Yep, had that happen pretty early on to a Switch Lite. Then had it happen to a launch model Switch like last year.

For both of them, the recalibration ended up working, but Iโ€™m pretty sure I had to do it at least two or three times on one of them for it to take.

All look great! I prefer the 3 with smiles, and within those, I think the outdoor shot looks the best โ€” the background is less busy, and you stand out better.

Yeesh. Good call to fix. Odd for only one of them to be so weird.

Quite the presentation! Looks amazing.

Donkey Kong Bananza, itโ€™s pretty close! I think Iโ€™m less than halfway through and there are a bunch of really clever, fun surprises.

Iโ€™m interested, if not too late!

Congratulations, Crystal! How exciting!

Same boat as you, no tracking number yet. Mine is newly โ€œPreparing to Shipโ€ and shows estimated delivery date of June 11, ugh. Hope it ends up being much sooner.

Celeste does this, and I think it looks pretty nice. Game itself is chunky pixels, font is comparatively pretty high res.

Try again! I had it in cart, tried to confirm order, and it failed. Then tried to confirm order a 2nd time and it went through.

Shipping was only $13-ish for me. I'm in the Midwest. Perhaps it varies by shipping destination?

I recommend the Hario Immersion Dripper. It can be used as a pour over, but there's a switch that will let the coffee steep w filter instead of dripping through. Kinda like a French press + paper filter, but easier to use. www.hario-usa.com/products/swi... Sold out there, but available on Amazon.

I recommend @crystalylee.com! She voiced a lead character in my latest game, did a fantastic job. Crystal, if youโ€™ve got the bandwidth this could be cool!

You could use similar approach if your 4-key groups have identical layout.

Many Nintendo Switch games handle similar issue in a graceful way. The ABXY buttons (when using both joycons etc) are automapped to different / rotated set of 4 buttons if using a single rotated joycon. So, the button icon always shows the group of 4 buttons with the right one highlighted.

Thanks, I hate it.

(clever though, well done!)

@austinkleon.bsky.social Hey Austin, did you know Kraftwerk is touring next year? I saw that and thought of your old tweets about your son being a fan. Friendly FYI in case he still is. Looks like presales start tomorrow (er technically today since past midnight)

11.12.2024 07:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Ugh, tricky, since so many games have been teaching us to hold toward wall to stick. Maybe some sort of visual affordance (like a glue blob) would help, to reinforce that the sticking will keep happening automatically?

Those all look great, but that chunky Metroid is particularly outstanding. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘

Yep! Canโ€™t speak to this game, but I absolutely bought Major Magnet way back in the day because of your soundtrack :)

This is a really nice tribute, Nob. Sad and happy, and beautifully told. Sounds to me like you were a good partner and did right by Takako when things got tough. I wish you well as you move forward onto your next chapter.

Sounds like a plan, then! Looking forward to see what you come up with!

Adding something I havenโ€™t seen mentioned so farโ€ฆ if you separate the drippings into the fat part vs broth part (can buy a cheap fat separator measuring cup thing), you can use that separated fat instead of butter (1 tbsp of each is equivalent), also can add butter if needed.

12.07.2024 02:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yep, same here. Started in the GBA days myself.
