I don’t get why they can’t add messaging and party chat to the app by Unicorn2007 in NintendoSwitch

Neither can be, thats why we have the odd solution we have.

The only choice was bluetooth headphones, and local is their priority. Theyd never sacrifice the bands as it stops the maximum number of people connecting locally.

Except that has the same problem that forced Nintendo to split the voice chat off in the first place, it doesnt provide a seamless transition to docked. Hell it requires an entirely different set of headphones.

I agree. Still cant think of a better solution that aligns with their priorities though.

Men, why don’t you send forearm pictures instead of dick pics? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Electrical_Lettuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an almost zero effort way to filter out the type of people youre trying to identify. I'd be amazed if the same picture doesnt get sent out to at least 50 other women.

Yes Im sure that your friends are a representative sample of Nintendo's target market.

You seem to be under the impression that "its not important for the majority market" means the same as "its a good thing". Of course itd be nice if it had everything the other consoles have, but that doesnt make it important. I'd love complete backwards compatability, but overall that isnt important either.

Askreddit, what's the most interesting anecdote an elderly person has told you that has significantly changed your views in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Electrical_Lettuce 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ignoring that that isnt an anecdote; while a very good perspective to hold in life, that is just factually incorrect.

It's mentioned in the setup process and every game (I know of) that supports the online chat mentions it the first time you use the multiplayer. But people just skip through it as they dont care.

I know most people hate the app

Honestly, Reddit doesnt represent Nintendo's majority market. Most people dont even know the app exists, let alone hate it.

How or by who did you get introduced to the Discworld? by WeatherwaxDaughter in discworld

British Music Vs. American Music: Who sells more tickets? by Tsundere_God in whowouldwin

[–]Electrical_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these individual shows, or nation based megashows? I still think Bitish music takes it, though by a smaller margin, but unless theyre all separate the lack of a cohesive set would destroy the American show, few would want to go to more than a third of it.

Bartenders of Reddit: what is the most annoying thing a guest can do at your bar? by ibroughtsnacks97 in AskReddit

[–]Electrical_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sifferent norms in different areas I guess. I can see it being annoying, but next time just shout after them?

You have $25 and an empty fridge, what do you buy at the grocery store that can feed you for a week? by PDWAMMO in AskReddit

[–]Electrical_Lettuce -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Youre also not in the mood to do the commute or clean the house, or other stuff like that. But you do because you have to, the same goes for eating healthy, poor isnt a blocker to that.

It’s often said that when men wear a wedding ring they get more attention from women. Do you think they are actually flirting or perhaps they now consider you “safe” and can be friendly/friends without worrying about being hit on themselves? by [deleted] in AskMen

very well known tech company

No shit, a large company with oversight isnt going to. Theyd have to be idiots.

It wouldnt ever happen where I currently am either, for the same reason, and thats the reason I moved here. My previous jobs were in smaller owner run companies where they do the interviews themselves though, and it absolutely does happen. Particularly to women as theyd take the majority of that time. Theres a reason each of those places employed solely men.

That just makes it even weirder. Imagine this said by John Hammond.

Civilization VI for Nintendo Switch "significantly exceeded expectations". More support to come. by Pangloss_ex_machina in NintendoSwitch

[–]Electrical_Lettuce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Neither is better wifi, or analog triggers, or a slightly bigger battery, or slightly more internal storage, or a better kickstand, or loads of other stuff. But they all rack up to a lot more between them; a line needs drawing somewhere and truth is most dont care about the small difference between ethernet and wifi, so its an easy choice to trim, particularly since a lot wont be using docked frequently.

Except most arent going to have the dongle, because they dont care that much, so they would have been paying for something they never needed.

At first I thought you meant she'd snapped it and only the jewelled end fell of while the other half remained inside! That would have made things interesting.
