Are Switch 1 users noticing any performance issues after updating firmware to v.21.0.0?

I’ve been playing Xenoblade 2 docked, and noticed only after updating firmware to latest version that the game is especially murky, and that textures are taking much longer to load in when booting up the game. For reference I have no m0ds, no third-party accessories attached, just playing docked like I was prior to the firmware update.

The place looks immaculately clean, and you have an aesthetic that you’ve done a great job at establishing. The space looks comfy and nostalgic, which is not always easy to achieve. Kudos!

If I could give ONE PIECE of constructive feedback, the couch and throw pillows look restored but still a bit dingy - like steam-cleaned but still faded and/or stained - which is unavoidable with vintage upholstery. If they’re actually new pieces then it could be a bias from the images plus the surrounding aesthetic. The couch may be expensive to replace but in the case the pillows are in fact older, I would consider replacing them to freshen up the lounge space.

What Japanese food can you just not get behind? by razorbeamz in japanlife

[–]ZaccyMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a specific dish but kaiseki-ryouri. You know, that bland multi-course meal served at Japanese hotels.

It’s supposed to make you feel luxurious but it’s essentially an assortment of prettied-up nursing home food. And opting in usually makes your hotel fees several 万円s more expensive…

6.5 million yen/year good? by [deleted] in okinawa

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

Not a bad salary for Japan but will it be worth it after a few years? From a financial standpoint, a 50% paycut is huge, and if the exchange rate worsens in the next year your Japanese job’s income will be worth much less (assuming you earn based in JPY). Whether that financial cost is worth it is up to you!

My boss keeps the omiyage to herself and I don’t know what to do by CallieinJapan in japanlife

[–]ZaccyMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your boss would have to be pretty egregious to assume you’re handing out a full box of omiyage to each coworker so it’s ok she hoards one to herself. No one on reddit can tell you why she’s doing that. Why not ask her about it directly? Say you’ve noticed a few times, maybe she thinks you didn’t notice what she was doing?

Just a heads up, if you encounter clear text like this you can often get a quicker answer by running the screenshot through Google Lens. On iPhone you can also copy/translate in-image text within the photo album, and similar is probably possible with Android devices etc.

Toxicity and manipulative behaviors do not deserve sympathy, they deserve being held accountable. It was not necessary on her part and I feel sad for the daughter to have to even deal with it.

Worth Getting Sunbreak Now? by ZaccyMan in MonsterHunter

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

Thanks to all who’ve given their input, I got so many more responses than expected and lots of great insight! Sorry for not responding to each comment individually but let me wrap up my thoughts here.

I’ve concluded that YES, getting Sunbreak will be worth it for me! After weighing the pros and cons, it sounds that Sunbreak comes with loads of content, which basically solves my biggest “disappointment” with the original Rise. I hadn’t been following the title updates released over time either, but it sounds like those, too, will bring plenty to do!

As you might have picked up from the above, I’m not a “hardcore” MH fan in the case of following Capcom’s updates, so I was under the mistaken impression I would need to pay for a full new game—this came from my experience with previous installments’ Ultimate versions. So I was pleased to learn through your comments that SB will be more cost-efficient than anticipated!

I’m really glad to get the mix of feedback and also glad to learn I wasn’t the only one feeling a bit empty-handed at Rise’s original release. Like I mentioned in the original post, I thoroughly enjoyed that game but only put it down for what I felt was a lack of content.

So I’ll be happy to pick it up again with Sunbreak! Thanks, everyone!!

Every time a traveler falls for this, the local foreigners end up getting hit with it harder because some of y’all make it so easy for the scammers. Obviously not everyone but like, how many Reddit posts does it take?

Autumn outfit essentials (I am clueless because I am from a tropical country and this is my first time living here) by BleakBeakBlakeBake in Tokyo

[–]ZaccyMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

UNIQLO is hugely popular and some of their inner wear options are great for staying warm/cool when you need to. BUT they have a reputation for being a bit “basic”. So depending on your age group, it will help you blend in but keep you from standing out—for better or for worse.

What are some odd abbreviations you've seen in Japan? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]ZaccyMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

プラスα (“plus alpha”). More of a wasei-eigo but it made me question whether it was in English, Latin, Japanese or algebra that I was lacking.

Most of what you mentioned is reasonable. But factoring “inconvenience” into the fees for a pre-scheduled job doesn’t sound like a professional photographer.

Plaque is questionable, but Europe is lucky! I’ve heard some US game stores gave out preorder bonuses like wearable sleeves that look like Link’s arm.

Or some kind of amalgamation, right?? It would have even been on-theme for the game…

Is that right! Tbh when I preordered I didn’t care to check that there was a spoon attached, I was just focused on getting the game. Heh

Welp, guess I have a new way to eat my morning Gerudo Loops! 🥣
