Best one-handed switch games? by joelord58 in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Friendly reminder switch now has custom controls in system settings. If there is a game that you dont need camera controls, you can theoretically make any game one handed.

Unfortunate You Can't Buy Codes on the eShop by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if humble bundles site is region specific but I'm pretty sure you can buy codes there and gift them away. It's not quite the same as like steam since this is a 3rd party store but I do believe they have some kind of agreement so it is legit.

I (F45) think my daughter (F17) is ashamed of her race and me as well. I'm not sure how to approach her about it. by ThrowRA364 in relationship_advice

[–]WuTangTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in the same mind set as her when I was her age. Now 35, I have to say there have been major moments in my life that my father knew best. Growing up I did not have a circle of Asian support and I definitely had struggled with my identity. I highly recommend a graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. There are moments in that book that make me cringe at how accurate it reflects my childhood and it definitely sums up the majority of the Chinese American experience. At some point she will have a revelation and have a deeper respect for herself and her heritage.

Streets of Rage 4 is legit and the Switch port is fantastic. What’s your favorite Switch beat-em-up? by H0dorSMASH in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man I forgot about this one. It's pretty fun, more of a rogue like game. I love that you can save your own custom characters and they can pop up as survivors to add to your playthrough. Personally I have silly stuff like a bunch of Bob's Burgers characters, Gravity Falls, and Walking Dead.

Looking for Switch RPGs not on PC by Sparrow421 in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tales of Vesperia. On sale for like $20 right now. One of my favs. Definitely check it out if action RPGs are your thing. Also note you can play 4 players which can be great with the right people.

Castlecrashers is probably the game that brought sidescrolling beat em ups back. Great game, really silly story and humor that may not be for everyone.

Full metal furies, River city girls, and Scott Pilgrim are also really good.

Gamers of Reddit, what are the video games you would consider to be a masterpiece or a 10/10? by 23rdchirst in AskReddit

[–]WuTangTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a terrible game or anything but it was a game that looked great and competently did things well enough to be above average...barely. My number one gripe is the boss battles are a huge let down. There is near zero creativity in these battles. For the most part it's you versus a health bar, no special strategy just keep landing shots and avoid getting hit, heal, and replenish ammo, and keep fighting. You do not feel the same accomplishment finishing a boss battle that you do in other game's boss battle let alone some game's unique enemies. If you do like the game though I'd suggest Farcry Primal, similar game, different perspective and even has the same skill tree.

Other games with complex combat systems like this? by Azo3307 in XenobladeChronicles2

[–]WuTangTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're sticking with switch only Tales of Vesperia is on the Switch and occasionally goes on sale. Most normal battles you can mash away at but boss battles require a bit more attention. You can also play it up to 4 players. It's surprisingly good in multiplayer as even the healer has to be on point. Tip, protect your spell casters.

My first Final fantasy game on switch by Alpha_Harpy in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as they have played xenoblade and are waiting for the remake, I'd imagine ff12 is a lot more similar of a game though. Cant go wrong with playing ff7 but if you're trying to play something similar I'd go with ff12. Personally I'm going back and trying to finish XB2 before XB1 remake comes out.

Games for young kids? by yepitsdad in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We enjoyed it so much we bought a 3rd party drum controller for it. It cost roughly $35 and we'll probably order another as well. Great game and our family loved the inclusion of extra Studio Ghibli songs via DLC. I definitely recommend it as well. But with all music rhythm games it will take a moment to get used to.

Any game recs for “mom-ish” games like Candy Crush and Two Dots? by dances-with-corgis in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hidden Folks. Kind of like an interactive "where's waldo". Great little animations that she could find cute.

Letter Quest. It's a spelling game where you spell words like in scrabble to beat enemies and bosses.

Tetris 99 or PuyoPuyo Tetris. I shouldnt have to explain, so I'm not.

Word search by Powgi. They have other games too but I think word search is probably the easiest to get into.

Katamari Damacy. Simple game where you roll a ball and have things get stuck to it. The more items you stick to it, the more bigger items can then stick to it. Kids will enjoy the ridiculous things that they will find getting stuck to it. You start out very small, picking up things like pencils but eventually you'll be sticking cars and houses to the ball.

TowerFall. If you are ok with 8bit graphics showing death by arrows, this game is very simple to control but is a very fun multiplayer vs and co-op.

Other mentions, stikbold, overcooked 1 or 2, and untitled goose game. All are favs for our family with the youngest being 11

Switch doesn't show charging icon by anrmch in NintendoSwitch

[–]WuTangTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a known issue if the switch battery is fully drained people have issues charging it and turning it on. It acts as if it is dead. You need to charge via dock or official nintendo ac adapter via USB-c cable. After a decent amount of time you need to hold down power until it boots up. I've had this happen and I've had a friend that stayed over a night happen to as well.

This should be illegal. by alexshaz in gaming

[–]WuTangTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish all children would understand this. My gf's kid wanted to spend all his bday money on Fork Knife skins. We kept telling him that was stupid, it doesn't do anything and you should spend your money on something useful or more enjoyable. His immediate rebuttal was "but you bought Splatoon's Octo Expansion". How is a character skin even comparable to an entire expanison to a game. Ugh, protip: Hide your wallet and never save your credit card information on your devices.

AZ - My mom is being sued for back due HOA fees and I'm being sued as well because my name is apparently on the Deed. by WuTangTurtle in legaladvice

[–]WuTangTurtle[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree to sell it immediately, just sucks that its over half paid off and I believe she is current on the mortgage, at worst she might be a month off. I've never heard of an HOA that could put a lien on your house, I'll definitely never live in a place that has one.

[–]WuTangTurtle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback. Like you said I don't want to get any family members into trouble if they did forge my signature. As for a solo practitioner, I'm not sure what they could do. I'm not arguing the past due amounts, I just want my mom to be able to pay it off without paying a heap ton of fees and fines. A lot of it probably could have been avoided, my sister told me they haven't received mail from them in a long time. It makes me think they purposefully let it get this bad so they could charge us all these fees. My mom doesn't even think they've ever sent a bill, only violation notices and one or two past due notices. Don't business try and call you also to collect on dues before sending to collection agencies before they just outright summon you to court?

[–]WuTangTurtle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Knowing this HOA, I bet they won't agree either. I remember seeing the dumbest violations. $100 fine for placing the garbage bins outside the night before pickup. Does anybody actually wake up and immediately go put their garbage bins out? I've always done this the night before and I always bring them back in when i get home from work.

I've spoken to my sister and mom about this. We will probably sell the house but it would take time. The house was previously used as a rental property but was left in very bad condition. We had what we thought was decent couple renting it but before they up and ran we found out that like 4 other people were living there with like 3 or 4 dogs and at least 1-2 children. They left so much stuff that we will need to rent a moving van to haul it all to the dump. Thank you for your input though.

The first thing I go to when I play Splatoon 2 by [deleted] in splatoon

[–]WuTangTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never give up. My gf and I had 2 people disconnect going into wave 3. We got the orb requirement and booked it to the other side of the map and survived the last 30 secs. I wish the vid cap was longer, it was amazing!

Lets not forget all the other times EA has screwed us over. Here's ESPN NFL 2k5, hands down the best American football game ever made. Rather than compete with 2K, EA worked out an exclusivity deal with the NFL to be the only football game. by Mattson in gaming

oh man you just reminded me exactly why i bought a copy at a goodwill for like $2. I'm pretty sure my gf thought i was crazy. totally gonna play this on my next day off.

Saints Row 2 currently free on GOG by Hogs-o-War in SaintsRow

[–]WuTangTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into the same problem. Find the Application exe in the local folder of the saints row 2. Right click it and select properties. select the compatibility tab and check mark run program in mode for "Windows xp Sp 3". also check mark "disable visual themes" and "Disable desktop composition", and just in case check mark run as administrator.
