Re: Creator Of New Checkout Bot Targeting Online Switch Stock Discusses Backlash

Also various online Auction sites used to have 'Sniper Bots' which you could rent monthly set, to buy a specific item(s) at a specific price (as a dealer/auction-er) which IMO made the auctions as a scam. Potentially buying your competitions deals dirt cheap and resell higher...You had no chance on beating a bot to a cheap bid, at the last minute. Not sure whether they're still in use or not.

Re: Nintendo Switch Players Advised To Secure Accounts After Numerous Unauthorised Login Reports

SyFyTy

Many people have many accounts over the net (I have over 70 on various sites) each wants 2 step, each wants to give you a set of recovery codes) this is ludicrous. These sites need to secure their sites/services better and stop dumping the responsibility on the site user. This is the same thinking that's gotten us into paying more for games that are no longer fully contained on their SD cards. 'Feed it to them piecemeal and they'll swallow it.' wake up people.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Might Contain In-Game Purchases

... And the feeling they've just ported the mobile version over is getting stronger.... this doesn't bode well. IMO the extra DLC is what ruined Ult. smash bros for me.
Regarding people readily/willingly accepting last-minute price additions/hikes; "A fool and their money are soon parted", became popular for a reason, Keep paying what they charge and they'll keep raising the price. I'll wager no one willing to buy DLC has a savings account for real-life emergencies.

Re: You Might Not Be Able To Transfer Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Data To Another Switch

Surely anyone who understands business economics realizes the only real reason to have one_island_per_console is a push to sell more consoles. Any other excuses/reasoning is/are a pure farce.

The Switch is a strong demonstration N needs to hire experts at creating better infrastructure, from their saves to non-existent system transfers to their online store. They seem to be 'phoning everything in'.

Re: Switch Named Most Fragile Product Of The Year By French Consumer's Association

@Seananigans Yah I used to think like that too, I'm on a fixed income (very cautious with my kit) and purchased a pro controller day 1, and use my joy-cons less than 20 hours. They drift like the wind. I thought that's about the hinge breaking ds lites until mine broke and N admitted publically they used inferior materials (plastics) in early productions.

Look, People, if you don't teach your children coping skills and leave it to TV/net/society to do that, don't be surprised when your kid throws a rod when not getting his/her way. It is mostly your fault (privilege and responsibility) as an adult to teach them to handle their emotions in a healthy manner, regardless of the activity. This simple task likely leads to fewer shootings in schools too. Big Surprise there!
