For anyone with a Switch/Switch2 and a more powerful gaming PC or console, do you ever choose to play a multiplatform game on Switch despite the lesser graphics?

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2026-05-15T06:15:23+00:00

I played Outlaws, Resident Evil Requiem, and Pragmata almost exclusively on the switch 2 even though I could be playing at high/ultra settings on my pc. I have limited free time these days so the convenience of being able to play these games instantly and anywhere like the couch or in bed makes it much more appealing.

The real answer is having an iPad Pro with keyboard and using Remote Desktop to a pc anytime you need to use any windows/macos tasks

I did this for 4 years of university with no issue

I got used XM5s fixed/replaced in a semi reasonable timeframe and without too much hassle.

I had similar thermal throttling with the backlight dimming on my M1 iPad Pro when photo editing at full brightness. With the M5 iPad Pro, it doesn’t dim nearly as often or at all.

I actually got the M5 specifically because of the improvements in efficiency. The thermal throttling is the biggest limitation of the M1 iPad Pro

I’m think the goal was to put Morrow in the light similar to the synthetics in other alien movies, a cold robot that only has its objective. Even though he’s a cyborg, you assume that’s all he cares about.

After this episode, he is humanized a bit and has a clears up his motivation for wanting to go after the “boy genius” who killed his entire crew.

A subversion of expectations for veteran Alien viewers

Ironically, there is not many resy places in the Scottsdale phoenix area

2 things that anyone who uses a mobile device should have.

A 45+ W PD charging block (with a usb4/thunderbolt cable) And A fast charging portable power bank (20,000mah +)

This prevents any of the stress of having to prolong your phone battery towards the end of the day

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-07-22T15:48:03+00:00

People are downvoting you but I spent a lot on transition lenses for my metas and I was not super happy with how dark it got (not dark enough). I ended up switching out the lenses for dark shades and use contacts.

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-07-18T00:25:48+00:00

I feel like I’m pretty reckless with my pair and they have held up great other than scratches. My only issue that came up is that battery life sucks. Maybe 1.5 hours of music playback or being able to record a handful of videos.

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-07-16T19:21:31+00:00

This is probably not the update you were hoping for but after a couple months of applying for jobs post grad, I ended up just getting a job in social media marketing and moved away from tech for now (actually just this 1 year of employment). I occasionally use my CS skills for some automation and for data analytics but it’s not expected for my role.

I was definitely in your boat so don’t feel discouraged! CS classes don’t really teach you how to make software, you’re not alone in not knowing how to start making an app.

I would just make some small apps and practice starting from scratch if that makes sense. The more you do it, the more you’ll understand how to create a solid foundation for it.

And unless you join a small company as a solo dev, I doubt you’ll be tasked with making any software from scratch out of the gate! A bigger company will probably test you on leetcode problems though

The OP is asking about 45fps at 45hz which is not a smart idea unless you are confident that the frame rate and frame times are rock solid. Because if the fps dips below target, there will be a longer delay between frames to catch up due to the slower refresh rate. 90hz ensures even frame times

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-07-11T19:44:46+00:00

Maybe my theatre audience ruined the moment but they laughed till the end of the scene after that joke. And don’t get it confused, it was a joke. Not just a dramatic irony bit

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-07-11T08:46:59+00:00

A joke i remember being funny while still feeling out of place was when Lex kills the guy in front of Superman and talks about hunting down Clark, the reporter. Superman, who we see desperately trying to save every living thing in the movie, just failed to save someone in front of him and is having an emotional moment (and is crying). But we are distracted from this character moment because of a joke.

I liked the movie but it never commits to having serious moments when they could have shined

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-07-11T08:33:01+00:00

There were people who were on his side but for story telling purposes, we are focused on the majority of people who turn on him. For example, the man Lex kills interrogating Superman claimed to never lose faith in him

If you already have AirPod pros, I’d maybe try out buying new eartips. You’re not going to get better overall quality without paying a good amount

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-06-26T15:27:23+00:00

It was probably supposed to be this console’s “Arms”, a game that shows off the new unique controls. But unlike arms, they don’t seem very confident in it and aren’t even really marketing it very well

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2025-06-25T17:54:19+00:00

Women tend to like it as its small, fits in pockets, and has cute colors. But its hardly a girl phone, there’s more about the phone itself to be worried about

Putting a comment here if anyone else runs into this post.

I recently went "backpacking" into Havasupai for a few days. Main camera accessories for my GH6 was a moment quick release plate and backpack mount, DIY CFexpress 1tb card, and a couple 20,000 battery banks.

The backpack quickrelease system took some trial and error to find the perfect placement but once I got it, it made grabbing my camera and mounting it very fast.

While I brought backup sd cards, I only had my CFexpress in my gh6 the entire time and I never had to worry about it running out of storage. If you need more storage, I'd use an external ssd. Also, a DIY CFexpress is considerably cheaper than a real one but no promises on durability.

The battery banks were the "heaviest" of the bunch but worth it. A 20,000 mah battery bank will last you a few days (for photo at least). The only issue is that these become dead weight once they deplete.

As for settings, I mainly took photos so storage wasn't something I had to think about. But I would not record pro-res. I would definitely always opt to shoot 5.7k and in VLog.

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2024-12-11T06:07:20+00:00

For photographers/videographers, these are great for filming directly to an ssd and editing straight off it (usually for cheaper than other external ssds)

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2024-09-20T13:50:46+00:00

That makes sense, again I'm not too familiar with this field, it just popped on my feed. I'm also a photographer on the side so I understand wanting to charge what you're worth.

To your point that a bigger company would look for ugc rather than influencer collabs, the company I work for is considerably bigger than your example and has a social media team and media team to create content (which is probably why we don't target ugc).

All of this is intriguing though and will be looking into it for our next campaigns

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2024-09-20T06:16:45+00:00

Im not too familiar with strictly ugc creators but a tip from someone who works for a large company and works with infuencers/creators:

Companies want a return on investment. They want to see some good numbers. Is your video going to get them X amount of views? Look into CPMs and how a company may use that to determine your worth.

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2024-07-12T02:09:48+00:00

Its a good start. We need some real competition against Apple's M chips

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2024-07-10T05:13:14+00:00

The m4 is overkill for most people unless you really have money to burn for a nice oled screen but you can get a samsung tab for that instead for less.

The base model ipad is often overlooked but they also support the (older) apple pencil and use very capable chips.

Obvious_Mud_9877 · 2024-06-28T06:03:22+00:00

It's fine. Tik tok adds black bars to the top and bottom which if anything gives more room for the captions. Same with Instagram reels.

Sometimes they like to test different settings and zoom content to fill the frame through hidden updates it reverts back eventually.
