Nintendo Switch

[...] It's wild that I can turn on the xbox, wait 20-30min for mandatory updates, then need to re-sign in or occasionally reset my wireless mac address due to some bug, then re-sign into my Xbox account even if I am fine playing offline but of course I forgot my password so now I'm on my phone doing 2FA to remember which email I used to reset the password. Then I will need to update the game I want to play (somehow FIFA 23 still requires updates?), then re-sign in to EA whose password of course I also forgot so now I'm on my phone resetting my password for EA. [...] Not to mention that once the Xbox itself is working it will be running slower than the Nintendo Switch I own which is only about 2yr newer than it. [...]

Nintendo Switch cartridges don't have this problem, mostly. [...]

[...] My kids when they watch tv they completely disconnect: I have to pause the tv to ask if they want to eat something or they won't hear me, so of course we drastically limit that one (I didn't have that problem, is that because I watched way more tv than them?) At the same time, I don't let my kids play any videogame on a tablet or phone because I am a gamer and I recognize that quality of games on phones is terrible, it's an attention grab (there are exceptions). I do let my kids play videogames quite freely though (nintendo switch, sometimes steam games). [...] I sat near her, working from my laptop, she cuddled against me and proceeded to tell me everything she was discovering and her thought process to solve some of the more complex levels. [...]

[...] My OG Nintendo Switch connects to the PSK SSID on my two OpenWRT Ones that's using what OpenWRT calls 'sae-mixed' encryption mode. [...]

It's not designed for anyone to go though - Yesterday I setup an Nintendo Switch for my Uncle. [...] enter your wifi and password 4. select your wifi (why 3 didn't do this I have no effing idea) 5. [...] The purchase button is off screen after a bunch of legalize before it and no indication you need to scroll down 19. [...] The Switch home screen assumes you're using both controllers. [...] It displays a screen showing you to hold the controller down and press the top button (X), but also on that screen is a generic, "press (A)" to continue this dialog. It's a very poorly designed screen giving to conflicting directions. [...]

It should be legally required that apple release the drivers and spec sheets and signing keys for their hardware such that i can build my own drivers and run linux on my iPhone and airtag and macbook. [...] Same for my closed-source fridge, air conditioner, and nintendo switch, all of those should be legally compelled to allow running any software. Bundled hardware+software should be illegal.

I've been running this[0] for a few years now, moved it a couple of days ago to a portainer VM on proxmox with 6GB ram, its running perfectly fine for 3 of us, and works fine from tablets and PC. Can also run on the nintendo switch if you setup a cname to redirect to your server IP, i.e: mco.lbsg.net x.x.x.x play.lbsg.net x.x.x.x Then choose the "Lifeboat" server [0]

I can still play the games I bought on the nintendo switch 8 years ago. [...] I cannot play any of the digital Wii games I bought. [...] You pay the same price as a physical copy, using the same verb, and yet are actually renting for an undisclosed amount of time that may at any point be cut off. [...] how much money a company has is unrelated to whether they violated consumer rights or not Billion dollar companies are less sympathetic. [...]

I can still play the games I bought on the nintendo switch 8 years ago. [...] Never even had to replace the joystick, which easily beats the joycons which drift after 400 hours

Preferably, I'd have a 4:3 OLED TV or laser projector at a decent enough size that it can just comfortably show all kinds of formats. My desktop is 21:9, my Macbook and Steamdeck are 16:10, my TV and Nintendo Switch are 16:9, and my iPhone is some weird aspect ratio. [...] And I actually like it when movies take liberties with the screen format instead of forcing everything into 16:9 just because it's the common TV format.

[...] When I heard the news for playstation my mind instantly jumped to silly digital prices for games forever. I look at the nintendo switch store and they will sell a digital copy for new retail price for years after even if you can pickup a used copy on ebay for half the price or less.

Also, third party batteries vary wildly in quality -- I've replaced the battery in my Nintendo switch twice, both times using brands I've heard of, and neither battery is as good as the original OEM battery was when i first got it.

[...] I feel like what computers really lost was sounds, we used to have so many joyful sounds and background music on computers while now they are all silent. I think it’s a tragedy the Nintendo switch broke the long history of music in the menus and apps.

[...] I understand that they still exist because of the resale value, but solid state storage similar to Nintendo Switch cards makes more sense to me. On an even more personal note, very few modern games, if any, are worth purchasing for my own enjoyment. [...]

Nice! I'm a HUGE DoDonPachi fan, Mushihimesama is also great fun as well. I have the Nintendo Switch port coupled with an 8BitDo arcade stick and have sunk tons of hours into it.

[...] I recently replayed it on Nintendo Switch. [...]

A sequel 20+ years in the making... [...] New Pokémon Snap for Nintendo Switch is Now Available for Order! [...] Shipping shortly - Cart and Version Update Details to Come! [...]

[...] And I exclusively use Wifi, other than a TV and a Nintendo Switch that happen to be right next to the router so are plugged in. So even if I had fiber, I literally wouldn't know a difference because my wifi would be the bottleneck still. [...]

I own a Nintendo Switch, and I've noticed that in the Nintendo store, old games regularly go on sale for in the ballpark of 80% off. Does that happen in the PS store?

[...] The Nintendo Switch (which runs Linux) was a favorite of cheaters after jailbreaks came out. [...]
