@bimmy-lee It was a nail biter alright. But the Saints offense got outplayed, fair and square. Brees’s pride got to him as well since you’ve got to tuck the ball, 4th quarter incoming sack. I’m sure that moment is going play through his head for a while. The NO defense wanted that fumble but the refs booth call was right. His knee was down.
@NotTelevision - Like a champ. It was a great game, and if you’re a NO fan, they gave you all you could hope for. Brees and Payton still have some time, especially with that young buck Hill eager to steal some snaps. This one really adds to what is becoming a great playoff rivalry. I won’t miss a down the next time they play.
@Heavyarms55 - Glad to hear you had a nice holiday break. Hopefully the charge can last you another semester. I’m at the very end of my break as well, just soaking up the last few hours here until the gears rudely break free from their rusty slumber tomorrow morning. It seems you may still be in the future. I think all my stuff has real switches and buttons. Sounds like I’ll hold off for a while after the great finger sensor switchover.
@Heavyarms55 I had a pretty good holiday myself. Probably a bit too much indulgence in the food and drink department, but everyone says I need to eat more so I took their advice. I ended up getting Cities, Skylines in that sale and am really getting into it. 3rd restart though. Learned too late about the importance of a good traffic system. My last city ended with garbage piling up in the landfills and citizens getting sick 😂. Live and learn.
@bimmy-lee To be fair most of mine do still have buttons. But I'm seeing this "not-button" touch sensors more and more often over the last few years. My students don't seem to mind everything being touch screens and sensors but I don't like either. It makes me feel like a grumpy old man. I'm glad I don't have a lawn or I might start yelling at kids to get off it. XD
@NotTelevision That's pretty par for the course for the holidays, we all eat more. In my case I got drunk twice in two weeks, not buzzed, but legitimately hammered. I only drink so heavily every few months so it wasn't the healthiest I have been.
I love Skylines. Every now and then I just lose a day to that game. And Traffic is one of the toughest parts. Another thing to be careful of is heat on maps that get cold. I had a big like, 50k population city, then winter hit without heat and an epidemic spread through my city - that was very much game over. Another thing that took a while to figure out was that educated works stop working in industry if you invest in education, you need to convert your industry to office buildings for business. And doing that strains commercial so you need more outside connections to bring in merchandise that you no longer make yourself.
Food everywhere here too. Doesn’t help we also have to eat the rosca de reyes too.
Interestingly, the only new game I bough this holiday season was Luigi’s Mansion 2, to complete the collection. Not exactly a new game. I was about to get the Witcher 3 for switch but the Walmart employee never walked by and I’m not gonna go search for one. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
My search for the switch lite flip cover was an absolute failure since none of the GameStops, Targets, and Walmarts I visited had it on stock. Thankfully, it now has a listing on Amazon Mexico, but it’s still not available for purchase. I’m afraid the “I have dollars and I MUST waste them” fever is over now that I’m back in Mexico, so I may not be so happy with the price once that shows up on the site.
That said, I still have those 50 dollars I was saving for the flip cover burning a hole in my backpack. Sadly, they will remain out of circulation for about a year.
@ThanosReXXX That's a great example tbh, especially considering that I'm from a relatively rural part of America.
Good, saves me to have to come up with other metaphorical examples, such as a rowing boat in a swimming pool vs in an ocean, or a big steak on a little plate vs a big plate etc....
As for the crafting bit: if anything, I hope that you'll have the same experience as me. I've never really been into crafting either, and yet BotW managed to use just that, to rob me of almost an entire day, without me once being annoyed or frustrated about it. And crafting may not be the right word, since all you'll be crafting, is foods/recipes. The weapons come as is, and can only be sorted in an inventory, because most of them only have limited usage, so the average rusty sword will break down after a couple of fights, and so on.
@bimmy-lee Thanks. I'm doing my damnedest trying to achieve just that, so we'll see where that gets me...
P.S.
You're STILL on holiday? Lucky you...
@Heavyarms55 I can largely relate to your frustration about button-less appliances and things. And yet, on the other hand, one of those fancy kitchen taps with a sensor, so that you don't have to try and twist the knob with your greasy or dirty hands is still something that I'm quite interested in...
@Eel Ah, being forced to eat three kings' bread. What a horrible position to be in...
@1UP_MARIO You should post that comment on that specific page, so the people giving them away will know, as well as other people trying the same code.
(and you might want to give a little thanks to the developers as well, seeing as they're doing the actual giving. I was just drawing people's attention to it)
@Anti-Matter it's for a game that you won't like...
@ThanosReXXX I can see the idea with the kitchen thing, that actually does have a benefit over other traditional methods. On the other hand, I feel like if they are as ineffective as the ones I've used already, then I might end up getting them more dirty by hitting it repeatedly until it actually works.

@NotTelevision You're welcome, and it's like @1UP_MARIO said. Just log in to your Nintendo account on your PC or smart device, and redeem the code. You will then be able to download it once you've got a Switch.

@Heavyarms55 Well, the ones I've seen are simply "hold hand or arm in front of tap to activate" or "lightly touch neck of tap", so in theory, that should work. They always do in demonstrations, but I can understand that it might not always go as flawlessly in every day situations. Still handy, though.
And it just dawned on me that it doesn't even have to be because of dirty/greasy hands: it could also be used when you've got your hands full, like for example with plates and such, in which case you won't be able to turn a knob either, so only having to "tap the tap" with your wrist or something, might really come in handy, in cases like these.

@ThanosReXXX I suppose it's better in that case. It occurs to me that every home I've lived in has used the lever type of sink where you just push it up and left or right for hot or cold. I always just pushed it with my elbow if my hands were full or dirty. But I've seen plenty of knob style sinks in public restrooms and such.

I think I'm gonna play the Ape Escape games.
What do you guys think is the best version of 1? The PSX original or On the Loose for PSP?
