Name a single feature you’d like to see in a Switch 2
For me it'd be analogue triggers. I think a scroll wheel could also be cool and unique controller input.

Is jellyfish vegan?
Reply in thread
It's the second one. In the first case, you unnecessarily kill an animal. A fair question would be if it was a natural death of the animal, like you stumbled upon a fresh carcass, is eating that still ethically or morally gray?
But that's not the point, veganism makes sense in first world countries with factory farming. It's very clear that mass produced animal products are no go's.

I'm using Connect for Lemmy. Has all I need. I never used an app for reddit though was always on mobile web, which isn't so good for lemmy

Whitmer signs 2024 education budget; includes free school meals, expanded free pre-K
Great to see. Too often schools get defunded and teachers cover these expenses from their own pocket

Is the Chicago reddit getting astroturfed by NASCAR?
I mean it's a brand new event, it was somewhat controversial. I want to hear updates about it and talk about it. I know there's plenty going on in the city but this is new and a lot of people aren't sure how it'll play out, so I'm not surprised there's many posts on it.
I think the event is cool fwiw and am going to make a post asking for others perspectives later.

Pikmin 4 Review MegaThread!
Reply in thread
I'd recommend starting with 4. It'll be the most feature rich and have the most quality of life features to make the game easier. Then if you like it you can go back and play the others. It seems like this will be the best of the series. (At least most highly rated)

Puzzlers Mini Metro And Mini Motorways Get New Crossover Maps In 'Miniversary' Update
This is a nice little update. I've had the game on my wishlist for a while and just saw it was on sale. Nice to learn that the sale is to promote the update.

I agree. Also budget is important and how much you want to travel around chicago when you're here. I knew someone who lived in Rosemont and was happy with it, except for the commute since the trains went into the town instead of straight east.

Wild that AC can't be guaranteed. I get that it's a finicky part of a car, but it should be solvable

Illinois chooses Metra to operate Chicago-Rockford service
Reply in thread
RPM is I think one of their most expensive projects yet. I'm happy to see the redline finally expanding south.
I do think the next goal should be a line out west that runs north to south (think kedzie) but that's certainly a ways out.

Switch 2 hinted for an early 2024 launch

Considering the wii and 3DS eshops were kept alive several years into the switch's lifetime, how "soon" are you worried about?

What would you like to see here?
I think the weekly discussion / general questions / themed questions (eg a neighborhood or food or things to do) pinned thread was good.
I mainly used r/chicago to read discussion on news articles, and hear peoples thoughts on, eg events around the city or whatever the mayor did. All news or events is fine for me. could be a new restaurant or neighborhood block party, etc.

Restaurant reccomendations for vegan/plant based?
Have you checked out the app happy cow? I'm not in the area, so don't know how populated it is. But when traveling that's the first place I check for vegan options.

Best bars/restaurants in south loop area?
I'm not sure where in South Loop you are or what's "walking distance." I'd say Asian Outpost is my favorite spot. Yolk for breakfast, and I really like Niu B but was only there once or twice. Probably not walkable but La Cantina has good food as well.
