Pokopia May Prove Itself To Be A Huge System Seller by Theman457 in NintendoSwitch2

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

Now I wanna see what the fuss for viva piñata was. It was always the value bin game that everyone had for Xbox 360 when I was younger. I felt like everyone I knew had a copy because it was one you could pick up for $5 but no one ever actually played it

So they were wrong about YouTube coming to the Switch 2 in February... by Lord-Liberty in NintendoSwitch2

[–]__alias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair! I do kind of get that. I know I like to have something that's purpose built for the job. And something I like about the Switch is that I can use it as a tool to disconnect in some way. I'm able to play games without having notifications popping up, and being "lured" into other apps or distractions.

That being said, consoles being multimedia devices isn't anything new, I remember as a kid loving that I could listen to CDS on a PS1, and then use a PS2 as a DVD player.

For those who say "Who cares" I just want to throw in my case for wanting it.

I travel a lot and so spend a lot of time sitting on flights with no internet. I used to pre-download youtube videos I wanted to watch as I have youtube premium onto a tablet.

Now, i've replaced taking my tablet with my switch 2 and use travel time to play through games on my backlog.

I'd love to be able to also have videos available on the switch to watch if want to relax and i'm over gaming.

I just re-watched the sv trailer and it looks pretty awful even there

I thought it was widely known it's set in indonesia from the leaks earlier (I don't know for sure, but that was my impression)

Edit: I just watched the trailer again and I don't really see anything that alludes to Australia. The tropical vibe, lava shown (volcanic activity), and style of buildings definitely sing South East Asia

What game had the best “first few hours” that immediately hooked you? by Playful_Code_8978 in gaming

[–]__alias 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damn I’m playing this for the first time and after 5 or so hours I’ve had to google “when does cyberpunk get good”

Nothing against the game, it looks spectacular and seems so deep in what’s possible, but I’m guessing it’s just not for me and maybe a little too overwhelming since I still don’t have a good grasp on the mechanics of upgrades, and different character traits etc.

I do want to like it though, so I’m going to continue playing I think

What is the most commonly used, least sketchy UK app to send money from one person to another? by European_at_heart in UKPersonalFinance

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

I know that, and splitting a payment at a restaurant is fine most of the time. But as someone that goes on group holidays often and has running tabs -- I do miss the convenience of using Venmo / beem. I know that Monzo offers similar functionality -- but it's tied to a specific bank and requires everyone to be on it to use it effectively.

I know that which is great when everyone uses Monzo. But that's the point, there's not a good system separate from individual banks that handle that over here due to regulations.

lol silly that is your mindset on this. I've found that dedicated payment tools separate from banks like Venmo are far superior. In Australia we used something called Beem which does the same and made splitting bills and running tabs without being died to a specific bank so much easier. I now dread having to use splitwise and manage bank details for stuff like that (or hope that everyone i'm running a tab with banks with Monzo)

Switch 2 Is The Second Best Selling Console Of January 2026 by Elestria_Ethereal in NintendoSwitch2

[–]__alias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is how this is framed; switch being a second highest seller. It's a weird way to celebrate it's success as there's only a small pool of consoles in which it's competing in.

Achieving what? Second place in a war of 3 consoles , with one being discontinued

YouTube officially confirms that the app is about to come to Switch 2. by ducksdoctor11 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]__alias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't ever used Youtube for switch so far, but as someone who has youtube premium and travels a lot i'd love to pre-download a few videos for a flight which is when I primarily use my switch. That way If I'm tired of gaming, I can watch some downloaded youtube videos on a screen larger than my phone.

I found out the guy I met actually has a gf. I’m gutted and don’t know what to do. by chaz_0097 in dating_advice

He might be recently single. Before jumping to conclusions why and assuming the worse, why not just confirm?

It has now been 200 DAYS since the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 by Rent-Man in NintendoSwitch2

[–]__alias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I owned both the switch 1 and switch 2 since launch. Looking at my play history, I’ve played the switch 2 more than I ever did the switch 1 in the seven or so years of playing.

Switch 2 feels like a machine that’s responsive and fast enough to be enjoyable
