@SignorPao @TheTechNerd Some nice Hall Effect joycons would certainly be nice.

@echo64 I think the system wouldn’t be too bad if there was an easier way to get the base weapons. One of the things I really dislike is hunting for specific weapons. I’ve only found one of those deku spears in my entire playthrough. Also, having to break my weapons killing enemies so I can get their weapons seems counter productive.

@lemmy_party The problem is less building the PC and more to do with picking the parts. My first gaming computer as one that I picked the parts out for and someone else put together and it was the worst computer I’d ever owned. Despite PC Part Picker assuring me that the parts were compatible, they apparently weren’t because it was an unstable mess. My current PC was built by someone who knew what they were doing and it’s the best PC I’ve ever had.

@fidodo I never actually thought about going to a local shop to get a custom build. I might have to look into that.

@dpunked The kids were 10-13. The game mechanics are really simple to learn too. The box says 8+ and that’s probably accurate.

@Spat_U_Later the simple game mechanic makes it really easy to explain to new players. It’s the only game the kids were able to easily pick up with a single explanation of the rules.

@BumpingFuglies You don’t have any problems when using it docked? I had read a few posts claiming that running it docked caused it to struggle.

@DadWagonDriver The series is Thursday Murder Club which is also the name of the first book in the series. It’s a murder mystery series. The fourth book in the series comes out September 2023.

@dresden Yeah. Goodreads lists one of its genres as Cozy Mystery which gives the books a nice, laid back feeling to them when read. The chapters are also short which I find helpful since I can fit some reading whenever I have time without having to worry about stopping mid-chapter.

@SpaceCadet I thought about that but I like the little window on the side. It makes it easier to see inside if I need to check on something. Just recently I needed to check and make sure nothing was using my bottom sata ports before ordering an m.2 SSD. With the side window, I could just take a peak inside without having to pull the panel off.

As some others have said, I’ll likely hunt for non-RGB stuff or just set it up to turn them off.
