    It’s wild that I’ve experienced two of what seem to be the best games ever in a span of a few months. I don’t have any D&D experience, but I’m really using BG3 to learn more about it and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been a fan of the Zelda franchise since the original launched, and TotK is just incredible. Both of these games are amazing, even if they have different goals.

    I need to play with the controls options more, but I’m wondering if this is an either/or thing where you either use the “controller” scheme or you need to completely map everything for k+m. I tried to go with what seemed to be the most popular community controls and the game alerted me that the controller had disconnected; and weirdly the menu size and layout shrunk and looked different. I’d really like to use a trackpad as a mouse to have that option along with the sticks, but if not I’ll adjust to it. I’ve run into other controller issues, like where it says to hold “select” for the journal but it only works to open the map - you can still press one of the triggers to pull up a wheel with the journal, but it seems like there’s still some bugs to work out.

    I’d say the story greatly exceeded my expectations, particularly after BotW (which kind of lowered them?). Zelda’s role in this game was simply amazing, and her sacrifice was incredible. I never really know what any of it means for purposes of a timeline or lore, but I just really loved this game and it’s story. It’s not a perfect game, but overall it feels like the best game I’ve ever played.

    Yeah I might go that route; I'm 170+ hours in so just from playing the game I'm not really hurting for many resources but I'm also not sure how far I am from being able to actually take advantage of that one area. On the zappy islands right now so I think I'm close-ish but I also have been taking my time with stuff lol.

    How’s your battery health?

    I’ve had my Steam Deck since last June, and noticed the battery would drop from “full” when plugged in to 95% as soon as I unplugged it. I tied the calibration method Valve recommends, but also realized when I check the Battery Health in desktop mode/settings, it’s at 88%…which does seem odd after just one year? Curious to hear how others’ devices are holding up.

    Because with some leftover credit I had in the eShop I got Diablo II Resurrected for $10 on the Switch, and that seemed to be a good deal. One day, many years from now when I'm finally done with Tears of the Kingdom, I might actually play it.

    Thanks! I've used Zelda Dungeon's map to find a couple of tricky shrines - I can't handle it when the pad is notifying me that I'm near one, I explore several caves in the area, and it still just says "slightly above" or "slightly below" lol. I hadn't even thought to look through the rest they have to offer :0

    Using any guides?

    I'm maybe 135 hours or so in, just finished the regional phenomena quest, and am trying to get through a bunch of the side quests and adventures before moving on to the next Main Story quest. I've only looked online for a couple of items so far, but as I end up with quests that I'm still interested in completing (but not sure how to progress on them), wondering if anyone has a particular site or guide they've used for the game?

    It's getting used to sticks+gyro. Using the sticks for the big movements and the gyro for the fine tuning. That's what got me through a lot of Splatoon, and then I found that system brilliant for Diablo on the Switch. I played Diablo Eternal on the PS4 and it felt like a downgrade without the gyro assist, to be honest. I haven't used M+K for so many years (like since the original X-Wing came out) so it's kind of tough to go back to that after so many years with a controller, but it just takes time to adjust I suppose.

    There's just so much to explore...every time I walk 5 feet in any direction I feel like I just started some other side quest lol. Maybe the perceived discrepancy in sky islands vs the depths can be explained by observing that the parts of the depths where there's nothing really there would be the parts of the sky islands that are just sky? Haven't played Diablo 4 yet, but have some friends that are really really into that franchise and have been enjoying it a lot.

    I'm still really deep into Tears of the Kingdom. Maybe 90 hours in and still only have gone through two of the regional/sage quests, because the side quests and adventures are really a lot of fun. Exploring the depths is super cool. While the sky islands seem to make up less of the game than I thought they would, they're still a cool part of the game and I'm still exploring, side-questing, and occasionally getting back to the main story quests. Given all of that, why did I buy Diablo II for the Switch? Because it's nearly 70% off right now and with some credit I had it was $10 and I got a lot of playtime out of DIII.
