Why did I know this was going to be in the music section already when I first read the announcement?

Try to be less predictable next time.

People talking to a beat...its a slight skill but still something that holds no real appeal to me (unless you count the Gorillaz who I really like)

Anyone heard of "The Street" there's a boring group the lead singer just talks. I'm not shitting you at all. I've got an acoustic version from the Radio 1 Live Lounge and its the most boring song on there.

It was good in the 80's/90's and even early 00's but its horrendous now. The British stuff is bad, just chavs shouting at each other.

I don't listen to rap usually, but rap certainly doesn't suck. At least not all of it.

Yea, Rap sucks.

I do like 3OH!3 though. And Hollywood Undead, and Gorillaz. And Limp Bizkit btw.
So, the more alternative rap groups/bands are pretty good imo.

It's just the anoying gangster rap that sucks.

Poorly written songs made by random people to make some easy money.

Specially heavy metal.

QUOTE(playallday @ Nov 27 2009, 02:12 PM) I prefer "light" rap. Not this crap where you don't know what the hell the guy is talking about.

Of course rap sucks. It always will. As long as people today remain piggish and borderline whores, rap will still be popular. But that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. I mean, just look at Twilight.

Never cared for rap myself. Seems like all it is is blah-blah-blah and BOOOM-BOOOM-BOOOM. The bass is what annoys me the most. It's like just because someone likes rap, they figure it's fine to annoy everyone else with the unnatural bass and play it way too loud. Makes me feel like grabbing a baseball bat and bashing some inconsiderate bastard's heads.

I couldn't even begin to think how hard I'd laugh listening to some douche with a brit accent rapping. Black rappers in the US are gay enough. They are all stupid with the exception of a few (maybe Jay-Z, Eminem, a few others).

Most beats are repetitive and stupid. I think they're are trying to bring back synths, AKA, some ghetto producer who just got garage band after seeing an Apple ad now trying to "ro' like a big shot".

  • console @ console:
    Switch 2 LCD is about like TN type compare to old Nintendo Switch LCD before. Also games running on 40 FPS look not good for us and people. 60 FPS are best for normal everyday gaming. That's weird. I think should not buy Switch 2 because it like Switch 1.5 something like that. Little improve but not major improve. I think going to skip it.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's just rumored but not sounding that impressive for a next gen upgrade. Of course Nintendo is very good at optimization of their games to play well, but for a $400+ 2025 console I expected a little better. Even a $299 2020 Xbox Series S has 4 tflops.

  • Anrei @ Anrei:
    I thought it was supposed to be on par with an xbox 1 in power, why is it running most things at 40fps lol
  • Anrei @ Anrei:
    in terms of power I thought it was a 2.0 compared to the switch man 40fps sounds whack is there poor optimisation or something?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just rumors/ leaks. We will find out in a few weeks. But yea prob way underpowered to save battery, for longer playtimes, like Switch 1 is.

  • E @ evanft:
    Teraflops are not necessarily indicative of real world performance, especially when compared across different architectures. The Switch 2 will also be smaller/lighter than the Steam Deck so it's performance has to fit inside a much smaller thermal and power envelope. Using a 120hz VRR panel means 40 fps locks can be an option in handheld mode, which will be a noticeable upgrade over the current 30 fps standard on Switch 1. Games could also go uncapped and leverage VRR to keep things smooth.

    Call me a filthy casual but I really don't notice the difference between the last few generations of consoles, and pushing specs just for the sake of bragging rights is really pointless.

    Yea I think the HDR and 60fps+ have been the biggest noticeable improvements, along with faster load times/ ssd hd.

    Playing the devils advocate, o nstema deck I drop the FPS on most games to 30 due power conservation and tbh I see little to none difference to 60fps. I'd say the difference is in what one wants to believe
