| pleia2 | thanks nhaines | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | had it on my list post-meeting, but my list D: | 02:25 |
| nhaines | That's okay! I had it on my list post-flight but also D: | 02:30 |
| nhaines | I just barely got my expense claim form in. :) | 02:30 |
| nhaines | pleia2: Did you watch Stranger Things on Netflix? | 02:36 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: yep :) | 02:37 |
| nhaines | Well then, spoiler alert: the free tie-in mobile game they put out in advance of season 2 is really fun. | 02:37 |
| nhaines | I sat down to try it out for 5 or 10 minutes earlier today and 90 minutes later I think I'm about 25% complete and I'm like "where did my day go?" | 02:38 |
| pleia2 | haha | 02:38 |
| nhaines | Big Zelda/Earthbound/Stranger Things vibe. I'm looking forward to playing it some more... tomorrow. :) | 02:39 |
| pleia2 | I've been in a state of travel-work-read-TV lately, no games aside from casual 3DS play :( | 02:40 |
| nhaines | I bought Metroid: Samus Returns for my return flight from the Ubuntu Rally but after two hours or so I had to take a break. | 02:41 |
| nhaines | And by that I mean I couldn't throw my 3DS out the window because airplane. :) I like it, though. | 02:41 |
| pleia2 | feel a bit bad about how much TV I've been watching, but seeing as how I've had a sprained ankle and that still isn't keeping me off planes, I am trying to cut myself some slack | 02:41 |
| pleia2 | I haven't bought any new 3DS games lately | 02:42 |
| nhaines | I played Metroid II on 3DS Virtual Console but failed to convince myself that this was acceptable for the flight home. :) | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | I did buy Final Fantasy XIII at the end of July and totally failed to start playing it yet | 02:43 |
| nhaines | But Metroid was the first game I bought in a long while. | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | but I did only spend one week at home in August, two weeks in September... | 02:44 |
| pleia2 | my 3DS battery hasn't been doing as good as I remember | 02:45 |
| pleia2 | I even ordered a new one, and that was lousy too | 02:45 |
| nhaines | Aww. Really? | 02:45 |
| pleia2 | kind of assumed I'd just upgrade to the Switch, but I really like my 3DS | 02:47 |
| nhaines | Same. | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | so I just charge it a lot :) | 02:48 |
| nhaines | Hehe. :) | 02:48 |
| nhaines | It's a tough choice. On the one had, I love autostereoscopic 3D, but on the other hand I also love resolution. | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | the screen on the switch is pretty stunning | 02:49 |
| pleia2 | but it turns out I don't like my games to be realistic, so I'm fine with lower resolution | 02:51 |
| pleia2 | have we talked about this before? I can't play modern FPS games because they make me too sad | 02:52 |
| nhaines | Breath of the Wild is so beautiful though! | 02:52 |
| nhaines | I don't think we have. | 02:52 |
| pleia2 | the pretty of Final Fantasy in the late 90s certainly was a draw, but I think even with that the excitement wound down as I got into the game | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | yeesh, I've been away from the Zelda franchise for a while | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | this does look nice :) | 02:54 |
| nhaines | If you shoot an arrow through a campfire, the arrow catches fire. :) | 02:54 |
| pleia2 | :D | 02:54 |
| nhaines | Everyone was excited about Skyrim for the Switch, but I was like "if I have an open-world Zelda game, why would I want to play Skyrim?" | 02:56 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 02:57 |
| nhaines | And I like Skyrim. :) | 02:57 |
| nhaines | But, you know. When Nintendo bends all their will into a single game, that game is special. | 02:57 |
| pleia2 | I never played | 02:58 |
| nhaines | It's an interesting game. As it went on, I mostly played it to collect the in-world books and read them. :) | 03:02 |
| nhaines | (Skyrim, that is.) | 03:02 |
| nhaines | I played Breath of the Wild for 15 minutes until Nintendo said I couldn't play anymore. :) | 03:02 |
| pleia2 | tsk :) | 03:05 |
| nhaines | Aw, someone on reddit made a joke (misheard song lyrics) and said Wii Sports Resort and now I'm sad. | 03:11 |
