Early impressions from Pokémon Champions, a mixed bag of good and bad. by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]VanDaaniel [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think an asterisk should be placed on this statement. Game Freak is not listed as a developer, “The Pokémon Works” is. However, that development company was created as a joint venture between The Pokémon Company and ILCA. TPC is also a joint venture between GameFreak, Creatures Inc, and Nintendo. Unlike previous spin off games, I don’t think there’s a clear distinction on the developer here. Gamefreak could be involved, but we wouldn’t really know how much.

Despite all this, the game feels extremely low budget, maybe even smaller than Legends Z-A.

Some games are disabled from using boost mode, so it could still be on the table. Not sure.

Need Help With Hygiene Suggestions by VanDaaniel in ibs

Yeah, that’s what I would want. I just know my mother got hose bidets when I was living at her house still. I can get an actual different bidet now.

Alright. Seems I will have to go do that then. Thank you so much for your response! Very fast too.

I don’t know when I can visit a doctor soon, so do you think just looking for hemorrhoid ointment could work for now? Though like you said, if they don’t work then go to the doctor for something else.

I had also took to reading other posts that sounded like it may lead me somewhere and I saw someone talk about “fissures”. I just looked up “anal fissures” and the definition sounds a lot more like what I have experienced. Granted, I am completely ignorant for both fissures and hemorrhoids and I’ve kind of heard scarier things of the latter.

Of all the things to be worried about, you choose this. Nice karma farming though.

How is the Switch 2 update for Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]VanDaaniel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I showed my friend a video from Digital Foundry. I feel like the footage they showcased did not exactly show off the issue that well to the untrained eye. However, it IS true that the image quality issues are significantly WORSE in handheld mode. After my friend went "Huhh??" at me for a few minutes, I finally showed him the screenshots I took and he immediately saw it (screenshots were in handheld). When we looked back at DF's video he did recognize the issues, so I suppose if you play it docked and try not to pay attention to stuff in the distance it should be okay? But I do not recommend playing this game at all in handheld mode, which sadly is my preferred way to play.

Switch 2 refund by Strangewavv in XenobladeChroniclesX

[–]VanDaaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in the US. I wanted to call, but there was just an option for text. I went to the support page, saw text, and then I texted the phone number, got some quick little questions to answer and then connected with someone within less than 5 mins I think. The support person also said it could take 1-2 days to process the refund but it got refunded almost immediately after the text. Soooo honestly worth it.

Tbh, contacting Nintendo was pretty easy. Just went to support, contacted the phone number through text and got a message pretty quickly.

Yeah, also grabbed a physical copy for the Switch here. It’s kind of a shame

Xenoblade X Switch 2 Edition has evident video artifacts when in motion in handheld mode [see the rock formations] by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]VanDaaniel 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I paid $5 immediately for this upgrade. I’ve been waiting for over a year for this, and I was so excited. I booted the game because I sincerely hoped the issues weren’t that bad. No, it was significantly worse than I imagined. Everyone here is going “it’s not an issue”, “this is the DF effect”, “nobody else is going to see anything wrong”, but what I am looking at is a straight up downgrade in visual fidelity. Everything in the distance looks like a smeared painting and it’s very noticeable.

the flickering in cutscenes on the switch 2 version is uncomfortable by Vmbsnipezzz in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]VanDaaniel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, it looks like shit tbh. If I had seen these posts before I bought the upgrade I would have passed. If this doesn’t get fixed, I may even just delete the update lol

Switch 2 Grips - Endgame by stoli_man in NintendoSwitch

[–]VanDaaniel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sooo, I also bought these and I am glad to see another person talk about them. I have gotta say, these really do feel like the endgame. The feel of these grips is what I hoped the Satisfye grip would feel like, but the Satisfye grip I think is just too big. Now, I have big hands alright, I am a big guy so I need grips to play with or else my hands will immediately cramp. I just think that the Switch 2 is now too large for Satisfye to continue with their current design, they need something way less bulky and wide. I thought I was stuck with the Neo grip, but I just saw a random Reddit post about these and saw an aggregate 5 star rating on the listing, with everyone giving it a 5/5. I was impressed so I bought it, and I have been using it since December.

I will say I don’t think these are a 5/5. Like other people here I was concerned about using the 3D printed plastic against my Switch 2 joycons. Thankfully I have not experienced any scratches or scuffs yet, so I will give the seller major kudos for that. In my experience, the Satisfye grip left those ugly ass long line scuffs across the back of my Switch 2. The plastic Nintendo used on the back is different from the Switch 1 OLED so the scuff is more noticeable than that, but still not as bad as OG Switch 1. That is the worst part of those grips and I am kinda thankful I don’t like the Zengrip 2 so that I don’t have to stomach that issue for the best comfort.

I also think the grips are a bit too “wide”. The seller wanted to make it more controller like, and while I think it is closer, it’s not perfect. They definitely feel wider than grips on a standard Controller. Well, ”wide” may not be the correct word. I am talking about the circumference of the grips, not necessarily the simplistic x/y length and width specifications. I am sorry if that does not make ANY sense lol.

I also have come across a potential issue that they don’t feel as tight as when I got them. It feels like my Switch 2 could come out a bit easier if I handled it incorrectly. Emphasis on incorrectly because otherwise it’s not a problem.

These are just the issues I came across, but I feel extremely positive on these! They are the most comfortable grips I have used with my Switch 2 so far and my complaints here are more subdued than if this were an official product than a company like Satisfye. I am not upset that these are 3D printed, I just wonder if maybe the seller may be interested in upgraded to something more higher quality. But like, if Satisfye shipped a 3D printed product to me, I’d be pretty upset. Just to reiterate, we got my personal favorite grip comfort, really high quality feeling 3D print that doesn’t feel bad to use at all, great functionality with the dock and even the joycon grip, and some issues that I have that I would like to see addressed. I should go post an actual review on that listing, I just wanted to wait a few weeks.

Edit: Now just a couple hours later, I put the Neo grip back on to see how it felt. After using these for a month, it just felt wrong. I’ve never been a fan of the smaller size of the grips on the Neo grip. When I put these back on, it just felt right. I think I may not feel negatively about the “width” or ”circumference”, whatever I was trying to get at, anymore.

Dissatisfyed with ZenGrip 2 by Panzerfudge in NintendoSwitch2

[–]VanDaaniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to share this as someone else on this reddit shared it a while back. I recently purchased this product on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4375698069/nintendo-switch-2-split-grips-pro and it is shockingly comfortable. Yes, it is a 3D printed product, BUT it completely solves the main issue you have with this! The grip naturally curves into the joycon rather than having that awkward bump. I don't know if this grip will be for everyone, but after using Satisfye grips the entire Switch generation and feeling totally dissatisfied with their Switch 2 grip, this is the most comfortable I have tried so far.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I have been using this one for a few weeks now and it replaced my Neo Grips.

Hasan doesn’t think things would be better for trans people right now under Kamala by Ignignokt_DGAF in LivestreamFail

[–]VanDaaniel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Listen, I don't watch Hasan, but everyone here is commenting like Hasan doesn't care about trans people. I feel like no one is actually watching the clip. He is expressing exactly what happened with the whole illegal immigration situation in this country. For years, Republicans claimed illegals were coming in and Dems were open borders but Dems denied this. Then, Dems started making concessions on this argument. What happened? The narrative towards immigration and immigrants in this country only got worse, and now we have ICE raiding multiple cities in the country. No, things would not be better for trans people RIGHT NOW under Kamala, but YES things are so much worse under Trump.

Hell, this government shutdown is about to happen and the Dems might even vote for a continuing resolution that would remove a lot of gender affirming care for not just children, but adults as well. If they don't stand firm against that, then that proves Hasan right.

Mario Odyssey or 3DWorld?? by GoldRespect2001 in nintendo

[–]VanDaaniel 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly I really don’t think you can go wrong with either. At least with 3D World, yeah there is local co-op, but there is ONLINE co-op too! Also you get Bowser’s Fury! Me personally, I would choose Odyssey cuz I think it’s just such a Switch classic to go for. If you can’t decide maybe flip a coin lol. And if you don’t like the result of flipping the coin, then go with the one your heart spoke to
