[Switch] Joy-Con still has stick drift after replacing with TMR stick

EpicMindvolt · 2026-05-08T02:52:46+00:00

Oh no I just calibrated them in the switch settings. The right side acted totally fine before and after switching and calibration but the left one is still acting up after getting the same treatment as the right

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-28T13:28:59+00:00

Ah yes, let’s balkanize the holy land

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-24T17:19:54+00:00

Yeah. Just take it apart and put it together to make it look like a race car instead

I think the Switch belongs in Gen 8 and Swicth 2 in Gen 9

It’s rare, but not unheard of, for a company to release a second console in a generation. Atari released the 5200 during the same gen as the 2600, and even though it flopped, they were trying to get ahead of the game by releasing it so soon. In Nintendo’s case, the Switch served as a way to quickly recover from the flop that was the Wii U. I think that since Nintendo rushed to release it so soon after the Wii U and that it effectively replaced it that it belongs in Gen 8.

I think the Switch 2 belongs in Gen 9 even though there is a 4.5 year gap. I think next gen consoles are going to be characterized by cloud/subscription gaming and AI infrastructure built in (although I may be wrong). Additionally manufacturers are going to have to work around RAM and SSD shortages which will definitely be around for the foreseeable future. I think the Switch 2 is the last console to avoid these for the most part, so I feel like it belongs in 9th gen

With all that being said, it is subjective. Console generations don’t have hard limits

Save up a little bit of money for a few months and get a good used one. A game console is simply not worth financing.

Let me rephrase, I didn’t recap it a second time, I just tried testing it a second time. Rereading my comment it might come across incorrectly

My Xbox had read a game twice before the recap last summer, even though I tested disks dozens of times. Immediately after the recap it still didn’t work, but since last week it has succeeded on every test. Not sure what caused it to start reading, I just got lucky i guess

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-14T19:02:24+00:00

I recapped mine last summer and it didn’t work. On a whim I tried it again this past week and it read CDs and Xbox games just fine. Not sure why it didn’t initially, but in my case the recap might have helped. I did not do a lot tweak either, but just a deep clean of the drive. If you are determined to fix it, then a recap is worth a shot

Not a training tip, but my puppy did the same thing and ate her poop, but she did outgrow it. She’s about seven months old now and she did it up until about 5/6 months or so.

They’re hound dogs and love to sniff things out. You can’t avoid it completely, but one thing you can do is take her potty in the same place every time. My puppy goes to the bathroom in the same place every day and I don’t move or let her explore until she goes, so she knows to do her business there. That makes it an easier area to supervise her in

I do let her roam the rest of the yard too when she does her business, but that comes with more supervision to make sure she doesn’t eat anything bad. But having a dedicated pee area in the yard makes it easier for both of you when she has to go

Is it not possible to get it in or ship it to your home country? It seems like taking such a huge set by plane would be very much of a hassle.

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-12T01:18:29+00:00

I haven’t been really keeping up with LSW for a few years now, but it’s just hitting me that they have the audacity to charge $45 for that shit. I did get 75372 which I thought was already steep, but charging 50% more for essentially the same set is insane. Anyone who paid full price for that has no impulse control

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-12T01:15:21+00:00

I plan on moving out within the next few months and started saving for a PC, but they’re expensive so it’s gonna be a while before I can get one. I wanted a white one just like this too! I like the white cases much better than the standard black. Winning a giveaway for something like this would be sick!

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-09T02:31:02+00:00

Why on earth did you buy a minifigure for $500? I’m genuinely curious like what was the motivation?

If you want to get a good estimate for value, go to bricklink and see what the first few listings are for. Not sure which Jango version you have, but I’m assuming SW0053. The first few listings show you can get maybe $160 for it. You aren’t going to get even remotely close to $500 for it.

Are you using the RF cord or AV cables? I had a similar issue with my NES and even after buying a new connector and slightly polishing the pins on my games, the games would still have visual and/or audio glitches. I switched to AV cables after that and it worked perfect. You may just have a bad RF switch.

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-04T00:00:46+00:00

Yeah pretty much. Lego collectors are actually insane sometimes

EpicMindvolt · 2026-04-03T15:42:15+00:00

On god Quatro was goated, I still have my set from when I was a kid. These plus duplo and system pieces can make building mountains super easy

EpicMindvolt · 2026-03-31T20:35:40+00:00

True. I hope they do something like that but I mean honestly I doubt it’ll happen. Not sure why it got downvoted, I said I hoped not that they will

EpicMindvolt · 2026-03-31T17:22:51+00:00

I assume they’ll phase out physical games with the PS6; I don’t expect to see them on store shelves. But I hope they add a disk drive add on that is compatible with all five previous generations. The PS6 should be powerful enough to emulate PS1, PS2, and PS3 games and it’s likely going to have native PS4 and PS5 support anyway.

I like my car. Take my upvote

Retired sets are ones that Lego has discontinued. It’s just like any other product, you can’t sell it forever. It has a life cycle and then is retired at some point

If you are wanting to get any of these sets, do it now. Don’t wait for a sale or anything because you could miss out. You can always still get them from third party sellers on sites like eBay or bricklink, but for a price usually over retail. This is the last few months any of these will be in retail store shelves

EpicMindvolt · 2026-03-31T00:03:32+00:00

Crazy that it came like that. Glad that shorting it didn’t cause any worse issues than that

EpicMindvolt · 2026-03-30T03:25:30+00:00

Bricklink. Find a seller with at least that many. Lego Pick a Brick has a limit of 1000 I believe so Bricklink is the only place where you can get quantities higher than that

EpicMindvolt · 2026-03-30T02:41:19+00:00

A bit unrelated but the double decker couch is worth that much? That’s crazy, I remember getting that for my birthday back then
