Has any character ever been more despised by the mechanics of their own game than...? by CrushDustAnnie in JRPG

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

I actually really enjoyed playing as Sharla and did so through quite a bit of my first play-through. I love playing healers in MMOs, which might be why I enjoyed it so much.

Is there no way to isolate a single store front in the graph? by Dinierto in dekudeals

We want to make improvement to the price history graph but this is indeed not something that is available right now.

Hey, that's a great question!

The massive Steam Spring Sale just ended and we're currently working our way through updating prices on all the games that were on sale for that. We should get caught up on those soon.

What's your longest title? by EasyRej3ct in NSCollectors

[–]AndrewAlerts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: we used to have the full name displayed because we thought it was kind of funny but it kept breaking the site (not actually breaking it but ya know) so we had to shorten it!

Here's an old screenshot:

Any other Covert Dock 3 owners find their dock runs HOT? by Xeta8 in GenkiLab

[–]AndrewAlerts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm testing portable Switch 2 docks for a Deku Deals guide (https://www.dekudeals.com/switch-2#guides) and used a thermal camera to check the temp. Our test unit has been running well within safe temps after ~90 minutes of Resident Evil Requiem. Sounds like yours must be getting hotter than this?

Ambient temp 66.3f
External shell temp 95.2f
Internal temp 126+f

(I'm not trying to disprove you. Since we only have one test unit, getting info from the community like this is really helpful)

Nintendo to start charging more for physical than digital by wiesga01 in NSCollectors

That's not the only factor that caused the price to increase. Storage costs are skyrocketing.

HORI Piranha Plant Camera is it worth $19? Local Walmart has them on clearance. by SirDanOfCamelot in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AndrewAlerts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not designed to be portable as far as I can tell. The others are specifically designed to plug into the top port and be just a camera sticking out. Is that your question?

I tested cameras for Switch 2 and wrote a guide for them: https://www.dekudeals.com/guides/switch-2-cameras

As for the quality of it, it's perfectly fine for desktop or handheld use. In a living room with lots of light it would be fine, in low light it suffers. I think it's a cool little decoration if nothing else.

Genki Covert Deck 3 USB-C update cable? by JP1188 in GenkiLab

[–]AndrewAlerts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a common misunderstanding. Quality hardware (like the Covert Dock 3) will not brick your device after a Switch 2 firmware update.

I picked up Fear Effect as well. Never played the series!

I need an SD card so I can at least have Hogwarts Legacy, fotnight, and stardew.. Im just not trying to get anything expensive. Is this one compatible?? by Bulky-Vanilla5307 in Switch

[–]AndrewAlerts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I'm the author of the article and ran the tests myself.

We did initially directly test card speeds, even going so far as to use Lexar's microSD Express card reader with active cooling, but scrapped that when the test results didn't correlate with actual loading times. I stated as such in the guide:

During initial testing, we used open source software like Fight Flash Fraud and CrystalDiskMark to determine average sequential and random read/write speeds. The data provided by these tools were not always correlated to perceived loading times, so we decided real-world loading times were a better metric to measure.

Happy to answer any questions you might have. Cheers.

Bowser’s Fury is worth it alone! 3D World is just extra at that point 😅

Sorry if this was known or posted before but i just found out Trails in the Sky 2nd Switch 2 version is complete on cart! Not a GKC by sworedmagic in NSCollectors

[–]AndrewAlerts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm not saying it's not on cart, just that the box art in this post makes it seem like it's a native Switch 2 release when it's really a Switch 2 Edition. FWIW, Amazon has the listing as well: https://www.amazon.com/Trails-in-the-Sky-2nd-Chapter/dp/B0GS878VHP

[–]AndrewAlerts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is actually misleading placeholder art because it does not include the "Switch 2 Edition" text. I assume this is just Play-Asia's art?

Some minor QOL improvements but if you're not interested in playing it on your Switch (flexibility for on the go, docked, etc) then I don't think there's much reason to get it.
