anyone else surprised that students are allowed to give presents to teachers, especially of that value? it definitely wasn't allowed in my school. it could lead to preferential treatment of certain students (or in this case an entire class) over others. no individual student was allowed to gift anything to a teacher here and class gifts had to be under $20.
also I hope he's paying his taxes for it when he has to file his tax return come next year (it's a work-related income so he has to pay income tax for it)
after a couple of weeks of playing i think i'm already about done with it. lvl 33 now and there's not really any new things to do anymore. i hope they'll update it regularly.
this is actually not an official channel. she's just a hardcore box boy fan (and youtube personality) who also visited HAL (several times it appears, i've seen her doing interviews with the devs before)
@sillygostly @polarbear not true, the game has 3D. but it's the weirdest 3D i've ever seen. the menus and worlds are in decent 3D but when it comes to the minigames some have 3D and some don't. it's so weird. and the ones that have 3D don't have good 3D. I think it's mostly on one plane so it doesn't really help you with jumping on someone for example.
who knows if only switch owners buy the AC adapter? it's actually a really nice USB-C adapter (both high-powered and pretty cheap) that i use with my other USB-C devices.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE it's not free with some games. for example it costs extra for world of final fantasy and final fantasy xiii (for one of the three anyway)
@MarcelRguez i'm constantly low on storage space on my ps4. so the "massive difference" doesn't really give me anything when EVERY game (physical or digital) needs 30 - 80 GB to install. and yes, GTS in practice only works with the 20 GB patch installed. you can technically start it without the patch but you can't do anything because the game is online only.
what people don't realise is that this is also being done on the disc consoles. For example when I picked up Gran Turismo Sport which installed about 50 GB it also had a day one patch of about 20 GB so that a full install of it is 70 GB! But day one patches that are gigabytes in size really are the norm nowadays sadly anyways.

@shani
has anyone even read the blog post? the broadcast is about a singer and a voice actor and fan's experience with the game. it's not about the dlc.

Re: Feature: Yooka-Laylee Jumps Onto Switch in December - We Learn All About It
too little too late. they should've at least added a new world or something with that long of a dev time.

Re: Video: RiME Is An Example Of How Not To Port A Game To Switch
@KIREEK it already runs bad on xbox one, so the badly performing switch version is no surprise to me
Re: Review: RiME (Switch)
i'm not surprised by the performance, it already runs terribly on xbox one.
Re: Review: RiME (Switch)
@GrailUK the source material is terrible. runs really badly on xbox one too.
Re: Mario Party: The Top 100 Gets a New Festive Release Date in Europe
@sillygostly the only nintendo game with bad 3D is probably NSMB2
yes the European infographic says game in 2D while the equivalent US one doesn't. it's just a mistake on the EU one.

Re: Mario Party: The Top 100 Gets a New Festive Release Date in Europe
@LegendOfPokemon if you only say MM/DD then yes. but the full date in america MM/DD/YY makes absolutely no sense. YY/MM/DD is the right way.

Re: Capcom to Bring Increased Support and Ace Attorney to Switch in 2018
i wouldn't expect a new AA game. they will probably just port some (or all) of the mobile games.

no current console allows you to just copy save games.
Re: You Won't Be Able To Download L.A. Noire Without A MicroSD Card
@MarcelRguez well duh..if I delete stuff I can obviously install other games. that's not the point at all lol. (also i don't delete games.)
Re: You Won't Be Able To Download L.A. Noire Without A MicroSD Card
@MoonKnight7 well that's the thing with LA Noire: they went for the smaller cart but still the switch version is $10 more than the other versions.
Re: You Won't Be Able To Download L.A. Noire Without A MicroSD Card
as nintendo ramps up production on the carts we won't be talking about this in a year anymore. and the switch tax will be gone by then as well.
Re: You Won't Be Able To Download L.A. Noire Without A MicroSD Card
@MarcelRguez i'm constantly low on storage space on my ps4. so the "massive difference" doesn't really give me anything when EVERY game (physical or digital) needs 30 - 80 GB to install.
and yes, GTS in practice only works with the 20 GB patch installed. you can technically start it without the patch but you can't do anything because the game is online only.
Re: You Won't Be Able To Download L.A. Noire Without A MicroSD Card
what people don't realise is that this is also being done on the disc consoles. For example when I picked up Gran Turismo Sport which installed about 50 GB it also had a day one patch of about 20 GB so that a full install of it is 70 GB!
But day one patches that are gigabytes in size really are the norm nowadays sadly anyways.
