This controller makes me happy. I’m off to play Baba and Kirby forever. That is all.

I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!

I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!

@nintendobynature It's fantastic! You asked, so here goes: deep breath
The sticks are about the size of the Joycon sticks, but are a harder plastic one piece, so I don't have a fear of breaking them. The dpad is the best since the original snes. The buttons are nice and clicky, without any of that weird top resistance that makes it feel gated. The ZL/R placement looks weird side-by-side with L/R instead up stacked, but it works out well. I didn't feel like there was much useless travel in any button, either. The rumble isn't HD, but it is still noticeable. The only downside I've found so far is that I can't bring the system up from sleep with it.
Here's a quick test rundown I did on stuff last night:

NES games (SMB 2/3, Kirby, Dr Mario, Tecmobowl) - Dpad made a world of difference to my play. Got to world 4-3 in SMB3 without dyin. Having the Start/Select buttons in an NES placement definitely made a difference in some games.
BotW - I'm starting to prefer this over my Pro Controller after just 20 minutes. Did a stasis object shrine and explored with some light combat and climbing. The lighter weight (1.1lbs!) and shape means I'm not vise-gripping handles and that somehow helps my thumbs free up(?). The motion for slate and bow view works well.
Fortnite - I'll have to configure my own controls. I struggled moving in the menu because I kept going for the Dpad. I may even try gyro after seeing it in BotW
NSMBUD - Since you can play with a dpad, this game is going to get some more love this weekend. I made it through a ghost house level without getting hit as Toad.

@ThanosReXXX "Well, you know how I feel about men knitting, but I can't help but appreciate your skill, so there."

Wait....why have there been prior conversations about men knitting at all?

BTW, remember pre-emptive pessimism and it's value? It strikes again. I have a (famously cheap brand but high value for the dollar) audio switch panel/processor that heads my main audio rack. Thing's CHEEPCHEEP (relatively) but it's known to be pretty robust, reliable, and a solid performer. I've had it for 8 years or so, but it was scarcely used for most of that, and not even plugged in. Still, it's the head for the whole system so it's an important piece (just the array of input switching it offers is worth more in individual switch/covnverter boxes than the whole unit, and does it sleekly.) So I've been seeking a used one for ages just to have around in the event this one fails since it's the most used single component, and it's not exactly premium build (but it is robust anyway, it may be "made in China" quality but it's a German budget design, and it's not a plastic shell, it's really meant for budget studio/live-sound use.) Finally the other day, one showed up so I ordered it. A day too late. Yesterday the one it was supposed to be a backup for seems to have fried the input board when a power cord was kind of iffily in it's socket and caused it to flicker quickly on and off a few times.....now it sees no inputs. So the backup spare will go right into production as soon as it arrives, and I'll need to buy ANOTHER backup spare, since the production one couldn't even last until it's own backup spare arrived to fail.

My pessimism is just not pre-emptive enough. But at least it was ALMOST in sync with failure rates

Btw, what is the differences between Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum ?
The things i only noticed the differences from three of them are :
1. They have different Legendary Pokemons. (Diamond = Dialga, Pearl = Palkia, Platinum = Giratina)
2. The boy / girl character wore different outfits on Platinum version.
What else for other differences ?

Pearl and Diamond are the same game with a few different wild pokemon and a different legendary pokemon in the center of the story.

Platinum is an updated third version, basically the same game as Diamond and Pearl, but with additions and new story secuences to add Giratina into the mix.

It also has the same Battle Frontier as Heart Gold/Soul Silver, and from what I know the whole game was made faster.

If you were to get just one of them, I'd recommend going with Platinum, since it's, well updated and with more content.

@AlohaPizzaJack great to hear sounds like an awesome investment. I may get the sn30 pro (2 maybe?) With The gameboy color scheme. Originally I was looking at the f30 pro but lack of zl and zr really puts a damper on me Getting it since I wont be able to play all games on it. I'll be doing my taxes soon so maybe I'll grab it then. Of course though, it's payday for me today, so maybe if I have a couple beers tonight I might " accidentally" click order in my Amazon shopping cart πŸ˜…

Email that I sent to a director awhile ago:

So is REDACTED a physician in the same way that Dr. Mario is a family doctor?
If you have spare DSMs, she could use a read.

In a room by herself.

Without windows.

The director's reply?

I find it inconsiderate that you would belittle a colleague in such a way.

Dr. Mario is not only an Internal Medicine specialist, but also a registered Dietitian.

Go home in shame.

Well, for the plain and simple reason that @Morpheel brought it up. It started with a scarf, if I remember correctly, then came a hat/beanie, and now we're looking at creepily dark looking teddy bears...

As for the tech part of your comment: I'm not stepping into that one again. I just don't understand how people can have SO many issues with electrical devices. I've had my share of devices failing me, but instead of things happening monthly, we're talking about perhaps a dozen events in total spread across more than 30 years. And most have been PC related, such as hard drive crashes, a gfx card overheating and so on. The most recent one was last month, when one of my two internal hard drives suddenly became invisible and couldn't be accessed anymore from the My Computer window.

So, I switched the PC off, opened the case up, removed all components, cleaned everything out (there was quite a bit of dust build up), put it all back together again, and lo and behold: my drive was back from the twilight zone...

Haven't had any issues since.

Your director deserves a cookie.

@Anti-Matter: Platinum, as mentioned above, offers the best bang for your buck. It made a lot of QoL improvements over Diamond/Pearl, though I love the other two as well. Those games are still home to my favorite use of secret bases and the Underground. Also, I'm pretty sure Mt. Coronet in those games was the last time I genuinely got lost in a Pokemon game.

Also, the Distortion World friggin' ROCKS. It's a shame that you can't get back into the main part of that realm after traversing it....

Made a cheesecake with gelatin.

Please send good vibes so it ends up as a cheesecake instead of a milkshake with a gummy ball inside.

IMO We need more weird Pokemon combos like that. The only Electric/Grass combo that comes to mind is Rotom Cut/Mower Rotom.
