TL;DR- No.

You can't install homebrew (including unofficial emulators) on the Switch without being able to set up and boot into a hacked emuNAND (effectively a hacked backup copy of the Switch OS running off the microSD). Afaik you can't do that without a launch edition Switch where you can short the controller pins to access the recovery "menu" and use that to push custom "hack" code to the Switch.

switch.hacks.guide is your friend if you want a reputable source on the current best method to get emuNAND set up. The current tool/custom OS/whatever the fuck they call it is named Atmosphere.

If you have an Android phone, you can try emulating those games using PPSSPP, and if it works at a decent speed (it probably will) you can pick up a phone mount for your controller of choice and a USB C to USB C cable to just slap the phone onto the top of a controller and then use your phone to emulate from.

Unless this is a dump of something that hasn't been catalogued by one of the dump checking groups like nointro, there's no advantage to even risking it.

You can search their database on their website, and you can find full romsets (collections of roms that match their known good file hashes) on archive.org.

And if it's a romhack, wouldn't you better serve your readers by pointing them to the safe downloads on archive.org, to the patch, and to tools to do it themselves?

It's just not worth the risk.

In college I always named my router Skynet.

How am I supposed to find a cop to fuck on such short notice?

Don't know why anyone would want to fart into a bong

I don't know what to tell you beyond what I've already said.

I'm not denying that it's a serious goddamn problem. I have acknowledged that in every single comment I've made about this. Please stop insisting that I'm saying otherwise.

Once again, I am only saying that despite the high numbers, it is not just some ever present part of life over here to the degree that every American, or even a majority, has experienced gun violence. Everyone from the outside seems to think that's true, but it's insanely, laughably not. The quite overwhelming majority of Americans have not experienced gun violence, and won't within their lifetime.

Our population number is roughly equivalent to 3/4 of the entire European Union's combined population. Any of our numbers relating to people are going to look high unless you bear that in mind.

Really everyone? Veracrypt encrypted psuedo-drive container, password protected, saved in a game's install folder (to mask the size) with a filename that blends in. %appdata% could work too, but more likely to get purged by some overzealous cleanup script. Mount and unmount the vercrypt volume as needed. Won't cause the risk of something showing up in the file browser search or recent files lists (or at least they won't actually be able to open them from recent), and won't immediately stand out if someone uses some sort of storage analyzer like WinDirStat. Just another big data file for some game. Could go sneakier and do a hidden volume in the container, or just encrypt an entire USB drive, but that's probably overkill.

Then when you get your own computer/don't live with your folks? Who gives a fuck. Clearly labeled folder. Media/Internet/Porn/

At that point anyone who snoops does so at their own peril.

That's... some pretty blantant disordered thinking.

A huge chunk of life is things outside of your control. You only have control over how you react to those things.

Beyond that, if you got yourself into a mess, you can get yourself out. Any time where you're only fighting against yourself is a time where the odds are better in your favor than usual.

It's will draining work to fight yourself into a better state, can be soul crushing, and it sure as hell isn't fucking easy, but it is possible.

Self-care isn't always giving yourself grace to fail, but it's also not just beating yourself up for past failures. Survival is a perfectly ok goal. Then attempt for comfort and vague happiness. Then maybe you should consider trying to "make something of yourself".

Very few of our names will live on past the people immediately surrounding us. That can be freeing if you can frame it the right way. Very few "make it". Most just "get by", and that's fine.

While that's not the nicest way to say it, I think accepting that is a huge part of growing up, IMO.

I am intelligent, and I am skilled in some things that are incredibly difficult to others such that those things are almost effortless to me. But I'm not the best. I'm definitely not the most intelligent by any fucking metric. There's tons of people more skilled than me in what I'm good at. There's countless more skilled than me in general (not just in my skillset), and even more than that skilled at what I'm not skilled at.

And that's ok. I'm good enough.

The world is complicated, and the story that the most skilled always rise to the top, that so many gifted children hold onto through their youth, isn't universally true. That can be depressing, but what I find important is this: There are countless people less skilled than you who were and are able to find a place to fit and a way to make it, and you never know when you're going to find someone better than you that forces you to re-evaluate just how good you actually are at something. Take those as opportunities to learn.

Just be you. You can find a way to make it.

You don't have to be the best. Not being the best doesn't mean you aren't applying yourself or working hard enough. The world isn't separated into the categories of only first place and losers.

Honestly? That's rookie numbers.

 

Bah humbug.

 

PrefaceI'm not trying to call out the mod action of removing my post from the comm so much as I'm calling out the complete lack of mod action leading to the comm becoming shit and having the current top post by scaled, hot, and active being a post that explicitly targets another lemmy user.

That out of the way... !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world has clearly been slipping from the purpose of the comm for a while now. Most of the posts are actually infuriating and/or political. I understand that what qualifies as either of those can be different for different people, but I feel most of this shit clearly isn't mundane or simple enough to fall under the label of just mildly infuriating.

Here's some examples from the first page right now, sorted by scaled.

While I could have sworn the sidebar had a no politics rule, it doesn't at the time of me writing this up, so politics are arguably acceptable, although I personally feel these all clearly don't match the theme of the community, violating Rule 7.

Sidebar, and expanded rule 7

A few other posts have been made calling this out.

Mod harder and [META] What actually constitutes "mildly infuriating" content?

################################

Beyond all that mess, we have what was the final straw for me.

Rule 1 (and less so 5), and the current top post by scaled, hot, and active.

I cannot accept that a post to mildly infuriating that targets a specific user while not even removing their username is respectful, and I personally consider it harassment (while it may not violate rule 5 as there is no call to action). Removing the username is usually the bare minimum even in the fucking reddit brigading subs, for plausible deniability.

And regardless of whatever arguments can be had about interpretations of the community's specific rules, it's a dick move. Just block the guy. It reminds me of the god awful reddit dogpiling and brigading. I don't want any of that to come to lemmy.

So I reported it, then saw the recent posts asking mods for action that got no response. I then looked at the mods.

  • LillianVS@lemmy.world (Aer) has not been active in two years.
  • STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world (Striker) has not been active in one year.
  • Tenthrow@lemmy.world had not appeared to be active for six days at the time I reported the post, but upon checking the community mod log was likely active two days before (assuming that the other two wouldn't be just lurking and modding for over a year).

So I did something dumb as hell. Roughly an hour after I reported it, I made my own post (now removed from the comm). I find people who make call out posts about others, and the absentee mods allowing it, mildly infuriating. Yeah, childish as shit. What's done is done.

Modlog:

Removed for "doesn't fit community", but what do you folks think? Does it really not fit when the top post is what it is? Personally I think both should be gone, lest that comm descend further into shit.

Either way, now that I have this yell into the void out of me, I'm blocking the comm. Maybe I should have made my post in actually infuriating? (kidding)

 

That is a threat.

From some back to school flyer.

 

We understand that this is a jarring and sudden change, but we're proud of our audio team's ability to create suitable replacements with such short notice. We hope that in time, these new sounds will grow to hold a place in your heart just like the old ones.

I have so many great memories from childhood vacations to Mystery Flesh Pit National Park. I cant believe the disaster happened all the way back in 2007.

At least someone has been collecting and documenting everything they can find from the old place: https://www.mysteryfleshpitnationalpark.com/

I still can't make it all the way through the disaster report.

 

This ancient video has ruined this song for me. My toddler is getting into Sesame Street, so the original song is on rotation in the car for the kid friendly playlist. Hard to keep from giggling.

Post name is from the video.

 

Jerboa's not too bad, as the URL field is the same field the link to your uploaded image ends up overwriting, but I swear I see people making this mistake every fucking day. End up posting just an image when they wanted image + link.

Apologies, as I'm sure there's proper channels for this, and open source projects tend to not have the best UIs. Just shouting into the void.

 

Definitely a repost, but it fits the season
