Waffleopolis posted:I had a weird wifi problem. My router was password protected, but the switch would not pick it up. It was picking up neighbor's wifi routers...just not mine. I reset it and it finally worked. What gives? Most home routers are pieces of poo poo and do this on the regular. Someone brings device home and the router just checks out and won't respond to DHCP requests to that one, but the they renew existing ones. When in doubt reboot your router it probably sucks less you spent some good money on it.

Kawabata posted:I'm very happy that Nintendo chose to respect their fans and release BOTW for both the Wii U and the Switch but I can't help but wonder what this means in term of Switch sales. This is one of best (and best reviewed) game of all times, and other than for an increase of 180p in resolution it looks identical on the two consoles. Idk this has kinda been the case for the last several iterations of any 3D console. Oh sweet the old stuff is hella cheap look at all this stuff I never played.

Real hurthling! posted:Docked mode is probably hosed unless they start dialing back on cpu requirements in their games. Per digital foundry: Ooooooor 720P doesn't use the full memory bandwidth even at 1333mhz. This is kinda stretching it honestly. RAM doesn't use a lot of power there's just not a lot of reason to really downclock it when the screen & CPU/GPU are going to be like 80% of the power usage while mobile given what I know of it's max watts vs how much such things typically use. Edit: I'd want to hear this out of someone actually programing on the thing not some barely a nerd who can look at numbers and just start panicing.

s.i.r.e. posted:Except they actually play the game and analyze their own captured footage for frame rate drops? They said it themselves in the article: Dock & mobile have different rendering setups and ok the dock one is suffering in place when the other isn't. I believe that sure. WHY it's happening is complete guess work and my knowledge of such things makes me go "eeeeeh" But hey I expect this thing to have some quirks cause it's an overtuned mobile chip I can plug into my TV also. Long as it works I'm not going to care about 22FPS vs 30FPS. Hell soon as I actually get mine I'm SO not going to care cause I"ll be trying to have fun not stressing some dropped frames. Yeah it's annoying but if I don't want dropped frames I have a PC.

That did remind me since I woke up unusually early I said gently caress it I'll go buy some extra joy cons from Fred Meyer. About a dozen other unwashed nerds grabbing their systems & zelda when the guy right before me asked if they had the special edition or whatever it's called. When the lady behind the counter was all "0. regular game only" he goes off how he called and someone told him otherwise while getting pretty agitated. Whomever this lady was she has been doing this a while as she took on a pretty authoritative tone to tell the guy sorry miscommunication is there something else I can get you. Dude sat there for about 10s processing this before walking off. Please be nice to retail workers they don't care about our nerd poo poo.

katkillad2 posted:Already annoyed by a few things like no headphone jack on the pro controller. Also I started up the Snipperclips demo using the pro controller and apparently you can't play it with the pro controller maybe I don't know? The issue was, I lost all control with the pro controller, couldn't go back to the home menu or anything. So I had to get up and remove it from the dock just to hit the stupid home button. You almost figured out yes the demo at least doesn't use the pro controller. idk why, but just use the silly cons.

Your TV's wifi is messing up bluetooth, assuming this is what's doing it, because they're both in the same 2.4Ghz range with your microwave and all of it stomps on each other. I had an issue with my work laptop's connection turning to crap if I put my wifi enabled cell phone too close it it.

Megasabin posted:This is going to sound like a dumb question. I got my switch & zelda, but haven't unboxed anything yet. The SD card I ordered doesn't come in till tomorrow. Is it the the actual game install itself or the save files that go on the SD card? If I play Zelda will I be able to transfer my save over to my SD card tomorrow? Is there any reason I shouldn't start playing tonight with this situation? Play immediately. Carts have 0 reason to install to the system since it's just as fast. All hail our glorious cart er future. Patches do go into the system but that's where they're going either way so play play play.

I can totally see someone selling clip ons for the joycons that make them a hell of a lot wider. Even my medium sized hands find using the shoulder buttons a little efforty. I took the unit out today while I was stuck sitting around and God drat playing the same game on the go is awesome. Also Zelda is really really good, incase you didn't know.

BlackFrost posted:Random question: will any generic USB-C charger (like the one for my PIxel phone) charge the tablet reliably? I'd like to be able to bring a charger with me when I bring the Switch over to friends' and such, and it would be nice to just leave the dock plugged in 100% of the time. Maybe bordering on risk of frying the hardware.

We don't have VC yet cause this thing was kinda rushed out the door and the programing for VC isn't ready yet. Doesn't matter if the other systems have it they don't have the same hardware. So we will have to wait until they start talking, but it sounds like this time we're gonna get more than a trickle of games as I think they finally contracted that work out. Also don't talk to jivjov you idiots lol.

Oh I took the Switch to a friends bday party cause she wanted to see it. When I told everyone that people online were bitching Zelda looked kinda eh cause it was a little slow and had lower res textures they looked at me like I was stupid. Because people bitching about these things are stupid turbo nerds. Ps these were pc master race people.

Those suckers are rated at 10Gbits or more now, there's not a lot of reason to compress a stream over that kinda bandwidth. I wouldn't trust contact pins to maintain that over years of use.

Then I saw another shrine and worked my way to it, and the name of it was "A Major Combat Challenge" so I noped out of there pretty fast. Hey I just did that one too though I only burned through 2 weapons a bow and a couple foods. I took my time with it though sounds like you wailed on it.

Started playing Snipperclips alone and went hmmm no lets do this with someone else. Waited for the youngin to come over and told her to get over here we have a game to play. She fell in love with it instantly and the brief 30 minutes we played around were really fun. Play this game with someone else it makes it great.

If you want a good laugh go look at metacritic's negative user reviews. Lots of salty people who don't know how to have fun.quote:Very disappointed and returning game after 8 hours of play. maybe young children will like it but I just could not keep playing the oversimplified quests and puzzles as the game holds your hand throughout. no decisions or strategy involved. quote:Game overrated, no story, bad graphics, clumsy gameplay, bad enemies, little history, many secondary missions inecesarias, very repetitive missions, very few weapons, few costumes, open world and little interaction. I do not recommend it, disappointing. quote:90% of people will never replay breath of the wild.

enojy posted:Did Splatoon 1 support both gyro and analog aiming simultaneously? I can't remember, but I couldn't get into the controls. Loved everything else. If Splatoon 2 behaves like Zelda bow aiming, I'll get it. Splatoon and Zelda gyro assisted aiming works exactly the same so I think you just got more used to it since then. Some people did need to adjust the stick sensitivity in splatoon at first.

One Goon showed that his save files are on his SD card despite what nintendo said and I would bet good money moving saves is going to get patched in before the end of the year. Only reason they might not is they are hyper paranoid about getting hacked since that's pretty much how all their other systems got hacked up along with the internet browser. If that's the case yeah they better provide some cloud saves Soon.

Thank you VG for telling the console warriors to quit it. Trip report: been playing Zelda on the train while going around town and it is so awesome that I'll get home and put the same game up in my TV without skipping a beat. Battery is holding up well I'd easily I'd get over 3 hours given the drain at medium brightness/volume and airplane mode. Recharged from the pack at 11w from 67% back to full in an hour while occupied. Screen is still perfect after being put in a laptop pocket in my bookbag. Oh and someone said stand by drains too much, Idk what they are talking about I lost 1% in 8 hours when I put it in my bag before sleeping
