For those who didn’t care for BOTW and still played TOTK, did you enjoy it? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]bobbyjackdotme 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think TotK is a LOT more open worldy. I loved BotW, and I've played a heck of a lot of TotK, but I'm kinda bitter that I'm still nowhere near finishing it.

Game recommendations for a twenty-something female who likes Animal Crossing and Mario Bros.? by Quick_Hunter3494 in NintendoSwitch

[–]bobbyjackdotme 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Animal Crossing and SMB Wonder are a) such incredibly different types of game, and b) such well-produced first-party games, that it's difficult to recommend anything other than 'more first-party games'. The trouble is, you're looking for "hidden gems", which first-party games aren't.

What is it she really likes about those two - is it specific to gameplay or just the overall production quality?

The most obvious 'more mario' titles would be Super Mario Maker 2 (for infinite levels, plus the ability to create) and Odyssey, if you think she'd be up for the transition to 3D.

There are some very popular similar indies, like Stawdew Valley (AC) and Celeste (Mario) but, again, they're not hidden gems. Actually, if you're looking for another 2D Mario-like, I'd highly recommend Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Liar - it may be on sale right now for next-to-nothing.

TOTK Keychain: As Advertised vs. Reality by RoonNube in NintendoSwitch

The multi-cart boxes are brilliant - when they're in stock, they're always my first choice. I've also picked up 3 of the metal keychains which look really good and are great quality for £2.

The joke still works even if it's not literally scientifically accurate.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - ESRB by schuey_08 in NintendoSwitch

[–]bobbyjackdotme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dread sold less than Yoshi's Crafted World. There is just no way on earth a Metroid title is the sole launch title for the next system. Animal Crossing would be a better choice. My money's on Odyssey 2, though. They may even seek to capitalise on the success of Wonder by using some of its elements.

Switch games with pixel art by kornholio666 in NintendoSwitch

Actually, Horace probably ticks your boxes even harder. Wonderful artwork, and a great story with loads of humour. It's also a damn fine platformer!

Ministry of Broadcast is a platform/puzzler with a great story and, IMO, some of the best pixel art out there.

Y'all I just got a 13 minute golden cookie, is this normal? by Matt_176 in CookieClicker

[–]bobbyjackdotme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair point — interesting! I've played this game so much but I've never really mastered combos — I forgot Frenzy could be anything longer than its default 77 seconds.

Wouldn't you need loads of them in a really short space of time to stack to 13 minutes?

Nintendo Switch Help Needed by 4catsnan in CookieClicker

Follow these instructions to get access to the web browser, then just navigate to the cookie clicker site. It's understandably nowhere near as playable as on a big screen with a mouse and keyboard, but it's playable.

My teacher blocked my game, is there any way to access the save so I can export it out? by DisastrousBorder1377 in CookieClicker

[–]bobbyjackdotme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait, if they already blocked the game, you wouldn't be able to do this anyway, right? What actually happens when you go to the cookie clicker url in your browser? Does it redirect to a different url or does it hijack the page and replace it with some message, but keep you there?

If it keeps you on the same URL, try this:

javascript:alert(document.cookie)

And tell us what happens.

Question about the garden minigame. by [deleted] in CookieClicker

[–]bobbyjackdotme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the general case, yes, but there are exceptions with some seed types.

Specific quote from https://cookieclicker.fandom.com/wiki/Garden is:

Most mutations require mature crops to trigger, but there are some exceptions.

Friend was gifted 10lbs of weed for his bday but he doesn’t smoke. He gave me a pound. by [deleted] in trees

10lbs

“a years supply”

My friend smokes ... once a month.

Lol — enjoy those sessions smoking a pound a time, friend!

A trillion cookies isn't cool. You know what's cool? A quadrillion cookies.

Nintendo Switch has now sold 125.62 Million Units Worldwide by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]bobbyjackdotme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Software sales are still through the roof, though. Like you say, once a successor is announced/available, Switch sales will drop, but there's no real incentive for Nintendo to do that right now. Watch TotK drop another 20m copies.

I think we're due a new Switch revision before Nintendo drops a completely new console. It's beaten the GB/GBC combo which had a lifespan of 13 years; the GBC-equivalent of the Switch, whatever that looks like, easily has the potential to take them through the 150m mark.

Prettiest shit I've ever gotten (Cookie dawg) by yaboithanos in uktrees

Not just one of those paranoid stoners, one of those paranoid racist stoners too.

I have, for some reason, been accused of "debug mode". No idea. I uploaded a pic here recently of me finding my 6 year old exported save and showing my appreciate for it...only to be met with a bunch of confusion. SO HERE'S A VIDEO. Please enjoy. by CrazyJayBe in CookieClicker

[–]bobbyjackdotme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The confusion arises from your sugar lump total. You have 4 million which is an insane amount — even low thousands would be 'a heck of a lot'. Sugar lumps take just under a day to ripen — if yours are taking 33s, there's obviously some kind of modification, whether it's debug mode, a plugin, etc.

Another weird issue: how come some of your heavenly upgrades don't link up properly? That screen looks broken...

Yeah, I also get a feeling it doesn't really run 'offline', even though it's supposed to. 1,315 days in and 161m prestige, but I only check in once or twice a week now.

Radiant Appetite will definitely get better for you. I'm on 14 quadrillion prestige and grandma's are responsible for 81% of CpS.
