Apollo here, but same energy

Is that actually true, or just internet speculation? I remember reading counter points that other devices with magnets used Hall effect sticks without issues.

The thing is, even the new Pro controller uses potentiometers for the sticks, so I doubt magnetic interference to Hall effect sticks was even a consideration in the Nintendo engineers minds. They were going full potentiometer from day 1.

Jesus Christ the amount of back and forth they’ve done with this FM… and each iteration takes YEARS

There’s a lot of good reasons it won’t… they need a lite version… smaller, lighter, better ergo and no detachable joycons, for less money. The switch 1 lite is the version all my extended family double and triple dipped on. It was just kid friendly.

They release a version like that 2 years from now, and there’s a good chance they can keep the sales going into a new generation of kids.

Is 1x at Gen 3 speeds enough for a GPU of any merit?

I’m finally playing TOTK, now that it’s not a stuttery mess. Also looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 later this year.

But just in general, it’s nice to have a more powerful machine with a bigger, nicer screen to play thru my old library.

Yeah for sure. I’m not going to get one until they make a Switch 2 OLED. I’ve got standards, man.

The one I bought last night is totally going to be my wife’s.

Yeah I dunno how locked down SteamOS is, but if they let you, then it could probably work

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

And pretty sure SteamOS only works on AMD GPUs

It’s called a reverse sear and I’ve found the cook tends to be really even and tender when using this method vs searing first.

Just gotta go in the morning before everyone else gets there!

 

Today’s Memorial Day special was USDA Prime Ribeye from Costco, homemade potato salad, and sautéed cauliflower.

Steak was cooked on a Weber grill at 225 till internal temp of 105, then seared in blazing coals for one minute per side. Came out a perfect medium rare!
