She’s literally been a major feminist activist and UN ambassador for over a decade.

Trust me, we know. Feel free to hit american companies in their pocketbooks though. It’s the only way they’ll learn. And maybe they’ll fuck off and get out of our government too.

Aww look, now the sealion is moving the goalposts.

We know what you are, go away.

Ah yes, the strawman that ignores context entirely. Nice.

See, if they weren’t white, they would have been charged with greater crimes despite only ‘attempting’ to do this. And you know this.

Fuck off with your sealioning, you damn well know they’re right.

Lol, good try, but we know it’s the same.

My man, if you slapped something at 32,000 miles per hour, you don’t have a hand to cook anymore :P

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.

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”

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

Ahhh, ok. Never seen it, I’m afraid.

Because oil money, and it’s tied to environmentalism.

Nope, it’s a real thing. Granted, I mostly see it used when a meeting ends 30-40 minutes early.

Don’t drink “soda” and shoot guns, you should damn well know better.

The vote was taken under gunpoint, quite famously, actually. Even then, the leaders of two of the leftmost political parties made a point of voting against it, making the rather valid point that the nazis were going to kill them anyway.

Honestly at this point I think someone’s got a bot farm rolling against the switch 2, and Nintendo particularly. It’s really not subtle.

While that may be a valid observation, at the end of the day magnetic actuators don’t heat up like motors do, so it’s actually a pretty relevant difference.

It’s true- it’s well known that hall effect sensors are magnetically sensitive and do poorly in handhelds (like the steam deck, ROG ally, or joycons on a docked switch) for that exact reason- they can basically only be used in standalone controllers. More to the point, since the HD rumble is magnetically actuated, there’s even more interference than just the main system itself + the connector system. You CAN try to account for that interference, but why would you do that when…

Hall effect sensors actually have some major downsides- they have poorer centering, increased power draw, the aforementioned magnetic interference issues, the fact they don’t actually solve stick drift, and finally and most concerningly- they have a REALLY low poll rate. I was able to notice the difference when playing celeste with a buddy’s hall effect controllers, for example.

More to the point, gulikit is definitely engaging in some corporate double-speak here- the switch 2 joy cons use the same analog stick design… that basically every game company has used for decades. NOT the same sticks as the switch 1 joycons. They’re completely different, Nintendo went back to the ‘standard’ design instead of the ‘short’ design that caused the problem in the switch 1.

Probably entirely the former. Nintendo’s got a history of being overzealous with user health (cough constant game interuptions to tell you to take a break cough), and prolonged vibrations ARE bad for your hands (though I imagine no amount of game controller rumble could actually cause health issues), but the ‘motors overheating’ thing is entirely silly…

Because the rumble in the joycon2s don’t have a motor. There’s nothing to overheat, it’s a magnetically actuated disk weight. Like, it’s a whole thing they’re super proud about and have advertised, they can move the weight so precisely using the magnetic actuation that they don’t even have a speaker in the joycons, they literally just run the rumble faster so it acts like a speaker cone to make sounds/music with it. There’s actually a pretty cool demo for it in the switch 2 welcome tour.

Yeah.

There’s actual things Nnintendo could do better, but this weird smear campaign I’ve been seeing is just… weird.

People are inventing issues with nonexistent hardware components, claiming the gamechat button noise when pressed says a slur, claiming the joycon2s have the same stick drift issue solely because they aren’t hall effect sensors (despite nintendo outright stating they rebuilt the stick from the ground up for the joycon2, and the design nintendo is using for the new sticks being the same design literally every gaming company has been using for decades with no issues), claiming that switch 2 ports are going to be switch 1 carts with an upgrade code in them, etc etc.

Like… guys, focus on real problems to get attention to them in hopes of them getting fixed, not just made up bs.

I like how people are very sure Nintendo’s shipped a flawed product just based off some random article speculating that the rumble motor MAY overheat… Despite there not even being a motor in the rumble!

Good lord people, it uses a weight on a spring that’s magnetically actuated. Stop spreading dumb rumors.
