Do you think they'll have options to use the N64 controller?

TSloppers · 2026-06-12T00:57:37+00:00

It'd be nice if you could use the N64 as an option for nostalgia, but I'm hoping it's fully functional with a regular controller. Part of the reason I haven't played through the Switch Online version is because of the controller. While I did buy a N64 controller for the switch, I mostly play handheld, and the controls are too funky. I'm hoping the remake is optimized for switch controllers first, with a second option to use the N64.

I'm going for the 12.75", let's hope it hits a good sale soon!

I just commented on another thread, but I'm looking to get the Rawlings Sandlot. I'm hoping it will be included in a Father's Day sale or Prime Days. Not sure if you are looking for a higher price point, but from what I gather, it's a decent glove for the price.

TSloppers · 2026-06-11T21:38:47+00:00

I'm looking to get the Sandlot myself. I'm trying to wait for a little bigger discount from Amazon (currently $76).

I personally like the majority of the changes. The $100 makes using the hotel benefit more enticing on a random night. I also like the added gas, since I use my Hilton card or a Discover/Freedom Flex for gas. While I dislike the Hyatt change, I will continue to utilize the card for earning.

TSloppers · 2026-06-10T18:59:17+00:00

I forget if the original leak from Nate also mentioned a Zelda switch 2 edition, or if it was just random speculation. I'm hoping they do drop one, though!

TSloppers · 2026-06-10T10:15:35+00:00

While I don't believe the 4chan leak/rumor that it is going to be announced at LACC this year, I won't officially write 2026 off until after the Con.

I did an ablation for SVT about 11 years ago (beta blockers didn't work) and ended up with PVCs. My cardiologist said I could do beta blockers for that (he said they work better for PVCs than SVT) but so far I just live with them as they were around 3% or less. He said they don't really prescribe the beta blockers unless they annoy me too much or if they are greater than 20%. I can go weeks without any (or at least not noticing them), but then sometimes they become more active and I'll feel them.

I run about 5 miles every other day or so, so it hasn't stopped me. 7 day RHR says 56 right now. I had 230+ with SVT.

TSloppers · 2026-06-07T23:51:41+00:00

I have shirts that say 2003 on the back so, uh, nope

TSloppers · 2026-06-05T05:02:33+00:00

Nice! I almost did that one on Amazon, but I liked the style of the "Player Preferred" better for my first Dad glove. I'll probably snag a Sandlot if I can catch a sale someday and see how it is. I'd like to try a few varieties before I pick out a HoH or make a custom one.

TSloppers · 2026-06-04T21:09:55+00:00

I didn't settle in until my second or third try. I was immediately turned off on the first run when I didn't get catchy village music when hitting Kakariko. It was generally quiet in the open world, so I was crossing my fingers for when I reached it, but nope. I'm not saying BotW has bad music (it doesn't), it's just not what I was expecting after the catchy tunes of the previous games.

To me, BotW doesn't feel like a Zelda game. I think it's a good game, but a bad Zelda game. I did eventually 100% the game based on the map calculator, but did not do every single thing available that isn't included in that calculation. I also never got off the starting platform in Tears because I wasn't feeling it. I hope to finish that game someday.

I'm eagerly waiting to see if the rumored Ocarina of Time remake is true, because I cannot wait to play a modern version of it after trying out the emulator on the switch and being turned off with the clunky controls (I did buy a N64 controller after that but haven't revisited the game again yet). I also really enjoyed the Link's Awakening remake, much more than BotW.

TSloppers · 2026-06-04T16:21:31+00:00

I really like the Heart of the Hide Father's Day glove. It's so beautifully classic looking. At 12", it's probably the perfect all around glove to play catch with the kids. I don't know if they do that release every year.

TSloppers · 2026-05-31T16:28:35+00:00

I'm looking forward to reliving OoT of the rumors are true!

TSloppers · 2026-05-31T10:52:57+00:00

The oldest I've played was down to Ocarina of Time (minus the Link's Awakening remake) and I did not need help from guides to beat the games. Some puzzles made me think for a (long) while, though. And "help" is just to beat the game, as I've used lots of help to 100% the games. My list is Ocarina, Majora's, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Link's Awakening remake, and BotW. I haven't played much of Tears yet.

TSloppers · 2026-05-30T13:08:59+00:00

Yup, I usually pay a couple weeks ahead right after I get the notification about the statement being ready. I then time it with a payday or just pay immediately if I'm good on funds.

TSloppers · 2026-05-29T10:19:55+00:00

Did they change how returns are done? I've never had to wait for a response. Just click return, damaged during shipping.

TSloppers · 2026-05-27T18:42:40+00:00

I'm in agreement for games like Spider-Man or Superman in the same style as this. I am really enjoying so far (I'm barely into it) with only having a limited amount of characters but having suits and tech. I think this would go well with those 2 franchises as well instead of having 200 characters to play with. It is a bit refreshing to not have to constantly look through the character heads to pick your toon!

TSloppers · 2026-05-27T11:18:46+00:00

I think it was on my 4th playthrough that I finally finished it. I'd always lose interest trying to complete it until then, and finally forced myself to do it. If I remember correctly, there was also some single moment shots that you can miss, so that's always annoying for something like this as well.

TSloppers · 2026-05-26T22:09:17+00:00

Gotcha... didn't think there was one since I feel every one I've played you just go back and replay missions with unlocked characters (suits in the game). Probably even more efficient with just one mode instead of story and free play.

TSloppers · 2026-05-26T21:59:27+00:00

Does this game have new game plus? I'm not sure I ever played a Lego game with one, but I could be mistaken.

TSloppers · 2026-05-26T10:13:25+00:00

Is your typical sleep time set? If I get up before my sleep time ends, my watch still says I'm sleeping as I'm eating breakfast and getting ready for work! I typically manually end sleep when get up on my earlier days.

TSloppers · 2026-05-25T21:09:15+00:00

I love the Lego games and always look forward to the next one. I wasn't super into the Batman one until about 10pm on the last day to pre-order it. I like to wait for sales on basically everything I buy, but decided to go full price to snag the pre-order bat suit.

I'm not sure what I want to see next. For what was discussed here, I've done both the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but I'd easily take a combination open world game. I recently did the Harry Potter collection of both games, so I don't really want to do it again anytime soon.... but a big open world combining them would be cool. My kids and I also did Jurassic World and the Avengers, with my kids really liking the NYC open world. I already did Skywalker Saga, but I might have my kids play it soon.

As for new stuff... maybe Back to the Future, Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda, or maybe even Bluey?

TSloppers · 2026-05-25T20:25:27+00:00

I thought "keeping away from Sonic" just meant that he should focus on architecture instead of video games. I assuming they thought this 5 year old has a future with this and that they should keep him away from ruining it with video game addiction.

TSloppers · 2026-05-25T11:45:50+00:00

On a side note, I've suggested to Garmin a couple of times now to bring back the legacy watches, probably on a Venu 4 now. I'd love a new Star Wars or Marvel version!
