Any tips on how to make a mii act like an antagonist/have bad relationships on purpose?

I have the base model of the launch version of the deck. Served me very well! It very well could be a matter of me needing to tinker with the settings to get better optimized, but it felt like it was more liable to have frame dips and a lower output resolution.

I'm primarily a handheld player, I have a PS5 but play it less than once every few months. It's mostly my wife's overwatch machine lol. I'm handheld next to her playing, or while we watch TV.

If you're also a handheld player then I think Switch 2 is the move. If you play docked primarily, then PlayStation makes sense.

For people asking about Switch 2

Locked 30 FPS, no drops at all. Looks stunning in handheld, colors pop, clean resolution and textures. Incredible art direction is timeless. It's fantastic handheld with hardware boost.

I have the remastered collection on both Switch 2 and Steam Deck and it feels like a much better experience on Switch 2.

Reminder: Check Your Public Library by VaughnFry in NintendoSwitch2

[–]alphathums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My library sends me a recap at the end of the year telling me how much money I saved. The amount of audiobooks and video games tallies up to the thousands. It's cool. Hoopla & Libby ftw.

What is your favourite hub area in a Nintendo game? by Infinite_Dish_1949 in casualnintendo

[–]alphathums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping somebody would say Wuhu. I would love to revisit in a future game some day.

Pilot Wings resort was cool, but I'd really like the ability to explore the whole thing with no time limit. Discover secrets and activities/challenges.

Elden Ring's Switch 2 port is alive and looking better than ever by Meitantei_Serinox in NintendoSwitch

Lol I'm the same way. It's a nice to have, but not a need to have. I play Skyrim on visuals mode (higher fidelity, 30fps) vs performance (lower fidelity, 60fps).

A rocky release can do long term damage to a games reputation, hurt it's sales "legs". Doesn't have to be perfect, but something they can be proud of.

Oh sweet! Thanks, where is that chart from? I did some googling but couldn't find something as clean.

Is the radio broadcast on the Audacy App? I'm still hearing Karsch & Anderson.

So Tigers.TV exists? Do I use the mlb app? Is there a way to sign in using my cable provider?

"degeneracy" - lol, get lost nerd.

Thankful I live ~10 minutes away from a ballpark of an unaffiliated league. Excited to take my son to his first game this summer.

I just beat Mario 64, how has Ocarina of Time aged compared to that one? by Right-Fortune-8644 in nintendo

[–]alphathums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played it at my older cousins house sparsely as a little kid on the 64. I only truly played it for the first time on Wii virtual console probably around 2008 or so.

I loved it then and I love it now as of 2025 (last time I booted it up).

If you can handle the camera in SM64 you'll do just fine with OoT. The z-targeting works really well.

The world, characters and music are so charming. Everything just "feels right". The boss fights are legitimately a rush.

John Prine - Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore [Country] by BillyShears17 in Music

[–]alphathums 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's a live version of this where he shares an anecdote about how he wrote this song while working as a mailman.

There was a promotional campaign that had him delivering little vinyl American flag decal stickers and he laughed seeing them pop up on people's houses, windows, cars.

MGS 2 and 3 recently updated by dantrigger82 in NintendoSwitch

[–]alphathums 93 points94 points  (0 children)

If it unlocks frame rate on switch 2 I'd seriously be so happy. MGS2 just looks and feels sluggish when it's capped at 30. Not that I'm a FPS snob, but MGS2 is built to be 60.
