Wii Sports was free

This sad, miserable, corporate slop is €15

Ok wow
All of Super Mario is on this game

Can see the whole level at once
Truly a masterpiece :')

[maiden tulip]

I ran my switch to 0%

and when i booted it back up

It had suspended my game right where i was

Pleasantly surprised me

[outer pollen]

That’s cool

[maiden tulip]

I was curious how long the last few % would last lol

You ever try to imagine what a 30° angle looks like?

@fading spade we get it

Stop repeating yourself

You said this less than 60 seconds ago

[solemn grove]

Yeah ima need everyone to calm down?

[pure bear]

okay that video is hilarious

this software is designed to torture north korean defectors while teaching them about western technology at the same time

Guantanamo Bay already ordered their copies

theyll scream for waterboarding instead

[orchid maple]

lmao not even 100 fps

[sinful cobalt]

[orchid maple]

I guess screw my 7800XT then

[solemn grove]

Get a load of this guy

[iron oak]

ew scalpers

its a childrens console (main auidence) so its super cringe to do that

[solemn grove]

Bro thinks hes gonna make profit

This shit available everywhere

[orchid maple]

UE5 moment

how is so called "performace" model detail make zero difference on FPS

76 avg FPS and 78 avg FPS

[sinful cobalt]

but...but +2 avg fps

thats ur performance mode

[orchid maple]

omg more performance

2 more fps

[sinful cobalt]

tbh its just marvel rivals that has shit fps xd

[maiden tulip]

What game is this

[orchid maple]

Yeah I know

[maiden tulip]

You're cpu bound

[orchid maple]

The game that "killed" overwatch, Marvel Rivals

[maiden tulip]

11900k is well

Old

Its why lowering your graphics doesnt do shit

[orchid maple]

Well it ain't dead yet

[maiden tulip]

I know but i'm just explaining it to you because you said rip 7800xt

[hardy merlin]

Game that came after Overwatch
Overwatch killed itself

[sinful cobalt]

Blizzard killed OW

[maiden tulip]

@orchid maple oc your 11900k

[sinful cobalt]

tbh i wanted to play that PVE mode in OW2

[pure bear]

rar8 crafting

[maiden tulip]

Also don't run frame generation as it will use more cpu @orchid maple

Increases driver overhead

[orchid maple]

Who run frame gen in a fps

[maiden tulip]

You literally were

In your benchmark

[proper basin]

Make game render 1 million jeffs to become gpu bound

[sinful cobalt]

sir that game is TPS

[iron oak]

Honestly from waht i've seen is people who have lower end GPUS

[orchid maple]

no????

[orchid maple]

oh right, i forgor

i rarely play rivals honestly, i just got a new monitor and wanna check

[maiden tulip]

Guess i misread then

[orchid maple]

i mean i want to upgrade my cpu for a while

[maiden tulip]

I saw frame generation delay

[maiden tulip]

Just oc it

Its an 11900k

Push it hard

[orchid maple]

then i need to upgrade my air con

i tried pushing it 5.3 with undervolt but it wasnt stable

and i dont bother figuring out

[maiden tulip]

Don't undervolt

[orchid maple]

cuz its already pushing too much heat out and

[maiden tulip]

For a 11900k you want more voltage not less

[maiden tulip]

Why'd you buy an 11900k in the first place then

It's like saying I'm gonna buy a muscle car but then complain the fuel economy is bad and drive it like a grandma as a result

[orchid maple]

cuz i used to be in a different room that doesnt have a weak ahh air con

[orchid maple]

i know
but i didnt get the 11900k just now, when i got it heat wasnt an issue in my room😭

[little cape]

siege x tomorrow

[magic agate]

When I upgraded last time I went with AMD due to the lower consumption/temperature, also to try since I only had intel before, don't regret it

Why not get liquid cooling? I think those release less heat (a good one)

[little cape]

havent played that game since 2018

ima play a match on siege x then never touch it ever again

is it placebo that i have less input delay in val

[worn dome]

its not

VGP will not carry Xbox Deluxe versions because they're code in a box

Bluesky · Jun 9, 2025, 5:54 PM

Only ps5 will have disks

[worn dome]

WE BANNED SPIDERMAN BTW

FML WHAT ARE MY TEAMMATES DONG

[deft bloom]

GAME

[worn dome]

my team's reason was "youre not the center of the world"

"we're not gonna play a certain why because of you" i just asked to play spiderman andddddd we banned him

[iron oak]

Sliderman has no team up now

[little cape]

you havent read the patch notes

spiderman is ass this season

picking him in comp is basically throwing

[worn dome]

why is he getting banned every single game i play

literally past 4 games i dont think hes been unbanned

[little cape]

eathan

youre in low elo

90% of that player base in that game sucks

they ban him because they have low iq

[iron oak]

I’m curious if things will course correct by season 3

[worn dome]

bruih

[little cape]

honestly the way how the devs are doing things

[worn dome]

why is bucky getting banned as well

[little cape]

i highly doubt it

[iron oak]

Devs surely will have seen how people like flats and other creators have reacted and try something?

And they seem to listen to those voices the most

[little cape]

i mean meh

theres so many issues with the game currently and they throw skins in our face to distract the player base

and most of the skins are meh

[worn dome]

let my boy go

[little cape]

they dont know how to balance characters

[little cape]

and with s2.5 there like "heres a jeff emote on your profile"....

[iron oak]

Yeah that was an interesting idea.

I like emotes

[ocean ore]

Hi

[iron oak]

But they really need to pick between sprays or emojis

[little cape]

from what the devs shown. They dont care about making a good game. They just want you addicted to it and never get off

because its a marvel title

meanwhile the game is worst than ow2 in every way (btw i hate ow2)

poor hero balancing, toxic community, poor reporting system where no one gets banned, etc

[orchid maple]

I have a 360 AIO, the cpu itself isn’t hot, but it throw a lot of heat out the radiator. My problem aint with the cpu getting hot, my problem is the CPU is making my room hot

The next cpu will def be a more efficient cpu then the current one, cuz rn the air con in that room can’t handle me and my roommate gaming at the same time

[mossy junco]

Get an industrial fan.

Put it directly below you on max speed and fly away

[maiden tulip]

Liquid cooling would do the opposite

And release more air into the room due to it being more efficient

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/survival-horror/for-us-it-really-is-dying-light-3-techland-admits-dying-light-2-lost-the-horror-lost-the-tension-but-says-the-beast-is-the-best-dying-light-that-we-have-ever-made/

[cyan pewter]

liquid coolers take the heat away from the cpu via water but that heat still has to go somewhere

fans take in cool air and push it through the radiator, transferring heat from the rad and out comes hot air

[outer pollen]

Dying Light 2 was so fucking trash genuinely upsetting

[maiden tulip]

Yep

[cold anvil]

Why call it the beast and not 3
To me it sounds like theyre trying something new and setting it up so if the game doesn’t do too well they can fall back and be like “oh that wasnt dying light 3”

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/756236913597219017/977609267194495116/gamer.gif

[worn dome]

holy

[cold anvil]

who is han and why are you saying we should eat them

[little cape]

fr i got it on day one and had a game breaking bug where i had to wait a month for them to fix

dying light the beast doesnt look that amazing either tbh

[little cape]

because it was suppose to be a dlc then they turned it into a game...

[cold anvil]

That makes a whole lot of sense

[little cape]

yeah i aint getting my hopes up for that

dying light 1 was perfect

[cold anvil]

My Steam family has both games, dunno if Im set on trying it out anytime soon

[outer pollen]

I just wanna play as Kyle Crane

[little cape]

https://tenor.com/view/dying-light-crane-when-dying-light-when-dying-light-when-when-dying-light-inviscrane-gif-19329580

[outer pollen]

Ethan or Aidan whatever his name is was too lame

[little cape]

dying light 1 is a gem 10/10 would recommend

[outer pollen]

I have a friend that loves to hate on it but dick rides starfield and avowed

[cold anvil]

[cold anvil]

I’ll consider this recommendation…

Any of ya’ll excited about the new FNAF coming out friday??? I genuinely cant find anyone who is as excited as I am and it makes me feel like an autistic child (I’m actually autistic)

[outer pollen]

I don’t play them but I like watching a no commentary playthrough

[cold anvil]

I can respect that

I sure can’t wait to find out why Edwin made The Mimic………

Well we know why we just don’t know the secret

I’m really excited because the devs seem really confident in what they made

[maiden tulip]

I need to see how it runs on switch 2 now

[little cape]

its like $4 on steam rn

unless the sale is over

[maiden tulip]

I own it already

On steam and switch

Pokemon fusion looks so fun

[pure bear]

heh didnt expect that here

its a fun game and you should use my sprites

[hardy merlin]

Oh noe
Nintendo will kill it soon

[novel umbra]

Has been out for a while

[solemn grove]

And heres a new one

Its always unresponsive for the first couple seconds

[bleak pike]

The switch 1 had the charge thing too

Also no RGB lol

[solemn grove]

Nah this is the worst battery out of all switches when it comes to how long it lasts

[mossy junco]

it's called booting up...

[solemn grove]

Lmaoo its already booted wdym

[bleak pike]

I'm on about turning on when charging

Despite it being shutdown

[solemn grove]

Ohh

[bleak pike]

It annoyed me a lot

[solemn grove]

So its not a setting?

[mossy junco]

so you absolutely need those few seconds? i mean like what is a few seconds gonna do lol

[solemn grove]

Its not cuz i like rgb but it would be cool to see the buttons lit up white when im playing in the dark

[solemn grove]

Its just annoying

[bleak pike]

It makes 0 sense

[solemn grove]

How lmao

[bleak pike]

You would be better with glow in the dark buttons than using RGB

[solemn grove]

Youre not getting the point mane Idc about the method i just wanna see the buttons when its dark

[bleak pike]

Why do you need lights?

[mossy junco]

if you play it long enough, you should just know which is which

[bleak pike]

It's like, impossible to not know what you're pressing.

[solemn grove]

Still would be nice to have

[bleak pike]

It just doesn't make sense.

[solemn grove]

Yes it does

[bleak pike]

Found your dream controller

[solemn grove]

Hell nah that’s ugly

[hardy merlin]

Fingerprint magnet

[solemn grove]

I just wanna see the symbols and shit

Doesn’t have to be a clear neon button tf

[bleak pike]

Oh here you go

Maybe this will be a thing for the switch 2

[solemn grove]

This would be fire

[bleak pike]

Oh that's a mod kit

[solemn grove]

But make it white

[bleak pike]

Requires butchering it

[solemn grove]

This is exactly what i want

Without the trigger/bumper lights tho

Just buttons

[bleak pike]

Still don't really see the appeal tbh

[solemn grove]

I use it alot in the dark

And the whole switch is already black

Its just too black and plain

[bleak pike]

Maybe you'll have options to buy

[solemn grove]

I mean it aint a big issue but its just something i thought to be inconvenient as i was using it

Biggest issue for me is the battery life

[small comet]

its so you can drain the battery faster

[bleak pike]

Handhelds for ya

[solemn grove]

This barely takes battery mane

[solemn grove]

Well they got it right with the old switches

[bleak pike]

Wdym old switches

[solemn grove]

I can already see their vision they either wanna release external battery packs or leave the battery upgrade for when they release the oled one

[bleak pike]

The switch 1 was a turd power wise

[solemn grove]

Regular switch, oled and lite

[bleak pike]

Lites battery was abysmal

[solemn grove]

All of em lasted longer than this

[bleak pike]

The switch 2 is a powerhouse compared to switch 1 lol

[solemn grove]

Yeah thats why they shoulda used a better battery

[solemn grove]

But then they cant do this

[bleak pike]

....

[solemn grove]

I mean it makes sense so

[bleak pike]

A better battery isn't saving the switch 2, it's simply a much much bigger leap.

[solemn grove]

Bruh they only upped it by 1000 mah

S2 is like 5000 mah, my damn phone is 4700😂

Can we be deadass

[solemn grove]

After 8 years mane

[solemn grove]

Dont me get wrong i love this switch but i cant defend them on the battery part, but i get it they wanna make more money by adding it to a future version

[solemn grove]

What do you want me to do with this

I dont care about the design, thats their job to work it out

If my phone can fit a switch 2 battery then they 100% coulda fit a bigger one

[hardy merlin]

Awwe, it's tiny

[bleak pike]

Switch 1

Battery size also doesn't mean anything if the software is bad

My phone is 6000mah but can last much less than a 5000mah phone

https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68272/~/the-battery-charge-indicator-or-percentage-displays-incorrectly-on-nintendo

[quiet vault]

i mean batterylife do be pretty bad

[solemn grove]

Ok tell them to fix the software then

[hardy merlin]

On first glance they could make main unit slightly thicker, stack PCBs with controllers, make more space for battery and stuff in 40Wh one
It'd be a bit more expensive, but 4~12h on battery sounds really impressive

[solemn grove]

Idk what youre tryna say, but the battery is booty cheeks

[small comet]

all i just read was add more failure points, add more failure points add more failure points

[hardy merlin]

[solemn grove]

Im sure they know exactly how to fit a bigger battery lmao

But its being saved for the oled one

And/or external battery packs

[small comet]

i dont think nintendo cant reasonably compete in the battery pack market given switch2 works with normal battery packs already

[solemn grove]

I mean their small and big carrying cases are both horrible for the price compared to alot of other options but they still sell em

And ppl ofc buy them

Not me tho

[hardy merlin]

I think they do
Same thing with HE sticks
"we can't make HE sticks because of magnetic attachments" my ass, 3rd party HE sticks work just fine

[pure bear]

https://tenor.com/view/original-nintendo-ds-it-prints-money-gif-16412407496436719444

[solemn grove]

And i could be wrong on this but i think their official licensed screenprotector seller hori or some shit sells plastic screenprotectors theyre garbage and expensive but people buy them

[bleak pike]

Eh it's still not the same as battery packs

[hardy merlin]

Hori is Japanese and used to make really good quality controllers and arcade sticks
But yeah, now most of their stuff is shite

[bleak pike]

It wouldn't make sense for them to enter the market

[solemn grove]

Maybe they'll get a third party to be their licensed seller

Same way game traveler and hori can sell using nintendos name yk

[bleak pike]

I doubt it

Btw, I hate Nintendo.

[solemn grove]

Maybe not but they are 100% saving a battery upgrade for the oled version

I know that for sure but the battery packs are a maybe

[bleak pike]

In case it came across I was a fanboy

[solemn grove]

Yeah it did

[bleak pike]

Rev 2 will probably get a minor one like the switch 1

[solemn grove]

How long did that take to come out after the first switch

And they were selling rev 2 for the same price? if so then hell nah they not doing that

Why would they add a free battery upgrade

[hardy merlin]

Nah, they are surely cooking OLED version now
More money for them
And given how HDR was disappointing in LCD version...

[bleak pike]

It was the same price afaik

It also patched the exploit

[solemn grove]

Yeah they not doing it again

[bleak pike]

Most products have revisions and don't increase

[solemn grove]

I hope it doesnt take 4 years cuz i want it

[bleak pike]

I think the 60he has like 4 XD

[solemn grove]

I wonder what rev 80he i have

[hardy merlin]

[maiden tulip]

We don't have any third party HE sticks for switch 2 atm

The hell are you on about

[hardy merlin]

On some Chinese forums they tested rewired Switch 1 HE sticks, they work just fine
So I guess it's just a matter of time until we see S2 ones

[maiden tulip]

Anyhow i wouldn't want to use them, the stock sticks are mindblowing

Better than my fancy gulikit kk3 max

[hardy merlin]

Until they'll start to drift

[maiden tulip]

If it's like my switch 1 and it's 7 years later i don't really care

XD

[outer pollen]

Baby balatro

[maiden tulip]

and i used the fuck out of my switch

[solemn grove]

And they fix em for free right

[maiden tulip]

I just bought a gulikit stick pack and replaced it in like 20 mins

[hardy merlin]

I gotta get playdate

[maiden tulip]

I know some people got very unlicky with stick drift

[solemn grove]

I already need an sd card

[maiden tulip]

But like... you can have a joystick last and be a standard stick

[scarlet marlin]

LETS GO!

[solemn grove]

Idk if 512 gb is the move or 1tb but 1tb is so expensive for no reason

[maiden tulip]

None of my sticks ever broke tbh like...ever

[outer pollen]

I’ve honestly just been playing Yahtzee on it all day lol it’s cute. Just a bit pricey

[little cape]

that because you out here breaking triggers

[maiden tulip]

so yeah you can make a good stick

[maiden tulip]

yep

Broke plenty of those

[hardy merlin]

RAQUEL! You're alive!

https://tenor.com/view/rpg-fudousan-anime-hug-gif-25527385

[maiden tulip]

in my whole life i broke 5 right triggers

[little cape]

i only broke one trigger in my entire life

[maiden tulip]

Always the right trigger

[little cape]

and that was ps5 controller with stupid trigger setting on

[maiden tulip]

It's my racism addiction

[little cape]

damn racist

[scarlet marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/lulu-emiru-hug-anime-hug-precure-hugtto-gif-1344601858236297190

[maiden tulip]

The more fancy shit they add in the controllers

The more i break them

[solemn grove]

And why is the samsung one more expensive is it faster or some shit

[little cape]

sandisk is the fastest iirc

for switch micro sd

[solemn grove]

https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/samsung-microsd-express-card-256gb-for-nintendo-switch-2-123685/

https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/microsdxc-card-for-nintendo-switch-1tb-120224/

So these 2 arent the only compatible options

[maiden tulip]

@hardy merlin im curious how unlucky have you been with sticks in your life

i need a comparaison point

[outer pollen]

Joycons?

[maiden tulip]

Just controllers in general

[outer pollen]

I had to replace 3 sets of joycons myself

Oh

[maiden tulip]

Including joycons

[hardy merlin]

microSDXC vs microSD Express, Express is significantly faster because it uses PCIe

[maiden tulip]

Cuz they're a controller

[solemn grove]

Is the samsung one the same one thats in the switch by default

But damn its 1tb for 120 or 60 for just 256gb of a faster one

[maiden tulip]

Genuinely i never saw a joystick fail before my right joycon and that took 7 years

Am i just an anomaly? Have joysticks always been shit?

[bleak pike]

He's

Yes

[little cape]

yes

[bleak pike]

Three of my friends have had drift on the switch

I had a bunch of Xbox controllers

[maiden tulip]

My vita's sticks are fine? My gamecube controllers are fine, my xbox controllers were fine, my wii u controllers were fine my wii controllers were fine

Trying to think of every single analog stick i used

[bleak pike]

I had drift on my psp

Pretty sure

[solemn grove]

https://americas.lexar.com/product/lexar-play-pro-microsdxc-express-card/

[maiden tulip]

I genuinely have never seen one fail

[bleak pike]

My PS4 controller has drift

[solemn grove]

Damn i dont think this is available for america

[maiden tulip]

My ps4 controllers were fine both of em

My wii u pro controller my gamepad

like i used a lot of sticks in my life and played plenty

[bleak pike]

It's because you break triggers instead.

[maiden tulip]

Indeed

But shouldn't the sticks go first?

[little cape]

apparently not the way you play

[bleak pike]

^

[hardy merlin]

I only had one problem with stick, on 1709 Xbox controller, but that's just because the rubber fell off, I replaced them with aluminium sticks and it works till today
My friend though had 2 pairs of Joy-Cons drifting like they got picked as main cast of live action Initial D
For me though - 1 DualSense, 3 Dualshocks 2, 1 Xbox 1709 controller, 6 Stadia controllers and never had any stick drift
Maybe only on Chinesium Dualshock 3

[little cape]

https://tenor.com/view/controller-gif-24179783

dashi when she plays ^

[maiden tulip]

I feel like it's probably just that manufacturing was meh for the switch's og sticks

[little cape]

[maiden tulip]

Like lets face it they were cheap fucking plastic

Actually guys i just realized something

[bleak pike]

I mean we can debate all day about this but it's real and on a large scale.

[maiden tulip]

I DIDNT BREAK MY NINTENDO TRIGGERS EVER CUZ THAT SHITS DIGITAL AND NOT ANALOG

[bleak pike]

It's a shame the court cases got nowhere.

[maiden tulip]

ITS WHY I HAD JOYCON DRIFT

[hardy merlin]

Best thing is that I actually got used to play on drifting ones in MK8

[bleak pike]

I don't think drift should be allowed

[maiden tulip]

I broke a trigger on a gamecube controller while playing need for soeed

:3

[bleak pike]

When even budget controllers have hall effect

[maiden tulip]

petition for triggers to not break anymore

[bleak pike]

I have a gamesir controller from AliExpress that cost me like 12 euro with hall effect sticks

12 euro

[maiden tulip]

My pro controller 1 is fine

[bleak pike]

And it's wireless using 2.4

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJhEOsS

How can companies get away with the crap they put in controllers in 2025

[maiden tulip]

So i feel luke im either super lucky

Or it's just the joycons being made like shit

I'm leaning more towards the joycons being cheap

[hardy merlin]

Not only HE, but there's also non-carbon-film potentiometers out there, like plastic-film
They have so much longer life and are about the same cost to produce
Why CF sticks are most popular - no idea

[maiden tulip]

Ok but if the CF one lasts like 10 years or somethibg

[bleak pike]

Oh wait no ye I paid less because of a new member deal

[maiden tulip]

Then does it really mayter?

If it has a reasonable lifespan

[bleak pike]

It's not reasonable though

[hardy merlin]

For one they last 10 years, for other a year, that's the problem
Plastic film ones have lifespan of 10~30 years instead

[bleak pike]

Just because you got lucky doesn't mean the issue isn't widespread.

[maiden tulip]

statistically

like

The chance of me being this lucky is almost none

[hardy merlin]

Is there one with PS sticks layout?

[bleak pike]

Isn't that being lucky

[maiden tulip]

And the whole idea of drift... never really took off until the switch release

[bleak pike]

No idea but ps layout is a crime

[maiden tulip]

Statistically improbable

[bleak pike]

Not true

Lol

[maiden tulip]

I swear i never even hesrd the term before sw1

[bleak pike]

Because it used to be called stick drift

Now it's just called joycon drift

[maiden tulip]

Why would we know about the red ring of death on the 360 but never hear about controller failures

I just feel like something ain't adding hp

[bleak pike]

But tbf

Products aren't made to last anymore.

[maiden tulip]

That's the real issue

Manufacturing quality

Lack of QA

I am 100% sure that this is why it wasn't as prevalent in the day

[bleak pike]

But it has always been an issue regardless.

[maiden tulip]

A minimal issue

[bleak pike]

I disagree 😅

Compared to now maybe less

[maiden tulip]

Oh talking about switch

[bleak pike]

Also apparently deadzones were built into the 360 controller? To combat that.

I have the lets go pikachu edition which was like later in the release uear, my brother has my og switch from 2017 launch day

He still uses the og joycons... they still work fine

[bleak pike]

Ewaste

[maiden tulip]

No drift lol

Just have me touch your controllers and give you a moumou blessing

@hardy merlin @bleak pike

[hardy merlin]

Nooooooo
My controllers don't drift

[maiden tulip]

mou now grants you unbreakable sticks and breakable triggers

[little cape]

what about the triggers?

oh shiii

[maiden tulip]

Those will break next time they boot forza

[outer pollen]

Kiss paw

[bleak pike]

Best controller I've ever bought

[little cape]

she was too quick with it

[maiden tulip]

It's the curse

[bleak pike]

Only my deck can drift

[maiden tulip]

Ok im going back to sleep now

bye wootgang

[bleak pike]

My deck joycon has always been off though

[maiden tulip]

evil valve they did this on purpose

[bleak pike]

The left one can be a little grindy, apparently it's the ribbon cable behind it.

[maiden tulip]

valve anticonsumer

[bleak pike]

I never bothered to fix it.

Or rma

[maiden tulip]

burn valve

gabe newell more like satan

[bleak pike]

Except I can replace the joycons easily

Or replace with hall effect

[maiden tulip]

I can do that with my switch

In 15 mins

point is wrong

[bleak pike]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nintendo-Switch-2-receives-even-worse-repair-rating-in-iFixit-teardown.1033180.0.html

[maiden tulip]

Be consistent with your positiobs

[bleak pike]

https://www.wired.com/story/ifixit-says-switch-2-is-probably-still-drift-prone/

[maiden tulip]

The main console is harder to repair

The joycons are relatively easy

[bleak pike]

Oh right that's true

[small comet]

my main gripe is that both the joycons and console use stickers now

[maiden tulip]

People already made cool sticker designs for customizability

[maiden tulip]

Yeah the rating is mostly about the console itself

Sw1 was nice and easy to mess around in

For the main unit

The joycons honestly it's about the same

For the sw1 vs 2

Its mostly annoying if you ever want to replace your battery for your console

[bleak pike]

Well

Fite me

[maiden tulip]

Like a sw1 battery replacement was super easy

Sd card reader? Did it too super easy

Hell wanna do a screen replacement cuz yours is all scratched up? You can just pop the lens out and put a new one in

Its why i never put a protector on my sw1 lol

So yeah im disapointed that the main unit is just one big condensed block instead of being a nice modular unit

But hey at least the joycons arent changed much repairability wise

[bleak pike]

I need to repair my pixel 7a eventually

Just feels so wasted

[maiden tulip]

Ok i need to sleep

Yall kept me up after i pissed

Its your fault

Night

me when i want to fucking sleep

[whole zephyr]

Someone to play some Broken Arrow

[novel umbra]

they mentioned in their joycon 2 teardown that HE sticks probably would not work because they attach with magnets

but afaik that should just calibrate out?

As a revenant player, this is true

[proper basin]

Executioner with a greatshield becoming a mini guardian is also a funny build

Did it with a poke stick and just tanked attacks

[sinful cobalt]

[pure bear]

happy goonin

[sinful cobalt]

i still have to wait till the 12th

but atleast i can pre-download the game

[outer pollen]

I love Yahtzee!

[trim rock]

Ah Steam preloads where it's faster to just delete the preload and download from scratch

[novel umbra]

have you heard of this weird thing called dice?

[outer pollen]

but then I gotta roll them and make loud noises with them

[novel umbra]

you tell me, I bought a 190g set for dnd this weekend

was surprisingly cheap

Every 100 coins unlocks a new vehicle. You'll need a total of 3k coins.

X · Jun 9, 2025, 6:34 PM

Is this something that would get patched or nah

Basically i wanna know if i should do it asap or nah

[orchid prism]

Seems very inefficient and boring?

[solemn grove]

Is it hard to get all the cars or nah

I thought it was some insane grind

[orchid prism]

It'll take time - Probably not less time than doing this. But you wouldn't be bored out of your mind.

[novel umbra]

these were just 34€

[orchid prism]

If memory serves you'd grab at least 20-30 coins a race normally.

[loud wigeon]

do they have a nice colorway selection?

[novel umbra]

https://greedygoblin.nl/collections/metal-polydice-dice-sets

https://greedygoblin.nl/products/metal-polydice-set-silver-with-multi-colored-mica-copy

[solemn grove]

I thought it was way worse nvm

[loud wigeon]

[novel umbra]

they fit my character quite well, it's a chinese inspired dragonkin from a different rulebook with blue scales

[narrow junco]

Thats a cool shop

Hopefully they dont scam me like dndice did

[scarlet marlin]

[proper basin]

[scarlet marlin]

[hardy merlin]

[solemn grove]

Worth?

[scarlet marlin]

if you wanna play the games, sure

[maiden tulip]

You already bought them

Why ask now

[solemn grove]

I can cancel lmao

[solemn grove]

But are they good for the price or could i have gotten em for cheaper some other way

[scarlet marlin]

I assume these are USD, and I dont know the value of what the games for second hand over there. 50 dollars for second hand seems kinda expensive but youre paying extra for a JP version I guess?

[solemn grove]

No? The ones i got in japanese happened to be the cheapest ones (with good reviews)

[scarlet marlin]

thats why I said I guess ;)

[solemn grove]

Yeah im letting you know they were the cheapest

But i couldnt find any cheaper on ebay

[scarlet marlin]

well then its up to you to decide if you think 50 usd is cheap ;D

[solemn grove]

It aint about that its about whether you can buy em for cheaper or not

[small comet]

imo over all a good haul if you play them all

[solemn grove]

Actually only way to get em cheaper is locally but all the ones around me are like a 1hour+ drive and im not doing that to save $10

[solemn grove]

Aight bet and yeah ima play em

[small comet]

i mean 3 of them are first party ninty titles.... those never go on a sale

[solemn grove]

I wanted a few physical games and i watched videos on a good amount of nintendo games and settled on the 5 i sent

[small comet]

so getting smash for 50% of the price is already quite good

[solemn grove]

And i dont know why metroid dread was the most expensive

[solemn grove]

Which ones arent besides astral chain

[small comet]

i thought metroid wasnt made by ninty directly this time round

[solemn grove]

All these games are $60 and $70 on the eshop maybe besides animal crossing i think its on sale rn

And theyre not physical so thats a downside for me

[solemn grove]

Oh metroid

Yeah idk why i couldn’t find it for cheaper than what i paid

[mellow garden]

I'm due a trip to a local used game store to get some of the patched Switch 1 games

[solemn grove]

And i mightve paid like $5 extra on a couple of these games to get the case

[proper basin]

good idea, got splatoon 3 for 42 total that way

[sinful cobalt]

https://youtu.be/uUo5gnaYB_w uhm black ops 6 just came out like what 9 months ago ????

[solemn grove]

I gotta see if i have one of those around me

[mellow garden]

I can't find the new pro controller in stock anywhere

[solemn grove]

But i dont think so

[small comet]

ive actually considered selling my botw cardridge and getting both totk and botw on switch 2 cartridge. from what i heard they work in the switch 1 as well and just run without the switch2 dlc

[mellow garden]

I sold my original Switch and few games back in 2020. In hindsight, there's a few I regret selling.

[fallow bronze]

isnt it a yearly franchise ?

[mellow garden]

I had the collection with Mario Sunshine that now goes for £60+ used in the UK... 🙃

[small comet]

lucky. its like 120eur upwards here

(i snatched one yesterday for 50 and then my gf told me she already had the game)

[mellow garden]

CEX sell Super Mario 3D All-Stars for £58 actually

Not too shabby

[small comet]

imo still worth it

you get 2 great games and mario64

[scarlet marlin]

sounds like a steal compared to here

[sinful cobalt]

The thing is this was Sledgehammer Games time and not Treyarch again

[small comet]

yeah exactly. i immediately snatched it when someone on marktplaats just wanted 50

english box as well not the cringe dutch one

[scarlet marlin]

i have no nostalgia for these games so I didnt even bother getting it

but that sounds like nice deal tony haha

[mellow garden]

I've not bothered checking eBay, yet.

[fallow bronze]

i cold not care less about cod :p

[small comet]

id honestly recommend sunshine and galaxy even without nostalgia

they are just good games imo

[scarlet marlin]

oh im sure! I just didnt had the urge to play a mario game atm

I still need to play odyssey too

[mellow garden]

The improvement to Odyssey is incredible

I will actually finish that on Switch 2 this time

[scarlet marlin]

maybe you can borrow me the game at some point

[hardy merlin]

Good gaem
Stable 60fps on Deck

[solemn grove]

I kinda regret buying the 2 zeldas digitally

[small comet]

why?

[solemn grove]

But i didn’t wanna wait for shipping i wanted to play smthn

[mellow garden]

I'll be getting Switch 2 copies of BOTW and TOTK

[solemn grove]

Cause i prefer carts i think theyre cool

[small comet]

i didnt know the deck runs it 1440p at 60fps

well i guess technically 4k but upscaled from 1440p

[hot spire]

i have jumbo dice for dnd, just for shits

[tough jay]

Also a fun one is the fidget spinner ones with all the dice on it.
But will say I amy or may not have too many dice...

[scarlet marlin]

[cold anvil]

they have 4 different studios working on call of duty games so theres like a 2-4 year development cycle which allows them to do yearly releases

[proper basin]

usually they swap whicdh studio does it, but treyarch/raven has done bo6 and now this right after

so they got absolutely crammed for time

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah but they always use a different dev studio for each release

[cold anvil]

ik they use diff dev studio each release

I didnt explain it well

[cold anvil]

trey arch are supposed to handle the black ops series but another one directly after is wild

if I were to guess this might be another mw3 situation

[sinful cobalt]

I mean this is the game that should have we gotten instead of bo6

[cold anvil]

I still have my concerns

[sinful cobalt]

Its gonna be a bo2 sequel

[cold anvil]

I have bo6 for ps5 and it was an alright game

[cold anvil]

Im aware, heard the rumors

[sinful cobalt]

The campaign was very good for bo6

Atleast i enjoyed it

Tho bocw was a lot better

[cold anvil]

Only reason I have bo6 is because my uncle gave it to me lmao
if he didn't I wouldnt have played it at all

last cod I bought was mw2 which I did like

releassed in 2022

not og mw2`

[sinful cobalt]

Mw22 was ass after mw19 and bocw

I did not played vanguard

[cold anvil]

I had vanguard cause it came with my ps5

not enjoyable to say the least

was ehhhhh if I turned my brain off and played mindlessly

[sinful cobalt]

I only played on the free weekends xd

[cold anvil]

only reason mw22 was good for me is cause I never played mw19

I played bo4 on my brothers ps4 when it came out, did NOT like it at all

worst part had to be the weapons

I feel like bo3 did futuristic weapons wayyy better

[grizzled quarry]

Cant wait for yet another flop, and for them to make aim assist even stronger

[grizzled quarry]

At least you could move fast unlike 2022

Mw2022 was awful

[cold anvil]

I liked mw22 gunplay

[grizzled quarry]

It was awful bro what😭

Randomized recoil, insane gun shake, tons of muzzle smoke/flash. All of which only affected kbm players because AA isn't bothered by that

Ttk was way too fast

[cold anvil]

I played on controller

[grizzled quarry]

98% of guns had giga slow sprint to fire

[grizzled quarry]

Makes sense

Everything that made the gunplay awful was counteracted by aim assist

[hardy merlin]

Serge X? A butler who worked for Madame Céline Villeneuve Desgoffe-und-Taxis?

[autumn spindle]

Yea season update with gaming changing mechanics

[fading spade]

If you sell a switch 2 game card to someone else
Can they use it too?
Or is the license there just single use?

[maiden tulip]

Cuz they had a shit ton of units in stores that werent sold online

[maiden tulip]

yes its just like a switch 1 cart

[fading spade]

I'm surprised Nintendo allow that

Thought it would be the same as a digital game
Once you slot a game key in to the console it would move the license to the console so the game key can't be sold to someone else

Was certain that the secondhand market for switch 2 games was dead on arrival if all games are just keys now instead

[tough jay]

Nintendo is pretty conservative around these things, situation on the other consoles is not much different.

[hardy merlin]

All that changed is that you don't have game files on cart anymore, you have to download it, but physical collections are still valuable
So... still sucks but less

[tough jay]

Given the costs of game cards themselves it makes sense that they went down this road. Or at least made it an option. Besides most games, not sure if I would play them without day-one patches and all that.

[hardy merlin]

Nah, Samsung's 128G NAND chip costs like 5€ or something, this wouldn't cost much at all

[tough jay]

Not when you buy them from nintendo in the form of blank switch carts. Still combined with the retail chain it does add up.

[hardy merlin]

Ah, Nintendo being greedy is quite another thing completely
Whole blank cart wouldn't cost much more, it's just memory chip and contact pins

[maiden tulip]

It's something like 16usd

Iirc

[little cape]

how do i refund my money from rivals

[small comet]

there definitely is games with gamefiles on cart.

they would get sued to obivion for that

@young hill

[iron oak]

LOL

[little cape]

what is even the point of game key card for switch 2?

[trim rock]

So you have something physical

[hot spire]

to goto a store

[orchid prism]

Ownership item.

Just like what game discs have been for ages.

[hot spire]

Tons of people are cash only

especially kids

[little cape]

just buy the normal game cartridge then?

the gamekey one is something you download online and saved into the switch 2 storage

https://youtube.com/shorts/CXjUh-XijIY?si=MBA5j_uRomoZz68n

[hot spire]

its a card with a code for a game

[orchid prism]

Right. So what we just said. It's just an ownership token.

You can pass on the card to someone else down the road. Can't pass on a digital license to someone else.

[little cape]

with virtual game card sharing you can.

[hot spire]

you cant resell digital games

[orchid prism]

I'm not talking about sharing. I'm talking about selling or giving away games.

[hot spire]

you can resell keycards

[little cape]

thats true

[hot spire]

its the best option

on PS/Xbox you can buy boxes that only have a game code in them, that are one time use

game keycards are better in that whoever has the card can play

[orchid prism]

Yeah. It's basically the modern version of a game disc. Cause those haven't had the full game, ready to launch in most cases for quite a while.

[little cape]

game keycards giving me xbox 360 ptsd with disc 1 and disc 2

[orchid prism]

On one hand it sucks not to be able to install and run a game without internet anymore. On the other hand - No more 6 DVD disc games on the 360 (Looking at you Blazblue)

[hot spire]

idk why they dont give you dual sd card slots these days

[pure bear]

if only usb drives existed

[hot spire]

usb drive hanging off your swtich?

[pure bear]

mansen was talking dvds

ofc sd card is better if size is a concern

[orchid prism]

Manufacturers and publishers want to pay as little as possible. And SD cards and whatnot are still more expensive than just bandwidth - and they retain full control.

[pure bear]

i was thinking desktop pc

[hot spire]

yeah the swtich has the same issue as 360, games are bigger than the biggest cart size

[pure bear]

yeah its just greed and control

[pure bear]

then they need to up their shitty memory controller if they cared which they ofc dont

[hot spire]

nothing to do with the controller though

[pure bear]

then make the carts bigger. you get my point. they could easily support it if they cared but ofc they dont

[hot spire]

512 gbit is a big flash module though

though i bet we will see 1024+ module at some point

the og swtich was only 256gbit

[little cape]

its all about cutting cost and putting out lazy work

greedy 🤬

[small comet]

nintendo said its about publishers wanting to have physical shelve space being taken up by their games on the platform but not wanting to pay for the rather expensive game cards the game can fit on

(if the game can even fit)

i kinda believe nintendo as we have seen similar stuff on xbox and ps already way before nintendo announced this for switch 2

[hot spire]

it's 10000% better than one time game cards that cose the same

[small comet]

thats sort of what i hated about how xbox and ps handled these with paper inserts where the disc goes and a code

like gee thanks

[maiden tulip]

no

Rn it's the opposite

Most games are way smaller than 64gb

Meaning buying a 64gb cart for em is a waste for the publisher

If the game is only 2-4gb

[hot spire]

there are multiple sizes

[maiden tulip]

Not for swW

Sw2

Sw2 lowest is 64

Or key card

[hot spire]

as s1 carts work in s2

so how cant they just use the existing chips

they dont use pcb anymore for s1 games either

its just single chip

[maiden tulip]

Indeed but that's besides the point

I'm talking about switch 2 game carts

The new red ones

[hot spire]

no mario is on a 32gb

[maiden tulip]

Heard it was on a 64

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2025/05/rumour-new-leak-may-explain-why-so-many-switch-2-physicals-are-game-key-cards

Shits just not clear tbh

https://youtu.be/ikvadE6pYCI?si=87rBpu0HoDTVZz3W

512/8=64

Closest theory we have technically

[tough jay]

I wonder a cost factor could also be games must be able to run from the card, requiring faster transfer speed, so some cost over the cheapest chips

[hot spire]

i mean internal memory is fastest

then good sd cards

then game carts

[maiden tulip]

The carts are damn fast

3 sec difference in mario kart world between internal and cart

20 vs 23 secs

[small comet]

i thought the carts are basically just pcie connected storage

[hot spire]

S1 dose 100MB/s over sd

[hot spire]

8 bit SPI

[maiden tulip]

Sd express is

[hot spire]

with the S1 the smaller intenteral storage ones are slower than SD

[small comet]

i meant the game carts

[tough jay]

I mean connectors are one thing, but can't imagine the nand out of a € 8 sd card performing the same refardless of interface. If the requirements of storage hsve increased stands to reason the fame cards are faster too

[hot spire]

the game carts use a 8bit wide serial bus

[small comet]

has it been confirmed that switch 2 also does this?

[maiden tulip]

No

[hot spire]

someone has to try a m.2 to sdexpress adapter

[maiden tulip]

Already a thing

[hot spire]

its pin compatible with s1

[hot spire]

someone tested it?

[maiden tulip]

Ywp

[hot spire]

i know the exist

[maiden tulip]

On chinese forums

It does work lol

[hot spire]

but is it fast

[maiden tulip]

No idea

[tough jay]

Okay so maybe not thag strict on speed, seems like it could very well be slower storage, but loading times are not the clearest test.

Of you can transfer the file to internal from micro sd and game card you could probably make a good comparisons and guess

He was gay

[worn dome]

Worth or no

[pastel bolt]

It was worth it before EA killed it

twice

[tough jay]

Last I played it it was, in 2009 generally if it is still alive expect a small die hard playerbase stuck in their ways.

Good opening sales

[pastel bolt]

Yeah it peaks at like ~400 players nowadays and they're all super sweaty

[hardy merlin]

Impossible
Who would've thought people will buy the console when there's enough in stock for everyone?

[mellow garden]

Redditors in shambles

Almost outsold lifetime Steam Deck sales in half a week

[pure bear]

ofc it does its nintendo

[orchid prism]

Indeed a given. Not like Valve's a game studio. Nintendont have lots of first party titles.

[vapid lintel]

Cries in L4D2

[orchid prism]

[pure bear]

nintendo could release a pressed square of rat poop and it'd be a top seller

[hardy merlin]

Also Nintendo is more of a household name than Valve

[pure bear]

its actually wild

what market power nintendo commands

[hardy merlin]

But it won't lose value

[outer pollen]

I hope Splatoon Raiders is either an extraction shooter or a battle royale

[digital dawn]

why do you hate video games?

[hardy merlin]

The only good extraction shooter with actually good anticheat was closed after 3 seasons
RIP The Cycle: Frontier

[digital dawn]

I really hope ark raiders is good

embark hasn’t missed yet

[hardy merlin]

They only made The Finals

[digital dawn]

and it’s good

therefore they haven’t missed yet

[hardy merlin]

Now it's good
On release... not so much

Aren't they like a subdivision of Nexon though?

[digital dawn]

release was better because it had bank it

[digital dawn]

yea

[hardy merlin]

I'm a pinguin gamer
On release it didn't work on Linux
Now it does
Therefore better

[outer pollen]

I’m the Anti-Gamer

[outer pollen]

I clown on my friend over that game

[orchid prism]

More like the Ant Gamer.

[pure bear]

we need more ant games

i would like to know context

[hardy merlin]

Okay, Embark based
Made fixes to Proton for ARC Raiders even in Closed Tech Tests

[hardy merlin]

https://www.reddit.com/r/triples/comments/1cx6s1l/240521_triples_girls_never_die_ants_are_walking/

[trim rock]

Yeah either someone at Valve or Codeweavers really likes to play the finals (and maybe arc raiders) or embark has some contact because whenever they break the game on wine there's a fix in proton experimental bleeding edge by the end of the day

[pure bear]

some valve dev that really likes it sounds more likely :d

[hardy merlin]

Or they just have Linux guy at Embark
Either way, am happy

[scarlet marlin]

Finally, I have them all @maiden tulip @proper basin @outer pollen @hardy merlin

[outer pollen]

Whaaaaaa!!!!!

Best one in the middle

[pure bear]

bruh how much is that

20000€

[scarlet marlin]

if I had the english versions probs

[lone oasis]

I do want to compare them to mine 😋 as often the Japanese cards are higher quality compared to the English ones, especially if they were printed in NL

[scarlet marlin]

the man really got a god pack

[lone oasis]

Best part is, first box I opened from prismatic evolution (SPC) and after 2 JT booster bundles, so third box after 20 years of not doing pokemon cards 😂

[pure bear]

rae the cards even any good or are they just for looks

[scarlet marlin]

any good as for the card game?

personally I just collect time cause I like how they look + I like the pokémon

[hardy merlin]

And because you're weeb

[scarlet marlin]

yes thank you fellow weeb

[hardy merlin]

[scarlet marlin]

[quiet vault]

thats unfair

ben & jerrys op

[outer pollen]

Ben & Jerry’s is too strong

Especially the non dairy option

[bleak pike]

@vapid lintel see! XD XD

[lone oasis]

damn weebs

[vapid lintel]

$15 gives you 3 hours of fun at an arcade, welcome tour looks sad

[hardy merlin]

Let's be honest, they could bundle it with MK:World

[vapid lintel]

$15 for three hours of fun is a pretty good deal

[lone oasis]

something else i can do for three hours for free and has free arm training

[quiet vault]

more space for frog

[vapid lintel]

*69%

[vapid lintel]

You should talk to your doctor

[quiet vault]

i cant process that

[vapid lintel]

By the way @bleak pike you advised me against picking up Dune Awakening and I'm pleased to report that I firmly ignored that and had a bunch of fun so far with it 😛

[orchid prism]

Still holding off for a sale...and first person mode. I just can't get used to over the shoulder games.

[maiden tulip]

Rip your wallet

[orchid prism]

Also some... curious bugs and gameplay tweaks needed. Why have a one person ornithopter in the first place, but let players stand on them in flight as passengers.

And why allow ornithopters to coast, when that's something they've never been shown to do in books or movies (as far as I can recall at least)

[silk zephyr]

iirc it’s mentioned in the books at one point

[hardy merlin]

Mornin

[vapid lintel]

there's a few oddities but all in all a good game, lots of fun

[maiden tulip]

Holy shit

[vapid lintel]

The worldbuilding tension is really great - there's an actual sense of fear and adrenaline when traversing the deserts

[orchid prism]

Oh? I genuinely don't remember that at all. Fair enough if they did. Just feels very weird gameplay wise.

[silk zephyr]

I’m not 100% but I seem to recall something about it when the concept of Heart Scallops was raised and how they’re used to power ornithopters, and how the wings are treated as an extension of itself and all that

I do agree it feels weird in game

[orchid prism]

Not as a means of conserving fuel.

In the game you can turn off the flutter and just coast forever to use less of the fuel resource.

Which feels and looks REALLY weird.

[silk zephyr]

Yeah you’re waiting for it to start fluttering but it never does

I felt like I was about to lag out/crash when it was just coasting…
