Also they’re a lovely unreliable company that tried to screw me out of a game that was never delivered to me.

Is that it? They sell products you don’t like in addition to ones you do?

Edit: didn’t refresh, there’s a legit reason posted now. I haven’t had issues with playasia before so I’m still spending money there.

It's stupid that the play time is only if you enable parental controls, but oh well...

I am sure like 10 years from now I am going to dig up my original Switch 1 to show my kids what it is and not remember what the loving password is to connect it to the internet or something stupid like that.

I mean, the Switch already tracks generalized playtime. I doubt they figured normal people would have much use for the detailed information.

I was thinking about getting a used switch is nintendo doing that hardware ban thing they did with 3ds if so is there a way I can see if one is banned or not?

If the diablo3 season leaderboards are anything to go on, they're not banning switches any more. Don't worry about it

Yeah, I played a lot of PC and was always top of leaderboards, still officer in the currently rank three clan in the world, so I was competitive about d3. But the amount of hackers on the switch has completely ruined the fun of the game for every competitive PC player.

Yeah, really. I understand being competitive in a game that's, y’know, competitive (Smash, Rocket League, etc...) but Diablo 3?

Leaderboards are truly garbage when you use them beyond comparing to friends. And even then, at best, they're quite pointless.

The best leaderboards are for less popular niche games, so you end up higher on the list due to fewer players. :q:

The best leaderboards have the client directly connect and write to the database, and when this is pointed out to the devs, they repeatedly insist "it's fine! trust me!" as they slowly shrink and turn into a corn cob

It's no different than speed running and yet speed running is a multi-million dollar fund raising Industry in itself. It's probably not for most of the posters in this thread, but it's fun to a lot of people, and that's what d3 is essentially about. The fact that both Nintendo and blizzard just let's hackers run rampant really sucked the fun and interest out of the game

Anybody else have issues with their dock, where it takes a few times of docking/undocking the Switch before the HDMI "recognizes" and sends the signal to the TV?

It's not the HDMI cable or the TV, as best I can tell. Maybe it doesn't always get seated correctly in the dock and the video signal can't connect.
It’s fine on my TV but I’ve seen it on a some of my friends’ TVs. Probably just something dumb with how some TVs handle no input and how the Switch dock...switches. If you have some other TV to test on you could see if it’s the dock itself, unless it’s also dumb with the Switch in the same way. And I guess look at the Switch’s screen when you dock, it should turn off. If that’s not happening then yeah something is up with the Switch and/or dock itself.

Otherwise could try messing with HDMI CEC settings on the TV and Switch and see if that helps, I think “match power state” on the Switch settings, might be under some branded name on the TV like “Anynet” or some control sync sounding thing. This does auto powering/switching so could get annoying if it’s not exactly what you want though.
