I knew that he could, but I didn’t know that he would

okay lemme grab my coat hoodie

That’s pretty neat

I lost my Switch in a fire unfortunately, but thank you for the heads up. Now I’ve gotta figure out what emulator made it the farthest before shutting down

I quit using shops years ago because they all ended up being paywalled. It’s been shown time and time again that ‘unrelated donations’ is not a loop hole. Most shops weren’t even unrelated. You had to donate an undumped game or eshop credit towards one. I understand obtaining the games in the first place isn’t free, but taking money for anything Nintendo related is a bad move, and will be seen as selling their copyrighted material in a court of law

I’m also not ashamed to say, I pirate to get free shit. You start charging, I’ll put in more effort to get it for free. There are ways to run your own shop, which I did for a while, but I got tired of messing with the network and just used USB install over DBI for the most part

Awesome, thanks for the info and heads up

I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but I don’t want to start a new one for a related question. I understand I will probably have to wipe or partition my primary drive, but will I be able to use my other drives as-is, and have access to all of my files and things?

I got scared for a second, I love Sunshine. I don’t think I will have much need for it in my current situation unfortunately

Is dual booting as simple as loading the Windows OS off of a drive in the BIOS?

Alright, I don’t have anything capable of HDR so that is no worries. No (intrusive) anticheat, no game pass. I’m sure a few random games have issues. Doesn’t sound like it should be a big deal though. Thank you

That’s what I was thinking but I just wanted to make sure. I really appreciate all the help

Thanks! I didn’t even think to look for a compatibility list. I’m quick to check them for emulators, but it didn’t even cross my mind

Thanks for the help. I’m not fond of invasive a anticheat as it is, played like 10 minutes of Fortnite when it was a survival game, and I’m sure I can use the high seas to get around game pass. I’ll have to check a couple of specific games, but I think I might be pretty good to go

This may be a silly question, but as far as online games that work, it shouldn’t matter if my friends are on Windows, right?

I’m mentally preparing for the switch. Would you mind naming some of the games keeping you on Windows?

Thank you, I knew I had seen this question before

I trained mine to do this when I say shake. I hope nobody tries to go for a handshake on a rainy day

I suppose that goes for most suggestions, including my own. Balatro feels like such a ‘one more turn’ kind of game I’d have a hard time pausing during a run

What is your experience with board games? I’m very deep in the hobby, so some I enjoy may be too much or too boring for you. Do you have specific mechanics you enjoy or dislike? Are themes important to you?

There are many individual apps for specific games, but there are also a couple of websites where you can play tons of board games online

Board Game Arena

Tabletopia

They should both have nice guides on how to play the games before you get started. I haven’t personally used Tabletopia, I just know it is fairly popular. I have used Board Game Arena tons and have even had the subscription at times to support them and allow me to host more games. You can still join premium games, and there are plenty of completely free games. If I remember correctly BGA even has a more passive mode where it notifies you when it is your turn

As for individual games, I’m going to go with Wingspan. It is a birdwatching game. You collect bird cards, gain food for them, add eggs to their nest, etc. It is a super chill, entertaining game that you can easily grab a couple turns during ads

/boardgames

I’ve been playing Pokemon Emerald Rogue thanks to another user’s recommendation in a separate thread. It’s Pokemon the Roguelike. It is absolutely perfect in my eyes. With it being turn based you can easily set it down and pick it up. It’s ridiculously modernized and customizable as well. Lots of love went into that ROM hack and I can’t recommend it enough

They said during ad breaks. I think OP still wants to watch the show

Me too! I was worried I started looking like a shill lol, but I just love Vampire Survivors and I knew they would end up making a Castlevania DLC. I can’t believe how huge it is
