  • Can’t say I’ve done extensive research, and Nintendo would be the first company I would assume would ignore standards, but my understanding is that any half decent charger has a sort of power negotiation to prevent such issue. I suppose if you have some cheap dollar store USB-C chargers laying around it might be risky if they too ignore the standards.

    That said, I did have a USB-C PD 65w charger fry a laptop. It was, for sure, the charger screwing up though, I even had warning signs I completely ignored. I miss that laptop, it was a good laptop.


  • Not related to your point at all, but: The switch uses USB-C. Pretty much any USB-C charger will work. For the dock you do want to make sure it can push enough power, but it’s a rather low requirement. I use the same charger for my SteamDeck dock and the Switch dock. It’s the great thing about USB-C. But of course gamestop would try to sell you their generic crap instead of an official one.





  • That isn’t for lack of trying on Godots part, but there are parts of making a Switch game that are incompatible with an open source engine. It is possible to have a closed source export profile that targeted the switch, but someone would have to make it, and that someone would charge money for it. Which is almost exactly what has happened.

    It is interesting how free it is to build games for consoles these days. Now that everything is on pretty standard hardware, gone are the days of needing a dev kit and special knowledge of how the CPU or other hardware worked. Even the switch is standard ARM hardware, the proprietary part is the OS integration parts, not the hardware.



  • That is interesting, assuming that it isn’t what it appears, perhaps it is a language barrier, since Yandex is Russian, they might have just come up with a special class of triggers, and didn’t realize the they were using one of the most offensive words in the English language.

    That’s probably too charitable of an interpretation, but I could see myself making that mistake against another language.

    I often like to browse the “All” view instead of just my subscribed communities. It helps me find new communities, as well as get information from communities I wouldn’t normally be interested in. Unfortunately, the most popular communities are mostly meme communities. That content does well to grab users, get upvotes, and have comments. As a result, almost any way you sort “All” comes back with Memes at the top unless you block the communities.
