It's a good quick time waster. What's good is that when there's an important event happening it tells you what time, such as when creators voice videos drop.
It has a lot of 3D rotatable views of hardware like the Switch 2 dock etc.
But the real good thing about it is grabbing screenshots for phone screen savers as they put up a lot of art.
Digital Foundry finally got around to see the better Cyberpunk Switch 2 footage.
To quote resetera as I havent read or watched it:
"DF is now saying switch 2 version is equivalent to the series S version, and at times just outright beats it, in its 30fps mode, in terms of presentation. That's a pretty big retraction from their previous stance of "its a ps4 level experience with ps4 levels of performance" to now say its far and away massively superior. Good that they corrected themselves. Game looks pretty great and i look forward to replaying it on the go (my first playthrough was on series X)"
Quote from their current video:
"There's a massive difference in terms of image quality"
"There's no contest. Switch 2 is in another league"

It's possible that the street date thing is a new source of friction. The original 3DS issue, if I'm not mistaken, was about the return policy for damaged units.
Any thoughts on Google's new AI video generator? Seems the Matrix got it all wrong. Instead of us humans believing everything digital to be real, we've ended up not being able to trust anything, real or digitial.
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.
AI fakery will drive me away from the internet. Reality is insane enough as-is.
To be honnest I only use official news websites to stay up to date, so this shouldn't affect me too much. Anything else I do online is usually game related, I doubt much will change there because any image is just a bunch of polygons and shaders anyhow.

I heard about some research a few weeks ago where they captured hundreds of hours of conversation between students (all GDPR compliant I presume) and one of the takeaways was that the classic joke is going extinct. In all that captured data, only 3 jokes were told. The assumption was that jokes just take too long and require too much effort both from who is telling it and who is the audience to gain traction in this modern day where the attention span is indeed not much longer than 5 seconds.

In my conversations with people under the age of twenty-five, this does not track at all. One third of the conversation is ironic language that turns even serious things into jokes, one third is traditional jokes, and one third is normal English of a very low standard that is completely serious and feels utterly out of place in a conversation that otherwise consists of ironic gibberish or jokes.
Then again, they have also usually been teenagers or if not then shit-faced on one or multiple legal and/or illicit substances.
Have you guys used the Nintendo today app?

How much is it?
Now it's still hard to buy Nintendo consoles from them on day 1.
Now I have to travel and hang around all day from a delivery for a retailer I hardly use that isn't flexible on shipping addresses.
Half serious. For any other company, I'd assume it's a free app, but it's Nintendo, so I'm not actually sure, lol.
At the very good its good for taking screen shots of the art they post to use as phone screen savers.
I don't recall them ever resolving the issue with the 3DS. It just seemed like the system faded away more than anything else.
I thought their beef was more current, since amazon is notorious for breaking street date.
I see, explains why Amazon was not able to accept preorders.
Buts it's a shit show when it comes to launch day Nintendo platforms.
I think the only Switch2 listing it had was actually sold by and through My Nintendo store.

Nothing sus.
