Early tests show bizarre issues with Nintendo Switch voice chat app

As Nintendo points out in the app's official FAQ, voice chat cannot run in the background while using your phone for other purposes such as "texts, social media, etc.":

"The voice chat will disconnect while you're talking on the phone or using another application, but your voice chat will restart in the same room once you open the Nintendo Switch Online application again as long as the game session is still ongoing."

What's more, early testing confirms that the app won't work if your phone goes into power-saving "sleep mode," with the screen inactive. And don't bother trying to use the app to chat with your Switch friends while away from the system, either: you can only join chat rooms with people when you're actively playing a specific, supported game with them.

GameXplain said you can't even pull down the notification tray on your phone while using the app and voice chat. You immediately get cut off.

so yeah sounds like if you are playing a switch online using your phone to voice chat you can't do anything else on it at all without being disconnected.

want to send a quick text to a friend to see if he wants to join..
DISCONNECTED.

get a phone call
DISCONNECTED!

want to just not have your screen on all the time
DISCONNECTED!

:/

I mean just listen to how whiny Franco sounds when he says "NOT"...he doesn't clench his teeth or even bothers to throw the bottle...

I'm comparing the 2 clips and although different, I can still sense the style and what they were going for. It's kinda like if you compared Bela Lagosi's "Pull the strings!" quote from Plan 9 with Abe Vigoda's "Pull the string's!" quote from Ed Wood. In Plan 9, the quote was accompanied with Lagosi's expressive face and stock footage of buffalo, In Ed Wood however, Vigoda's face wasn't that expressive and his voice was more booming than Lagosi's. Still, it got the point across.

Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the singer hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered Thursday just before 9 AM.
Chester was married with 6 children from 2 wives.
The singer struggled with drugs and alcohol for years. He had said in the past he had considered committing suicide because he had been abused as a child by an older male.

unrelated, Xbox One S is a bad blu-ray player. It stutters & forces frame rate issues in all movies at random 20ish minute intervals.

Not yet. Every time I goto a book store, I forget to grab it I do want it though. The whole world around Tommy is insane to me.

The book is absolutely brilliant and one of my favourites. It's almost as funny as the movie itself, as well as being a genuinely compelling and poignant story of friendship and ambition. It really humanizes Tommy a lot, while not completely demystifying him.
