@Gribnit I ask because if all you'd got was 1-2-Switch or Snipperclips then they'd be pretty damn unlikely to be excited about it, but Breath of the Wild and Odyssey are totally different stories.
Odyssey didn't nearly excite me as much as NSMB did on the Wii[U]. I've contemplated getting a Switch just for Breath of the Wild, but it did seem excessively expensive to buy the whole console for one game I really want.

Goddammit, not this error ag-wait, what?
Wouldn't it be nice if it had put the path in the text box instead of the title? So you can read it?
Ctrl-C should copy the contents of the message box (including title) to text representation into the clipboard, so you can get it that way.
This trick should work on all standard message boxes using the Windows API.

@Tsaukpaetra I don't think that's the driver, sadly...
I'm going to fuck around with the sticks tomorrow. This really puts a crunch on the build, I don't want to order more RAM this close to Christmas (since this is a Christmas gift).

You're not playing the right Odyssey.
Tbh, I don't actually know if it's any good. I suspect not very. I never much cared for Ass. Creed. But as a certified no-lifer I have hots for Kassandra. And all that Greek stuff reminds me of Xena.
"She was Kassandra, a mighty assassin forged in... offices of Ubisoft Montreal, really. The power, the accent, the danger. Her story will change the... shareholder value."

Status back after going to an "agile tour" yesterday.
Either I grossly misunderstood all presentations, or most developers are so incapable of critical thought that someone saying "we tried Scrum-by-the-book and it didn't work, however when we tweaked it a little bit to follow the spirit and not the letter, we got it to work" passes for a top presenter with deep insights.
Also, it seems that for most developers it's a revelation that a job like e.g. Scrum Master is actually a people's job that requires people's skills.

I need to clarify: I have neither console, but been playing that at a friend's. That works much better for two-player games, though, so I'd need to get a console to play Zelda.
That's either 220€ or 396€ for a single game. Well, I could get it on the Wii U and NSMB and Mario Kart. Hmm...

Status: What fresh hell is this:
Edit: Apparently 'Any CPU' decided 32bit mode was 'any' so it was hitting the 2GB process limit. Forcing it 64bit has done the trick.

That probably won't run on a Raspi, which I've long intended to buy too, one day... Curious how much it will stutter when I run the emu on my Win7 VM on Mac.

Just hit the coasts. The entire middle of the continent is already hot uninhabitable glass.
With cost savings like that how do you feel about becoming PM? I hear there might be a vacancy soon in Britain.

I'm referring to the detail, colours, etc. that make it look so realistic. I'm just not quite there.
From what you posted, it looks like the main thing you need is more value contrast. Make the dark areas darker and the light areas lighter and that should help.

Status: So the next issue (although somewhat expected this time) has reared its ugly head. The floor under the bathroom is water damaged and needs a full replacement. Thankfully this is something that goes on my home insurance, so the added cost shouldn't be that big. Just more of a delay as I need to file a bunch of documents and get a separate offer for the floor repairs from the construction firm to send to the insurance company before they can start.

I really wish there was anything I could do for her at this point but there's a week until finals.
If she's anything like every lab partner I had in college, the "do for her" is "all the work, because they're hopeless and you don't want to fail".
The free hand of the market will sort things out once those lab partners get into the workforce.

@dcon This is the error that prevents me from using ~70% of UWP apps - some permission error or other, that MS support has narrowed down to 'just full wipe and reinstall, which will coincidentally fix the stuff we fucked up in the process'. I've seen it on several apps and posted about it many times, but this is the first time I've ever gotten it for Skype.
Oh, I thought you were trying to directly access it... Yeah, running the app definitely shouldn't do that!
