I devour a firehose of on-line content material daily as a part of my job. Sooner or later within the final week, by a submit, remark, or video I can now not keep in mind, I turned conscious of a shortcut for tinkering with the brightness on my Swap 2. Seems this existed on the unique Swap as properly. All it’s a must to do his maintain down the house button to immediately carry up the slider. Eureka!
I’ve had the previous Swap because it launched again in March 2017. I nonetheless keep in mind passing by the meals courtroom on the mall to select it up from GameStop. 1000’s of hours later, it feels barely embarrassing to report that I by no means knew about this settings menu shortcut.
I alter my brightness settings so much relying on the place I’m sitting, the time of day, how vibrant it’s outdoors, and who’s round me. To chop down on the glare in my porch room, I increase it to the max. To avoid wasting battery on lengthy automotive rides with the children, I toggle it method down. In mattress with my accomplice and two-year-old whereas grinding runs of Hades 2, I additionally maintain the display dim to not wake them up.
And each rattling time I did it, I used to be going again to the house display, clicking on the settings, and going to the display brightness bar. Was this the most important trouble on the planet? Clearly not! However I really like video games and I really like gaming {hardware} and one of many cornerstones of that interest is min-maxing and I felt somewhat pang of humiliation once I realized I’d been utilizing my Swap sub-optimally all these years.
Now not! Don’t be like me! Take the information of this dwelling button shortcut and go management your display brightness the best way Nintendo supposed.
