… it’s a handheld …

GreenKnight23,

I have a Chinese handheld with a 1080p oled display that doesn’t ghost.

refresh rates stay in the 60fps.

cost me $400.

it plays all my Roms, emulators, videos, browsing, it even plays steam remote beautifully.

I’ll never buy another Nintendo again.

I never played MK Wii because of the graphics. The game was just fun. IDGAF about graphics.

Lol, I get it but comparing the Switch 2’s tiny screen to €600-2000 OLED gaming monitors is fucking pointless (it’s where the 100 times slower comes from).

B1ackmsth,

It’s also terrible compared to the first switch’s screen though.

donuts,

Yeah it’s not good, it’s just a weird thing to put in the headline. It’s like comparing a new hatchback with its competition, but then also say it’s slower than the newest Ferrari. I think that should be a given as it’s a fraction of the price

ysjet,

Except other testers found it to be ~4ms faster than the switch 1, in tests where they actually give their methodology.

Monitors unboxed just went “yeah it’s 30+ms, source: trust me bro”

arin,

Pretty sure phones have better screen responsiveness

They’ll release a “New!” version in a year with an improved screen as one of its bullet points, in a bid to get you to buy it again. And people will. See also:

  • The Gameboy Advance SP/New SP
  • The DS/DS Lite
  • 3DS/New 3DS
  • The Switch/Switch OLED
Gerudo,

Granted, all major gaming consoles do this now.

Tarquinn2049,

New 3DS was actually a pretty huge upgrade over the original. Despite the name, it was effectively the next generation of the console. Or at the very least a half-generation.

TachyonTele,

I agree. There's no reason this new console shouldn't have the oled screen by default. Other than planned obsoletion.

Tyoda,

You may consider signing the UK effort, but that isn’t looking chipper either.

done, for whatever it’s worth

Dariusmiles2123,

Same for me, no Switzerland option.

So I can only encourage EU citizens to do it.

RedIce25,

Same, no Norway

practisevoodoo,

Sign the UK parliament one

RightHandOfIkaros,

Me, a US citizen, not seeing a US option. Also me, realizing that means I cannot sign for the other countries because I am not a citizen of EU or UK.

maam,

He abandoned his hardcore group to die in DireMaul. I have no respect for Thor.

I see more people talking about this in the Stop Killing Games discourse than SKG itself, maybe that’s why its failing.

pugnaciousfarter,

A Lil bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

But spreading misinformation on it definitely did hurt it.

atro_city,

Even sadder is that there are no popular EU streamers throwing their weight behind the initiative. What are they waiting for? Does PewDiePie still stream games?

IronKrill,
@IronKrill@lemmy.ca avatar

PewDiePie moved to Japan and while I have no idea what he’s uploaded (or not uploaded) I get the sense he’s basically retired. He’s doing surfing, rock climbing, art, I don’t know that he cares enough anymore to support it.

TemplaerDude,

I don’t understand this fucking clown, why is he holding water for these big corporations?

SuperSaiyanSwag,

It makes me sad that people like him get get enough views and money to live off of

ysjet, do gaming w The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing

So basically, the news here is that the switch 2 screen is better than the switch 1 at 17ms vs 21ms, except for one singular tester that claims 30+, which no other independent tester collaborates… And then they go and compare it to screens that cost multiple times the entire switch’s cost… And this is presented as a bad thing?

Are you kidding me rn

steal_your_face,
@steal_your_face@lemmy.ml avatar

My understanding is it’s worse than the switch 1 and basically every other modern handheld from the PSP onward.

ysjet,

My understanding is that most testers found it’s about 4ms better than the switch 1, and the only tester that found it worse refuses to actually outline their methodology, and nobody can reproduce the 30ms+ number.

Nintendo thinks consumers are stupid… And they are so…

SunshineJogger,

It’s a question of use-case and target group.

Pvp enthusiasts will see this refresh rate as a horror.

Singleplayer gamers and casuals and families won’t ever notice. And that’s far more nintendo’s target group.

Its OK to blaim PirateSoftware for killing the movement with his blatant and explicit lies.

the_q,

What’d he do it say? I’m ootl.

osaerisxero,
@osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org avatar

tl;dr he sandbagged the movement when it was beginning to build momentum with a bunch of, what would charitably be called, misunderstandings of the whole point.

It's covered pretty thoroughly here: https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo?t=1117

Jake_Farm,
@Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz avatar

Given he contradicts himself multiple times in an effort to make the movement look incompetent, I would say it was more than just a misunderstanding.

Underwaterbob, do games w The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam

Zelda 1 seems an odd omission from the supported games. I wonder if some games are harder to implement than others or something.

CallateCoyote, (edited )
@CallateCoyote@lemmy.world avatar

Zelda is there! Remember it’s under “Legend of Zelda.” It looks friggin’ rad in VR 3D. I’m definitely playing through this whole game like this.

The weird one for me is that Super Mario Bros 2 is missing.

Underwaterbob,

I thought I saw in very recent patch notes that there was a community-made version of SM2?

CallateCoyote,
@CallateCoyote@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, I haven’t even started investigating community made content yet. Neat!

HeyJoe, do gaming w The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing

Nintendo: What! If we got better screens you would be complaining thst it cost even more!

amazonrme, do games w One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons

I have a steam controller that is brand new in the box. Valve liquidated them like 10 years ago. I bought a bunch of themfor only five dollars apiece. I have absolutely no use for them and they are taking up space. If anybody is interested, they can contactme and I will send it to them. I would rather see somebody enjoy it.

Maalus,

You should give it a try, it is some of the weirdest and coolest tech in controllers. It’s the only one I use for gaming, dropped every other for it. The gyro aiming thing is such a weird yet natural concept it’s just funny nobody thought of it before them. Lots of settings to go through before it works well for a specific game. I set it up for CSGO and was able to play at like 80% of my usual skill (LEM at the time), with spray control being amazing on it compared to mouse. Honestly, if I had it when I was learning to play FPS when I was young, I’d probably be better on it than kb+m

Bogusmcfakester,

I would love one but I’m in the UK unfortunately
