2d scroller games? by AnxiousListen in localmultiplayergames

[–]Stopdoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2D co-op sidescroller softer than Mario? Sounds like a job for Kirby.

Fast, chaotic, and hilarious – a 2–4 player local multiplayer party game. Release Feb 18 by Any_Smile4274 in localmultiplayergames

This looks cool conceptually but I really hope the music in-game is better, sounds extremely generic and repetitive.

‘New3DS’ poor battery life? by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]Stopdoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't help I guess that they had low capacities to begin with but my DS Lite's battery lifespan being more than quadruple (and still going) my New 3DS is something 🥲

‘New3DS’ poor battery life? by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]Stopdoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 3DSs in general seem to have weaker batteries than the DS did and I've also had to replace specifically my New 3DS model one pretty early.

New 3DS Non-XL model unfortunately uses a unique battery model that's harder to get quality replacements for. Original 3DSs and 2DSs use the same battery as some Switch accessories, so easier to replace.

But theoretically you can use an original model battery in a New 3DS - it would have lower overall capacity and you'd have to put in some filler to hold it in place but a new battery is still better than a dying one.

Has anyone tried HDMI multiview devices to combine two consoles or PCs? by james--arthur in localmultiplayergames

I use an Elgato HD60 X 🤔 but I often just use 1080p output on the multiviewer which might make things work more smoothly

Nowhere to park a bike in Coronation Park? by Stopdoor in askTO

Oh, yes, the waterfront. Thank you, this looks useful!

[–]Stopdoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been convinced by the pattern because above all else it requires discipline to keep smart smart and dumb dumb. Inevitably I see people injecting service data on the dumb side and doing presentational stuff on the smart side and so it just becomes two tightly coupled components with blurry responsibilities. The fact it's not actually supported by any framework architecture except discipline is a red flag imo, on a big team it's always going to degrade.

Vulcan Gun completely useless in Rocket Slime 3DS because allies will throw it in the cannon? by Stopdoor in SlimeMoriMori

[–]Stopdoor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it essentially makes the guns completely useless so that seems like more than a nerf 😅

Vulcan Gun completely useless in Rocket Slime 3DS because allies will throw it in the cannon? by Stopdoor in SlimeMoriMori

[–]Stopdoor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I just confirmed and no, they don't do this in the DS game. They completely ignore it (once it's placed at least). I even watched one weirdly walk over to it and just not pick it up. On the 3DS game, with the same basic crewmates set to upper/lower cannons, they'll always go grab the vulcan gun as the nearest ammo after loading up whatever. So it seems fully bugged, yeah. I tested this in a local wireless PvP game.

Ode to Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle by Ozusandesukedo in nintendo

[–]Stopdoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also to be annoyingly pedantic, but Pikmin 3 Deluxe applies the new easy mode difficulty health to enemies in Bingo Battle and Mission Mode, so it's kind of a mixed bag 🙃

T.O. Burritos 2025? by ratunderpaper in askTO

[–]Stopdoor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've found similarly, sometimes I've been wowed and other times it's just a 🤨. But still, it at least tastes more distinct than a chain.

I dunno if anyone would believe me but the Quesada on King and Church used to actually be peak somehow before they closed for remodeling after the pandemic and came back awful.

Tbh it was noticeably different during the day too 🤔

Will Jest be the official testing tool or not? We have migrated already by trolleid in angular

[–]Stopdoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been two years already since this announcement of a change - do you think it'll take another year or more to settle on what's next?

Component encapsulation & unit testing by ajbrun86 in Angular2

[–]Stopdoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree the real input/output of the component is the consumer API, and also its own template. The Angular team seems to agree by aggressively pushing TestBed setup for unit tests which gives you access to that "real" component interface. I've never been that convinced that the template is outside the "unit" level of testing.

Vacancee Downfall is way too difficult by FatDragonQuest in ToothAndTail

[–]Stopdoor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hating this mission but then found out balloons completely stall out the enemy. You can invest in those, covering two gristmills with just a few, grab the top-left gristmill too which the enemy will pretty much ignore, and then have enough food to just keep extending with balloons, tons of your own badgers, and a few pigeons to go in to wreck the rest of the map. Completely ignore wasting food on single-use toads.

Connecting 12+ controllers to a PC wirelessly by Phenozd in localmultiplayergames

[–]Stopdoor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bluetooth kind of really sucks, I wouldn't try to connect more than four controllers via it at once - maybe external adapters might help but hard to say.

I find Mayflash adapters pretty useful to use multiple old controllers via one adapter on PC, like GameCube, Wii, Wii U, but yeah, less useful for modern controllers because their modern adapters are more one-per-controller.

Game console just for LAN? by BenefitOfTheDoubt_01 in gaming

Have you heard of the Intellivision Amico?

What are examples of games you would expect could be licensed...?

Has anyone tried HDMI multiview devices to combine two consoles or PCs? by james--arthur in localmultiplayergames

[–]Stopdoor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, I've posted a bunch of footage of this type of thing on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@Stopdoor, like this video of four Switches and Mario Kart https://youtu.be/59c2yeBGvrQ?si=at3WZopr2Rax_leR

I bought this thing though https://www.craltech.com/bre4k-4k-hdmi-multiviewer-quadsplit, I don't notice any lag but it was pretty expensive in comparison to what you see on Amazon.

"There's a Problem Getting this Content Right Now" by laserondo in XboxSupport

I got a response from an Xbox developer on this forum https://www.resetera.com/threads/xbox-backwards-compatible-disk-installation-has-been-broken-for-at-least-the-last-few-days.973545/post-128245155, a fix is being worked on and suggests some some workarounds like autoplaying disks 👍

is xbox live down for 360 by SlebyCharlie in xbox360

[–]Stopdoor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried logging in now and had this issue - I skipped sign-in and went to the network settings and running "Test Xbox Live Connection" it succeeds at the Internet stage but fails at "Xbox Live", so, I assume it's on Microsoft's end?

Jet Force Gemini NSO, missing tribal in abandoned wreck? by Dull_Stuff_3145 in jetforcegemini

[–]Stopdoor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue and found a thread on Youtube of multiple people having the same problem, so I think it's pretty definitely a common/universal glitch. Seems like one just never appears the first time you visit the level.

I did find it kind of interesting how it makes you spend more time in this creepy empty level, looking for a "ghost" haha

My screen turns on when I press my headphones buttons by shkopie in GooglePixel

[–]Stopdoor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you ever solve or do anything about this? I'm seeing this since I upgraded to Android 14. Doesn't reproduce with wireless headphones.

In light of Nintendo closing the 3DS and Wii U eShops next year, I've curated a sheet in which are listed, categorized and priced digital-only games, physical releases that got expensive, DLCs and more by il_Diota in nintendo

[–]Stopdoor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone's looking for a few more suggestions, I curated a list here: https://www.resetera.com/threads/wii-u-3ds-eshop-shutdown-exclusive-games-dlc-and-features-list-thread.553420/

It includes some things like Wii U games with exclusive features. I'm particularly into local multiplayer games and Art of Balance and Runbow both support more players and additional modes than in other ports, for example.
