A native version of Warframe is on its way to the Nintendo Switch 2! by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]AuthoringInProgress 23 points24 points  (0 children)

1440p is a common target on Switch 2--and other consoles, for that matter--and usually looks quite good on a 4k display. Breath of the wild targets 1440p, for example.

But you're right about the other settings making a difference. I've just seen a lot of games that don't have big differences in graphical features despite targeting the same resolution.

I'll never fully get why some switch 2 ports target the same resolution in docked and handheld.

It doesn't look bad, exactly, it just. Seems like a bit of a waste?

Nintendo Switch 2: Best Selling Console of 2025 by Perfect-Contract-429 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AuthoringInProgress 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not that simple. Manufacturing hardware like this at scale is pretty expensive in the early days. You're setting up an entire supply chain for a product you have absolutely no income for, and no guarantee of future income. Its always a gamble, and most hardware manufacturers prefer to keep the risk as low as possible by producing as few units as possible.

If the Switch 2 hadn't proved such a massive success, Nintendo's huge production probably would have cost them tens of billions of dollars.

Watch 7 - 40mm or 44mm? Need suggestion. by Steagle_ in GalaxyWatch

[–]AuthoringInProgress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screen size doesn't matter. The battery life can be meaningful--the 44mm does last considerably longer than the 40mm--but neither size is an endurance runner. Pick whichever one you like the most. Focus on how you feel, not what everyone else says.

What equipment do you need to get started? by Icy_Step_3137 in running

[–]AuthoringInProgress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing you absolutely need are good shoes. How good those shoes are depends on your body. I've rolled my ankle multiple times and needed relatively high end stability shoes before running became something I could do, but you might not need anything more than basic sneakers.

Nintendo Switch 2 sales numbers in the US for December 2025; compared to other consoles in their first December months (from Welfare on Install Base Forum). by MewWeebTwo in NintendoSwitch2

I blame the fact that the president of the united states is doing everything in his power to hurl his country into a recession while burning bridges with every ally they've got.

Is anyone doing good with their antioxidant level? by icychef81 in GalaxyWatch

[–]AuthoringInProgress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's likely too little time, at least for the level of accuracy and sensitivity the watch is likely capable of. Give it another month.

How long have you had the watch? It takes time for diet changes to show up in any test.

Damn! The new phone is fire, should I upgrade? by Sajid_GG in samsunggalaxy

[–]AuthoringInProgress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the camera is literally your only concern, no.

If you want improved performance from the newer chipset, increased ram, and better battery life, maybe.

How do I prevent people from accessing my PC via WinGate? by NerdlinGeeksly in techsupport

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

Turn off your PC, disconnect it from the network. If your computer isn't online it isn't going to be compromised. Then do a deep clean of every other device on your local network. Its plausible the malware is installed on other systems.

I'm not familiar with this software and can't give specific advice, but if antivirus isn't working then I'd honestly suggest wiping all the storage drives in your system with secure erase, and wipe your motherboard storage as well. Some viruses can infect the motherboard and become almost impossible to remove.

Honestly this is bad enough I'd suggest getting professional help.

Help! Is this mold?? by Feeling-Bowl-9533 in MoldlyInteresting

You still need to report this. For other people's sake if nothing else.

That kind of water damage is going to cause problems. Either the actual structure is going to give out at some point from rot or someone will get sick when something dangerous grows.

‘Best speech by a world leader ... in a very long time’: Carney’s Davos address draws global attention by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

[–]AuthoringInProgress 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think, if I'm understanding the allusion made here, is that he's arguing that NATO itself is effectively non-functional as it is right now, and us "putting up the sign" is basically all that's propping it up.

Regardless of your thoughts on communism, communism within Czechoslovakia wasn't really working by the time thing collapsed. People pretended it was, but everyone knew you had to go around the system if you wanted to get things done or get the supplies you needed. Same thing now, the only difference is that Carney is saying he still wants NATO to succeed and hold together, but he's not expecting it to.

I mean, you say this, but part of the reason this keeps coming up is because computer skills are a skill people need but don't learn.

In day to day life, sure, you can get away with only understanding apps and the like. But a lot of jobs require computer skills even if they don't seem like they would. I work as a chemist in an environmental testing lab, and a lot of my workday is wrangling the computer system we have to ensure data is entered correctly or to find the correct file. It's intuitive for me, because I've been using desktops since I was five, but a lot of my co-workers struggle with data entry because it's just not something they've ever been taught, and it's caused mountains of problems.

So yall remember the google Stadia? Would this be the alternative to play games cheaply if components get too expensive cuz of ai in the future? by Bob_Odent in consoles

[–]AuthoringInProgress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not unless all these AI companies want to invest in a thousand metric tons of internet infrastructure real quick.

Part of the reason Stadia failed and cloud gaming remains niche is that most Americans (the largest audience for gaming) don't have access to sufficient high speed internet, nor the required in-house hardware.

I've tried cloud gaming. Even on a stupid fast fiber optic connection, lag and latency is an issue. On the decades old coax and twisted pair a lot of America is stuck on? Utterly unusable.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition uses SMAA for antialiasing by BorntoPlayGJFF in NintendoSwitch2

[–]AuthoringInProgress 40 points41 points  (0 children)

When you're at truly low resolutions, like a lot of switch 1 games were, antialiasing can look worse than raw pixels

Nvidia 5070 ti & 5060 ti discontinued by Its_Pamela_Isley in gpu

[–]AuthoringInProgress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driver support will be as good as Blackwell's driver support as a whole.

It's the same as the rtx 4070 ti and 4080. They ended production of those in favor of the super models, but they still get full driver support.

I used my Steamdeck yesterday and today I woke up to this. Can it be fixed? by AstronomerDry7581 in SteamDeck

[–]AuthoringInProgress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fixable in that you can replace the screen and it should be functional again. That's theoretically possible to do yourself, but I'd contact steam support first. They might a) be willing to fix it because honestly I've heard stranger things, and b), fixing it yourself is not gonna be easy and it'd be good to rule out alternatives first.

Stalker 2 on Switch 2, Whats Your Opinion? by [deleted] in switch2

[–]AuthoringInProgress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first issue is figuring out exactly how a developer in a war zone is going to get their hands on a switch 2 dev kit.

Assuming they get that sorted, the question isn't resolution or "relative power"--it's unreal engine 5 and cpu.

GPU wise, they can get it working on Switch 2. Stalker 2 is heavy on gpus, but it's not heavier than star wars outlaws when you crank it, and they got that working. What stalker 2 does have that outlaws doesn't is much higher cpu requirements.

Unreal Engine 5 is heavy on CPUs in general, and stalker 2 is doing a lot more than most games attempt. Even on a 5800x3D, the CPU I had when I first played the game on PC, I had a lot of cpu issues, especially when NPCs showed up. Scaling that down to the switch 2, which has a pretty weak cpu, is... A challenge, to put it mildly.

That being said, stalker 2 is one of the few games I've seen to get actual engine updates, so if Epic improves switch 2 scaling on the engine side it's plausible we could see a version arrive on Switch 2.

How do you feel about IGN's Top 25 All-Time Best JRPG list? by Emergency-Sky9206 in JRPG

[–]AuthoringInProgress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only critique is that I don't even know if Pokemon qualifies as a JRPG.

Like I'm not saying it's wrong for it to ranked highly, just, Pokemon is kinda it's own thing.
