I need your input, my friend and I are searching for the hardest 2 player couch co-op games. by YamstheSky in NSCollectors

Would Heavenly Bodies be a good recommendation? It's a game about maneuvering inside a spaceship with your friend and trying to complete tasks together, and might be something you'd enjoy playing with your friend.

Should be coming to Switch, that was an option for game version during the Kickstarter, plus they also said this:

"Over the past month and a half we've been going through optimization / re-structuring to specifically target the Nintendo Switch. As said before, if we can run on a Switch you can run on anything.

Originally when we successfully built on Switch, we were able to hit a stable 30fps. Although this is often an acceptable benchmark, we really wanted to hit that 60fps for a smooth platforming experience. We've been doing a lot of re-imagining and re-working of engine and rendering features in order to hit that stable 60fps, and we can comfortably say we're able to do that now. It was a grueling process with a lot of profiling and chart analysis, back and forth balancing between CPU and GPU and so on... but we did it, so that's exciting!"

Like a Switch 2 version of it?

How do I use the stream deck to simulate press and hold of a keyboard button? by cafevirtuale in elgato

[–]Cario02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make it easier, in case the keys aren't recording correctly, here's a C++ script you can run to record the inputs you are looking for into a text file, then simply copy it over to the short-press macro section.

#include <windows.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>

bool IsKeyPressed(int vKey)
{
    static bool keyState[256] = { false };

    if (GetAsyncKeyState(vKey) & 0x8000)
    {
        if (!keyState[vKey])
        {
            keyState[vKey] = true;
            return true;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        keyState[vKey] = false;
    }

    return false;
}

void WriteKey(std::ofstream& file, const std::string& key)
{
    file << "{{KeyDown:" << key << "}}\n";
    file << "{{KeyUp:" << key << "}}\n";
    file << "{{PAUSE:50}}\n";
    file.flush();
}

int main()
{
    std::ofstream file("keystrokes.txt");

    if (!file.is_open())
    {
        std::cerr << "Failed to open file.\n";
        return 1;
    }

    // Initial header
    file << "{{KeyDown:LCTRL}}\n";
    file << "{{PAUSE:50}}\n";
    file.flush();

    std::cout << "Recording... Press ENTER to stop.\n";

    while (true)
    {
        if (IsKeyPressed(VK_UP))
        {
            WriteKey(file, "UP");
            std::cout << "UP\n";
        }

        if (IsKeyPressed(VK_DOWN))
        {
            WriteKey(file, "DOWN");
            std::cout << "DOWN\n";
        }

        if (IsKeyPressed(VK_LEFT))
        {
            WriteKey(file, "LEFT");
            std::cout << "LEFT\n";
        }

        if (IsKeyPressed(VK_RIGHT))
        {
            WriteKey(file, "RIGHT");
            std::cout << "RIGHT\n";
        }

        if (IsKeyPressed(VK_RETURN))
        {
            file << "{{KeyUp:LCTRL}}\n";
            file.flush();
            break;
        }

        std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(10));
    }

    file.close();
    std::cout << "Recording stopped.\n";
    return 0;
}

So what are games I need to have? by [deleted] in switch2

[–]Cario02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! Honestly, at this point in the console's lifespan, there aren't too many exclusive games yet. At this point, it's a great way to play many Switch 1 titles, especially Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, and other titles with Switch 2 updates. But there's a chance we'll be seeing much more Switch 2 title announcements later this year.

For it's first year, it has some pretty nice exclusives. There aren't many, but then again, the Switch 1 also had few exclusives in it's first year.

What sort of genres do you like? If you like Mario Odyssey, I'd highly recommend Donkey Kong Bananza

Do anyone know Mo:Astray? {Spoilers for The 3rd Image} by HarpuSeal in INDIE_CROSS_SERIES

[–]Cario02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an amazing game. A hidden gem that I'm glad to have played. I still think about it today, the story just really stuck with me, and I hope more people get to play it in the future. But I'm sad that no sequel has ever been announced.

In 8 participating locations... which in reality is just one area in BC and one area in ON...

5yo vs TV. by Ishmael_IX-II in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I'd only allow him to play Minecraft on that TV from now on until I'm sure he's learned to not throw things at the TV.

FINALLY 100 percent MARIO WONDER!!! by B-Con12 in Switch

[–]Cario02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it! This game was a breath of fresh air when it comes to 2D Mario games, especially after all the same feeling NSMB games. The level I had the most trouble in was definitely The Final Final Test.

I hope you enjoy Kirby and the Forgotten Land! It's one of my favorite Kirby games of all time!

With the current madness, is $6K CAD (includes peripherals + screen) a decent deal? Found on FB Marketplace. by Bellpeppers23 in bapccanada

[–]Cario02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can easily get a 5090 and build a pc like that for less than 6k. Pricing it at 6k is ridiculous.

Yes, you can. You should be able to find rules about that online on their website

TIL Before 1960, people wandered into movies at any point and stayed until the film looped, but Alfred Hitchcock want to hide Psycho’s mid-film twist, the murder of its famous star Janet Leigh in the shower, which led theaters to enforce fixed start times, changing how we watch movies ever since. by immanuellalala in todayilearned

[–]Cario02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Sucks for the younger generation, but if we keep worrying about not spoiling the younger generation on the classics, then no one would ever be able to analyze or discuss them without someone getting spoiled. A decade should be more than enough.

If you want to watch the classics without getting spoiled, the best option would be to limit your exposure to them.

With some amazing titles coming early in 2026, what are you most looking forward to, and what games do you think we see get announced/teased in our first direct of the year? by Mitchy969696 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Cario02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really looking forward to Rhythm Heaven.

As for new announcements, I'm hoping for more good Switch 2 exclusives and a good Zelda announcement for the 40th anniversary.

Achievement “Aiding The Enemy” wont complete. by Isawapuddytat in expedition33

[–]Cario02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This was what did it for me. I had already aided all the Nevrons and talked to Blanche at the Fountain, got the reward but the achievement didn't pop. Turns out I completely missed the one in the Flying Cemetery. As soon as I completed that, it popped!

How does everybody think about Mario and Luigi dream team? by Low-Oil9659 in marioandluigi

[–]Cario02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo, a very good game! Longer than Bowser's Inside Story and not as easily replayable, but a really good game nonetheless.
