can i power my switch in dock mode with usb-c phone charger? i want to take the dock overseas with me but don't want to have to take the power brick + converter

I mean try it out, but...

Ursine Catastrophe posted:

A standalone macbook USB-C charger charges the switch fine, but if you plug that charger into the dock itself the switch will bitch about nonstandard chargers and refuse to switch display outputs.

Oddly the Switch Charger will charge my laptop but not my phone.

I think single player games are A-OK to buy physical.

Multiplayer games you always want to have access to should be digital purchases so they always live on your system.
MK8 + Splat2n should be digital, so when it's late night and you're in bed playing a quick 5min online match you don't need to go swapping carts around.

BotW + Mario Odyssey are fine for a physical purchase to try and get max savings on your purchase.
Single player games are usually a "Ok I've finished this, what's next" style experiences, so they don't need to 'live' on your system

Who the gently caress plays more than one or two multiplayer games in a span of a few hours, let alone has time for that? I seriously think the convenience of digital is overblown and hugely outweighed by savings and resale.

Digital media rules. Especially on a system like the switch. It's basically designed from the ground up to be digital only and in fact all the testing proves that buying dumb little physical plastic carts in big plastic boxes leads to the longest possible loading times.

BUUUUUUT I'LL BE ABLE TO SAVE $10 AND THEN MAYBE GET $30 BACK WHEN I GET SICK OF PLAYING MARIO KART

Jesus loving Christ get a better job. 30 or 40 dollars? Who cares?

I already have to carry a case for my switch, and if my switch case gets stolen I lose my switch too and can't get it back. I also can lend carts to a friend.

The only benefit of digital is relying on your SD card for speed or you know, getting that few seconds of extra gaming from an easy switch to another game.

Lol if you prefer digital at all for this minor perk, double lol of you think nintendo rewards will give you anything back

speaking as someone who has dealt with financial hardship where "getting a better job" was not necessarily an option, for some people that $30-40 adds up

OR you just leave the carts in a carrying case.

These aren't loving cds. Also since puyo puyo isn't a huge release it'll probs have decent resell if it's as limited run as it seems, plus the gimmicky keychains.

Also lol at the poverty argument, no wonder you don't buy carts because you have nobody to share them with. :smith:

If you can't afford the extra $10 for a digital release, then you probably shouldn't have bought a Switch to begin with. Might I recommend a cheaper alternative such as the NES classic...oh wait.

I'm more amazed you don't realize how much 30 to 40 bucks helps people living paycheck to paycheck.

Also physical keeps jobs going for people too since retail is a large sector of employment for Americans even though they're heavily shafted wage wise.

Physical has only like two drawbacks and the fact I can't get poo poo for a bad digital game blows.

Also cool "lol poors buying entertainment" argument, glad you don't have any empathy for your fellow man lol
