Almonds, do gaming w I have a shelf of boxes that I just can't throw out...

I can’t throw boxes away because I’ve moved so many times to avoid rising rental costs. I’m packing again right now, and it’s really nice to have the little inserts that kind of stabilize the consoles in their boxes

atro_city,

Yeah, the person in the picture seems to either not move often or not resell things. I've moved quite a bit and having the boxes for all my things has helped immensely. Instead of buying new boxes for everything, trying to fit stuff in there, unpacking and throwing away all boxes because "somebody held my hand", I just reuse.

In the past 14 years, ever since becoming an adult, I have had to move 11 different times. I have learned just how useful good boxes are. I can’t get rid of them, I’m gonna need them when I move again next year.

surewhynotlem,

Thank you. You just helped me get to the bottom of why I can’t let these stupid boxes go. I used to move every year.

Now that I don’t move so much, I think I can throw some out.

Almonds,

It’s crazy how strongly the brain tries to protect us from old stresses, without us being consciously aware of it.

I’m glad you don’t need to move every year anymore! It’s one of those normalized things that truly shouldn’t be. I mean, it’s not the avocado toast that’s keeping homeownership out of reach, it’s the constant moving/application/deposit/etc fees we face so often

greenskye,

I’ve never repacked a console in its original box, even when I’ve had it.

msage,

Doesn’t it have a travelling case? Is that not enough? My SO has a Switch, I have Steam Deck, and those cases survived moving many times.

Almonds,

I don’t travel so I’ve never needed to buy a travel case for it

Wish i could get a hold on these manuals to switch games but after looking some it seem quite hard. Would love to print for my own use and for something to my child to look at just like I did when I were younger. Oh well.

Sad to hear about the condition and I hope you get well. Why do these things happen to good people who make a change in the world?

ViscloReader, do games w Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...

Like someone else said, take an OG switch.

  • If you want a good screen you may look at the OLED model.
  • If you don’t care and are on a budget you may find one for 100€ on second hand marketplaces.

It’s not a powerful system but the library is worth it for a living room/family experience IMO.

Just don’t take the switch light as it lacks support for TV output.

For a brief moment, I installed my newly purchased copy of Kerbal Space Program onto my laptop and now I just need to learn the controls for building rockets. That single thing is really holding me back from being the ultimate rocket building idiot.

Also got back into Gemcraft: Frostborn Wrath recently.

Otherwise I really haven’t been playing many games outside of maybe PVZ2 Reflourished on my phone or the odd game of Feudal Tactics on my laptop while waiting for something to finish.

I’m about halfway through Pentiment and I’m not sure what to think of it. There are lots of things I love about it: the art, the characters, the writing (mostly) and the historical research that’s gone into making it. All the running around and back tracking hasn’t been great. The first murder was also very unsatisfying, and it’s only now that I realise that that was the point. And I’m not sure what to think of that. It’s a strange game, with its central message seemingly being how powerless we are in the face of history and how restricted we are in our lives. Or at least people were back then. I’ll probably have to wait until I finish for my full judgement of it though.

I also snagged Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree on the Steam summer sale at 25% off. As a passionate VTM: Bloodlines fan I’ve been waiting for a reason to buy it. I’ve felt obliged to check it out as it was also written by Brian Mitsoda. Plus the game itself looked interesting. I’ve only just started playing it, but I’m enjoying it so far. The writing seems okay (not Bloodlines level) but the presentation is beautiful. I really like the splash art for characters and the cutscenes. It’s a Metroidvania Soulslike with a skill tree inspired by Path of Exile, and I can already tell I’ll have a lot of fun crafting builds here. Probably huge replayability too. The combat has felt solid so far, but I’m only at the beginning.

don’t throw away boxes, you might need those in 15 years.

SkunkWorkz, do games w What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

Super Mario Bros Wonder. Probably all the Mario platformer games. Those games are mostly just pure gameplay. Sure there is fluff in the beginning to setup the story and setting but than it gets out of your way

Finished playing the Futures Connected extra story of Xenoblade Chronicles. It was OK as a short epilogue, but I wish the story explored more of

spoilerFiora’s situation instead.

I’ve started the Torna DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I’m not sure sure if I wanna play it right now as it looks really bad in handheld, especially on Switch 2, where there’s both the bad resolution (I think it’s like 540p or less?) and the colors are fucked. I might wait a bit hoping a patch is released.

I’ve also started Fantasy Life i. It’s pretty fun, it kinda reminds me of FFXIV with how the job system works. I do wish there was a bit more complexity in crafting, but it’s still fun and there seems to be a lot to do.

The resale for a used switch in the box is greater than without.

the_crotch,

There’s a whole market on eBay for empty apple boxes. You can get over $50 for bacbook pro box, because a used machine will bring in more than that if it comes in the “original” box

Itdidnttrickledown,

I’m well aware. I have five latest generation ipad boxes at the moment.
