Re: Review: 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Controller - TMR Sticks And Hall Effect Triggers Elevate This Switch 2-Compatible Pad

Tandoori

I wish they had the option to have the lavender convex and concave buttons that were used on the original NA SNES and on the original 8BitDo SN30 Pro.

Also both the battery of my original and the Pro 2 stopped working/charging within months. Not a big deal because they are easily replaced with AAs. Not an option now and given my experience with their batteries in the past, I guess I'll give this one a pass. Sad because this series has been my favorite controller of all time.

Re: PowerA Reveals Its New Switch 2 Pro Controller Featuring Hall Effect Sticks

@Coxula I'm sure it happens, it happens with lots controllers, especially over the course of years, but it's not widespread. Joy con drift was happening at a large rate within a year or two of release. How do the incidences of drift on pro controllers compare with that on controllers from other manufacturers/platforms? Not in any meaningful way.

You should learn the difference between anecdote and data.

Sometimes people just want to talk about things they like with other people who like the same things and not have to deal with being constantly reminded of the bad aspects or have to deal with people who want to tell them the thing they like is bad and they are bad for liking it.

It's not "toxic positivity" to want a place to enjoy your hobbies (and we're talking about Pokemon here, not global politics). It doesn't require you completely sequester yourself from other points of view in all aspects of your life. I think a lot of you folks are lacking perspective and need to learn how to just enjoy things once in a while. Avoiding "toxic positivity" doesn't mean you should be required to constantly subject yourself to haters at all times.

There are a lot of negative things about Nintendo that get largely glossed over on this site, because this is a news site for Nintendo fans. There's nothing wrong with that either. I read about that stuff plenty elsewhere on the internet.

It's okay to want to have fun with your hobbies and share that fun with others who enjoy the same things. It's not a referendum on your overall outlook on life.

Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller

Everyone worried about drifting - I'm pretty sure that issue didn't really affect the Switch 1 Pro Controllers, just the joy cons. With what seems to be improved sticks on this version, it's even more of a non-issue than before.

I feel like "stick drift anxiety" has overtaken the scope of the actual issue at this point.

Re: Out Of Bounds Discovery In Super Mario Bros. 3 Lets You Tag In Luigi

@Spider-Kev There is no need to behave like a gatekeeping jerk. These sorts of exploits are interesting because, as stated in the article, they reveal the creative programming used to get the most out of the hardware. If that doesn't interest you, that's totally valid and fine, but you don't speak for the community.

And really, maybe don't be so invested in what other people find interesting. Just move on with your day instead of trying to build yourself up by dumping on other people's fun.

Re: Talking Point: Should We Be Worried About Screen Burn-In With Switch OLED?

Tandoori

I have an OLED that is several years old - I got it just before the Switch originally came out. It's an LG65EF9500, if that matters.

BoTW gave me permanent burn-in of the hearts in the top left side of the screen. It is only ever noticeable if the screen is a solid, medium to dark color (like solid red or blue. Not at all on a solid white screen). I probably put 300-500 hours into that game. But I imagine the small OLEDs they are using for these would be optimized for gaming. And since it's a dockable model, I imagine most play time will take place on people's TVs.
