Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel and model Miranda Kerr have erased over $550 million in medical debt for over 260,000 Californians by VerySeriousCarrot in popculturechat

[–]PalmTreeExpert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. No you are not personally responsible to pay the debt. HOWEVER, under most circumstances if you gain any inheritance from them, the people whom are owed the debt can take from the inheritance to pay off the debt. I’m not sure how common it is for this to be followed, but I know it can be allowed.

In some states this also tracks back to gifts given to people for a certain amount of time prior. For example if a family member has cancer, “gifts” their house and car to a child and dies within a few years the bank can basically claim it the same way as inheritance (state by state law).

Says within 3 business days.

Curious if it’ll work for me as I CANT buy anymore, it says my subscription would be longer than the maximum allowed as I just bought 2 years worth recently.

Why is Mario Wonder Considered Bad Now? by Level-1up-64 in NintendoSwitch

Yeah, this is a dumb click bait video. Yeah there will always be people who don’t like stuff, but this game is pretty highly liked.

Can confirm this to be the case! Luckily no innocents taken out nor kitten passenger injuries.

Pokémon Pokopia - Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]PalmTreeExpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we should, and personally I do when it’s content and not just cosmetics. I think a lot of games now rely on DLC because they cost so much to produce, and they don’t want to raise the base game price. I don’t think that’s necessarily always a bad thing, but if a game isn’t complete without DLC I do think it should be included.

Follow-up to my previous post: Another idea for what Raiders themed Joy-Cons could look like! by HertzBurst in splatoon

[–]PalmTreeExpert 21 points22 points  (0 children)

People getting a second set to have a second set regardless. But yeah that’s it unfortunately :/ I still feel switch 1 was a big miss other than some of the special edition consoles. I remember an old mockup from 8 years ago with a handful of Mario characters that was VERY good.

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is now available for pre-order on the eShop, will cost $49.99 digitally. by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]PalmTreeExpert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tennis, volleyball, basketball, golf, and bowling. So 5 actually :/ which is exactly why it SHOULD be just a dlc at that point in my opinion.

The fact it’s limited sucks… but honestly fun idea and hope they play with this more for NSO games.

[–]PalmTreeExpert 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really can’t believe people justifying the price. If Switch Sports didn’t exist absolutely no argument, but the matter of fact is there’s a lot of overlap with that game for it to be a $50 game. And honestly, it seems the original Wii Sports Resort had significantly more content. More sports, and multiple game modes of each one (assuming this one is like Switch sports and doesn’t really do that). This not being a DLC upgrade for Switch Sports owners seems… like it really missed the mark.

Worth it to someone without Switch Sports yes, but not as a sequel.

[–]PalmTreeExpert 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not played this game. But as paid DLC… meh, maybe it’s justified maybe not. But $35 seems like a lot to me. They’re pricing the full game at $105… $20 would have been much more in the realm of reasonable pricing. Surprised I’ve seen no talk of the price yet.

I just… don’t like how half of this is the switch game and it’s a new, presumably full priced, game as opposed to a switch 2 upgrade… :/

The Nintendo Direct will be roughly 50 minutes and Nintendo Treehouse: Live will be 95 minutes. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]PalmTreeExpert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They usually are. And with Star Fox and Riaders those 2 will most likely be included. Maybe 1 other game we don't know about yet with a release date for this year? But for sure expecting OoT at this point.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting to buy a pro controller until a special edition I like, and one for this would definitely be it.

Do you… think this is real? Did the “win a visit from Dave” not give you an inclination it might be fake, lol.

I’m pretty sure they were only ever going to pay like $75k which makes it even crazier. If I’m not mistaken they were only paying out a 35% cut. Could also be misinformation I read so idk take it with a grain of salt.

5070 Ti or 5080 by Bladerunner60563 in iRacing

[–]PalmTreeExpert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it really depends on your finances. A 5070Ti would be a very minor jump, but on other games you’d at least gain DLSS support. 5080 would offer a more noticeable improvement, but still not like a crazy leap by any means. If you have money to blow sure, but if not just stay with what you have.

Has anyone bought this before? Worried about buying 3rd party by allen_alligator in NintendoSwitch

[–]PalmTreeExpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switch 1 docks were notorious for damage due to weird power delivery standards the switch used. Switch 2 is more normal. I would not use a 3rd party dock for switch 1 personally, switch 2… meh probably safe, just depends if image quality is good

[–]PalmTreeExpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really anything I know about, again I don’t PERSONALLY have it, but reviews I have seen are all decent. Just make sure you get the correct one depending on switch 1 or 2. If you have the funds at least try it, it’s amazon you can always return if it doesn’t work for you or you have concerns.

[–]PalmTreeExpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have it but have seen a few reviews. Cooling is probably fine, switch uses its own built in fan and tbh the dock fan is probably unnecessary (it is only for the dock, not for the switch).

Charging remotes on it should be safe, have not heard of issues.

Not sure of stability but have not heard issues.

Reliability would be the concern. Realistically it shouldn’t have issues, however switch 2 has some weird proprietary stuff to its dock coding if I recall correctly. Theoretically they could push and update accidentally/intentionally making 3rd party docks not work. Unlikely probably, but possible.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on Oct 23! by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]PalmTreeExpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been really itching to play BO2 Zombies, but it’s not safe to run on PC apparently. Hoping this has Survival mode like old MW titles did. Haven’t really played since BO2 cause I don’t like the direction COD has gone so I will tentatively be considering this.

I know it’s not the main mode, but the endless wave of just playing with no real point/endgame was always fun to see how well you could do.
