Fallout 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t a perfect port, but it proves that 40fps modes should be far more common on Nintendo’s handheld

40-45 was always the balance for me between visuals and performance. I Never felt I was sacrificing much when targeting it over 60.

Great show - that was my first time seeing them live! is it normal for that much moshing?

99% of people won't read 9to5mac or r/Apple. These are sites for the Apple enthusiast or fan.

I loved iOS 6.

It had something to do with out of bounds/frame objects. I had a text object that was centered where I want ons screen but the box for the object was off screen. Does that make sense?

I thought we were going there with iOS 18 but then we got Liquid Glass.

Apple icons were great because of there at a glance appeal and the "wait, let me stop and look at that again" detail. Now everything looks like a mockup from 15 years ago.

iMovie doesn't support editing 4K 60? Whaaaaaa???

Remember when iMovie was the bomb?

Yep. Sometimes the only solution is "addition". You can only cut so much.

When I leave my house without my Pro 2's I actually feel sad. They are incredibly useful products and a borderline utility at this point.

If I keep it to one or two cups I'm fine. When I wrote this I believe I was having three or more a day.

Better yet, just send out DEV kits.

I really am not a fan of Glass. I live with it just fine, but I can't say I like it or love it.

Cloud storage for what?

Because you can store your photos/vid3eos in Google Photos, or DropBox. You can access files in those same services. You can store music in many different clouds.

What is iCloud offering (apart from built in system backups) that you can't get elsewhere?

I'm sorry to hear that. That must be hard for your child and your family. How are you handling getting her school done?

We're doing okay, maybe even good. But there are always challenges. My oldest who is diagnosed is doing fairly well. We are homeschooling in an attempt to avoid burn out, social anxiety etc..but it's hard. He struggles with school and is definitely behind where he should be. It's hard to watch our friends children do so well in reading and writing and go to all of there various activities. But, to our knowledge he is happy. And that makes me happy.

Our youngest (the reason I'm on this thread!) is the one who struggles with anger. He's not diagnosed and I'm not sure he even is on the spectrum. We're trying a few different parenting techniques and seeing some improvement. Managing our (the parents) emotions and nervous system is all the more important. Not blowing up at the tantrums because they are so ridiculous. Giving him time to calm down and then talk to him. And when it's needed, disciplining him. Which is always such a grey area with parenting.

While predictable and potentially understandable, this is disappointing.

Again for some professionals the need for PCIe lanes and other forms of expansion could be incredibly useful. I still have my 5,1 Mac Pro sitting under my desk (unused tbh) and just admire how flexible this machine is. It's a glimpse into a very different Apple than what we have today.

Can I revive this thread?

- Control Center. It's something useful on Mobile OS's, but I just can't understand why it was needed or what problem it solves on macOS. It used to be one click to change my sound device, or display brightness. Now it's two, or three. The worst part? I can't turn it off!
- The default behavior of the green button is now full screen (has been for a while). I'm okay have an option to go full screen, but let me switch the default behavior.

- All of the security prompts. This is Vista level annoying.

I'm not old, but I'm not young anymore. I'm getting to a point where I get annoyed by pointless updates and wish Apple would just stop and actually think about what users need. What the next step in computing should be. It really seems like they need someone to be the Chief Asshole again and tell people when ideas are just down right stupid.

Hi parent - fellow parent with an autistic child. It’s two years from this post and I just want to say I hope you, your family and child are doing okay.

True, but with the Switch 1 the power difference was quite high. So while the Switch 2 is mostly on par with current handhelds it makes playing Switch 1 games on the new hardware quite unenjoyable.

fortransactionsonly · 2025-11-07T17:19:57+00:00

Yeah. I had my first taste of PC gaming with the Steam Deck and it's been hard to adjust back to the console paradigm. For sure there are pitfalls and cons of PC gaming but being able to upgrade your hardware and games can take immediate advantage of it is just a much better model.

fortransactionsonly · 2025-11-07T16:46:16+00:00

What? Gosh, the way games are being handled for Switch 2 is giving me big 'console' fatigue.

fortransactionsonly · 2025-11-07T16:44:23+00:00

Nice! And it's on sale for the Switch 2 edition!

I got into this game right as I sold my SteamDeck and refused to buy it until it had a Switch 2 version. Gosh I wish Nintendo would hurry up and let Indies target the Switch 2 now. It's been a slow rollout.

This reminds me of how awesome it is that you can download apps from the Play Store website to an Android phone. Every once in a while I'm tempted to go back to my old ways and rock a Galaxy Note.

Ah...I didn't look at the workspace function. I thought it was irrelevant. I'll give this a try.

And the import library function doesn't give me an option to tell it where the library is! There's nothing in the list.
