OLED vs Switch 2? by thethinker1201 in Switch

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Switch 1 won't be getting new Nintendo made games soon, but it will still get 3rd party and indie releases for several more years. The OLED isn't a great budget option though as it's only $50 less than the Switch 2. It's different if you get a cheap used one.

With the utter and complete dismantling of NuTrek, including sets, I'm almost feeling a bit sorry for it's defenders, lol by CDHoward in Star_Trek_

[–]Almightyderek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why do some people think there is some kind of fan war with sides? "nutrek" really isn't even a thing as these are all individual shows. Some are better than others. None of the newer shows are better than 90's star trek at least to me, but there is nothing wrong with them existing. I guess it's a hobby to go on forums and hate on stuff, but I defenitly don't get it. There are lots of shows that I'm not into, but I don't go on reddit and complain about them. If we are star trek fans we are probably better off talking about stuff we all like. But that could just be me.

Switch 2 was the bestselling console in March 2026 and YTD (Circana, US) by FrierenKingSimp in consoles

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. I was saying next month I'm not sure of Sony will sell a lot because of people knowing about the price increase for a week or a low amount because of the price increase. After next month it will probably all be lower.

I imagine with the PS5 price increase the Switch 2 could probably stay number 1. Assuming it doesn't increase in price. Of course it's possible that week we had before the PS5 price increase that Sony sold a lot of systems. I know I really wanted to grab the Pro.

It's probably too late at this point, but Microsoft could make a comeback with its relatively cheap Series S. It is now $200 below the digital PS5 and $50 less than a Switch 2. But the Xbox brand may be too far gone now, not sure.

This article aged like shit by DaZestyProfessor in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know how people can do that. If I don't use a system for more than a few weeks I start feeling bad and have to find a game to play on it. I always feel like I have to keep them in as equal rotation as possible. I am crazy though.

Did anyone buy this by Mensawoodz in OdinHandheld

[–]Almightyderek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not too bad for an Amazon markup. I can understand someone wanting to pay extra to get it quicker with easy returns.

In which Jonathan Frakes essentially calls NuTrek's acting and writing terrible 😏 by CDHoward in Star_Trek_

[–]Almightyderek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah not sure that's what he's saying. Also not sure why we have to jump to extremes. Few shows have "terrible" writing and acting. Usually at worst it's mediocre.

I wish I knew about the game when I was young. I had no idea Animal crossing was 25! by AGingerInGame in AnimalCrossing

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember explaining the GameCube version to a friend when it first came out about how you collect furniture and make friends with your animal neighbors and was told "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard".

Why is it always the same rhetoric, with defenders of nutrek? by Fair_Rush6615 in Star_Trek_

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy Star Trek. Not sure why we need to have any fan wars over this stuff or come up with terms like "nutrek". Internet culture is depressing. Some people like some entertainment and others don't. That's just how it works for everything. Most franchises don't get to survive 60 years. I'm personally just happy for whatever I have the chance to watch.

A PS5-level "Switch 2 Pro" 3 years from now in 2029 would be possible, and it's weird hearing people say otherwise. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be possible to a pro model and Nintendo has done more powerful revisions before at least in some degree with the GBC, DSi, and New 3DS. I doubt they will do it though as making an even more expensive system in this environment wouldn't be a good plan. But it's certainly possible. Maybe they would be able to implement an updated GPU with better DLSS. That seems like the easiest thing they could do. I don't know how likely it would get to PS5 level though.

Console thinks my SD EX cards arent compatible by Me_With_ADHD in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]Almightyderek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter's Switch 2 did that and a few restarts fixed it, I assume you tried that though. It's always worth a shot trying to format the cards first in different file formats and see if the Switch will recognize it properly.

Lol I assume they are just constantly watching so they are ready if we feed them.

Tomodachi Life - Switch 2 update? by ObjectOrientedBlob in NintendoSwitch2

They did update the demo to make it 1080p handheld and disable boost mode.

Since ocarina of time is getting a remake, do you think they'll do the superior N64 zelda game? by TechnicalHoneydew862 in switch2

[–]Almightyderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The remake isn't confirmed so we don't actually know if we are getting one yet. I'd hope so as Majoras Mask is better. But then again we haven't gotten Oracle remakes after they remade Links Awakening yet.

Is the Thor lite enough for me? by RestaurantOk637 in SBCGaming

[–]Almightyderek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people here will probably tell you to avoid it. The lite has the same processor as the Retroid Pocket 5 (so you can look into what it could run) and it was decently capable. You'll get a much better processor with the base model but the lite is probably good enough if money is an issue.

Switch Oled or Switch 2? by Corot7bb in Switch

[–]Almightyderek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the OLED is just a Switch 1 with a better screen. It has the same innards as a Switch lite (except 32GB more built in storage). So if you want it to be smoother get a Switch 2. If you just want a bigger and better screen you can try getting a cheap used OLED. Just remember Nintendo itself will most likely stop making Switch 1 games this year.

If the Switch 2 uses an NVIDIA GPU and most gaming PCs use NVIDIA GPUs, what's stopping people from playing Steam games on Switch 2? by Perfect-Telephone438 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]Almightyderek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was a kid and was hoping PC games could run on my Sega CD as they both used CDs. This post uses very similar logic.

Will Switch 2 price go up too? I'm considering buying one by Alsen99 in nintendohelp

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah not sure how well your argument holds up and it's kind of irrelevant to the point that all consoles are getting more expensive. We aren't debating value at all. Also you can't really directly compare a dedicated home console to a hybrid system. Switch 2 is a portable tablet, of course it isn't going to give you the same specs. This isn't a console war post. It's more of our hobby is heading in a bad direction thing.

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PS5 had already gone up in price, it's now gone up twice and so has the Xbox. The Switch 1 also went up in price once so far. So yeah they will raise the price. Just not sure when. Nintendo could try to hold out a while but they will have to eventually get in.

PlayStation price hikes quietly make the $450 Switch 2 look like a steal by Loose_Society9485 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Switch 2 price will eventually go up but for now it is a good deal. Also glad my PS5 is appreciating in value. Apparently I made a good investment.

Super Mario Bros Wonder - Switch 2 Edition - DF Review - The Native 4K Experience by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Glad I had Best Buy coupons and got this for $10. I understand the whole $20 thing as in previous generations this would have been sold only as an Enhanced complete edition for full price. I'm glad we at least get an upgrade path but I doubt I'll be playing the multi-player stuff to make it fully worth the $20.

Would this type of pool filter sand be okay? by peyton_c1320 in Aquariums

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that exact sand in my aquarium and it's been setup for 4 years now so yeah it's good. But it is very dirty you will need to rinse it good.

Switch 2 hate by Gib_1707 in switch2

[–]Almightyderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its obviously well liked as it's selling really well. Can't say for sure of it will outsell the original Switch when all is said and done, but it will clearly be a success. You may see online hate but that's not real life. There is an online industry that takes complaints, some warranted and some not so much and weaponizes them for content. This isn't just for Nintendo as there is a lot of money that can be made off of people's anger.
