NUMBER 1 QUEENSLAND SUPPORTER
MAROONS 2023 STATE OF ORIGIN CHAMPIONS FOR LIFE



That's impressively fast, although I'm mostly comparing it to the nightmare that is the sluggish WiiU menus.

Next question is: which theme to use for day one? VERY IMPORTANT

I got my Switch and Zelda delivered today.
Inside the box was a gold coin with some weird etching on it and a slip of paper with numbers.
I think they are coordinates.

I took some pictures but they all got corrupted.

Same. That's the best theme feature ever.

Why can you only choose between 480p and Automatic? I need 720p.

Yeah, Automatic and 480p being the only options is... odd. Maybe there are more options when it's docked, and 480p is there as, like, a super battery saver option?

I'm wondering if the black theme is easier on the battery than the white theme. Probably minally since you won't spend much time outside of a game.

It doesn't count because it was shipped and not bought at a store in a physical retail location. Them's the rules.

All this talk about dangerous USB C charging just made me buy a second Nintendo Switch charger for when I go on airplanes. Not worth it to get a battery pack or some other USB C charger that'll make my Switch explode on a plane :-/. I'm starting to think they shoulda just went with Micro USB instead.

I hope the cable included with the Pro Controller will charge the Switch while playing.

Also so I guess I can't just use any powerbank to charge the switch when away from the dock? I have a RAV thing with like 26800 mhA and it can charge my ipad pro from empty to full two and a half times but if it'll make my expensive nintentoy go up in a conflagration is there another more recommendable alternative?

Nah, it's in the TV settings submenu. I doubt you will be able to mess with the resolution on the internal LCD.

Bingo.

He skipped the connect to TV step. It probably populates the resolutions list based on the TV you connect it to.
