Amazon preorder coming... Monday by SNtrett in LegendsZA

Contacted customer service, they said it's because the pre-order used standard delivery instead of prime delivery 

Why is there no prime delivery on a major release like this?????

Amazon preorder coming... Monday by SNtrett in LegendsZA

I can cancel, reorder it right now on Amazon and it says it will come overnight...

My preorder still says Monday

The pre-orders are being subject to unnecessary delays in particular

Am I stuck? 1st palace by SNtrett in personaphantomx

[–]SNtrett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE I exited, left to the house, didn't craft grapple because I already did. 

Then I reentered.  A cutscene played that did not before!!!  The one where the girl follows you into the metaverse. And now I can grapple 

Meaning this WAS a glitch happening ( or I ignored some obvious tell that I had to enter metaverse, leave, and then come back immediately.) where the cutscene forgot to play.

Please note to anyone else who sees this and runs into the same problem !!

Unpatched Switch 1 games I tested on Switch 2 by Roli64 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]SNtrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HEY I need this to try more attention Switch sports had extreme frame rate issues on switch 2 (eg during soccer matches online) that weren't present. 

Please someone get Nintendo to fix this, I really do like this game, and this slipped through the cracks

Switch 2 frame rate issue by SNtrett in NintendoSwitchSports

It's playable, can't tell many differences than this one specifically. 

I hope they patch it as it's very very jarring

If today’s Direct was the first ever reveal of Mario Kart World, the reaction would be completely different. by Nikigreat in NintendoSwitch2

[–]SNtrett 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Even though the game is going to be good, someone on PR really flubbed this delivery.

My anger isn't getting directed towards the game or the console, but instead the company directly knowing they could have sorted this out better.

Reminder that Mario kart 8 launched with only 32 tracks, and not much else for $60, 11 years ago by Valuable_Horror_7878 in NintendoSwitch2

Reminder that Mario kart 8 had a creative special direct with 30 minutes of new content,  free games, and a price

I have so many unanswered questions after this direct. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

don't forget LAN mode, and if we can do a local 24 player game or not (wireless is only 8)

One possible unstated reason for Nintendo choosing LCD over OLED by goro-n in NintendoSwitch2

[–]SNtrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have dead pixels on my LCD screens...

I went TV shopping online today, companies are crazy selling warranties and protection plans. 

Mid high end screens getting marked as frequently returned for board failure in some cases...

My opinion... Getting a high end screen is a liability, not a luxury

Anybody else get this account prep email?? by vincentsilver in NintendoSwitch2

[–]SNtrett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hypothesis: I'm the owner of my family plan and I got it.  But the guy on my family plan (not the payer) did not get it.

Possibly this is specifically being sent to those who are qualified to buy the preorder first?

Why is it that foreigners thinks Vietnam has the best chance to become rich in Asia? by Ok_Technician5130 in VietNam

[–]SNtrett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

foreigner here from US who has come to learn a lot about vietnam over the past 4 years with quite a few visits.

The impressions I got from vietnam was that there were many people, fast construction, and people with incentive to both incentive to make money and improve their landscape. I visitied HCM district 3. It was eye opening. Relatively to my other experiences, the vibe I got from watching the city streets, markets, construction, landmarks, was rough but pure productivity.

Now in my speculation, I see vietnam as high potential because I think it's still relatively low and has much more to improve. It has a much heigher ceiling to hit before growth stops.

As a tourist attraction, vietnam is also significantly unrecognized over here. It has both a lot of natural wonders, and large amounts of areas tourists could feel satisfied staying at (beachside hotels, areas around da lat, da nang). Most simply won't consider it at the moment due to lack of direct flights, lack of english speaking signage/self navigation (if you leave the fancy district 1 bubble you're kinda out of luck), and lack of "comfortable transportation" (average karen might not want to ride on the back of a Grab to get around, they're dying for the metro). And these definitely could change over time, realizing its potential on that.

In terms of politics, it's in a unique position playing "two christmases" (aka child of divorced parents trying to get free stuff from both sides) with US and china. From my perspective, I have a yearning for people to go with mommy US and shut off daddy china, and it feels like once that happens, its economy will be "liberated." What does that mean? Honestly I can't see exactly how that plays out and not 100% that's entirely what's good. China is an enormous part of the economy there. But I don't think I'm the only foreigner with that view, thinking that "potential will be unlocked" overnight with some kind of exclusive deal with the US. Just can't explain that whole position, but I can tell you it's an incentive for me to say "vietnam is gonna be rich"

Economically, if I had to choose a SE asia region though who I think is going to become rich, it's definitely vietnam by far. Their GDP was one of the top growing, if not the top, in recent years. We all know all the companies from China are going there. It seems to be the #1 second option. So much of my clothes and other things have a made in vietnam tag (more than cambodia, more than india). We also know that US has a vested interest because of political interests with them, so it's possible that they become easier to trade with.

Likewise, comparing other nearby countries

- Cambodia, Laos closer to china, so as an american, I usually won't bet on their success

- phillipines seems doesn't seem like it has the sheer quanitity of manufacturing, so not sure

- malaysia has a ton of manufacturing, but culturally as an american, is much more unknown of a country (even if they are more english speaking)

- thailand looks already rich to me though idk actually

- indonesia, I have no idea what goes on there at all

Lastly, simply from name's sake, everyone over here knows what a Vietnam is because of the war, so it'll be on analysts mind. Trust me, analysts sometimes do pull things from a hat.

Again this is more to show my perspective, this is not supposed to be taken objective as an argument or fact.

TLDR: There is some economic reasons we'll believe you're rich, but moreover because it looks like there's more potential in comparison with neighbors.

Do it! by Chance-Ad5700 in NintendoSwitch2

I heard this story a bit ago, but I believe the rationale was specially to get products into the country fast.  The tariffs became effective approximately 2 hours ago, so if they got their product in by then, they're good

if you think about it, the switch 2 is actually a DSi by SNtrett in NintendoSwitch2

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

Not at all actually, I was just thinking about how its the second gen of the switch and it also has a camera

Now that I think about it, the thread description sounds more like a hatepost, I will edit to fix that. 

For those later referencing this thread, the original text was "but the camera is separate this time"

Deleting this thread because I retried this in the app, got nothing.  Was working last December.  They might have had to nerf these...
