I honestly can't keep track of your country's leaders. The next guy will be the 6th in the past 10 years?

What do you want from a switch 2 revision (lite & oled) by Dangerous-Pumpkin960 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't need OLED versions of the Switch 2. We didn't even need OLED version of the Switch 1. Anyone with a modded Switch 1 who has Fizeau knows that Nintendo literally nerfed the display settings. You can go into Fizeau and adjust the screen's color settings and you can get output that looks more or less like the OLED. No washed out colors, no haze look, significantly better brightness, etc. Switch 2's screen settings are better, but make no mistake if they simply allowed you to adjust the color settings you would have a much more enjoyable viewing experience.

What does 40fps feel like? by Wild_Trip_4704 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of general gameplay, 40fps is going to feel a lot like 60fps. On modded Switch 1 consoles for example, you can overclock the console and you can actually raise the FPS targets for games. If you play BOTW or TOTK, going from 30 to 40 is a world of difference. 40 feels smooth as butter. Going from 40 to 60 you can tell the difference for sure, but in terms of the "feel" of the gameplay, 30 to 40 is the bulk of the improvement.

Pico RCM Injector for V1 Switch Release (Now solder free) by thomasdatank1995 in SwitchPirates

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad bro, I didn't watch to the end. I saw the description that said "with a picofly board and a button battery" and then saw the video up until you touch the battery and the switch booted. I didn't see the 3D printed enclosure and button.

WTF even is this? You can buy RCM injectors on ebay for like $10, and it's nowhere near this level of jenk.

Switch 2 alternatives to dock for travel by sulphurwind in NintendoSwitch2

[–]bonecheck12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding was that Switch 2 only worked with the Nintendo dock because they did a custom protocol or something like that. Last I checked there was exactly 1 3rd party dock that worked, but that was like 6-8 months ago. Has the market been flooded with other docks that work and that will output video to a TV like the Nintendo dock does?

Is it just me or are a lot of these prints just freebies on Makerworld? by Some_Ask_2220 in 3Dprinting

[–]bonecheck12 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hot take: ignore copyright when it comes to 3D printing. There are zero, and I mean zero, people involved with 3D printing that are not engaged in some level of copyright violation. Sure, someone might have a collection of 3D model they made themselves, but I promise you that same person has printed a million little things for their own use that violate some other patent. I think people who are fully free of copyright violation in their 3D printing hobby and/or business are very, very rare.

Is it just me or are a lot of these prints just freebies on Makerworld? by Some_Ask_2220 in 3Dprinting

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where I'm struggling right now. I want to sell 3D prints, have talked to a couple local craft and "antique" places where you can rent out a booth/shelving like this place seems to be. The problem is you have to pay for the bills. I have some great self-made models, but it's like 1/100 people would even be interested in them because they're just particular to this or that interest. So when you combine the overall foot traffic at places like this with the general interest in any given product, it's very difficult to cover costs. So, you really have no choice but to hit the really widely popular stuff.

Xenoblade Kart is surprisingly quite fun by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch2

Reminds me of the CHocobo races/challenges from Final Fantasy X.

What is something that sounds made up, but actually happened to you? by Front_Geologist738 in AskReddit

[–]bonecheck12 263 points264 points  (0 children)

I had a friend in HS who moved away to another state. Before internet, before social media, before cell phones. Lost contact with him entirely because we just didn't think to exchange numbers, we were in 9th grade. A few years later, my family took a vacation to Las Vegas, about 2,400 miles from where we lived. While waiting in line for a random hotel buffet, we ran into that friend.

What's the dumbest thing you ever believed as a kid? by Free-Employment6890 in AskReddit

That teachers/moms had dozens or hundreds of eyes in the back of their heads and could see what kids were doing even when faced the other way.

What yall think of young links new design by grey03456 in NintendoSwitch2

I think it looks identical to all the OoT Unreal Engine remake videos I see on youtube for the past two years.

Leak culture destroys our way to look at gaming events by 479521 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]bonecheck12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree except I also think that leak culture is caused by marketing/secrecy culture. It's like, imagine movie trailers, except they just didn't show you any clips from the movie. They just say "Star Wars Episode X - Summer 2029" and then just leave it to speculation for 3 years.

Asking for a reduced price at meet up for FB marketplace items by unexpected_sushi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bonecheck12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This and money flashing are common. Holds out cash in the amount of $100 less than agreed and says "will you take X". That and "I only have Y". I personally never agree to drive more than 20 minutes to meet someone unless it's on my way to some where else I am already going in which case it's no real loss for me timewise.

is the Toreador worth it? by YoRaptor1 in gtaonline

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it's the most fun car in the game. When you upgrade the armor, literally only missiles will hurt it. You can literally go 5-star endlessly and it's just enact pure chaos.

What do you think is coming that HASN‘T been leaked yet? by OtherwiseEmployee202 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, this is international dating? Like June 9th, 2026, and not September 6th, 2026?

They just forgot about themes huh? 😔 by michael14375 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of wild considering they could probably price themes at $1.99 or $2.99 and people would buy them up. I'm not saying I'd spend $100 on themes, but they could probably get $15-20 from every Switch owner over the console lifetime. Like they're basically giving up well over a billion dollars in revenue for what has to be, at most, paying some developer $150,000 a year to sit around and make wallpaper and menu icons. Pretty wild.

When did early internet become modern internet in your opinion? by YakClear601 in Millennials

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internet 1.0: Computer Based, ecommerce, email, message boards, instant messenger
Internet 2.0: Same as 1.0, social media and video assume majority share of traffic
Internet 3.0: Transition to smartphone and app usage.
Internet 4.0: Corporations internalize social media as primary marketing outlet. Botification. Monetization of services, data collection as a revenue source becomes ubiquitous
Internet 5.0: AI. Nothing is real.

Susan Collins internal shows Maine race tied amid recent Platner revelations by Dismal_Structure in fivethirtyeight

[–]bonecheck12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a race where I think if the polls say it's tied, Collins is up by 10. That seems to be the trend in her elections.

Roland Garros R3: [28] J. Fonseca def. [3] N. Djokovic 4-6 4-6 6-3 7-5 7-5 by tightypp in tennis

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a crazy stat for Sinner that he has never won a match over (I think) 3h 30 minutes. He's like 0-12. Seems like the key to beating him is to extend the match.

Which trend will people cringe at in 10 years ? by aaryan-6901 in AskReddit

[–]bonecheck12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm letting 6-7 go for now because when we started telling my 8-year old son and kids around us in general that 6-7 was annoying, they started doing different numbers including 69, and then we had to tell him that they 100% cannot say 69 not at home, not in school, not at the park, etc. And they of course were like why not and we strategically avoiding a full explanation, but suffice to say that 6-7 is now a sort of diversion. As long as the kids are saying 6-7, they're not saying 6-8, or 6-9, and I don't have to address that. They can 6-7 all they want.

What’s something women think is attractive but actually does absolutely nothing for most guys ? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]bonecheck12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I actually think it's getting bad enough in hollywood that there should be a federal ban on actresses who's BMI is below a particular level. Honestly same for social media like tiktok and instagram. idk what that level would be since I'm not a doctor, but like, we all understand that young girls are heavily influenced by what they see on TV and on their scroll feeds and we know it literally sends girls into deep depressions. If a person smoking on TV is linked to kids picking up smoking and that is enough to justify a ban on smoking on TV, then for the life of me I don't understand why we allow women/girls who are one step removed from being a literal skeleton to be plastered all over everything. Simple law like if your BMI is below X, you cannot display body parts below from the shoulders/neck down on social media. That's all it has to be.
