>>100693>>100696Games made for Switch are better optimized than PC games and that trend will most likely continue with Switch 2. So it doesn't matter that Switch 2 will have 12GB of RAM and Steam Deck has 16GB of RAM. AFAIK Hogwarts Legacy didn't crash all the time on Switch like it did for PC. Companies see that PC gamers are more willing to tolerate bugs, crashing and lag than console gamers and wait longer for patches (even after the refund policy expires) than console gamers, where "day one patches" are the standard since the Wii U generation. They've figured out they could increase profits by substantially cutting labor costs intended for quality control for PC games, because customers are mindless retards who don't understand they reward bad behavior with their spending decisions. It's easy to gaslight PC gamers because customer service (if they have any, usually it's one dude they hired from India who calls himself "David" on a forum that posts once a month that vaguely addresses any of the complaints, or no humans at all, just an automated "AI" system) can just say "oh it's a problem with your end on Windows, please run a virus scan, please reinstall Windows, please ensure you have a genuine copy of Windows, please reinstall your graphics card driver, try upgrading to the recommended spec of RTX 4090 if problems persist", dragging it out until refund policy expires and just going in circles or ghosting the customer with a final message of "I will inform our engineers." This is how TPTB want customer service to be like for every business and government service.

>>100710Given the limitations of my PC (which I don't plan on upgrading any time soon), a 1080p monitor is fine and it's more about the mechanical performance (the higher refresh rate/response time) that's important. Is it odd that this monitor came out in 2022? I thought 4k has been the modern standard for longer than that so it seems strange a display intended for gaming has such a dated resolution. I guess perhaps back then gaming in 4k still wasn't as common-maybe it's not that common even now.
Anyway, it seems to work well. My "Gamer Mid-Life Crisis" is mostly sated for the time being.
...heh

>>100733This. Unless your screen is absolutely massive you can't tell a difference between 4k and 1080p. And even if you could, it would be so marginal that it isn't worth anything.
No.100735
>>100733I dont see the point in going over 1080p. For most of the things you do, you use 1080p. Upscaling just doesnt look good. And 4k movies usually look worse (bad transfers)
No.100736
>>100733For computer monitors, yes.
For televisions, it's 8k that's the meme.
I honestly don't think the human retina can resolve higher than 8k on a standard TV screen.
No.100737
1080p is fine. I grew up watching 480i on a standard CRT, 240p online videos with tons of graphical artifacts, and to this day 720p is good enough for me, frankly. These days you don't really even have the choice to use lower resolutions. Hell, even trying to play games on the PS3, released 20 years ago with VGA cables made the text in most games nearly unreadable. Stuff like that is noticeable. Even if the human eye can technically see the difference between 1080 and 4K, it's information your brain is just going to gloss over. It's not like people are casually pausing on frames, so they can meticulously analyze it like some museum curator.
No.100739
>>100737I have a 720p tv and it's perfectly fine. I think resolution is something people get hung up on for no reason. What's more important is the content you are watching, not the machine you are using to watch it.

>US gamers will pay $449.99 for Nintendo’s Switch 2, a significant price bump from the $299 first-generation console. But in Japan, the console will be more affordable. In Japan, gamers can get a Switch 2 for about $343, but it only supports the Japanese language and won't work outside the country.https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-made-a-much-cheaper-japanese-language-only-nintendo-switch-2-and-even-duolingo-is-poking-fun
>As Japan is the only country in the world offering a mono-language console option for a cheaper price, this means players content to play in Japanese can save over $100 compared to the system the rest of the world has to buy, which is selling for $449.99 in the U.S.
>In some experts' opinions, the inflated international price may well be a result of U.S. president Donald Trump's recently announced international tariffs. "Nintendo probably factored in possible tariffs, the current inflationary climate in the world and the $700 Sony dared to charge for the PlayStation 5 Pro last year," said Dr. Serkan Toto, CEO of Kantan Games.https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2025/04/05/multi-language-switch-2-in-japan-feels-like-an-anti-scalper-strategy/
>Nintendo’s move to lock out the cheaper Japanese version from international sales by making it region-locked to Japanese games feels like a way of countering the scalpers who are currently making a fortune on the current Switch. No.100760
>>100757There are places it's more expensive than the US, then. They will still probably manufacture and sell original Switch consoles for $300-350 (and they will out sell the Switch 2, same as they continue to outsell every other video game console ever made)
No.100765
>>100757The price difference doesn't mean anything. The real problem is the region lock bullshit. Right now the Switch is very comfy and a lot of games just have language options you can change at your leisure instead of having separate versions for separate regions. It looks like there might be a situation now where we won't even be able to play JP only games, because they're only on the Japan E.shop, which doesn't work outside of the country. That's pretty kiked. If the international versions are region free though, then I don't give a shit. Frankly, if 450 dollars is a big deal to you then 350 dollars should be too much for you also. Can't brokies just stop CONSOOMING for 5 minutes?

It's not something one guy can do in a relatively short amount of time for a complex project, as in the commit statistics you'll see it's teams of people, who've collaborated on Discord, worked on both emulators to make them playable. Both had Patreons to fund their labor.
One could use gitee.com (Chinese) and gitflic.ru (Russian) to evade DMCA and Japanese lawsuits.
https://gitee.com/L1024201879/yuzuhttps://gitflic.ru/project/mattscreative/ryujinx-mirrorInstead of Discord, who not only have instantly shut down their Discord channels, but would also gladly hand over personal info to Nintendo lawyers, they should've self-host Matrix chat on a Russian server.
