Quintessential GG content. Misadventure involving a car. Defecation. The joy of Nintendo. Beautiful.

Fuck my life.


I hate car repairs/servicing/insurance.

Stupid woman put her whole body weight on my airbag on the steering wheel. Already cost me over $320

What kind of escorts are you picking up?

So much Internet drama on twitter.

Someone questioned DFs "sub-par" switch 2 display framing.

DF tweeted that the person didn't know what they were talking about.

Then Df posted a Japanese deep dive into the screen to prove their point about the guy being told he didn't know what he was talking about.

Then it was found once translated the Japanese article was overall impressed by the screen, saying "the image quality was like a high end gaming monitor"

Then when twitter questioned whether there was a panel lottery as they had analysed the screen with specialist equipment and it was nowhere near as bad as what was claimed, DF then changed their stance to, it may not be the panel but the way Nintendo is "running" it and it could be improved with firmware.

It's suspected by other people that battery life is being prioritised.

But John straight up said "the panel sucks".

I don't get it myself, the only problem I've noticed is that they won't let switch 1 games run at 1080p in handheld mode.

Certainly not sarcasm.  It's nitpicking, but my comment stands.  I can't believe nobody raised this issue up during development.  I recall the lights working properly in MK8, although I haven't checked...

As for Free Roam: I haven't played much of it.  I need defined challenges in my games.  Just giving me tools to enjoy myself without a clear goal never works for me.

edit: I'd love for a kind of Mario Maker Knockout mode level editer though.  I guess an AI driven knockout track creator would work well too, but Nintendo would never do that.

Hey Geek, Just so you know I'm not doing any Nintendo stories, that's your beat.  If you stop reporting on them let me know as I just glance at the sources now and figure you'll cover it so I leave it alone.

EDIT: Unless it is a quirky one like the one I just posted.

Jebus Christ. For the last few years IGN's news feed had been 70% F'n Marvel news. To quote Howard Stern, "Who gives a shit who gives a fuck?"

IGN has been desending into mass media coverage for over 2 decades now.  I don't think I've been there in the last 20 years.  What worries me most is that they bought over Eurogamer.  So far it hasn't impacted their spirit and work ethos it seems, but I can't imagine this to stay true in the long run.

Post whatever you like, I've only recently been following the news because of launch but might drop back.

A lot of people are complaining about IGN taking over Digital Foundry. I do wince at some of the IGN interviews where they drag Rich on. The interviewer doesn't seem to have any kind of grasp of even basic things.

Each P switch gives you a defined challenge.

In a broader sense playing free roam also unlocks mirror mode and new character outfits.

So I haven't been able to stop thinking about this video where this guy got a magsafe battery and stuck it on the back of his switch 2.

I get around 2.5 hours out of playing Cyberpunk.

I didn't buy that chunky thing up top. I went for the lowest capacity 5000mah one as I wanted it as light as possible and slim.

It's charging now, it's about the size of a credit card and comes with a magnetic ring sticker to attach it to switch 2 or whatever you want really.

The Switch 2 battery is a similar size so I should get 4 hours bare minimum playing an intensive game like Cyberpunk.

So the overall life would go from 2-6 hours to 4-12 hours?

I haven't personally experienced any game so far that gives the 6 hour battery life Nintendo had listed. Maybe for 2D switch 1 games?

The battery is only around 100g

Here's mine:

I probably will for that price. I've been itching to try out the mouse controls.

Welcome tour would be a better way to try it surely?
