It's disrespectful to the devs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] RxBrad@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) It's a simple question. Do you get better framerates out of the box, or do you need to hunt down mods? That's it. I don't understand why it warrants hostility. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] neonfire@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago Out of the box it'll perform as well as the switch it's emulating. No, it's won't perform better than the system it's emulating OOTB as that's not the goal. You can get better performance than the system it emulates by copying some simple files to a folder, but that seems to be too much work for you as those would be hoops you have to jump through, as if this is some sort of bureaucracy you have to fight through. If you just wanted to know how to do it, you can ask without being disrespectful to those who put the time into making it possible for you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Harlan_Cloverseed@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago (3 children) I want it to be easy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] neonfire@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) then buy a switch.

It set me off as it's disrespectful af to the devs of the main project, and the mods. It's hard to tell what easy means for a lot of folks. I assumed that someone asking for it to be easy couldn't spend a few mins checking google to see what was involved. permalink fedilink source parent
