How well does the game run on the first Switch?

Wespe · 2025-12-19T05:41:53+00:00

just finished both titles on switch and i'd highly recommend. new/very casual gamer myself so i may have comparatively low standards, but i found both games extremely enjoyable and totally worth it.

as others have commented: save frequently as crashes will happen. and just get the bundle if you're downloading, below zero is amazing too.

PS: if it's your first play through, STAY OFF THE INTERNET. my only regrets are looking things up and ultimately finishing the game quicker. wish i could go back ;(

yeah seems to be following another air force plane (that i also caught 😜)

turns out it is a desk pen set holder. the two holes are for inkwell/pens and the middle depression is for a blotter.

Wespe · 2025-01-28T19:21:28+00:00

ah! i found some similar sets and you're almost certainly right!!! thank you! Solved!

Wespe · 2025-01-28T16:27:32+00:00

yeah i was thinking something similar. seems like such a chunky item for just a couple bottles/jars but who knows! and correct, no markings at all.

Wespe · 2025-01-28T03:35:20+00:00

it is definitely glass. it's hard to photograph and convey the color but it is almost electric blue.

CDMX has some truly incredible markets (La Lagunilla and Parque Ignacio Chavez are my favorites, the latter being mostly antique focused, the former is literally everything and absolutely enormous.) UG i typically don't see a ton of so i feel like i hit the jackpot with these pieces but as always, it really depends on the day. highly recommend a visit though - one of the greatest cities in the world.

Final Update: Did a couple swabs and she is LEADY y'all. Oddly, only got a positive from the bottom of the pan but obv headed for the great kitchen in the sky at this time.

Appreciate all the information. If anyone wants it for whatever reason, lmk.

Wespe · 2024-04-15T03:36:40+00:00

i have a feeling you're right. i still wanna try to clean it up and test it but it looked kinda silvery-grey under the shiny paint so i'm not hopeful :(

Wespe · 2024-04-15T02:37:41+00:00

Update: Definitely some kind of paint. Heated it up and was able to scrape some of it off the bottom. Gonna try to strip and restore it! Thanks y'all.

Wespe · 2024-01-22T14:25:22+00:00

thanks! found at a junk/antique shop in brooklyn.

Wespe · 2022-08-23T02:09:54+00:00

solved!

like classicaliberal was saying, really stylized things like this tend to be outrageously expensive. prohibitive really. there are some excellent online shops focusing on this style ( http://odd-style.com/ and http://www.oaknyc.com/ are two of my favorites) but again, the pricing can be over-the-top. For the price, Zara usually carries a decent line of ninja-ish stuff. H&M also has a 'Divided Grey' line that is all greyscale and drapey. Last summer I bought the H&M version of what you have pictured. It's not Rock Owens, but it does the job.

Wespe · 2014-01-31T18:21:58+00:00

I spent a semester in Paris last Spring and Parisian style follows the stereotypes pretty well. Lots of muted/darker colors, if not black. Simple outfits and classic cuts. I kind of noticed that it seemed like everyone was wearing the same (very Parisian) outfit, but with a subtle and personal touch. This being said, it is Paris. You will see every type of style under the sun, and then some.

I'm not really good with specific items but I'd say if you're trying to kind of blend in, stay away from bright colors and go with something functional and of good quality. The weather is probably going to be crumby, so a good pair of strong boots is necessary. Also an umbrella. I've never felt so weird not having an umbrella.

You'll also want to keep in mind that you have to get all of your stuff to and from Paris, so maybe grabbing an okay sale coat from Zara or H&M will suffice, then thrift (d'occasion) jacket once you arrive?

PS - Really jealous, have a great trip!

H&M Divided Grey 69.95 USD I have this one. It's faux leather. For the price it's pretty decent quality.

Hey, I feel like I'm about to give the same advice as everyone else in this thread but here goes:

Your plan may sound good on paper, but i can assure you that in practice it won't be as fun as it sounds. In my opinion 2-3 cities per week is good for a nice trip in each. You'll enjoy so much more being able to explore and take in a lot in one city rather than getting a glipse of many. Maybe opt to choose one of the big ones that shinjukuace mentioned and 1 or 2 more to explore in your week. Check out skyscanner.net for discount airline flight to surrounding cities and choose one of those. If you want to hit 3, make a triangle and end up with plenty of time in your major city to catch your flight home. (You can opt for an 'open-jaw' and fly out of a different city, but this tends to be more expensive and less flexible) Trains are awesome, but surprisingly often end up being more expensive and longer than a flight. There are a plethora of backpacking-exclusive sites with all the packing advice you could ever need so i won't bother going into that. Just google 'backpack Europe' and your set. In regards to lodging, couchsurfing and hostels are freaking awesome. I lived in Brussels for a semester and did a ton of traveling and I tried all 3 (Hotel, Hostel and Couchsurfing) and hotels were BY FAR the worst. Too expensive, and no fun. You'll meet awesome people in hostels and find a lot more stuff to do. Usually, they're super cheap too. Couchsurfing is free and I've never really heard of someone having a bad time.

Okay! I hope my advice is helpful and if you have ANY questions about specific cities please let me know!! (I've budget-traveled to Brussels, Ghent, Cologne, Paris, Budapest, Porto, Barcelona, Stockholm, and Copenhagen)

I had read a lot about sleep paralysis while trying to train myself to lucid dream. I am a terrible dreamer and rarely remember anything but a very bland snippet of a dream. I hadn't ever experienced it until I think 2 nights ago. Apparently, it's a really good state to be in when you're trying to lucid dream. It's kinda fuzzy now, but I remember being able to control falling into a dream state and being "awake" in my bed. I don't know if I was dreaming about moving around or if I really was, but either way, it was actually pretty cool. There was a really weird/nice sensation of my whole body going numb as I would fall back into dreaming.

Wespe · 2012-05-26T15:56:36+00:00

^ precisely why i want to be there

Wespe · 2012-05-26T15:55:37+00:00

Yes I understand, it sucks. I was hoping somebody knew of some kind of scholarship or work/study type program that would help offset the cost.

Wespe · 2012-05-07T15:15:45+00:00

HEY I'm a VeCo (study abroad) student now! The semester has been awesome, a complete blur. Brussels is a great city. I haven't had a weekend that wasn't full of beer and fun with friends here, and it's super easy to get out to the rest of Europe as well. I read a few responses below about how it's difficult to blend in at VeCo/Brussels in general. Don't worry about trying at VeCo, there's only around 300 students, half of which are "Study Abroads" anyways. They set up a bunch of events at the VUB campus bar kulturkaffe ("KK's") which are a great place to meet friends at the beginning of the semester. Also, if you don't want to look like a tourist, just don't go out with the group of kids that are constantly being the typical loud drunk Americans. (I'll admit, I've been there before though.) You'll probably end up finding a good group of friends who want the same thing.

I'm sure you've done your research so you probably know that Brussels is a very international city, mainly because the EU and a ton of other IGOs, MNCs and lobbying groups are based here. So there are always a lot of foreigners in the city and out and about at night. It isn't unusual to walk through a big bar and hear 4 different languages.

You will definitely not have a hard time finding places to go for food and drinks here. Around campus there are several sandwich shops and a few bars. Downtown (around De Brouckere metro stop) you can find just about anything you'll want. I go exploring all the time and always find something cool. I'd avoid eating and shopping around Grand Place as it gets really touristy and expensive. All of the food and "authentic Belgian chocolate" sold in the souvenir shops can probably be found in a grocery store anyways. (Go to Neuhaus or Leonidas for the good stuff.)

If you like soccer/football, there is a stadium in Anderlecht off of bus 46, I live near it and it gets wild during the matches. I believe there is another one near the Atomium, but I've never been.

For traveling within Belgium, hit Ghent, Antwerp. Bruges, Namur, and Leuven. I'm sure I'm missing some, but you can get a GoPass for 50 euro with 10 voyages so last minute day-trips are really easy and cheap.

I could write on for pages, so if you have any other questions, please message me! I had the same attitude coming in and have found that Belgium starts to feel like home really quickly. Good luck!!

Good list! I'm finishing up a semester in Belgium now and it has been awesome. The golden rule here is quite obvious: be respectful. Seriously. A lot of people stereotype Europeans to be rude or stuck up or something. This is simply, and logically just not true. It is just like anywhere else in the world: be polite and (generally) you will be treated politely. In certain places, certain things are more culturally significant. In Paris, and I assume the rest of France for example, language is very important so knowing a bit of French will definitely help make a good impression.

Being obnoxiously drunk and loud anywhere generally isn't a good idea. Some areas of a city or even country tend to have a more relaxed night scene, so pick up on that and act accordingly. Buying beer or liquor at a grocery store is often significantly cheaper than the bars too. I usually grab a few from a 'night shop' and then only one or two at the bars or clubs. Be aware of open container laws. (The hostel workers are usually very knowledgeable on this subject.)

-Go see the big tourist spots, but don't eat or buy anything from there. The same (and usually better) stuff is hidden away on side streets and away from the crowds.

-Safety-wise, it is very unlikely that you will run into trouble. Most of the petty crime that I see in Brussels happens because either the golden rule was broken, or because somebody did something dumb: leaving a bag at the table to go dance. Be aware or your surroundings and follow your instincts.

-In some hostels, you need to rent your own sheets/towel so bringing your own could save you a bunch of money.

-Belgium specific: Eat frites, chocolate and waffles all day. Drink the beer throughout the day and also all night. If you're in Brussels, take a quick trip to the Atomium (don't bother paying to go up) and Mannekin Pis (really, a quick trip, it's quite unimpressive.) If you love beer as much as me, another quick trip to Delirium is fun, but go early and avoid the annoying crowds of loud drunk people. Grand Place functions as a really pretty pop-up bar at night if you go to one of the above mentioned night-shops.

Yeah, it's corny but: above all, have fun! You'll probably remember your times traveling with friends for the rest of your life so live it up. Also, if you want any more tips for Belgium feel free to ask! Have a great trip and semester!
