I mean, I want to use this portable, together with my BT headphones.

If I have something plugged in the USB-C in portable mode, well, I -have- to unplug it to put the console in the dock, otherwise it is impossible for the USB-C connector in the dock to connect to the console.

Also, I haven't seen USB-C bluetooth emitting sound cards available, and if I use one of the dongles that connect to the headphone jack, I have to charge it all the time (and also they protrude enough to make my Switch not fit in my case anymore).

PS: But still, perhaps I will go for some kind of dongle if they don't come up with a solution in the future.
I'll give them till April.

After 30 minutes of vigorous researching,

I have come to the conclusion that....yes, USB-C BT Transmitters are non-existant and will be for a long time. There is a solution for docked mode, but on-the-go play will be a PITA with these dongles which will drop down a good 5 inches/12.7 cm.

pirated manga? I personally like cbr for manga but generally prefer usa comics at this point. PDF is all about books for me honestly....
PDF books become a PITA to read in small screens (and pardon my bad sight, but the Switch fashions a small screen). ePub for life... but anyway, my phone handles that well already.

Like a lot of people, I'd like it to be a media center. Like It could read any video or audio file.
There's no reason It doesn't do It already.

I remember how impress I was when I tried PS3 media center back in time. Switch could do the same... only portable.

It won't happen though. That feature only appears on home consoles. Someone should have made a homebrew app for the Wii U to open media like that.

One thing I’ve realised I actually want the console to have. When I had the wii u I loved the “stickers” you could unlock and use on miiverse...I’d love them to have something like that and when they add in the whole friends chat online etc (another feature I’d like) you can then send them to your friends.

Would trophies / achievements be a welcome addition? I used to like them on the PlayStation how I became obsessed with getting certain ones and lost the love for some games.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
