hopefully someone w/ more relevant MSI experience chimes in, but my understanding is that the ones that come with motherboards are generally solid, and that your thermal paste approach is the more important variable.

I don't, but is it one of those with a built-in M.2 slot heatsink? Use that if you can, is my advice after upgrading my own PC a couple of years ago. You'll need a heatsink of some kind either way. (Sorry to pre-answer a potentially irrelevant question.)

...as an audience of millions is now clamoring for NS2-optimized games, and even Nintendo is behind on delivering this. Strike now. Hire contractors, get patches out. The revitalized Red Faction Guerrilla could clear over $50K in NS2 sales thanks to its 90% sale right now, and it's not even patched!

you're #2 in line, but Wes lives super close to me and is likely to grab in about an hour, so I'm sorry to not favor my usual "Sams above all else" rule. but if you ever wanna come by and play Mario Kart World, consider this an open invite! cc @thesamethyst.bsky.social and all other Seattle Sams

y'all really don't understand until you try it. you can now "look at" your opponents mid game while trash talking. it's a couch-versus revelation.

No, I'm referring to reported issues with HDR while docked.

brief testing before I pass the heck out: neither the official Xbox 360 nor PlayStation 3 webcams work on NS2, womp womp. (an old Microsoft PC webcam DOES work, at least.) also, my 8Bitdo Pro 2 gamepad won't pair, anybody know what that's about?

the system transfer wipes the host system and removes the account, right? if I wanna keep using my old Switch, isn't a transfer a bad idea?

The line has finally wrapped around the block, possibly 100. Passers-by are asking what the line is about. I lied to one car full of ppl and said a new pot shop was opening and that we are all gonna get high. All four in the car nodded and said "ohhhh, cool!"
