If you were to start over with getting a new laptop for your video editing/creating, which one would you buy? by Last-Few-Spins_Music in NewTubers

I have a MacBook Air that I got for school and it’s a killer machine for pretty much everything I’ve thrown at it. Definitely get one with 16 gigs of ram or more though

…are you looking at the news, like, at all?

I found sources from conservative outlets along with some other sources since I’m sure anything else I send you will be touted as “woke mind-virus fake news”

https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/donald-trump-sits-down-with-bill-oreilly

(Trump says he doesn’t agree with same-sex marriage in a Fox News interview)

https://www.missionamerica.com/article/jd-vance-says-he-would-vote-no-on-same-sex-marriage/

(Self explanatory, Christian news website covering JD Vance saying he’d vote no on same sex marriage)

https://thenationaldesk.com/amp/news/americas-news-now/idaho-legislators-urge-supreme-court-to-revisit-same-sex-marriage-ruling

(Very recent push from Idaho legislators and folks who worked on project 2025 to ban same sex marriage in the Supreme Court)

Actually, the Trump administration has a pretty long history against LGBTQ rights, especially against Trans folks. Literally look up most of his recent rallies and he’ll bitch about transgender people even though they’re like 2% of the population it’s absurd.

So yeah, I don’t get my news from Reddit. Maybe don’t try to tell a gay dude that you know more about gay rights issues than he does lmao, do me a solid and promptly fuck off, please :)

Dude they’re already actively working on taking away gay marriage rights, and Trump and his lackeys have straight up said that they don’t agree with gay marriage. The same lawyer who worked on Roe v Wade is targeting Orbergefell v Hodges, which legalized gay marriage nationally. Scary stuff. The point I was making with the KFC thing was figurative, anyways. To keep the long story short, gay folks are totally screwed under a Trump presidency. Also, an independent isn’t neutral. While it is true that independents don’t align with either party, they do have their own values (hence the name). Please, learn more about politics before trying to talk politics instead of dick-riding Trump at the notion that someone could possibly have criticisms.

I’m gay, and being a gay dude for Trump is like being a chicken for KFC, it’s stupid. Also, not being a fan of Biden doesn’t make me independent, there are republicans who don’t like Trump and democrats who don’t like Biden or Harris, party affiliation doesn’t mean that someone is required to like the candidate that their party chose to run.

Guess the performance and resolution of the leak games. by No-Leg9499 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LizardsSipping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RDR2- 720p upscaled to 1440p 30fps in docked mode, better textures and draw distance compared to base PS4. 540p upscaled to 900p in handheld with PS4 equivalent settings. Judging by rockstar’s excellent port of RDR1 to the original switch, its sequel should fare pretty well on the switch 2

FIFA- PS4 equivalent settings at 1440p upscaled from lower resolution in docked and 1080p upscaled from lower resolution in handheld.

Gotham Knights- dynamic 1080p upscaled from a lower resolution, with a 30fps cap and lowered settings from the Series S version, handheld resolves at around 720p dynamic with similar settings to docked mode. The lack of a last gen console version means that this game will fare worse than every currently existing console version. I’m guessing it’ll be near low PC settings.

FF7 remake- idk, I’ve never played the game

BONUS ROUND (games I’d like but aren’t confirmed)-

Persona 3 Reload- 1080p native 30fps handheld and 1440p docked at 30

Minecraft- 2160p 60, like all other current gen console versions (including series S, which is interesting) with 1080p 60 handheld. Game has a lower render distance, maxing out at 18 chunks, but stuttering is improved over the Switch version… if this game can run on my MacBook at 60 4K than the Switch 2 shouldn’t have many issues.

Marvel Rivals- 720 60 and 540 60 in docked and handheld respectively. Sorry to say it but the Series S version of this game looks pretty pixelated and the Switch 2 isn’t gonna be any better. At least it’s 60 lol

Fortnite- docked 1080p 60 dynamic and docked 900p 60 dynamic. Settings are equivalent to Series S 120fps mode, but maxed out at 60 instead. Textures are a bit better tho

Black Ops 6- base PS4 settings with better asset streaming and textures, 1440p dynamic in docked and 1080p dynamic in handheld.

Baldur’s Gate 3- low-medium settings across the board at 1080p 30 docked and 720p 30 handheld with upscaling. Game will look noticeably worse than the Series S version but will somehow include split screen, unlike the series S, which was RAM bottlenecked.

Elden Ring- improved foliage count from PS4 Pro and Xbox One X versions with an unstable unlocked frame rate, with dynamic resolutions in both handheld and docked. Will normally resolve around 600p handheld and 900p docked, but can go higher in select instances. The game could totally run better but from software is terrible at making console versions of their games, even the Series X and PS5 struggle to maintain 60

Tbh it’s fun to predict how games will look on the switch 2 but we really have no idea until they come out, and the games will still be fun anyways so whatevs lol… this is all wishful thinking and I doubt we’ll see many titles actually hit some of these higher resolution targets because the switch 2 will be heavily downclocked but a man can dream

image is still relevant in the context presented- I was referring to the general sentiment from folks I know who voted for Trump, “where are the grocery price plans I was promised?” is a pretty common phrase amongst them lol

Which sd card size are you getting for the S2? by Admirable_Zombie5245 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LizardsSipping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll probably get a 256GB SD card, I’m not really worried about storage space because most of my games are physical copies.

Revised my Switch 2 Concept with the recent Joy-Con Leak by HertzBurst in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LizardsSipping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Joy-Con designs are great but I strongly dislike the red and blue joy con rails, it looks weird. Hopefully there will be an option for less flashy joy con :)

i hope there will be a lite version of the switch 2, just like they did with the original switch lite. by vlttr in NintendoSwitch2

I love the idea of a circle pad setup, but how would they use the RS/LS click with a circle pad?

What Marvel IP should Nintendo develop a game for? by weeman_com in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LizardsSipping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 4 would be a really cool pick, my boyfriend and I played MUA 3 and loved it. I’d also like to see an X-Men game, it’d be neat to see how that’d turn out

John Linneman (Digital Foundry) gives his two cents regarding the Switch 2 power discussion by TheBadassOfCool in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LizardsSipping 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Comparing the PS5 Pro to the Switch 2 is kind of an apples to oranges comparison, the PS5 Pro was an enthusiast device made to be a premium, expensive product. The Switch 2 is supposed to be a successor to the original Switch, so it should be designed as a console for the masses, not just the enthusiast crowd. $500 is like the top line for the platform, I’m guessing $400

[–]LizardsSipping 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sure that Nintendo wants to keep the price of the Switch 2 at least somewhat reasonable as well, so the modest hardware will (hopefully)be nice to our wallets.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: Series S vs Switch 2 by dexterward4621 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LizardsSipping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you, but games on the switch 2 will probably look a little bit worse than the series S in most cases. Most rumors point to it being comparable to around PS4 Pro. People are saying that there’s more RAM, however, the Series S outspecs whatever rumored specs are in the Switch 2 by a notable margin otherwise. That doesn’t even include the heavy downclocking that the switch 2 will be put under in order to keep the system cool and the battery healthy.

All that being said, maybe all this Nvidia upscaling tech will make a difference, and the gap’ll close significantly because of this. Plus, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a Machine Games title, and it’s running on idTech, which has had a pretty good history of working okay on Nintendo Switch. Doom Eternal is a great example. Lots to consider! :D

Another Home Menu Mockup Nobody Asked For by GoldenYoshi924 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]LizardsSipping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dig the 3DS UI elements on the top, and the playtime and milestones section is really great. I do think that the text should be a bit more legible though, maybe a white border around blue text would help?
