qid=1489268490&sr=1-8&keywords=switch+case
  3. Honestly, it's the same with the New Nintendo 3DS - it's like I'm not sure I want to spend $200 on a thing that will be "old" the second I get it hah.
  4. Good call! I also picked up Abzu as she really loved Journey when we played it together. Has anyone seen
  5. Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)

    Oh baby, that would be nice. That game could then make me feel like an idiot on the go, hah.
  6. Mass Effect Andromeda - Thumb Drive Engaged!

    Oh man, yeah that was such a rough decision, I forget the circumstances of it, but I remember making the "bad" choice, for the good reason which made it even more bitter for me (which is totally cool).
  7. Yeah, I also think this game makes it even more stressful with the weapon degradation - it's a tough game even for people who don't mind the combat. I think I'm going to try to find bright and colorful games that focus on exploration and collection, I almost want to see if she'd enjoy 'No Man's Sky'. I do think she enjoys the "cuteness" of the world in Zelda though, those Great Fairies are awesome.
  8. I think that was a neat touch! Alas, my wife hit a wall with the combat, it just makes her too anxious. We were at the exact same point in-game, so we've decided to continue playing one file (and that I would mark shrines I found on my commute so we can play them when both of us are at home). She played for 4 hours yeseterday, which again, totally un-characteristic of her. Hopefully playing together will let her continue enjoying the game!
  9. Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)

    Yeah, I think the OS side of things feels a bit underbaked - there is a lot fo basic functionality missing. The UI seems snappy for now at least which is nice. Nintendo 64 was really the *last Nintendo console I engaged in, so I'm not sure if this is SoP or if the Switch just came in a little hot. *i did buy a Wii, but just used it as a drunken Wii Sports machine

    Do we have a friends code list up yet? 2424 4023 2249
  11. Yeah, the combat is the only thing I'm worried about - this is one of her first dual analog stick games as well so I'm sure getting used to movement and camera control is hard for someone who didn't grow up playing games!
  12. Surprisingly my wife woke up this morning, turned on the switch and sunk 3 hours into the game and absolutely lived it. My wife actively dislikes video games. I tried prying into why this had caught her attention and she said it was relaxing, it was pretty and she liked exploring the nook and crannies as there seems to be stuff hidden around every corner. She still hasn't mastered the controls, she is constantly going into a crouch when she panics but it's really cool seeing a person find video games for the first time.
  13. Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)

    So I found a neon console on Amazon Prime Now this morning, so now I have a switch. Was not prepared for how small the JoyCons are.
  14. Yeah, that was dumb, but your ascribing a scope to the Giant Bombcast that it was never meant to adhere to; you are putting it on a pedal to justify tearing it down. It's like saying "Idle Thumbs never really addressed the lack of representation for People of Color in gaming" which would be absurd because the politics and leanings of the hosts are pretty apparent and the show was mainly following a fairly simple scope: what they were playing and what off-beat popculture they found interesting.
  15. I think that is a weird thing to lay at the feet of a podcast that got it start reviewing energy drinks and talking about games they are playing. I would also argue they have also made their positions pretty obvious with posts on the site and also their personal tumblrs, maybe not bashing casual listeners over the head with it but I can think of several examples in recent years.
  16. The Next President

    Ah, I thought you had meant outside of the Democratic party - I agree with you!
  17. Painting tabletop miniatures

    Nice! here is my latest - I have a real problem with highlights, I never seem to go far enough.
  18. The Next President

    I agree with you, but It's hard to do that without guranteeing Republicans control for the forseeable future.
  19. The McElroy Family of Products

    I feel like I need to re-listen to TAZ again - I kind of lost the plot there in the middle when I had to stop listening for a bit. I wonder what they will do when this arch concludes?!

    So I've heard VPN won't work - but if you have an Amazon prime account you can add a US address to your account and subscribe through Amazon prime.
  21. Painting tabletop miniatures

    Nice clean job, even with the eyes!
  22. I enjoyed this weeks podcast - I am a big fan of the board game so it was up my alley. The Obi Wan death action is the pitts if your the Empire (but also thematically cool).
  23. Photos of things

    So my sister volunteered me as a portrait photographer for my nieces bday party - does anyone use Yonguno flashes/wireless recievers? I currently have a YN560-II that I used with the RF603-II receievers shooting through an umbrella, but my umbrella broke so I bought myself a slightly nicer softbox. A little less versatile but the light seems a little bit nicer. The problem is the flash gets put in the softbox so I can't putz around with power settings 9manual flash only) so I bought myself a wireless receiever controller combo (YN560-TX) but did not realize I couldn't control the power/zoom using the RF603-II reciever so I had to purchase a YN560-IV that has a built in wireless trasmitter. It's something I've been meaning to do for a bit, but just annoyed with a lack of documentation on Yonguno's side hah. On the plus side I'll have a main flash + a hairlight which will be handy. This is a recent shot using my last setup
  24. As someone from the southside of Chicago, I'd be curious on checking the game out - even if it's a kind of flawed morality tale.
