That's a bun right there.

Thanks for the compassion and discussion today. I saw your other comment about keeping all virtual cards on the primary console and you're 100% right. I've been mulling over this all day but that solution just... Didn't occur to me. Thanks again!

I am a self-certified memeology expert and I can attest to this meme's banger quality, with and without context.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. With this setting on, your primary console can now be locked out of games if you're caught offline and without the virtual card. That wasn't possible before.

Though I don't understand your point about being offline. If you are using the current primary / secondary console, then you can't play on secondary console unless you are online, right?

I could have explained better. My docked Switch is set as secondary console, which forces online checks. That's fine because I never take it outside. My Switch Lite is set as primary console, which means it (used to be) able to play any downloaded games, no questions asked – if the connectivity check fails, it will just warn you that your cloud save status couldn't be verified.

Say I have a virtual game card of Suika Game loaded in my docked Switch. I now need to leave home, so I close the game and bring my Switch Lite with me which has Suika Game downloaded. During lunch at work, I open my Switch Lite and start up the game. That used to be fine, but now there's instead a prompt to move the virtual game card from my docked Switch at home to this one, which I can't do because I don't have internet at work. I forgot my digital copy of Suika Game at home even though it's downloaded on the console I'm holding.

This is a hypothetical example, and sorry for the wall of text, but it's a needlessly complicated system that is a net negative for the user.

So, I have two consoles. A regular Switch that I use docked only, and a Lite for portable. Switching between them was always cumbersome due to cloud saves (they fail 1/20 times so I got used to always updating them manually), but this adds yet another step (it's actually 4 screens to go through, with loading between two of them).

Not to mention, if the console with the virtual card is offline, and you wanna play the game on the other console – you can't. If you or Nintendo are having connection issues, you can lose access to your downloaded digital games.

Another problem is if you lose physical access to a console with virtual game cards on it. The games are then gone with the console.

I've been a strong Nintendo supporter (monetarily) for years, having played through just over 100 games in this setup, so this is very, very disappointing to me.

Generally he just says whatever will spark the most controversy and clicks/interactions.

Jag har använt en Fairphone 3 med e/OS i fem år. Jag är ingen power-user, men jag är väldigt nöjd!

Jag köpte choklad från Fazer igår istället för Marabou (som ägs av Mondelez).

The game itself isn't very fun or interesting at all imo, but I do love this artwork. It's a simple puzzle game where you draw a path from your character to the girl, while avoiding letting the bully reach her. The title translates to something like "Love is a Strategy Game"

 
 

Since the GBA lacked dedicated sound hardware, I think this is very impressive, even despite the bitcrushed vocals 💀

 

So I've been playing the first SaGa game, following the announcement of the new SaGa: Emerald Beyond that will release in 2024. I've never played a SaGa game before, but I love how rough around the edges and unconventional it is. You really have to use your imagination a bit sometimes and not interpret everything literally. The whole game kind of feels like a bizarre fever dream. This "cactus" included.
