- Comment on Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off 10 hours ago:
The difference being 25 v. 30 is the murky side of DF here.
The game runs at 40fps on Switch2 in handheld and in docket with a 120hz display. DF chose to lock it to a 60hz display so the game would lock back to 30.
It’s disingenuous.

Impactfullted.
- Comment on The Switch 2's price won't be impacted by Japan's new tariffs, but its games might 1 day ago:
In some cases ‘they do’ (they don’t) as the tariffs imposed may well be enough to stop people buying X at 150-200% of normal price, if selling X to US was a big enough chunk of BizY’s business, then that does impact the target country, not just US citizens.
In all cases US citizens hurt, but in a few the target country does too.

THIS is technological fox news though.
90% of the article is wrong - it’s just dogpiling for clicks on ‘controversial topic’ It’s the Faux News playbook to a tee.

*Used to get free healthcare.
Dunno how it is where you are, but bulk billing GPs just don’t exist anymore in SA.

They’d have to have free healthcare in the first place…
- Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined 1 week ago:
because the intermission tracks frankly suck for the most part, and are just straight-line roads.
It almost feels like Nintendo are punishing the old meta of high acceleration/very nimble but no speed, using drifting and boosts to keep up speed.
- Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined 1 week ago:
At least from my experience the ‘random’ choice now just chooses from one of the three available choices, rather than the full list.

- Comment on They are so dumb they want to piss everyone off for a lousy 15 minutes 2 weeks ago:
South Australia it depends on the Award (like a default contract for a particular kind of work, it sets minimum conditions)
But at a bare minimum, if you’re working at a shift of 4 hours or more, you’re required to be given a 15 minute paid tea break.
If you’re working 5 hours or more, Add a 30 minute unpaid lunch/dinner break.(*minimum, 1 hour max if scheduled - max as otherwise it’s really just split shifts)

Modding community will never allow it, when Nexus allowed people to keep downloading old mods a bunch of authors decried it since they wanted the ability to remove a mod from the internet forever. It was ‘theirs’ (even though it’s just modified Bethesda data)

- Comment on Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting 3 weeks ago:
My first takeaway opening the box was WTF is going on with the speaker grille/fan intake?
Every phone/tablet has dust/waterproofing mesh, it’s standard. Everyone puts in on the inside layer of the device with the meatier grille outside it, so the mesh doesn’t get scuffed up or cut.
Nintendo had to think different and put the mesh on the outside. Good luck to the handheld players, luckily mine will live in a dock for eternity.

Is glass exploding even that much of a problem?
Dropping an iPad doesn’t even break the screen all the time and when it does it’s garbled.

First gen switches were broken through the connector for the joycons. Now it’s wrapped in 3 layers of plastic when live.
