Gg,how much time do you have on your battery now?



Since I bought the lightest 5000mah battery I only get 3.5 hours in total playing Cyberpunk vs 2 hrs 15 mins without it.

The guy on YouTube used a 10'000 mah battery and got 6 hours playing Cyberpunk.

I intend to get another light, slim 5000 mah instead as it won't weigh down the Switch too much and it's easy to swap them out.

You have to be careful on what you choose though. I have a 20'000 mah Ravpower battery I bought for switch 1 and it's never been able to charge whilst playing. So the battery would continue to drain even when it was plugged in.

I tried it with Switch 2 and same problem. I guess it's purely for my phone now.

The one I bought is a 20w fast charging one and it does positively charge switch 2 when playing it.

Fun fact about Michael Madsen, he did a great impression of Nick Nolte. I can't seem to find any great examples on YouTube, but I once heard him in an interview and he told this whole story about how Nick nolte gave him a kimono, and did it in Nick's voice. It was a riot.

I've been playing Advance Wars 2 on Switch.  There are some difficulty spikes where you've got these 'boss missions' where you need to take out a big factory.  The rest of the missions are pretty easy, where you're clearly being set up for succes.  The models for the different commanders are generally great too, where I'm trying to make out if it's animated 2D art, or high quality 3D models.  Some seem to be the former, while some show tells of the latter in how they're animated.  As for the limited voice acting, it's like they have 3 actors tops do all the voices, which does come off as pretty cheap.  I'm playing the localized version, since you still can't set langauge settings per account, only per system, so perhaps the situation is different in the English dub.

We've been hearing neighborhood fireworks every evening for the last two weeks. Tonight will be the worst of it by far. And it'll likely continue all weekend too to a lesser degree.

I only like professional fireworks but haven't seen any since I got my dog in 2017.

Be safe out there. We had a fifteen year in our town that blew his hand off with a firework earlier this week.

"Switch 2 dock DOES support VRR for TV play"

It's been a month since release and people still don't fully know what features the hardware has yet? Only Nintendo. LOL

Very curious what secrets might lie in the Switch 2 dock. Reminds me of the port at the bottom of the original NES. LOL

You never had to blow on the cartridges. The console does it itself.

Playing Switch 2 with joycon skins.

I broke out the mouse wrist strap thing that came with the console to try mouse mode again.

Didn't realise using it while playing with split joycon makes the controllers more comfortable so you don't get the sharp edge of the magnetic rail rubbing on your hand.

This Jablonsky  mission in Cyberpunk is butt hard.

If you get caught on a lamp-post using Jablonsky's ass crap pickup truck for a second he declares the mission over. Even if the car you're chasing is 50m away.

He then drives off bitching at you.

And you can't even blow him up , I blew the doors off his car but he was un killable.

I loaded a quick save and finally managed to get to the car and a firefight ensued.

At which point you're faced with a practically un killable swat team cop who soaks in multiple shots gun and precision rifles I have with virtually maxed out damage stats.

Jablonsky says to leave the target to him, but he doesn't seem to do anything. Is this a COD style mission which won't progress until I kill the target? As this cop won't die and his buddy shoots me in the back.

Edit - did it. And my client died at the same time I killed the target. Win win.
