Game Under Podcast Ep 172
Doom, Clair Obscure, controversial news and a feature on the best format of the current gen.gameunder.net editorial impressions news aspro
From what I've seen, it looks good in small short clips. If you put things on a bigger screen or let it go for more than about 5 or 10 seconds, things start to break down. But in these days where everyone is getting their information on a small screen and rarely makes it past a headline, 5 seconds is all you need to fuck something up badly.
So yeah, I'm not a fan. No good will come of this.
This is probably going to be the worst part of the future. Yeah climate change going to be horrible but imagine not even knowing if it's real or not, if lies get so prevalent that humanity just quits caring. Governments can weapons this, rich people can, corporations can, scary stuff. Have you seen how a ton of ads on YouTube are complete AI bullshit. It's always some people claiming to run some company for 30 years but they are going out of business with a big sale. Shows clips of people working, using products, all fake. It's all garbage you end up ordering. It's wild.
This is probably going to be the worst part of the future. ... if lies get so prevalent that humanity just quits caring.
We don't need AI for that, we're already there. I know multiple people close to me who just gave up on following the news because it's just too much. There's this radio show that has a segment in which they ask the public to come up with new words and one week the question was: news that you don't want to follow anymore. Says enough doesn't it? Also: the word that made it was 'ews' which I found to be both clever and hilarious.
What did you guys use to carry your Switch about if at all?
I used something like this to carry it up and down the stairs and sometimes chucked it into a larger bag to take out the house. I can count on one hand the number of times I actually played it outside and I'm looking to change that with Switch 2.
So I've gone for a hard shell sling bag to use as a case instead. Something like above^
I didn't want something that looked like a game console case. The one I ordered has a built in padlock code unlock mechanism.
And it has a USB interior to exterior connection so you can have a battery in the bag and simply connect a USB cable to the side of the bag to charge your device.
The sling strap alone is going to make life easier. I'm always walking up at night holding various things and wondering if I'm going to drop something.
I never got any kind of carrying case for my Switch since I never took it anywhere. 99% of the time it sat in the dock as I played it on my TV. The few times I took it out was just to play it on my couch.
One thing I found with the OLED, because it's a better quality device with a better screen, speakers, build quality etc, I played it far more in portable.
I have used the day one BOTW Switch carrying case all this time and I hope it fits Switch 2. I am getting the minimum things for switch 2, I will use all the same controllers from switch 1.
Wtf, Switch 2 battery supports fast charging at 36w.
This is huge, why didn't they mention this? My phone is the same rating and it halves the charging time. It's not that it takes less time to charge, it's that a quick 15 to 20 min charge can significantly top you up to last the rest of the day.
I bought final fantasy 1 pixel remaster this morning. When I downloaded it, my switch said "you've downloaded a virtual game card!" So every digital game on the eShop is going to be a virtual game card? Interesting.

Yes it's converted all 374 games I have to game cards I can lend to other people.
I was reading that article about Switch 2s fast charging, then read this:
"Charging time is another curious point. With 36W input, you’d expect quick top-ups, but the company still says it takes about 3.5 hours for a full charge. That’s slower than some phones charge in 2025. Maybe they’re playing it safe. Maybe it’s a thermal design issue. Or maybe we’re just spoiled by phones. It’s hard to say."
What's going on here? My phone has the same 36w fast charging capability but charges in an hour.
Oh shit, I think, my phone didn't come with a charger, I had to buy a fast charger? Is Switch 2s battery fast charging but the power brick isn't a fast charging power brick?
I'll be okay as I have the right usb c fast charger already.

I almost got sidetracked into listening to "Ep. 014 Why Not 17 Vaginas?" instead, but I'm not falling for such obvious click bait.

Those were fun times. I need to get back on GU podcast, so many games to talk about. I will have switch 2 day one and thats fake E3 week.

I use a hard case compatible with the Hori Split Pad Compact controllers. It's much thicker than I was expecting but works well.
Why does it taste like gherkins?
Nice!
My Switch 2 case arrived.
It has a hard front, padded back, has a side slot for a bottle or accessories.
A security slot for your wallet.
A combination lock built in, various inside compartments and a USB pass through for external charging.
Good thing or bad?

Only MS can say, I think. Doesn't sound like it's doing as well as the previous games. It's my favorite in this modern trilogy.
American yellow mustard is awesome on hotdogs and ham sandwiches.
