Always tried to love this game. It actually is a good game. I love the genre, love the developer (obviously), and it's got a silly/weird premise and presentation. But I've gone back to it so many times...just never held my attention. I do hope you enjoy it, though. I think it's just one of those games that either clicks with you or it doesn't, 'cause so many folks swear by it.

Yeah its the same for me. Someone thing just didn't click for me with this game. I bought at launch and returned it 3 days later. Funny thing is that I love Valkyria Chronicles.

My phone was acting up, text messaging app not functioning just all around being finnicky so, I got myself an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S20 FE for ~600 dollars. Switched out the SIM card and works like a charm with my provider :P Heard this this is also decent at running emulators too

After dealing with a basically dying Kindle Paperwhite for months now, and reading stuff on my phone instead, finally decided to replace it...

With a Kindle Voyage. I've wanted one since it first released in 2014 cuz it always sounded so smexy, but the price vs the Paperwhite I've had was terrible so I never bothered. Grabbed a refurbished one that looks in basically perfect condition for $70.

Nice. I still use my Kobo Touch every day. I bought it about 6 years ago for $35 and I've been thinking of upgrading soon.

Not having any prior experience with Microsoft consoles or peripherals I bought an Xbox controller as they are natively supported by Windows, so that I could easily connect it to my PC via Bluetooth... Turns out windows 8.1 does not support Bluetooth connection for these controllers, so I updated to Windows 10, which broke my network and Bluetooth drivers, so I updated them as well, but for some reason the updated drivers didn't work either so I'm guessing the hardware itself does not support Windows 10. Not wanting to upgrade my PC's hardware for now I bought a Mayflash Magic NS adapter, as it supports Xbox one controllers, only then I realized that I didn't have an Xbox one S controller, it was actually an Xbox series S controller. So I can get a wired connection, but Bluetooth is out of the question, at least through Mayflash's adapter. I think the original Mircosoft usb adapter can fix that, but I can't find it at a reasonable price. In reality I don't mind the wired connection but I've had bad experiences with wireless controllers being plugged in for extended periods of time.

open the Microsoft Store and install the XBOX Accessories app, then connect it. With the app, you should be receiving a firmware update for the controller.

Now I don't remember if the firmware update was via Bluetooth, or if it asked me to connect a cable. Probably had to use a cable. Anyway, install the app.

I tried that, but I need to be on Windows 10 to download it, which breaks network and Bluetooth because the drivers are not compatible. I guess I'll just buy a new network card, they don't seem to be expensive.
