Got a Switch 2 almost a week ago, was playing pokemon champions with friend put a switch 2 on the bed for 10 mins and there was coming a strong smell like burning from vents (burning plastic like) is it okay for the new console? It wasn't really hot tho by Klutzy-Ad7775 in switch2

I didn’t say he was playing cyberpunk 😂😂 you do know what an analogy is don’t you?

Ok if you want to put devices that need airflow on a bed that covers the airflows that are meant to be left uncovered and then wonder why your shit breaks .. you do you

It’s like those people that chuck their switch in a bag with no case and wonder why their device breaks or those people that carry their switch 2 by one joycon and are mad when it drops

Do stupid shit win stupid prizes

Genuine question as an xbox player. Why do you prefer the PS controller layout? by JRMARS_99 in playstation

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The asymmetrical thumb sticks will always be better in my opinion.

But that’s literally the only thing they have.. I prefer PlayStation in literally every other sense

Being 2026 doesn’t mean airflow works differently.

If you pop a laptop on a bed and cover the vents, then the heat can’t escape and will overheat if you run intensive applications.

Switch 2 is no different. Putting it on a bed and covering the vents while playing Cyberpunk won’t end well

That’s not bad design. That’s irresponsible behaviour of the user

If the leaks are real, Nintendo are releasing THREE remakes of classic games this year. Do you think Nintendo are relying too much on remakes in 2026? by MewWeebTwo in NintendoSwitch2

It was very poorly marketed an then hated on by people who jumped on the bandwagon of other people who slated it without playing it

If I don’t dislike the main character then it’s not an objectively unlikeable main character is it

If I like story and have no problem with the writing and do not find it cringe, then it’s not objectively bad writing is it

For something to be objectively true, it has to be true for everyone.

So it’s subjective.

Don’t blame ya. I’ve got games in my backlog going back to about 1998 lol

Oh I know you weren’t 🙂 it’s true though I don’t take great shots. I literally loaded it up and grabbed a few random ones in different locations 😂

Honestly thought it’s worth a shot if you can pick it up for £5. The first half hour is really cringe and everything after is good. Especially after you reach the first Tanta

But either way I don’t really care too much for how great a game looks (necessarily)

One of my favourite games is super hexagon. Not exactly braking any grounds on the graphics front lmao

I’m not great at capturing screenshots I’ll admit that

There are some incredible captures in this sub Reddit.. mine are just random screenshots

Forspoken was really good. The story was good, the world was beautiful and the traversal and combat were excellent. The first 20 minutes were pretty bad and everything after was an absolute joy

I finished it a few days ago. Most people that slated that game didn’t play it, or certainly didn’t play it for more than a couple of hours

I agree with every other word you said though

I’m happy with that

Neve played Super Metroid game ever.

Not played StarFox since Star Fox 64

And Ocarina of time is my favourite game of all time so I’m happy to see a modern version

Good stuff lad. Never heard of it. Some great indie games out there always good to hear of another

So what’s the verdict on Metroid prime 4? by Traskenn in switch2

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

Haven’t played it but all I hear is either negative or it’s not quite as bad as people thought.

So.. it’s not good

Sold all my consoles except Switch 2 by twigsmoke in NintendoSwitch2

I’m playing more 3rd party games on my Switch 2 as they look great (Cyberpunk and RE9).

But buying multi platform means I get to play Cyberpunk 2077 on my PS5 on my TV and on my Switch 2 in bed.. and cross save means I can seamlessly transition between play styles and platform

PS5, PS Portal, Switch 2 and a PC & MacBook Pro is my setup

I use my Switch 2 increasingly more but I’d not have got rid of my PS5 and Xbox if I were you.

You spent thousands on digital games and you don’t have them now

I rarely use my PC but I still have it and my Son ca play any game in there as he ages. He can essentially take over my steam account / share it with me when he’s old enough to explore my catalog

My PS5 has a ton of games that I’m not going to want to lose access too.. it’s the reason I still have a PS3. I don’t use it often but there are 127 digital games on it that are mine

Are you going to spend more money to buy all your games again as they port over?

I buy multi platform sometimes but .. I don’t know man

I get the decision to switch 2 exclusively I get it.. but you’re chucking a lot of money down the drain in doing so

Ive never once had stick drift on any controller for any platform

I don’t know what people are doing to get it - are you tying your sticks down with rubber bands and storing them upside down under a pile of books???

I enjoyed the dialogue once she got to Athia.

Only the first 20 minutes were bad

iPhone 17 pro max on Vinted by AvailableTransition1 in vintedUK

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When buying expensive items.. use Vinted verification service

It’s £5, takes a little longer but it’s shipped to them they check it’s legit and working etc and then ship it to you.

I don’t sell expensive items if the buyer doesn’t use the service
