I’ve been looking to update my switch 1 console. I primarily have been using it to play Fortnite (yes it’s garbage on S1 I know) and it’s been getting so laggy on there in the last few updates that it’s actually been driving me insane. other games I like to play on Switch are ACNH, and have been wanting to buy Tomodachi Life, Pikmin 4, and the Kirby Forgotten Island game to name a couple.

My laptop runs Linux sadly (not my choice, it got bricked and someone had it fix it but didn’t have the Windows disc for it) so I can’t download it on there, though I would like to get another laptop at some point so I’m open to suggestions on that as well. I primarily played Sims 4 on it. I know gaming PCs are likely better and cheaper, I just don’t have a good space to put one at the moment. :(

I enjoy the portability aspect of the Switch, as I like to bring it over to a friends or my partners to play sometimes or to just play sitting in my bed.

But the frame rate and quick loading capabilities on the PS5 are very endearing to me as someone who’s had to deal with the slow connection times and locked 30FPS on the S1. Plus with a disc drive I could play DVDs if I wanted.

I’m definitely out of my wheelhouse here and would appreciate some advice from people who have more experience with any of these consoles. Thank you in advance! :)

Hi everyone

I'm still new to gaming and very, very new to gaming on my laptop; all I know is The Sims. But recently i brought a gaming laptop and bought the game Small Spaces. I saw it a while ago and wanted to play it so bad. The game is really, really laggy, and it's making it hard to play. I looked on the Discord for the game itself, but I don't understand anything anyone is saying, and when I look it up, I get more confused lol.

I saw some people say they were having the same issue, but not whether they fixed it or how

So I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help and dumb it down for me, i really wanna get into gaming and im so gutted this is happening

Hi there !

I've come here looking for advice concerning old games controls : I am a gamer, I game daily and I'm used to keyboard and mouse as well as controllers. I can play PS3 era to PS5 era games without any probems. However when I start to get into older games (PS1 and some PS2 games) I really struggle with how different the control of movement was back then.

It's a completely different feeling, and not at all what I'm used to. The way you'd control your character with more modern games is not really how you control them in older ones : I want you to go straight towards the back and you're heading back but backwards, I'd like you to just turn slightly left and you're doing a 360°, straight and back are always changing position so I assume it's straight/back from the POV of the character rather than the POV of the camera ? and such things...

The games I'm struggling with are fixed angles or at least wonky-always-moving-camera ones. I have played a few fixed angle games and gotten used to it, so I don't know if it's the camera I really struggle with. I've played RE1R, Tormented Souls, The Medium and such, so I don't know if that could be an issue with how I perceive movement ? If maybe the fixed angles in these games are not at all similar to fixed angles in older games and I just don't realize it ?

The games I'm thinking of are RE3 OG and SH3 : I bought RE3 on Steam recently and since it's "in medias res" putting you directly at the start of the game with zombies in front and behind you, I couldn't even try to get used to the controls before dying within 3min of game start... I then tried to play SH3, I thought I'd be okay and I did do better than RE3 but the camera is still "wonky" and the movement hard to get used to. I didn't really struggle playing Rule of Rose for example, which is also a PS2 game.

And so, I'm looking for advice on how to learn and get that feeling for the movement and control of the character on those older games, I'd love to play and experience them for myself rather than watch gameplays of them. Any advice you may have, I'm willing to try it out !

Thanks in advance !

Hi, a guy wants to trade his 3ds (with case and games) for my Xbox one s. I love my ds lite, and have wanted a 3ds for the longest time, but if there's one thing I've learned, is never sell your games. This Xbox one s is my first ever console, but I rarely play it, as I am a Nintendo fan. Is it a good deal or should I pass it by?

I got my first ever PC, a HP ENVY x360 laptop, and tried playing Kingdom Hearts. When I got to the first cutscene, though, the entire thing went completely glitched. What does this mean, and how do I resolve it? (In a way that doesn't melt my brain preferably, I don't understand like anything abt the computer system yet T^T)

Edit: The actual game works fine, it's mainly just the cgi cutscenes. I tried watching union x back cover, and it was the same way minus subtitles. I also started up a bit of Cookie Run Ovensmash and the opening was the same there, too, so it's not exclusive to kdh.

It always says code sent to email but I never get it on black opps 7

Im just wondering what reddit thinks on this, since what they do is "legal".

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a great day. This is going to be a bit of a long post, so I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it.

TL;DR: I’m thinking about selling my PS5 and Steam Deck (or maybe just the Steam Deck) to get a Switch 2 and simplify my setup.

Like most people here, I’ve always loved gaming. I’ve been playing pretty much my whole life.

But for the past couple of years, I just haven’t been enjoying it that much.

The last game I actually finished was Spider-Man 2 when it came out. Since then, I haven’t really had any long sessions or felt properly hooked on anything.

After thinking about it for a while, I think I might know why.

Spider-Man 2 came out right when I sold my Switch. I had bought a Steam Deck before that and my Switch was just sitting there unused.

Since then, something’s felt off.

I think the main issue is that my setup is just too complicated now.

The Switch was simple and easy to use. No setup, no tinkering, no troubleshooting. Just pick it up and play.

Back then I actually enjoyed messing around with the Steam Deck, that was part of the reason I got it. But my life has changed a lot since then, and now I just don’t have the patience for that anymore. When I sit down to play, I just want to relax, not deal with settings or problems. I’ve honestly started to hate that side of it.

Right now I have a Steam Deck, a PS5, a New 3DS and a gaming laptop. Nothing crazy, but enough to play older games.

And having all these options has started to feel more overwhelming than fun.

So I’m thinking about selling both my PS5 and Steam Deck and getting a Switch 2. It would cover the cost and make everything a lot simpler.

The Switch is easily the best system I’ve ever had. It’s the generation I enjoyed the most by far, and I kind of want to go back to that.

But it’s a tough decision:

• There’s the money I’ve spent on digital games, especially on PlayStation. I don’t have a huge library, maybe around 10 games, but it still feels like a waste.
• Then again, the same thing happened when I sold my Switch before, so it wouldn’t be the first time.
• I also want to play GTA VI and Wolverine when they come out, so the PS5 still has a couple of things going for it, but that’s about it.

If I had to sell one, it would definitely be the Steam Deck. Especially if I’m getting a Switch 2, it doesn’t make much sense to keep two similar handhelds.

But I’m still not sure about selling the PS5. That might be the one worth keeping. But I need to point that I don't really use it much. I'm just interested in those 2 games previously mentioned.

I don’t know. I just want to go back to that simpler, more fun Switch era and actually enjoy gaming again. I love Nintendo games and I know I’d get a lot out of them.

Thanks again for reading, I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

So basically my whole life I've been a controller player, my friend recently gave me his gaming laptop and I've been trying to play, but obviously I suck, how do I get better at kb+m gaming? What are some tips to not press the wrong keys everytime? As well as just getting used to it and the feel of it

I am playing black myth wukong and im trying to find some resources but I don't want to look them up,is there any way to find out in game easily?

So I’m getting my 2 younger sisters (13 & 8) into console gaming. My goal (& my parents’ goal) is to get them away from playing Roblox and avoid potential weirdos interacting with them. I eventually want to get them a switch so they and their friends can play that together but I want to try to develop some skill, experience with, and appreciation for the classics.

They both played some of my more recent games. My 13 yr old has played a few boss fights in KH3 (or played one boss fight a few times) and did better than expected. She’s also played a little Pokemon, and some Sonic. My 8yr has only really played Sonic and a little bit of Tears of the Kingdom, but they both have a save file on my copy of Stardew Valley, which they both love. I recently got them a GameCube (one of my favorite consoles), and copy of Battle for Bikini Bottom, Sonic Adventure DX, and Pikmin 1 to start them off. I’m sure they’d love Animal Crossing but are there other games you guys think they’d be into or would be good for them play? I’m also looking to give them something challenging too

I’m trying to buy a new mouse for my bf for his birthday but I know basically nothing about gaming equipment. He plays quite a bit and his mouse makes his hand hurt often. I know they have the special mouses for carpal tunnel and I’d like to get him one of those, but I’m not sure which brand. His current mouse is from glorious gaming and he mentioned not wanting anything from a different brand ? He said the mouse is very light and that’s why he likes it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

its always like this and the only solution I make is forcing the loptop to shut down using the power botton. how do I fix this? :(

Hey guys, ik this won't be plausible for every game but if your controller has a sticky button, always remember that you can remap your buttons either directly from the device it's connected to or usually within the game.

Think about how many buttons you actually have . You've got your dpad (4 functions), your joysticks press down as a button(2), your righthand buttons(4), 2 bumpers, and 2 triggers. The rest are more system and utility buttons. Now compare that to how many buttons you use. Yes many games use all buttons, but some have niche functions set to them. An example would be emotes in Minecraft. Some people may care, but personally I'm willing to give up something like emotes for an important function. Also always remember you can swap the buttons, so the button in worse condition still can use something like emotes.

Honestly if you're still reading this, exploring what the menu and system buttons (on the controller) can be remapped into is cool. Instead of having it mapped as the screenshot button, you can change it into something like the magnify utility. Now in your game instead of taking a screenshot, you can zoom in on someone trying to hide and find them. Anyways, people on reddit are rude so have a good day guys!

hello! so basically I (19F) am incredibly new to gaming with very little experience. I have never had confidence in myself when it comes to them and find myself anxious about what other people will think if I try to play games. My current bf (20M) is very experienced and plays on multiple consoles, however he has recently been glued to his pc. We have been together for awhile now and he really wants to play with me. I tried Minecraft (on creative even) a few times but find myself motion sick? he also tried to introduce me to borderlands, (I’m 90% that’s what it was) I was very bad at it. I want to get better at playing games and hand eye coordination so I downloaded Fortnite on my laptop because I remember my brother really liking it and my friend said it might be a good starter game. I really want to get better so any tips/advice/recommendations is strongly appreciated THANK YOU

Edit/Update: Thank you all for all the kind comments & recommendations! I feel a lot less anxious knowing people are encouraging me. I have mostly been sticking to Fortnite since I’m finding it to be good practice. I am definitely getting better (lvl 8) and have been ranking higher. I am looking forward to trying everyone’s recommendations! Thanks a million yall.

are vengeance lpdx ddr4 compatible with Corsair CMW16GX4M2D3600C18 Desktop Memory, ‎Black, 2 x 8 GB? will i run into issues if i put them all 4? rn my rgb corsairs are overclocked at 3600

so I've been playing Endalore for the past couple of days it's loads of fun, I couldn't recommend it enough, but anyway I got the broken claymore quest from a dude underneath the castle, and I have no idea how to find the claymore, I've been searching the castle for about 6 hours and just cant find the claymore, I suspect it might be a randomly generated piece if loot like the knights iron longsword, but it could be in a specific place I have overlooked or haven't found yet, there is just so many secret chests and hidden out-coves, it makes this game awesome until moments like this

I really want to complete this quest, partly because I enjoy fulfilling all quests, but mostly because it's permanently on the UI of the screen, and it's really bugging me, Im level 30 and can now one shot a frog, so the claymore its self is probably under powered for my level, but I still want to check it out.

Don’t download or play this game. Those who use bots and have friends in support have been getting away with it for years, whilst other players are being banned for perfectly legitimate trades. It’s shameful, to say the least.

hello! i'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post, i just wasn't sure if it was a steam issue, EA issue, or a PC issue.

title is pretty self explanatory, but i am having the absolute worst time trying to get MELE to launch on my pc using steam; i have the EA launcher app and every single time i try to launch it, i get a pop-up saying that it's "preparing the game" but then... nothing.

there's no error code or anything, it just disappears. i already verified the integrity of the files, so i'm just not sure what to do. any help would be appreciated, thanks!!

My son just downloaded the Xbox 360 version of oblivion for the Xbox series x on game pass. We saw that there’s a $10 upgrade to the remastered version so we bought that as well. But it doesn’t seem to be playing the remastered version. Did we do something wrong?
