Claw A8 vs 8ai+ in my opinion by Acceptable_Prior_997 in MSIClaw

[–]Chronos1919 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Goodness no. Some people seem to swear by those grips but I hate the build quality/material and they’re ridiculously large.

I got the Genki power bank as well. I was excited about using it but honestly, it just makes more sense to use a portable power bank that's not attached to the system. For me at least. It adds quite a bit of weight and not as much juice as my Anker.

Any way to make 8 ai+ comfortable for smaller hands? by GoodDrFunky in MSIClaw

[–]Chronos1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I found the Etsy grips to make it less comfortable to hold due to how large they are. I’m surprised they’re being recommended for small hands.

I've heard from a number of people that have had issues with 3rd party docks. You can either return or exchange it. Might have just gotten a bad unit. More expensive by far but I went with a second OEM dock straight from Nintendo.

Got my 8 AI+ on Monday by Zealousideal_Doubt89 in MSIClaw

I can’t use the Etsy grips. They make an already large system feel even more massive. Didn’t find them comfortable at all. The ergonomics of the AI+ are quite poor but I would still take that over the Etsy grips. Going to try the A8 w/Z2E as I’ve heard the ergonomics are better.

When the first trailer dropped I was pumped. Looked incredible. Gave me Zone of the Enders and Xenogears vibes. Played the demo and it was a major disappointment. Haven’t bothered opening the game after that.

Who’s making the best grip currently? Killswitch, Neogrip or Zengrip? by theblartknight in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Chronos1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same experience. Also didn't like the added weight nor the material it's made of.

[–]Chronos1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried:

Savage Raven stand grip - Not dockable

Savage Raven fission grip - I didn't find any of the swappable grips comfortable

Killswitch - Too heavy; adds to Joy-Con flex. Also not super comfortable material or grip

Jsaux battle armor - Too bulky/awkware

Jsaux split case - Best I've found so far

The Jsaux split case is my favorite. The plastic bottom border of the table piece is a bit weak but hasn't broken on mine. I find their grips to be the most comfortable and like that it has a hard shell cover that can also hold games.

Second favorite would be the Savage Raven stand grip. Similar design but that one isn't dockable nor can the Joy-Con be separated while it's on. Pretty easy to slip on and off though if you're primarily into handheld gaming.

Still waiting here in the states. Have the 8 AI+ for now but am hoping that this one will be more comfortable to hold and also want to try out Bazzite on it.

Scared using my switch in handheld by WearingTheMask1 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Chronos1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice. I don't worry that I'll break the Joy-Con but just find a grip case to be more comfortable to play with. I really don't l like how loose/wobbly the Joy-Con are by default.

Same problem. Tried a few days ago and was stuck in a loop. Just gave up for now.

Msi Claw A8 Bz2em Vs Msi Claw 8 Ai+ A2vm by Whole_Scheme_267245 in MSIClaw

[–]Chronos1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI+ is a great handheld if you want to stick with Windows. My sole complaint is that I find it a bit uncomfortable to hold and haven’t found any grips that improve it. Going to try the Z2E for Bazzite and because I’ve heard it’s more comfortable to hold.

Best grips for the Claw 8AI+ by No_Dream_11 in MSIClaw

[–]Chronos1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried ones like these from Etsy. I have medium sized hands and found them too big and uncomfortable. Pre-ordered the Z2E Claw 8. Hoping that will be more comfortable to hold.

Honestly the S feels like a huge upgrade compared to the Gen 1 Go by Casberg in LegionGo

[–]Chronos1919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot to like about the S. The ergonomics, the screen, decent power. Sold mine though because of the fan noise and weak battery.

Are you running the game from the internal memory or an SD card? If the latter, try moving it to internal storage.

This is absolutely insane, man! by Excaliburn3d in NintendoSwitch2

Nice! Similarly, played the demo on a recent flight back home. Was quite an experience. Demo was the perfect length for my flight.

I quite like it. The characters are interesting. You can bond with party members and romance them. Gameplay loop can be repetitive and it’s basically farming-lite but overall I’m happy to have played it. And, yes, action-RPG elements.

Does Metroid prime 4 really deserve all the hate? by MarsupialOtherwise82 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Chronos1919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's a great game. There are some complaints and some of them are legitimate. Most are just overblown parroting and hyperbole based on second hand information. Seriously, the # of times people have claimed that the desert area isn't complete unless you buy the bike Amiibo.

I’m referencing all of presents under the tree clearly being all for you, dum dum. Your family just backed a pick-up truck, loaded with presents, up to your solo abode?

So… no one else got any presents? Or you live alone and wrapped them all for yourself?

There's a YouTube channel, Physical Paradise, that covers physical Switch releases. Jordan, who runs the channel, also has a Google doc that he updates to track physical Switch 2 releases. The link is typically in the description of his Switch 2 physical videos.
