I agree with your point about cosmetics, and it’s probably the limitation to me picking up the game on Switch.  I only play QP and Arcade anyway, so I don’t particularly care about my SR or MMR carrying over from my PC account to my hypothetical Switch account.  However, I have every cosmetic, save the golden weapons,…

There’s a lot of bitching on r/CompetitiveOverwatch about how players who queue DPS have to deal with long queue times as well as various suggestions as to how this could be fixed in favor of the DPS players, such as they are rewarded with DPS queue priority after suffering through a round as a tank or a support, etc.…

The Overwatch League All Stars skins were approximately $10 apiece, assuming you had to buy the currency, and the Pink Mercy skin was $15 if I recall correctly (though that was charity related). $18 seems a little steep, but it’s not outrageously expensive given what competitors are charging, and the base game is free…

Can someone please tell me what the proper pronunciation of “genoise” is? Wikipedia backs me up for the American English and French pronunciation being “gen-waz,” but every time I hear anyone on Bake Off say “gen-o-ise,” it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

I’m importing the collector’s edition from Japan.  Here’s hoping it has English language support.

That font and UI looks straight out of Xenoblade Chronicles X. If I didn’t know better, I’d think Astral Chain could be its (weird) sequel.

Hundred miles into Missouri coming from Iowa headed to Arkansas? You were probably on US Route 63.  I went to school in Kirksville and those local road-highway intersections are all over the place on 63 down to Columbia.  Gotta love that local traffic.

Yeah, that one doesn’t make a lot of sense. Hubert, Edelgard, and Lysithea are the only ones who even learn any dark magic naturally, and because it’s gender locked, Edelgard and Lysithea can’t even use it. Which means you can only really use it to its maximum potential with Hubert while doing a Black Eagle path.

Ah, thanks.  The guide I’ve been using was unclear if she was exclusive to the “hidden” route or not.  Now that I know, I’ll stop worrying about her. 

Semi-related to the article at hand, my biggest complaint of the game so far as I’ve recruited nearly every Blue Lions and Golden Deer (still haven’t figured out what Leonie and Hildas’ deal are; can’t have B support with Leonie yet for whatever reason, and I’m not sure if I can even recruit Hilda) student available…

Is this actually true?  I’ve been trying to recruit Mercedes.  I’ve got her at B support already and she keeps turning me down.  My bow stat is negligible and my magic stat is 11 or 12.

I mean, they’re not wrong, but I’d say that’s more a condemnation of their own games than the Switch as a platform. What are their big moneymakers right now? The Sims 4, licensed sports games, Battlefield/Battlefront, and Apex Legends. I’d prefer to play The Sims on a PC with mouse and keyboard over any console,…

What’s the status of save data managers on Switch CFW? I modded my 3DS to run CFW and used JKSM to extract my save data for Fire Emblem Fates and the various Pokemon games. I then used FEFTwiddler or PKHex on my PC to make changes to the data. I’d like to do something similar with my Switch, but I’ve read the process…

I haven’t done it myself, I’ve just looked into it. There’s a chart that basically tells you if your Switch is susceptible to the flaw that is exploited. As far as I know, all Switches produced before a certain date are susceptible, regardless of the current firmware.  I’d recommend looking at the GBAtemp forums;…

The folks over at GBAtemp are downright paranoid about hacking their Switches.  According to them, doing anything with CFW can leave otherwise imperceptible changes in internal error reports or otherwise that Nintendo could detect and use to ban the system if you were to bring it online.  They suggest making copies of…

There is a NG+. It’s not hugely robust, but it does exist.

I realize I could just look this up, but as you’ve just played it, you probably know: are there canon final classes for each of the characters? Fates (and Awakening) usually had a single outfit for most of the characters that closely matched their character portrait or was a reference to something (Sakura gets…

Given the predilection for the Internet to complain about how the Nintendo Treehouse localizes (read: censors /s) their games, would it not just be better to advocate that anyone who has an interest in Mother 3 to download a GBA emulator, ROM, and fan translation patch? Even if Nintendo ever does get around to…

Who actually owns the Pokemon IP? 

Just saw that the entire album is available on Spotify. Wonder if any of the tracks are going to have the effect Sparkle did (i.e., blowing up on YouTube and getting public performances in Japan).
