Oh, and about 1/3 of the OLED models use an inferior Sk Hynix eMMC chip (the internal memory) than the Samsung variant used in every other Switch. They run a bit slower, fail more often, and are prone to needing to be replaced due to literally thermally cracking or otherwise failing completely.

It’s also quite possible that since I’m primarily using the more efficient, and, importantly, more thermally efficient Switch Lite (the Mariko / Tegra X1+ revision in the Lite and OLED models uses a smaller fab size, runs cooler and with less energy, and is capable of being clocked higher than the original Erista…

I have slightly varying levels of performance depending on which of our Switches I use, so it’s not a big leap.

Nintendo also forgets to apply thermal paste to the SoC sometimes, and thermals on those devices cause massive throttling to take place.

Considering I’ve had few issues with the game, to the great…

I gotta be honest here, I simply don’t believe you.

I’m used to 240 FPS on my PC.

I know the difference.

I don’t follow the narrative so I must be lying or stupid, got it.

I’ve had no crashes.

I almost exclusively play the games on a Switch Lite, which hasn’t run into any significant frame rate drops.

The only Switch I have had issues with is my launch day, unpatched, V1 Erista Switch, and only when docked.

Even then, still no crashes, no model weirdness, no clipping weirdness. Just a…

Or if you want a 0 Atk for Special Attackers because confusion damage is based on Atk and you want to minimize how much damage you take from confusion.

Goodness forbid you want a specific Hidden Power type.

Nope, eyes wide open.

Not one crash, no huge FPS drops, no weird clipping or models breaking.

Well over 40 hours put into them.

Hi. I have. I’ve played through both games.

No significant issues at all.

I’ve put more than 30 hours into S/V and I honestly don’t know where all the “glitchy mess” talk is coming from. There’s a few engine design issues with not having LoD in a 3D environment done great, but the stuff I’ve seen on media not even close. Only when run on an emulator or with overheating hardware does…

Oh yeah, and all the death and rape threats that women get from “fans” for existing in the game development space. I’m sure that helps tons /s

As a woman in a related field..it’s also because of the rampant sexism, misogyny, harassment, sexual assault, etc., that happens in game development (and to some extent software development in general). Why would I want to work in a field where I can expect to get paid even more less than women already get paid, where…

And the comments are proving the article’s point, as expected.

To the person in the grays all hurt about us being mad about Activision-Blizzard-King and not “important” things like guns, insurance, and drug companies...

You do know we can be mad about more than one thing at a time, right? That we can agree that all corporations are bad?

Holding disgusting misogyny, racism,…

I hope it’s good. If they mess with the story (which they probably should), I hope they can actually patch some of the weird holes in it. Although the combat was great, please keep most of that.

Zack is great, but Genesis’ story feels off.

Stupid and/or that their customers don’t care and/or will conveniently forget as soon as the next shiny thing comes out. There are plenty of folks that get super angry if you dare to bring this topic up when they “just wanna have fun with the new game, don’t make me feel bad.”

I wonder if censure ever gets tired of endlessly playing the absolutely unnecessary role of “devil’s advocate”, because that’s literally all I’ve ever seen them do: try to provide the “logical argument” and defending bigotry (or outright pushing the dog whistles of homophobia/transphobia/racism/misogyny/etc).

Wow, that’s a self own.

However, anyone who actually believes Activision-Blizzard-King will give up microtransactions and/or loot boxes is deluding themselves.
