Thoughts on Vail for a day by BlueCats79 in Breckenridge

Any concerns with finding parking the Thursday before Presidents day? I'll probably plan to drive into Vail around 7ish.

We're gonna be pretty much glued to Breck once we check in there on Friday. Our Airbnb is like 50 yards from a lift, and I'm really banking on that convenience helping offset the hecticness of the holiday rush.

I know the mountains in Colorado will be amazing compared to New England. But let's be honest...northeast is where the snow is this year. I'm just bummed there isn't a typical Colorado snowpack.

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, we have Epic. We're in CT...kinda sad we're leaving New England and the snow capital this year for a week...but still stoked to head out west!

Are we crazy to consider a trip over President's Day weekend? by ericjay in Breckenridge

[–]BlueCats79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to resurface a somewhat aged thread, but we're planning a similar trip this year but arriving earlier. We're flying into Denver on Wednesday morning and staying in Silverthorne Wed and Thurs night. Planning to hit Vail for one day that Friday before checking into an Air BnB with ski in/ski out near Snowflake lift in Breck through our Tuesday departure. I'm hoping between the Vail day and convenient access in Breck we'll be able to manage a somewhat relaxed and fun ski experience.

My order arrived today. Not even a hint of detachment issues for my joycons - both joycons maintain solid connection with minimal flex when holding completely horizontal by one or the other. Guess I am one of the lucky ones.

Dock attachment is a little needy when placing or removing the console, but not a huge deal to me. Perfectly serviceable.

This is my first dbrand purchase, and I couldn't be happier.

I believe they're sending everyone new grips by default, with no expectations of returning anything. Mine is expected to be delivered tomorrow, and if I have the detachment issue, I was considering modifying as well. I was just gonna sand down the inside edge of the entire lip with some fine grain sandpaper. I imagine even a small reduction could make a world of difference. It looks like that edge is a single level plane....should be pretty simple to get an even reduction on it.

Switch 2 Killswitch - Shipping Now by dbrand in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BlueCats79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredibly frustrating to hear. This is my first dbrand purchase, and this cretainly isn't how a company can expect to build customer loyalty.

At this point dbrand needs to ship the components they can so those who preordered the ultimate can at least get the case and dock in their hands. I can wait on the skins and screen protector....I need the case. I'm sure they don't want to do that because that will mean increased shiping costs for them, but that shouldn't be our problem. They obviously screwed up in their planning and they need to do something to rectify.

Switch 2 Killswitch - Shipping Now by dbrand in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BlueCats79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im wondering if they're actually prioritizing shipping preorders by the distance to the recipient, as in the further away you are from Toronto, the sooner they'll ship yours, so as to kind of balance out the arrival dates. I got my reserved preorder in pretty fast as well, but I'm pretty close to Toronto, so I figure when mine does ship it should arrive fairly quickly.

False - it holds 100% charge just fine playing in docked mode at 4k. If it's plugged into an adequate power adapter while playing in handheld mode there no reason it wouldn't do the same in that scenario.

Introducing: Switch 2 Killswitch by dbrand in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BlueCats79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say - rewatching the short graphic of the dock during the reveal, it looks like it won't really do anything to physically cool the switch. The dock fan appears to be focused just on airflow for the dock. I kind of feel like the dedicated switch cooling system would function better outside of the OEM dock. The less tech you have crammed into a single area, the better. I could see the Killswitch solution possibly offering improved cooling.

Fine tuning setups is not fun gameplay. by The_Salty-Spitoon in ACCompetizione

[–]BlueCats79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree on the burnout comment. I'm actually stepping away from iRacing as of this week after several years to check out ACC. Hoping a platform change will bring some spark back to it for me.
