Video expert on getting perfect settings for Switch 2 HDR brand by brand with easier practical steps.

https://youtu.be/_BmkMcaqpX8?si=m_AqJu4IFM77YXeB

So I don't have HDR problems, there's actually an easier fix just by adjusting the test pattern.

But the experts were saying there was a perfect way to set it so I just tried it.

The one problem I was having was Cyberpunk on the Toshiba outputs at 4k, but on the Samsung the tv was displaying at 1440p.

Using this guys tips, simply turning on game mode has it now displaying at 4k.

But to get the HDR test the way he says to do it is to turn off all sorts of stuff that affects the test pattern.

I did all that, I set the HDR calibration. And the result is that it looks worse than what I had before.

However some cretin came in to use the tv before I could switch all those enhancing options back on.

I'm hoping that will get it to looking better than the way I had it before. If not this guys settings aren't worth it.

Simply leaving the test sun on the left more solid and not setting the brightness too high in the switch 2 calibration menu does it all in an easier way.

Digital Foundry complained about the DLSS image quality in FAST Fusion so Shinen released a pure mode patch with no upscaling and it uses Dynamic Resolution scaling.

Resetera have tried it lol:

Be careful what you ask for I guess but what's nice is this user did a couple of awesome slider option screenshots that really show what DLSS can do:

I managed to use this website to buy USA Nintendo eshop credit and used it to buy Dying Light Ultimate which isn't on the European eshop because its banned by the Germans where the servers are located.

If you guys ever want to get a game.from a different region eshop it's not too bad.

You need a different email address to your main account. You just select your desired region on the Nintendo website accounts page to create an account and they send you a confirmation code.

Then you create a user on your switch.and link it to that foreign account you created by signing in.

Then to buy you have to buy an eshop card from a site choosing your desired region. They email you the code in seconds.

https://www.pcgamesupply.com

I used  this site which was recommended by reddit and Trust pilot. It worked.

The Japanese one is a bit more difficult so I used the Google translate lens to translate anything the camera can see.

I seem to have unwittingly started the Phantom Liberty DLC in Cyberpunk 2077.

It's on the main menu as an option, so I was saving it for after I beat the main game.

But it's been seamlessly integrated into the game. You receive a holo call and then after some neat traversal you end up in dog town.

People seem really pissed off at the Mario Kart World updates claiming that if you choose random in online racing you're less likely to get a classic three lap race track in favor of tracks that transition from one track to another. Its crazy how riled up some people are over this. Should Nintendo patch in a classic track mode?

I don't really like the repeated lap tracks.

Need to try more MK8 Booster course tracks. Some of them feel quite cheap.

I’m fine with either track type in Mario Kart World myself so that update doesn’t bother me.

Yeah, some of them were just ported over from the mobile game.

I actually prefer the track style in MKW.

Going back to MK8 they can be quite demanding with twisty turn after turn.

They are better designed tracks for a racing game, but I prefer bombing around larger tracks dodging things.

I didn't even know you could do 'classic' tracks in VS mode.  We never bothered much with VS mode in MK8 so didn't pay it any attention in World.  I tried some this morning, and for me, it's more enjoyable.  The way they've handled the Cups make little sense to me.  It mimmicks knockout mode, but it's just divided into 4 'chapters'.

I tried a few of the tracks and while they were enjoyable, they seem shorter than the tracks in MK8?  So far there's also nothing that matches something like Shy Guy Falls in terms of spectacle.  I guess that's the flip side of the coin of having created a full interlinked world to traverse.

I don't mind the wider track design per se, it's clearly designed to accomodate the pure chaos of 24-player mayhem.  I do feel that World is a very different game from MK8, where the developers clearly focused on magnifying the chaos element in favor of the actual racing.  Both are valid, but I feel that outside of Knockout mode, I would have prefered tighter track design.

I just want the ability to drive off any cliff and engage my wings.

That's when free roam feels the best.

I tried Dying Light playing handheld on Switch 2

Really good game, perfect for me. It's like a better version of Zombi U.

I assume it's probably running at 7w0p handheld but it actually looks decent enough to be played in handheld mode.

Really excellent port and the switch 2 unlocks free performance updates, beast mode like with Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Love the first person viewpoint and interesting characters. The parkour seems like it could be finessed. Needs motion controls for camera that would make it better.

It's $9.99 on sale right now. Definitely get it if you have a switch 2 and you're looking for something to play on it.
