    What are your favourite game franchises besides Fire Emblem?

    in General Gaming

    Posted

    In no particular order just the others I really follow and like.

    Legend of Zelda:  Can't really say anything else about this one that hasn't been said.  Some amazing fan work out there in the SFM department check out MajorLink sometime on youtube

    Castlevania/Bloodstained:  Always have loved the gothic horror element and reignited interest due to Bloodstained being great.

    Halo:  I actually have loved the world building and story.  Got really into all the books especially the Nylund ones.  Fall of Reach is my favorite

    Metroid:  Didn't really get into it until Prime one but loved the scan mechanic and how it built up the world

    Civilization series:  talk about a series with replay ability and if you are a history nut like me you will waste gobs of time

    Nintendo Switch Dock Issues

    in General Gaming

    Posted

    This has happened to me twice in the past couple of weeks and I wanted to see if anyone else here had encountered something similar.  Its and on again off again type of issue

     

    It seems at times when I dock my NSwitch it shows its getting power yet the signal for whatever reason doesn't push to the TV and the screen on the Switch just goes black (as it should when it is docked)  however, where things get weird is that it gets locked up in a permanent sleep state where I have to hold the power button for 15 seconds then tap it again to power cycle and restart the console.  FYI I can only do this while its undocked.  Console works perfectly fine in handheld mode no issues what so ever so it would seem that its not bricked.  Below are the steps I've taken to troubleshoot.

     

    • Tried on a different TV altogether.  My main TV is a 4K HDR smart TV and you know it can get wonkey since they like to try and detect things automatically and switch to them.  I tried on a vanilla ordinary 1080p HDTV and same exact issues persist so its not the smart tv. 
    • Swapped the HDMI cable with a known good working one in addition to testing on the vanilla HDTV. Same issue.
    • Tested the Official Nintendo AC Adapter that came with the dock by plugging it directly into the NSwitch in handheld mode.  Charged switch and power delivery is fine even while playing.
    • Tried different HDMI ports on multiple TVs same issue. 
    • Unplugged power and HDMI cables from the dock. Unplugged TV power.  Power cycled the switch then replugged in the TV, dock power, dock HDMI in that order same issue
    • I dust out the dock port and the USB port lightly with a dry q tip and compressed air.  No dice.

    Up till this point I'm thinking so dock must be faulty despite being very new possibly that will fix it...but this is where it gets weird...

    I figured ok what the hell I'll put my Switch into the dock overnight and just let it sit keep in mind its been charged and has juice through the whole troubleshooting process.  Solid green light came on to show it was docked still no luck on the signal going to the TV so I go to bed.  I wake up see the green light off on the dock and test by turning on the console while its docked and the signal goes through to the TV like normal and works fine in spite of not being able to go through or turn on at all the night before while docked?

     

    I should also mention I have also only ever used the official Nintendo dock.  I've only ever used battery packs in handheld mode.

     

    What gives?  Any one else run into this its become more frequent lately.

     

    I've turned off the auto power state setting along with the sleep timer for when the console is docked.  That seems to help make it a bit more consistent.

    Best thing about PoR and RD?

    in GameCube and Wii Era

    Best main characters and core cast

    Best world building in the series especially with all the side convos and base convos

    Coherent decent story helps that it had two games as direct sequels to build everything up

    Personal note I always loved the art style and sprite work of the Tellius games

    Welcome back to the Forest Taco. Do you know how much games you have? Im curious. And good luck with your Masters Degree.

    Thanks I appreciate that to be honest I'm not too sure quite a few at this point since I've kept most things as far back from the GBA and GCN.

    Smash controversy regarding war bonnet

    Just seems kinda dumb on all sides.  Dumb that people are offended by it and dumb that people are raising a fuss over a pretty minor change.  Now I will say there have been times where the "PC" stuff has been taken too far to the point of crippling the original product. When that is placed above producing a good product or service particularly in entertainment it typically doesn't end well for anyone and a very inadvisable way to run a business.  Especially when the ones screaming the loudest tend to be the vast minority of people and most just want to buy a good game and enjoy it.

    Hey there all I'm LordOTaco.  I've been a long time forum member for the past few years but have been absent due to having a rather intensive work schedule while simultaneously working on my Masters degree in IT.  In that time I've grown and learned alot as well as built up quite a game collection.  I'd love to get to know the members here new and old.  Looking forward to Smash Ultimate

     

    Why aren't Paul Blart and Beter Griffin in Smash 5?

    it's because sakurai is dumb, He says that too many sacrifices are necessary to make paul blart playable, I agree with him on that, but there is nothing preventing beter griffin from being added, he just doesn't want to because he in the pocket of intelligent systems, and that mario company and her doesn't want to anger his japanese overlords, by adding superior western characters.

    I too like watching anime of the cartoon variety in the west.  There is a slim chance of Hank Hill being a echo character for Mewtwo.  Makes sense tbh

    Paul Blart was deconfirmed as an assist trophy. But he wasn't in the E3 demo so there's hope! Beter Griffin hasn't been in a music video in seven years though, so they probably thought he wasn't relevant like Timecop.

    Damn we lost a goddamn hero today gents.
