just found out that our parents had to put down the dog earlier today... liver failure, they're not sure why but probably old age

We were never very close to her; our parents got her before we got over our phobia of dogs, and she never liked us much because of that initial impression, but still... sad news.

Mrf.

how do people handle that period of feeling-like-a-nuisance that comes after requesting that something be CW'd? >.<

found a bug in pokemon let's go: apparently it mistakenly says "you used a <item>" when the opponent uses an item, at least under some circumstances

video evidence to come if anyone cares, once we get it off our switch

the switch is a good console but nintendo really dropped the ball on a couple usability aspects

charging port on the bottom means it can't be used comfortably while charging

charging circuitry shows a blatant disregard for the USB-PD standard it's supposed to support (never use your switch charger to charge a phone!!!!)

Built-in kickstand is flimsy and doesn't work on even slightly soft surfaces

it's weird to think just how many foods that are now considered a staple of european or asian cuisine originated in the americas

like, until europeans explored the americas there were no tomatoes in italian food, no chilis or paprika in indian food, no potatoes...

I maintain that having the charging port be on the bottom of the nintendo switch was a bad design decision

Hmm. Did we add someone from here as a friend on switch for some reason? We have someone on our friends list but don't recognise them and aren't sure why we would have added them...

Eevee has such a cute poofy tail.

I wonder if anyone's ever done an all-trainers speedrun of any pokemon games

Well, named the rival Blue out of nostalgia and then it turns out you encounter the original Blue in this game too so that's gonna be confusing

interesting thing that just happened on my home column @Galuade@snouts.online @wntrdrgn@snouts.online

There are quite a lot of good games getting rereleased on the switch that we weren't aware of

There's a Tales of Vesperia rerelease, there's a FFX/X-2 HD rerelease, there's a FFXII rerelease, there's an Ōkami HD remake...

And then there are some 3DS remakes that we weren't aware of either--Tales of the Abyss got a rerelease, Radiant Historia got an updated rerelease

So many things we want and so little money to get them

people have done a lot of data-diving into how glitches in pokemon work, and how glitches in Mario 64 work. Has anyone done the same for Ocarina of Time? I'd love to read details on exactly what coding oddities made BA and RBA work, as well as ocarina items or *ESS.

@codl been wondering for a while, what species is that in your new icon

so are the new pokemon games basically Yellow remakes?

someone's upset about "having words stolen from [them]" (because of people using previously-non-slur words as slurs) and just I have no idea how to respond to that

I guess I'm disliked in this group now because I objected to someone's use of the words "f*ta" and "h*rm"

random thought: what happened to the ouya?
