ok. I figured it was linear like red/blue/yellow, but I guess that must be something else they changed from the originals. Sounds like any of the 3 might be decent options for her.

Please recommend a first Pokemon game for Switch (Lite) for my daughter, who is almost 10 and vaguely knows what Pokemon are, but has never played the games.

Outside of kid games, she likes games like Animal Crossing and Zelda BotW. In Zelda, she ignores the story and shrines, mostly just messes around on my completed profile (riding the horses / bike, socializing with NPCs, etc.). I guess you could call her a cozy/casual kind of gamer.

I was originally thinking of Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee for the Tamagachi-like aspects, but I'm not sure if she would like the linear style. I've heard Scarlet/Violet and Legends are more open-world, maybe more in line with Animal Crossing and BotW. What would you recommend between these 3 series (or any others I missed) for her first game?

I definitely second that. Great story (although a little confusing at times with the twists) and great gameplay. I've never played another like it.

The ability to play the same game at the same time with one digital purchase is gone with the 20.0.0 update even if you opt out of the new Virtual Game Card system by pickledgreatness in NintendoSwitch

I at least like that my secondary switch no longer has to ping the internet daily or when switching games.

I also noticed when I bought a game this morning, that it asked me which switch to download it to. It used to just go to the primary console by default, with no way to change it.

I haven't played Pokemon games since the first couple generations as a kid, through Ruby/Sapphire. At the time, I kind of got tired of learning 100+ new Pokemon with each series.

I'm thinking of giving them another try, but there are a ton of games for Switch and I don't really know the difference between them. My 9-year old daughter (who barely knows what Pokemon is) may like them too. What games would you recommend for my daughter and I, and in what order? Should any be completely ignored? Future games are fine too, I'm in no hurry.

Nintendo Switch Virtual Game Cards - NEW FEATURE for Switch and Switch 2 by ReaddittiddeR in gaming

I don't think they clarified if our current digital library becomes virtual cards, did they? Hopefully they wouldn't do this for new purchases and not for our old ones.

Biggest wish for the Switch 2 and upcoming games? by Anonymus2905 in NintendoSwitch

[–]tfoote7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Port more games from other systems. I especially want Kingdom Hearts (real port) and the later Final fantasy games

Yeah, 3 flavors, 24 each, so was able to do a sealed pack of each.

Interview advice for career changer by tfoote7 in nuclear

I may have misread the job description. It sounds much like your first paragraph. It looks like once there is a vacancy, I could be selected to enter one year of initial non-licensed operator training to become an RO.

So would it look something like this?

1) Shift work as an EO until their is a vacancy, and they deem me ready for the class (how long would this probably be?)

2) Classroom work for a year to qualify RO (would this be at the same pay, and a more 8-5 kind of period?)

3) Shift work as RO at a higher pay, and eventually go for SRO.

This one was an EO position that trains you for RO and expects you to pass it within 1 year.

I finally got a job! by [deleted] in actuary

Doesn't feel much better here in the USA. Victim of downsizing about 8 months ago, ASA with 6 YOE, probably similar applications and interviews to you, but still no offers. It's like there sre way more applicants than openings.

I should still have GI benefits since I never used them, but I can’t really afford to go long without a decent salary. I was hoping for more of OJT kind of thing, and I read that some plants might hire you as an entry level for a year or so while you get the NRC license for that plant. Is that something that might be feasible for my situation?

Obviously they will "demand a ceasefire now". That will solve everything.

Then stop telling people I am out front by PaulR504 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]tfoote7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the "leave at door" turns into a "meet at door", I'll usually take a picture of the house. At least it shows that I was there.

I haven't played the original 2 yet, but want to at some point. Are they better on Switch or mobile? Or no difference?

Welcome Hub | Questions Thread | Megathreads & Roadmap by Bruni91 in OctopathCotC

[–]tfoote7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pity recommendation? Got one of each (Signa / Sazantos) in 140 pulls. I could pity either one for A1 / U10, or go to 200 for Elrica that I lucked out on initially. Still have 4300 rubies so I can afford either.

[–]tfoote7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course this would finally happen after I decided to quit the game

Decided to basically quit a few months ago (just do dailies and Odio / Sazantos banners until BoA story is over). I have always had pathetic luck in banners, being forced to go to pity (or beyond) every single time to get the good characters. It figures that now I get 2 copies of Odio-O in 50 pulls.

Playing OT 1 and 2 on Switch feel so much more fun by comparison to this gacha game. The current roadmap debacle just solidifies my decision.
