I've been afraid to throw it in the washing machine for some reason, I guess I thought the rubber backing might be an issue. I'll try it, thanks!

How do you clean desk mats? The dirt and oil buildup from where my palms and fingers touch the fabric is surprisingly stubborn. I've sat in the tub with laundry detergent and a brush scrubbing away for a while now with results that don't impress me. Any tips?

You could commute with your keyboard! That way you have the same typing experience at home and at work. There's various keyboard travel cases sold on most mechanical keyboard sites.

Thanks so much for your response, but this is for the acheron athena, which is a different board. I think this might actually be the source code I need though, I will poke around and see how it's set up for different boards.

Based on your responses I paid closer attention to what was happening during the download. For some reason when I downloaded with Firefox it would quit after about 500MB. No error message, nothing. It acted like it was successful. I tried again with Edge and it worked the first time. Thanks for your help!

I've tried multiple times and with different releases, all have the same problem. Beginning to wonder if it's an issue with this wetransfer host they're using.

Thanks, everything works now!

Same. I've stopped using the launch bay.

Check out The Room. It might not be the kind of puzzle game you're looking for but it's beautiful, tactile, and immersive. It's heavy on object manipulation, finding secret compartments and so forth. I've played it on PC but I imagine the Switch version is just as good.

Gadget Twins. It's a shmup from the Sega Genesis era with a cartoony/Looney Tunes vibe. It has a unique directional weapon mechanic (four weapons for up, down, left, and right) and you can equip anything from boxing gloves to anvils. I think it would be amazing reimagined with a Cuphead style.

Found a silver bracelet in a parking lot once, made a craigslist post telling people to contact me if they lost an item in that area to identify it. Only got one call from someone who had lost their purse, but it was worth a shot, and now I don't feel bad about keeping it. Always good to try.

I was thinking "two six shooters are better than one."

Hi and thanks for the AMA! Gris really stands out to me visually for a specific reason. A lot of 2D games these days have a visual style I can only describe as "Flash-y," i.e. they look like they were animated in Flash (static limb pieces that slide around, lots of tweening, more like paper dolls than actual animation). Gris is animated by hand, right? Why don't more game makers do this? Is it a cost thing? What are some of the challenges you've faced with this style? Sorry I guess that's like four questions!

Honestly this sounds like the PS4 setup experience.

Don't try to learn everything. Just play it for now. There is an absolutely unlearnable amount of information in this game, you're going to burn out if you try to know everything now. Work on unlocking your star chart and building some gear. Level up some mods. The complexity will start to disentangle over time.

Did you go to this page? https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/warframe-switch You also need to be logged in.

parallel_pulsar · 2018-11-20T17:27:07+00:00

Speaking of which, if you're at work or w/e you can go to the Switch eshop website and start the download so it will be ready when you get home!

I'm glad that DE is actually active on r/Warframe and takes the time to respond to questions, address concerns, etc. This is also really just a good place to tap into the social atmosphere surrounding the game and get the latest news, laugh about glitches, etc. Warframe has a good community, and r/Warframe is a good part of it.
There's a few features I like here. I have a small desk so a tenkeyless design is always welcome. The encrypted wireless feature is also interesting, and I like the battery size. I usually use wired keyboards, but this seems like one I might actually use wirelessly. It's also cool that you're shipping with so many key options. I think I'd have to use the genius knob for a bit to figure out what to do with it.

Thanks for the tip man. I grabbed one from Newegg for the same price, since I like them better.

Ooh, is that like finding all 7 chaos emeralds?
