"Zero system level features" (?) was a specific choice. The entire OS is compressed to a few hundred kb and prioritizes fast loading to get you into the game in a fraction of a second.

If you've ever used the Xbox One you'll understand why this is especially important for something like the Switch.

I bought custom drumsticks for my tatacon because the plastic sausages that come with it are really terrible. Now I may be stupid and taiko drumsticks are supposed to be like this for some reason, but... something tells me both sticks should be straight, because I'm probably missing some hits with the weird hosed up one. I'm only asking because I really don't know how a wooden stick can be so unintentionally deformed. So uh, is one stick supposed to be curved like this? I can't even tell judging by the photos I'm seeing online.

(the one on the right)





Someone sold you some extremely deformed pieces of wood mislabeled as bachi, my friend :( They're definitely not supposed to be like that, and I've seen the complete gamut of custom sticks at competitions.

For what it's worth, in my own personal experience using custom sticks is a quick way to destroy home controllers. I find it safer just to add grip tape to the plastic ones that are included, though I agree they are terrible and it'd be nice if they could at least taper them. The problem is just most custom ones are weighted for arcade usage, which the lovely home taikos can't hold up to. I mean, they can't hold up to anything anyway and usually end up falling apart (I no joke have a bookshelf with five WiiU taikos in various states of functionality sitting behind me as I type this).

I don't go hard on my tatacon because I did the dollroom mod thingy, which made it pretty much perfect. I think the switch tatacons are built better than the WiiU ones from what I've heard? Not sure.

I made the stupid decision of buying those from some random dude on Amazon. I found the original bachi set on Rakuten for even less than what was on Amazon. Gonna order another pair.

Yep that was a thing but pedo rings are tragically a thing in all chat apps/conventional methods of communication between people. I've heard those in law enforcement who have visibility to how big the scope of the problem is actually develop mental issues and need therapy from their line of work

I think you're confused. This is the switch thread, chances of him trolling are non-existent.

Also I think you're confused because like the other poster said I have no idea what the first part of your sentence even means. Is anime sex waifus supposed to be a millennial thing?

His sentence sounded like a troll or something only a very young person would say seriously. So if he's not trolling he has to be 19 or younger because otherwise lmao

Lol if you think only young people are into anime titty games.

Also people under 19 aren't millennials. Millennials are born 1980ish to 2000ish, so we are all adults now and the oldest ones are almost 40.

I always used to word (or saw it used) to indicate people born from 1995ish onward. A quick check on google seems to show you're right but the common use of the term must have changed a bit because I'm not sure anyone would ever label a 40 years old guy as a millennial.
