Kotaku Game DiaryDaily thoughts from Kotaku staff about the game we play.Back when this period of social deprivation began two months and an insurmountable number of years ago, I was playing Dragon Quest XI on my switch. I realized that, every once in a while, my character would either take a few steps forward or turn a little to himself. I am read horror stories, so I immediately knew what I was working on: the frightened cheerful killer, Joy Con drift. However, it was so bad. I decided to learn how to live with it. That was a mistake.
They had my reasons. For one thing, it was early days to go covid-19, and I was scared to do it anything else that includes interacting with potential people, even if that just means picking up my switch to fix or order a new Joy Con. Flash forward a few months, and Nintendo & # 39; s Repair centers have been temporarily out of commission. New Joy Cons is hard to come by online. It is impossible to buy one; You will have to make a drill hole and maybe be willing to get the dice out of the unit used.
But now, it's been a while for me. Sometime during the above two months, I had a bad change in my mind – the one that has convinced me to hold on to the old iPhone model despite planned racism, or shut me down in a battle against my web browser (common sense), which now has so many open tabs that it makes any music I play that it always shines like in the middle of dubstep ancestors. When faced with an annoying tech problem, for some reason I think I have to put up with it and finally overcome it on my own. I will not make efforts to find this route. I'm a fool, and my tendency can sometimes be my death. In the meantime, I've decided not to replace my Joy Con. Anyway, here's what it was like to live with Joy Con Drift:
It's bad! And it gets worse over time. Once, in between Animal Crossing, I've been trying to do that cool thing where you knock on a compost hive and quickly catch all the bugs with your bug net before they have a chance to stab you. Just before putting in the net, my character turned in the wrong direction. Bears have attacked my face. It was very embarrassing. At one point, I made money in anticipation of putting a different amount of money into the outlet and grew a tree of money, and ended up filling the hole by mistake. Oh, and the number of times I made a wrong list and picked a dialogue? Countless. I study a Polygon
Someday, my replacement will be burned out or Nintendo will release a new console, and I'll have passed on both my Joy Con and the Joy Con Drift concept itself. After that I will get some kind of technology to calm down silently until it dies.
Recently, I resumed playing Dragon Quest XI. I always pick the wrong skills and spells in battle, and – because my Joy Con Drift has grown more and more since I started the game two months ago – my character he never stopped running. It's like he has a train to catch, and the only way he can come in time is when he presses his body against a wall that is as strong as it gets into it. At times, it looks like you're trying to escape from a simpler life, but the camera won't stop following you. Maybe he and I are not the same. However, I could not put down my switch without looking and double checking that I had stopped. I never knew where my character would end up.
What are they both Animal Crossing and Dragon Quest XI what I'm like is that they intend to relax, and I try to play it in cool environments- usually in bed or in bed. But with all this Joy Con removed a little annoyance means that relaxation is another thing that gets depressed in times when anxiety does not occur. Wrong! However I persevere, hoping that eventually I will accumulate until I can no longer see the myriad of mounting obstacles that linger over my invisible door. To some extent, it works; where my character shakes or turns slightly, it still doesn't bother me the way it used to be when my Joy Con Drift started to climb. Admittedly, that's because I'm now dealing with a very serious, related problem of Joy Con problems. However, here's how I'll win: Someday, my switch will burn or Nintendo will release a new console, and I'll have passed on all that Joy Con and the Joy Con Drift concept itself. After that I will get some kind of technology to calm down and die.
I have no one to blame for this other than myself. Oops, and Nintendo, who may have been hiding the whole Joy Con thing before it became a problem facing switch users' misery. But that's not here or there, like mine Dragon Quest XI character when I leave her alone for 5 seconds.
