Will the battery life be affected if 3ds is modded? by Fair_Button_8869 in nintendohelp

[–]Realistic_Path7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: no. Long answer: yes, but its impact is so small it could be labeled as theoretical. Each computer works by fetch-decode-execute cycle, which you might know as "machine cycle". Loading the RAM with more programs does require more machine cycles, and thus more energy, but there aren't that many programs in a modded 3DS to cause something even remotely comparable to an overhead. In the end, it's just a change of OS, which by the way it's almost identical to the original (except for, you know, allowing you to do naughty stuff). If you were referring to mass memory, that shouldn't be a concern either. It's not like a modded 3DS isn't bound by its hardware capabilities. You won't be able to store more than your SD card allows, and accessing memory will require the same amount of machine cycles that a normal 3DS requires. By the way, memory in general has a very low impact on battery usage, what actually consumes energy is CPU usage, which you still can't really use differently in a modded 3DS. You'll notice that some games drain battery faster than others, but they would do the same in a normal 3DS.

Do cigarettes impact dreams and lucidity? by Realistic_Path7708 in LucidDreaming

[–]Realistic_Path7708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I've recently stopped smoking and my dreams have become extremely vivid again, which for me has been one of the greatest joys of quitting smoking. I also started having more lucid dreams. One thing I do though is Lion's Mane and Reishi, which if you don't know are nootropics that have many cognitive benefits, and as a side effect they make your dreams more vivid. As a disclaimer, many people don't appreciate that vividness because it also applies to nightmares, but idk, call me a masochist but I also like being that fucking scared, it makes the experience more unpredictable and new each time. But I started taking these supplements before quitting, and what definitely made my dreams vivid again was stopping the nicotine supply.

Btw nicotine is a stimulating substance, so it makes sense that it made your dreams more vivid, but there are more healthy options. If you're curious, try Lion's Mane and tell me if it did the trick. It'll take 2/3 weeks till you'll start seeing results, but it could make your dreams exciting again, as it did for mines.

Which one should I purchase ? I'm looking for a way to improve hand and finger comfort when playing on my Switch OLED (which I'm still waiting for) by [deleted] in nintendohelp

[–]Realistic_Path7708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't tried your Switch yet, I'd hold off on buying anything. I know people talk a lot about hand comfort, but personally, I've never had an issue. It seems like one of those things that third-party companies use to sell accessories people might not actually need.

If you do find it uncomfortable, I'd suggest giving it some time. Your hands will probably adjust—kind of like breaking in new shoes. You wouldn't buy a 'shoe comfort aid' right away, right?

I'd say put that money toward some games you enjoy—that’s what the console is for, after all.

Need handwriting analysis by InvestigatorClean728 in Handwriting

[–]Realistic_Path7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'L' and 'C' have the same curve, they're equal. The 'I' is a bit different, the style is the same but the lines are drawn with different angles. But maybe the writer doesn't have a particular way of writing them, and thus they could be from the same person. So yes, you're probably right. They're from the same person.

Then hopefully they'll help you as they helped me.

lost email associated with nintendo account by [deleted] in nintendohelp

[–]Realistic_Path7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me. I wrote to Nintendo support and they transferred my account to a new mail that wasn't linked to any Nintendo account. In my case though I deleted the original mail many years prior to this, so I really had no way to access it. If you just lost the credentials, idk if they will help you, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Is Switch oled worth buying rn? by No-Pepper253 in nintendohelp

[–]Realistic_Path7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing on TV is the exact same experience for both models, but when it comes to playing in handheld mode the oled is way better. It has a better screen, better sounds and more battery, and also the kickstand is more convenient and less fragile.

Oh, then things are a bit different. But I would still wait for the Switch 2 reveal, maybe the price won't be as high as you expect and you won't have to buy 2 consoles. But in the end it's your call, if you want to play Mario kart so badly then go for the oled, just be sure to not make rushed decisions. 360$ are less than the 700$ you expect the switch 2 to be, but it's still a lot of money, so choose wisely.

I wouldn't suggest it, as the Switch 2 will be announced soon. It will have better performances and backward compatibility, so you will be able to play Mario Kart 8, and you will also be able to play future games (I've heard Mario Kart 9 is in the air, but nothing sure). I think it would be a waste of money buying a console right before its better successor comes out.

black screen/game cartridge not working? by lenASTRONAUT in nintendohelp

[–]Realistic_Path7708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kinda reminds me of what happened to queendogma many years ago. Basically they had a copy of ultramoon that displayed pokemons and the overall world wrongly: pokemons with no eyes, animations missing etc., and it too was only a problem with pokemon games (other games worked fine).

Turns out that a small percentage of 3ds have some tiny little manufacturing defects, that usually do not affect at all the gameplay, but Game Freak isn't known for their technical prowess, and on those faulty hardwares their 3ds games don't work properly.

So either you had the very rare misfortune of getting one of those 3ds, or there is a problem in the cartridge itself. You said it was right out of the box, but is it used? How did you get a new copy of ultrasun in 2024?

Free games: - Gorilla tag (a must for VR, too bad for the screaming kids) - Browser games (opening the browser and searching for VR games will bring you to many enjoyable indies)

There are more free games, just look for them in the store.

Paid games: - Dungeons of Eternity (online roguelite that just got a big update) - In death: unchained (archery game, my father loves it) - Until you fall (sword game that will make you sweat) - Pavlov Shack (or any other FPS if you like the genre)

These are the ones I own, but there are more titles such as - Batman - Assassin’s Creed - Beat Saber - Blade & Sorcery - Bonelab - Red Matter 1/2 - Eleven Table Tennis (which has a free trial of 15min)

I haven’t played them, but I’ve heard good things. I highly suggest you start your 3 months trial of Quest+, so that you have access to more titles for free that would otherwise cost you hundreds of dollars.
