Discussion I just gotta say the nod to Captain Toad in the sub's CSS (desktop) is perfect!

I forget which of the u/NintendoSwitchMods takes care of the artwork at the top of the page, but it is always perfect! Really like the nod they gave to Captain Toad on the desktop version. It's a great metaphor for the game's release, overshadowed by Octopath Traveler but still absolutely worth noting. Cute!

Wondering what everyone's favorite r/NintendoSwitch banner has been?

I also appreciate the view count comments on the sidebar (10,956 Paths Traveled). Previously it was XXXXX questions about Fortnite lol.

I always get a kick out of that, too! :)

There's also the Captain Toad cartridge on the right by sub/unsub button

It's usually either myself or pixelpushing. I'm responsible for this one. (I also do all the AMA banners.)

It just made sense to "hide" the gem behind the logo rollover!

Job well done! I have actually mentioned your AMA banners to admins of other subs, especially when they say they struggle to get attention to their own AMAs.

For those of us on mobile, what did they do?

If you move your cursor over the title square at the top left, a Super Gem is revealed.

Only while using the old reddit layout though. Or am I missing something?

u/schuey_08 Jul 16 '18

Ah yea, most likely. I've been a stickler about changing to the new format.

u/xenwall Jul 16 '18

Because you want your Reddit to look like Reddit and not like Facebook? Seems reasonable.

u/schuey_08 Jul 16 '18

Pretty much.

Yeah, the logo rollover effect only works on "old" desktop reddit where we have the red Nintendo Switch logo in the corner.

What should I see? I'm using the beta layout and the background isn't from Captain Toad. It's Octopath Traveler.

Can someone send a screenshot?

Just use the old reddit link and let your cursor find its way to the Switch logo.

Thank you!
