A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

a hacked switch can run linux. as for the steam deck running the switch UI, i'd imagine its just a screenshot

I know it's slower, less practical, or simply not possible, but I wish more emulators would let me use the original UI of the system that's being emulated instead of booting straight into the game. PCSX2 is one that comes to mind, I can choose to boot into the bios and hear all those nostalgic PlayStation 2 sounds again!

I don't think switch emulators have this feature :(

If I remember correctly it's because console corps can more easily do takedowns if you're distributing BIOS files, and that means needing to get them elsewhere which can be a hurdle for using them. I do wish there was an option to play a video before launching a game so I could just drop in a recording of the boot animation for nostalgia though…

Yes, but making an optional checkbox that allows you to upload your fully legal, self-procured BIOS files would go a long way

Put up a bounty high enough and someone will I'm sure

Emulating the real one will be a hard work, but replicating the UI must be possible.

damn I miss the gamecube menu sound

Nah, every switch emulator can boot the switch OS just fine, but 90% of the features dont work properly when accessed through the OS.

So this screenshot is legitimate, and I believe you can launch the game using this method, but none of those other buttons work properly.

’d imagine its just a screenshot
