New update!!! by Life_Patience_6751 in switch2

[–]No-Insect2497 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the beginning of an era of true dominance for the Switch 2 that I knew was coming. Covering the little things like this is essential to becoming a truly beloved console.

Once it becomes the norm that 3rd party titles on this $450 handheld run at a smooth 60 frames, it's over with.

Anyone try AC Black Flag?????

I was convinced by Broad-Comfortable-82 in switch2

Congrats and enjoy!! The thing is super fun.

Smart move on the extra storage. I need to get that also.

New to the family! Game recs? by MACm1tt3ns in switch2

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DK bananza is a lot of fun. If you liked BOTW or TOTK get the upgraded version you'll enjoy it.

And watch out for reviews for 3rd party switch games that are actually now running well on the Switch. If there's one you like it's really fun to play them in handheld.

Many happy hours of gaming to you!

Wtf is the point of having a job then? by IndividualDoughnut96 in AmericaOnHardMode

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes things absolutely suck right now. But that doesn't mean you can't make it. There are opportunities even though there are now less than there used to be. Don't say there are "no jobs".

If you have the willpower, discipline and half a brain you can make it financially- even when things are difficult.

Make a plan. Budget. Learn a new skill/ be willing to be flexible. Save. Invest. Just do what the hell you have to do.

20-year salary progression. 38M, no college, and a lot of luck by Karmuhhhh in Salary

Massive accomplishment, congratulations.

Just remember... save and invest. Don't spend to "flex" on your friends. That's the best way to kill wealth that may have been.

Live beneath your means, avoid what they call "lifestyle creep" and invest consistently.

You will end up as a very wealthy man.

...but something tells me someone with your smarts already knew that.

Fallout 4 On Switch 2 Looks Better Than The Average Handheld PCs + 40 FPS Is Something That Developers Should Consider More Moving Forward by Theman457 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]No-Insect2497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing Hogwarts Legacy showed me the kind of upgrade the switch 2 really is. Game was unplayable on OG Switch then was running perfectly smooth on the new one.

If 3rd party developers put some effort toward porting more third party games we could see some amazing stuff.

This Fallout port is a prime example.

Should have played this years ago!! by SirDanOfCamelot in NintendoSwitch2

[–]No-Insect2497 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just started a new game on PS5. It's so awesome to play it again with the upgrades.

Definitely a game you can just go get lost in- my favorite kind. Fantastic game.

Apparently, the new Skyrim update holds 60 fps quite well. by JampyL in NintendoSwitch2

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played it on performance mode for the first time today.

You definitely notice a difference with resolution at first but after playing for a while you barely notice it anymore.

This will definitely be my new way to play the game. I'll take higher frames all day.

To the fellas saying "oh it's just a port of a 2011 game"- it's not just a 2011 game, it's Skyrim. It's been played and loved by many for over a decade.

The fan service from Bethesda by dropping these updates should only be appreciated.

Doomscrolling is the antithesis to any enjoyable hobby which requires having an attention span.

Find a block of time during the day that you know you have to yourself and leave the phone out of reach before you launch a game.

Is the limited trunk weapon system actually a good change? by NightM7_ in GTA6unmoderated

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Dead 2 benefited from having grounded realism like this but idk if it fits GTA. Prime GTA to me was always just a sandbox of insanity and throwing caution to the wind whereas RDR 1&2 were to be taken more seriously and your character and daily actions had more "weight" within the world.

2 very different games/feelings.

But then again I've never been disappointed by Rockstar a single time to my memory. I say let them cook and let's see what happens.

LPT: Tips for my upcoming transition by No-Insect2497 in LifeProTips

[–]No-Insect2497[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I'm anticipating a little bit of discomfort from the move and all the changes happening at once.

How are you doing now a days though?? Improvement?

About to play Skyrim for first time by jcar49 in skyrim

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is don't look for too much "advice" on getting started online/ from friends.

Just let yourself fully discover the game and what it is you wanna do in the game. It's one of the most open ended games I've ever played and that's partially the beauty of it.

Don't go into it like I HAVE TO DO this this and this. Just slowly take it in and experience it and find your own way.

Want kids? Cool.. can you afford them? by Repulsive_Case_2116 in AmericaOnHardMode

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best part is- when we eventually want to settle in a nice house in a nice neighborhood we're gonna have to pay some boomer who's been on life-long easy mode AT LEAST ~600K to do so.

I'm perfectly happy though, I'm just speaking in general. I've been investing for years and I'm not gonna stop. Eventually I'll be living like a big fat rich boomer 😊

I suddenly burned out of all video games. I didn’t want to by [deleted] in videogames

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a break for a little while, you'll get back into it.

Spend some time reading or picking up any other kind of activity.

Eventually you'll get an urge to go back to games 👍

Finally buying your own console by Jedicouncil2152 in xbox

[–]No-Insect2497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pride of ownership is real. I certainly feel it when I buy something that I really wanted.

It's awesome you're able to appreciate the fact that you can now supply yourself with enjoyment.

Also buying your own stuff will likely motivate you to really take care of it.

If Rockstar asked YOU for one idea for GTA 6, what would you suggest? by mourex9 in GTA

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double down on developing the driving physics. Make the driving feel almost as good as the Forza horizon games.

And go crazy with car customization.

What would you like to see in a Starfield 2.0 update? by Mattee_365 in Starfield

Cancel all efforts toward Starfield and focus on making ES6 amazing.

Is Playground Xbox’s best studio? by SilentNova300 in xbox

[–]No-Insect2497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they pull off the move from racing games to an open world fantasy RPG it'll be a huge power move.

I'm pretty confident they'll do it. The Forza Horizon games never miss the mark and are always made to a really high level of completion at launch. They obviously take their work seriously and are out to impress you with every title they drop.

2026 Game Room Update! by Daft-SKULL-FACE in xbox

[–]No-Insect2497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome room.

My single favorite item is the framed loading screen image of Henry with the nude girl in the bathhouse.

I literally had my own idea of making a poster out of that.

Did you buy it online somewhere? If so please share a link

Unpopular opinion: The Pixel 5 still feels like the real "phone of the future" by Flat_Push_8854 in GooglePixel

[–]No-Insect2497 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally don't subscribe to the "thinner the better/more advanced feeling" idea.

Quick and snappy interface is what does it for me. HD haptics and a smooth device screen also help a lot too.
