I’m very happy to be proven wrong re: the prospect of Switch 2 VRR on 3 party docks. A few on Amazon US already claim to support VRR. I bought one and it indeed works as advertised (imgs 1-2). Note that you may need to contact the seller for the latest firmware. 1/

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

It surprises me that the Game Designers Award within Japan Game Awards is ending after 16 years. According to Sakurai, the reason is that “there is no one to replace me”. I hope this doesn’t happen to Smash. 😨 1/

⚠️ If you’re encountering a “BGTaskSchedulerErrorDomain error 3” alert when setting up Remote AltServers, please make sure you’ve updated AltServer to the latest version (1.8) and then use it to reinstall AltStore Classic. You do NOT need to delete AltStore Classic first.

🚀 AltStore Classic 2.3rc is now available for all Patrons! It’s now easier than ever to get started with remote AltServers and sideload without a computer 🚢 New “Remote AltServer” in-app onboarding 👯 On-device pairing for remote AltServers (iOS 27)

Howdy, been a while! A new version 0.6.4 has just been released. You can find a changelog and download here: github.com/SideStore/Si...

I’m pessimistic about the prospect of 3rd party Switch 2 docks supporting VRR. Just recently I looked at dozens of USB-C to HDMI and DP to HDMI adaptors, and none of them could do VRR. Even Sony and Nintendo took over a year to add the feature, so 3rd parties are probably unwilling to tackle this.

I'm a bit late, but happy #Kirkiversary / #Kirkmas! Here's a meme I made a couple of months ago with a few touch-ups!

🚀 AltServer macOS 1.7.6 is now available and fixes issues with “HTTP 503” errors To update, click “Check for Updates…” in the AltServer menu Sideloading and refreshing apps in AltStore should then work as expected

PlayStation is stepping away from collaborating with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS on its project PHYSINT

Even though the Zelda Edition of Switch 2 is sold out at the moment, do NOT buy from scalpers. Switch assembler Foxconn Technology Co. reported record revenues for Jul-Aug (~US$690M each month), indicating a massive production run. As a long-time watcher of this data, I think the reasons being: 1/

Mii Maker music added to Switch 2 (via _danpar)

[Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 System Update] 🤖 Version 23.0.0 has been released. More information will be posted as soon as possible. Check the patch notes in the replies for Nintendo's official change log. It may take a few minutes before they are posted.

[Nintendo Switch 2 System Update] The Mii Maker now has music in version 23.0.0! You can listen to any of the three Mii Maker themes. (thanks shutterbug2000, AK)

[Nintendo Switch 2 System Update] Version 23.0.0 adds VRR support in docked mode! You will need a compatible TV/monitor to use this feature. VRR allows the display to dynamically adjust its refresh rate. This helps keep movement smooth when the game's FPS is fluctuating.

Yet another parts reseller in China is selling the Sharp-assembled Switch 2 LCD panel. Like the last one I saw (link below), the model number is LS0DAS7081, possibly indicating an engineering sample. These are now surfacing at a faster pace in these marketplaces, a sign of mass production.

ironic how the guy who's responsible for a meme where he goes "your life is nothing, you serve zero purpose" is now a self admitted failure, whose life is nothing while the only purpose he serves is getting ragebaited by trolls and ridiculed online. Happy Doomsdale, one and all.
