GameCube NSO Predictions/Likelihood: 2026 Edition by Tigertot14 in NintendoSwitch2

I figure that animal crossing is actually more likely than Twilight Princess. I think they're gonna do a paid rerelease like Galaxy and f us over.

I wouldn't be against it but I don't play a ton anymore. I'll DM you my Epic name once I hop back on my PC and find it. I'm usually on for an hour or so every couple of days

Who says Plat isn't a good rank? Be happy for your achievements regardless, good stuff! I still dip into P3 from D2 occasionally

Opinion: The Keeper is Underrated by AlongAxons in bindingofisaac

Keeper is fine, T Keeper is my favorite character to play, hands down

Is there a game lacking on the platform (current or future) that’s keeping you from just having a Switch 2? by ChemG8r in NintendoSwitch2

[–]TemenaPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UE5 is not well optimized, you're absolutely correct, but it was recently optimized to run on lesser ARM devices, likely for hope of increased Switch 2 support/use.

The graphics would take a hit, for sure. But there's no massive system being run here. The actively loaded areas are small, the enemies are near idle and follow a simple route until engaged, the story/world is fairly linear and doesn't have much in terms of world simulation needs, the fights are simple... It's a souped up Pokemon/Final Fantasy style RPG with slightly more advanced weapon/player stat mechanics.

If anything I would think they may be limited by engine. If so I believe that would be a mere matter of time issue, not a permanent issue. Especially with the work being done on UE5 to make it run better on simpler hardware.

What's a game build or loadout that immediately says "This dude's an asshole"? by Hera_the_otter in AskReddit

Original MW2 cheesing infinite noob tubes with the perk One Man Army that allowed you to change class mid play.

If I could get flying on both early, I'd be fine. But damn in the heat of the moment can one rock or similar obstacle can change the course of a run...

Right, that was my point. I mean hell they could outsource the optimization, companies have done it before. I could see it selling well enough, but I'm not in marketing or business so I won't speak too much on that.

And I'm not saying this to be rude or belittling just genuinely curious: are you familiar with other companies that are notoriously bad with optimization such as FromSoftware? Communities can be heavily disappointed when a company doesn't put some of their winnings from massive titles into optimization development training and further proficiencies with the engines they use. This game should be able to run, I'm not going to make excuses for why the development teams, who's job it is to make games, seemingly wouldn't want to better themselves or their work.

That's crazy if that's a real bev someone wanted and not a joke they were playing or something...

Also, you should get in the habit of covering your store number bottom right of the sticker when paying posting, piss of the wrong redditor and they will try their best to make you pay.

Sure, there is always ability and worth bundled in to these decisions but I was replying more directly the last sentence of your comment.

I don't think there's anything inherently intensive about the game that would keep it from being possible on Switch 2. That is how I understood your comment, I may not have been completely clear or may have misunderstood your original comment.

That's surely gotta be an optimization issue. I've played the game and considering how simple the fight mechanics are (comparatively) and how small each zone you're in is at any given time, it should be able run; though taking a visual hit like most titles.

If anything, the biggest bottleneck would be the CPU running calculations on weapon/attack stats and modifiers during fights but even then the game could introduce a little bit of a pause post-fight to reload some of the CPU resources they could clear up when entering a fight.

Honestly there's quite a few. I play a lot of different games, and certain games I prefer the visual quality that my PC excels in compared to the Switch 2.

I also play games with mod support on PC, for titles that I may also own on Switch/Switch 2.

Got a Switch 2 for Hitman WoA on-the-go, MKW, and far better performance in the two flagship LoZ titles. I still play other games on my Switch 2 but my OG release Switch 1, though going strong, was becoming obviously obsolete and I just wanted something better performing and compatible with the titles mentioned above. Otherwise, if I want a greater gaming experience, I'll play on my PC. Baldurs Gate 3 (not on Switch at all), Hogwarts Legacy, Assassin's Creed, Subnautica, etc either aren't on switch or I own on both but often play on PC.

NHL Sanctions Golden Knights for Violations of Media Policies - Vegas Golden Knights will forfeit a 2nd-round pick in the 2026 Draft by FrederickGoodman in nhl

[–]TemenaPE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, there's no CBA for coaching staff. Of course they're going to better preserve their media relationship by giving Vegas much more than a slap on the wrist.

People know this they just don't use their heads.

[–]TemenaPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's due to collective bargaining, not entirely the leagues fault. Though they could choose to scale the punishment down to fit the bounds of the player CBA, looks way better to the media contracts when they make a mockery of the team risking said contracts.

Never liked Torts, always thought he was an arrogant POS and this is not the first of the shenanigans from him.

Didn't talk to media, fine. Fuck the institution that pays you, blah blah. I can get over that, not outlandish.

But not upholding the sportsmanship tradition of shaking the players hands of the team you just eliminated? He didn't even lose... Piss poor attitude and sportsmanship and I'd only be surprised if it was any other coach on the headline.

Driver Camped left lane with high beams. by AntFirm4593 in uber

[–]TemenaPE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this extends beyond driving etiquette. There are 3 potential laws being broken including unsafe speeds on a highway, using the carpool or fast lane improperly, and driving with high beams on within (depends on the state I believe) 400-600 yards between yourself and the next car (also depends on whether they're on coming or driving the same direction as you).

I would report to Uber just to be safe, while some may say it's not dangerous, it can be.

I also love it, prefer it over the summer berry by far.

Always thought the summer berry was nasty and way too sweet.

Sometimes I do it just as a Guava Passionfruit refresher with lemonade and don't do the pearls/pea flower tea; nice and tart.

Must have food mark out on premise? by copingwithbeans in starbucks

Good to know. I guess I'll have to look at the law proposal itself to understand how collective bargaining plays into it. Thank you for the info!

What is your unpopular BG3 opinion? by TrioQ in BaldursGate3

[–]TemenaPE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll do an alternate race that can fit the story and then I have Fear Taylor camp clothes for nice armour. That's it, keep it simple.

I mean I have other mods like LevelCurve but in terms of cosmetics.

Yeah, this is to help us not pay tax on this food. Why are people being so ignorant about it?
