You didn't seem to be too keen on the demo, Pedz? Was it the controls that have put you off, dude?

Can anyone confirm if it is OK to charge your Switch with any USB-C lead (eg my phone lead) if you are NOT docking it? Or does it still have to be a USB to USB-C lead (such as the one that comes with the pro controller? Trying to minimize the number of leads i need to pack when i am away next week, and although i think bricked consoles are purely down to docking with the wrong lead type, i thought it would be worth checking what you guys do.

Thanks!

Nahj, I wasn't a fan of the powers. More than anything though I need new headset/headphones and mic and they can be pricey.

Ah! You're making a priority call! I know that you want to get some pretty mega cans.

No, It's a gooseberry fool Overwatch rip off.

Forgot to mention, I took my switch on a plane recently and it was fantastic. The dreamliner had a mains socket in the arm rest so I was able to play for about 15 hours unninterupted in total. The stewardess also seemed determined to get us pissed and doubled up every drink we ordered, which I had to neck just in case it spilled on the switch :shifty:

You can't make any absolute guarantees about USB-C leads because you might have a weird non-standard one. But I use my Samsung phone cable to charge my Switch without any problems, it's just a lot slower than the official cable.

Paladins is fine but not worth actual money. I'd play it f2p on Switch but not as a paid-for game.

Worst ever "I had a party playing Switch with an air hostess in first class (whilst drinking Bacardi)" post.

Thanks for the reply. I guess it will probably be alright. Probably.

I'd make an obligatory "he was playing with her in more ways than one" post, but that already seems to have been implied considering she was doubling up on the ordered drinks.

Whenever I plug my Switch in with a third party USB C it seems to use battery quicker than it chargers. It extends the battery life, but probably not beyond something like 5 hours.

The lighting in that pic makes it look like Ad7 is playing with some unholy combination of a blue left joy-con and a grey right one. :dread:

My left grey joycon developed a fault with the stick and I found the preowned blue one for sale individually to replace it

Ugh. It's like those people who drive round in cars with panels that are different colours because they can't be arsed to get them re-sprayed.

Scum basically. :capnscotty:



jk it doesn't matter what colour they are, as long as they bring the joy! :toot:

Why didn't you just send it back to Ninty? One of my right joy-cons had a problem with the home button, sent it back and it got fixed pretty quick.

Warranty is only a year isn't it? I bought my Switch on launch, so it happened after a year
