If you are a programmer you will have no issues at all. But Java is close to C#. Java Script is different in many ways

I say that if I, a 100% non-programmer, could write code in GML than anyone could do it!

@Anti-Matter My launch-day switch has made this sound in handheld mode for a minute or so after booting up Splatoon 2 & Rocket League with wifi on. Is this the sound? I don't know if it's actually bad, or just a minor annoyance. My console is almost 5 years old, and in the past year, the fan sound has gotten a bit louder, and may be lasting longer, which has made me nervous.

I got a white OLED for myself a week ago as a replacement. I'm waiting until christmas to open it.

@WoomyNNYes
My Switch was making noisy fan sound in both handheld and docked mode.
I found my Switch made noisy fan sound since after i got ACNH DLC.
But sometimes it didn't make noisy fan sound when being handheld mode.
My Switch is almost 4 years old (i bought on 24 December 2017)

@Anti-Matter So, does your fan sound like mine, in the video I posted above? You may have to turn the volume up to hear it.

I want to share a leaked scenes from the Sonic 2 movie!

Here is the actor taking a bath and also eating treats in it!

@WoomyNNYes
Yup.
As loud as from your video.

@Anti-Matter Did they replace the fan, or just the thermal paste?

Did Nintendo fix it? Regardless of if Nintendo fixed it, I question if the repair person was able to see the Switch make the fan sound. I know my fan only gets loud booting up certain games connected to internet via wifi. If the repair person didnt' boot up my Switch with Splatoon 2 or Rocket League connected to internet, my Switch won't make the sound, and the repair person could think nothing is wrong.

Holy cow guys. Today was a complete disaster up until an hour ago. The country we tried to get into introduced new COVID rules three days ago, and we had to fill in a new PCR test form (with a $250 total payment) after being kicked out of the border control site, and driving halfway back to town (two hour drive) because the site wasn't working. It then took two hours to get through, losing us about three hours total. It was never mentioned until we got to the border, and the guys there spoke pretty abysmal English.

What a day!

@TheJGG Wait, wait, I need to be caught up, Your moving you said? or travel?

@Snatcher Nah, I'm on vacation. We set off two days ago and we drove... about 1,500 miles in three days. Absolutely wicked hours too, about 36 hours in the car over 3 days. The rest... see my above post!

@WoomyNNYes
My Switch got applied by new thermal paste when being repaired.
I don't know if the issue was also from the fan itself.

One thing, i live in Indonesia.
There is NO Nintendo HQ branch in Indonesia (Nintendo never open their branch to Indonesia) so i brought my Switch to local games repair shop near from my place.

@TheJGG Its one hell of a Vacation I'll tell you that.

@Anti-Matter Replacing the fan may be needed, but that's just my guess. Granted, if they replace the fan, I think that means they'll replace the thermal paste again - that's not a problem, just stating it's part of the job. I think that's right? It's been a while since I watched a Switch fan replacement video.

Oof! Sorry to hear, @TheJGG.

@WoomyNNYes My Switch has made that fan noise before, but only occasionally. I got mine on late May 2017. I didn't notice it making that noise the last good number of times I played it, I played in handheld mode most recently. I'm actually thinking of getting a Switch OLED as a birthday present, though. So I'd go from a V1 Switch to a Switch OLED. My birthday is on next month.

@Zuljaras I actually did pretty good in my java programming class, but I'm not super great at C++. (I tend to get really overwhelmed while doing C++, since there's a ton of coding involved.) The other programming language I learned was Visual Basic.NET, which I also did good in.

@TheJGG Sorry to hear that. Sounds like an exhausting pain. Hope you're through the border.

@MarioLover92
Is your Switch still making loud noise fan sound or already got fixed ?

My switch sometimes makes a loud fan noise, but it never bothers me, given that it works perfectly fine.

@Anti-Matter No, it hasn't been doing that. My Switch never broke down, either. I've just been playing Mario Party Superstars and everything's been hunky-dory.

I have quick question about PS4 DLC.
How do I see the size of DLC from PS4 Store ?
