Scorpions and tarantulas wont attack you if you're not approaching them with a net so idle is fine.

AC is very receptive to staying still. Only thing that might annoy you is if a balloon glides past that you miss or theres shooting stars youre failing to wish on, but otherwise all good

I have a really dumb question: What happens in Animal Crossing when the game is left idle? Does it punish you at all? Can anything possibly rewarding happen (like balloons in the old games), etc?
You'll get a lot more balloon spawns and also have a better chance at witnessing rain which will give all your flowers a chance at reproducing. Bugs won't attack unless you make the first move.

The worst that can happen in an idle state on AC is that a spider or scorpion might night you at night and that is very unlikely.

You say that, but when I saw a spider, I went for my net and he went for the sting. Friggin' ow. Okay, wind up at my house, no big. So I respawn at my door and *guess who is there*?

I can't believe that I got corpse camped by a spider.

speaking of, are there modern equivalents of ut? i dislike almost every fps for trying to be...'realistic' is the best way i know to describe it.

on other hand, ut was bonkers. it wanted to create as much mayhem as possible in an arcade-like manner. it was kind of like the mario kart of the fps world? i'd love to play something like that again.
There was a UT4! I'm pretty sure it's free to play. I remember playing it a few years ago. IIRC it was in alpha stage and you got it through Epic's launcher. Here's some footage of it:

I'm not sure what the current state of it is. The website is still up for it so I guess it's still playable. If it is, give it a shot! I remember having fun with it, and I was a big fan of UT99 back in the day so I was glad it played well.

Yep the last update was over 3 years ago, it's extremely dead. At this point if they wanted to resume development it would probably be easier to start over than to catch up on ~10 major UE4 versions.

Is there any gameplay benefit to playing from the console rather than the micro sd card?
Loading from console memory might be marginally faster, but not enough to make it worth shuffling games around.

Since only console memory can be used for save data I made a point of installing games only to SD card to keep console memory free. Now that you can (easily) move games between console and SD it's less important to do to keep it free, but I'd still like to preserve erase cycles on the console since I can't replace that as easily a SD card.

The madmen actually went and did it again :eyepop:

Of course it looks blurrier and runs at 30FPS, but while those were also true of DOOM (2016) on Switch, I played through that whole thing and it was certainly playable.

Seeing as Cyberpunk doesn't work now, that's a death sentence.

My gf got it for me as an early xmas gift and it feels like magic. Obviously it is still a downgrade visually, that you'll notice more docked, but I can't believe it plays as well as it does. It somehow feels like an even better port than Doom 2016.

I find this work way more impressive to me than anything I played on Xbox Series X last week. I really appreciate amazing ports these days.

I now have every single Doom game on my Switch and that makes me want the Doom Slayer in Smash even more.

I imagine it helps that Doom Eternal was crazy loving optimized even in its original release. It was able to run smooth as butter on all but the toasteryiest of toasters. It was genuinely one of the absolute best PC releases I've ever played in that regard.

Doom Eternal actually somehow runs half decently on my old i3 gtx470 rig despite it refusing to get above 20fps for doom 2016 which is pretty funny considering I basically built a new machine for Doom Eternal after only really getting to play 2016 on console

It's basically like store-brand BotW. It's perfectly playable and the dungeons have some neat gimmicks but it spends every single moment of the game asking you to compare it directly to either BotW or Assassin's Creed.

Like if you are feeling like you want more BotW that you're willing to accept the knockoff brand it's better at it than Genshin Impact just by not being microtransaction-laden. (Though GI looks better by a significant degree.) However you'll probably spend every moment playing it thinking how BotW was better unless you'd prefer a game without weapon durability.
