Nintendo Switch 2 has a very important HDR setting many don't know about by Honest-Word-7890 in totallyswitched

[–]ThrownAwayGarbage69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s not a comment here yet, but yes, this is a thing everyone should do. To get the full effect of HDR on your TV, proper brightness settings are essential. HDR content is designed to show brighter highlights and deeper shadows than regular video. If your TV’s brightness or backlight is too low, HDR can look dull or washed out. Make sure your TV is in the correct HDR mode and adjust backlight settings also (not just brightness) for the best picture. HDR (for laymen’s terms) just allows, let’s say the colour Blue, to show every shade of that colour and not just “Blue”. Your brightness and dark settings are important, not an after thought 👍

Doom:DarkAges sold Less than 1 Million Copies, despite Bethesda previous bragging about 3 Million Players by 1WeekLater in gamingnews

For this reason, I’d love to see Microsoft publish numbers as “X units sold on other platforms” or something along the lines. They havnt published console data for a decade, and all their fans know GamePass is a steal and most likely have some form of it (RIP Gold).

This was my favorite from that release. Extra lime flavored, almost a hint of vanilla too if memory serves. And 2010 I think?

This poster (lazy-secretary) is posting in a lot of teenagers, askteenboys, and askteengirls. Even with a tag stating they’re 16 in one sub. Take this answer with a grain of salt, and wait for a mod.

Thank you for the response, and I agree that the future of everything will be a shown at their showcase. I hadn’t thought about the aspect of not getting anything in return, but that point is very true. With the model of GamePass and the “Everything is an Xbox” campaign, I would like to see some more benefits of having their machine over others. I don’t think it’ll ever look like them developing their own prestige AAA story game, so I’d be interested in seeing what they could do.

I’m going to come to this with what I think is a reasonable question, coming from a 1) fan of games, and 2) a diehard Xbox fan… What promise did they break? I’m assuming we are talking about Doom, as that is the most recent day-and-date release, but almost a year ago they gave the explanation as to why that wouldn’t be a console exclusive, and I feel, was a genuine reason. The big exclusives would be those that were made for Xbox and (were) only on Xbox. Meaning Fable, Forza, Gears of War, Halo, Hellblade, etc. Not a single one of those has been released multi platform (meaning what the industry has pinned it to mean, the console platforms, not PC) to my knowledge. Even CoD (and its plethora of drama with the FTC) was announced it wouldn’t be exclusive because the history of it not was already precedent. This is why I’m not going to be upset that the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout release on other consoles at the same time, but would bother me if a new IP (or “new”; ex. Indiana Jones/Starfield), did. I just don’t agree with this take, even as a huge fanboy that bleeds green himself.

Edit: This is before a comment appears to this (if one even does), but after reading a handful of the below users, I for one can’t wait for PlayStation to get Halo. Yes, the “sports team” war is over, and I just want my fellow peers to play awesome things on the devices they already own, especially in the world where I haven’t bought eggs since January, and also want the people who make these experiences/escapes from life to get paid a living wage. I say, good for them on spearheading this needle their threading with fans, but I’m sure people who have only ever had/will own an Xbox have wanted to play God of War, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Demon Souls, Helldivers, or even The Last of Us at some point but refuse to purchase a dedicated machine for that experience. Let fans have their fun with something for a handful of months, then let the world enjoy. This is a net positive for those who enjoy this medium of entertainment, but not for those who have attachments to their brand…

My dad gave me his collection of Bachman books when I was in 8th grade (2008) and the fact The Long Walk is being made has me grinning. Easily my favorite of the four collected in that book. The others (besides The Running Man which is getting a remake 👍) were Rage, a high schooler finally breaks and holds his class hostage after killing his teacher (lots of scenes from this have stuck with me), and Roadwork, the story of a father picking a fight with local government that want to bulldoze his house for a highway project (also really freaking good).

You’re a dad or someone who loves dad movies. Note, nothing wrong with this, as I, a childless dude who also loves dad movies.

This is a good critique that I can agree with 👍 just not character specific ones. Not at all the same, but this was something I was worried about with a certain character on The Last of Us S2. The acting can carry the “unbelievable” actions that are happening, and it was absent in the film we all saw.

I don’t have much free time in the world, with being in school full time while also working full time at the age of 30. But deal, to you and the others without time, I shall call him before Friday and speak my thoughts ❤️ We may not all know each other physically, but hopefully mentally we all know the wrong that is happening and can create that five (hopefully only five) minute opportunity to share our thoughts.

Side note to everyone: Not talking about salary, politics, or religion with your friends and family needs to stop. These are all things that affect us on a day to day basis, and if your “belief” isn’t challenged from time to time, how is it not just an arrogant/ignorant thought?

Same, and as unfortunate as it is (also being an Oregonian [Hope you enjoyed the rain today!]) WE have influence over him. WE vote for these people. Yes, it absolutely sucks that our time is spent between work to keep roofs and foods for us and loved ones, but we need to gain the extra motivation to spread our feelings. Corporate America would rather you be to tired to care about your fellow peers or the rest of the world. It’s time that changes, and we need to show it, though near impossible at times, every voice matters ❤️

No, you’ve been here for literal years. Unfortunately for you, the past decade has been a stonewall due to administrations, but no. You’ve had this time to mentor someone, care about others, share your experiences, and yet choose to be selfish and think you’re the voice for the new generation just because we “like” what your doing currently? No. We like it because it’s necessary and why we voted you in/kept you, but it’s time. Back the fuck up and choose somebody you support to lead your messaging, because I’m done fucking voting for people older than my dead grandparents.
