  • Fusion 360 is fantastic. It's free for non-commercisl use. I've been using it for years and have zero complaints. It's polished and powerful.

    People complaining about it for ideological reasons have a point, but I disagree that it's in some sort of "enshitification spiral". It's exactly as usable as it was 5 years ago. There are very few features locked behind a paywall, and they aren't important to the average maker.

    You can even use Fusion to run a CNC router. For free! With all the polish of commercial software.

    Everyone I know at my local makerspace uses Fusion. I don't know a single person who uses FreeCAD. A couple people use TinkerCAD. There's a very large community of Fusion users and getting help is easy.

    I am 100% in favor of FOSS. Give FreeCAD a try. I used it years ago because it had a plugin to make convolute gears with a couple of clicks. But don't shy away from Fusion just because of all of the haters on here. Give it a try yourself. I think you'll be impressed by what you get for free.

  • I was making fun of you...

    You don't even know how to use "you", and you have the audacity to be pedantic about OP's use of "we"?

    You weren't replying to OP!

    And at this moment, you're not talking to the person who commented above. I just thought I would explain that to prevent your further confusion.

  • The console is backward compatible. It will run all Switch 1 games without buying any upgrade packs.

    Will the game run on 1080p with crapy fps on Switch 2

    Very likely, yes. The system basically emulates a Switch 1, and emulators must add limits to virtual chips because otherwise there would be bugs.

    For instance, when I first started emulating BotW, there was a 60 FPS patch. It made the game unplayable for me. The menu selections moved too fast. If I pressed Up or Down a little too long, it would jump the selection to the top or bottom. I ended up choosing the wrong thing in so many conversations that I got frustrated and turned it off. Eventually the devs released another patch that makes menus work better at 60fps.

    Stuff like that is exactly what this upgrade patch will do. It fixes the game to run as if it were a native Switch 2 game, because it's not!

    There are no new textures. Only better resolution with upgrade pack. So you gonna play 4k TOTK with the same textures.

    OK, I guess I misunderstood. I still think it'll look fine. The textures are cartoony anyways, and in 4k, the objects will be so sharp. Text will probably be updated if it doesn't already use a vector font, but I'm just guessing on that.

  • The upgrade pack will act like DLC that modifies the game to load off of internal storage on the console. That'll be faster than loading it off of a switch cartridge. The textures will be enhanced as well, and downloaded from Nintendo servers onto your console.

    So how you are suppose to play it in Switch 2 without an upgrade pack?

    You just put it in and it runs. Exactly like putting a Game Cube game in a Wii. Or a PS1 game in a PS2. How is this not obvious?

    What you gain?

    Nothing, except now you can sell your Switch 1 and still play your original Switch games, and not have to have two consoles.

  • I like to watch Big Ole Words on YouTube. He's a collector, and a player. He plays every game like he's a kid and just got it for Christmas, and it's the only new game he has. So, he tries really hard to find the fun in it. He has way, way more patience than I do, but he won't tell you a game is good when it's not. At least not from what I've seen.

    I especially like the "games no one played" series of videos. I get to see exactly why no one played those games. 😄

  • They released a game for a console you already owned, and then released it again on the new console, and people got mad? I dunno.

    I loved my Wii U, and loved playing BotW on it. I guess it wasn't designed to use the control pad in any special way, which was a bit of a drag, but it played great.
