This shouldn't be an issue. Nintendo has allowed for carts containing multiple titles for years now. Inserting the cartridge causes all the games on it to appear on the home screen.
The Switch is massively popular. Assuming the cartridge works and sells even somewhat well, we will 100% see games being shared in whatever format it uses. It might take awhile for the Switch's full back-catalog to be dumped and uploaded in the new format, but popular / recent titles will be circulated within a matter of days. If there's a way to convert existing XCI / NSP rips to the new format, there are plenty of individuals / groups who will race to get everything converted as quickly as possible.
Assuming the cart is completely transparent to the Switch, which is likely to be the case, then I see no reason why updates wouldn't download as normal. If Nintendo is able to detect the carts and ban Switches that use them, it may still be possible to access updates by rolling them into the same file as the base game and loading them from the cartridge. Personally, I think the second option is fairly likely, as it's already possible to do this with NSP rips, and it's the method that offers the most resistance to whatever countermeasures Nintendo may deploy.
This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer’s income actually goes to the artists.
CDs have been making a slow comeback for the past year or two, and global CD sales actually went up last year for the first time in over a decade. If it's anything like the vinyl or cassette resurgence, I imagine it won't be too difficult to find places that sell CDs in a few years.
My partner has DID, and I've done a ton of research into it as a result. This story sounds extremely plausible to me.
I've read multiple case studies where people with multiple personalities will get out of whatever situation was causing the disassociation, and over time some of the personalities will vanish / die off. There was also a very extreme case I read about where the fractured personalities managed to coalesce into a new whole, but it was a different personality than the original. Basically a fully formed identity that was suddenly living the life of someone they didn't identify as, and whose memories they couldn't really recall.
Even in my partner's much less severe case of DID, the less prominent personalities will sometimes go dormant for months at a time. Haven't had any of them disappear fully yet, but it's at least theoretically possible from what I understand.

Not just technically. The killer combo of FOSS operating systems is GNU/Linux on desktop and Android OSP on mobile.
I'm curious what the person you replied to is running on their phone if it isn't Android based.
Not to mention that useful information was harder to find and more difficult to verify, especially for niche technical topics like the inner workings of specific games.
No, that's not it. It was a video livestream that had the stereotypical hippie looking host sitting on the floor behind a table taking calls. I don't know if anyone recorded it at the time, but I'd recognize it instantly if I saw it.
Having stuff on top of the TV like this kind of weirds me out. I was taught that you shouldn't put electronics on top of a CRT because they can interfere with the electron beam and distort the picture.
Then again, that was in the late 90s when TVs had thinner plastic housings. This one has a built-in wood shelf on top, which I imagine provides enough insulation for it to not be an issue.
The water jets they use to cut metal only work because the stream is so narrow. Hydro pump is more like getting hit with multiple full-blast fire hoses at once
The band Overseer recorded three full albums in the 2000s, but only one was ever released. The other two were basically lost media until rips of promo copies leaked online a few years ago. I believe one of them was eventually released on Bandcamp, but the other one has never been available through official channels.
More recently, Rick Dahrouge, a small time rapper I'm a fan of, pulled one of his best EPs from streaming platforms with no warning or explanation. Luckily, I had made a lossless rip of it a few years prior, so as soon as I realized it was gone, I put my copy up on Soulseek. Within a couple hours I had someone download it and thank me for sharing it.
The version I've always heard isn't that the expansion pack "randomly fixed it", but rather that the issue was a memory leak that would cause the game to run out of RAM and crash after a couple hours. The extra memory of the expansion pack would just delay the crash for an additional 6-7 hours. I'm curious how true this is actually is now, as it seems like it would be easy enough to test.
Which sucks, because Arkane was one of my favorite developers before the quality of their output fell off over the past five years. I loved the Dishonored games, and Prey is the single best immersive sim ever made. I was looking forward to DeathLoop, but it ended up being kinda meh, and Redfall has been so universally panned that I haven't even bothered to try it.
I was vaguely interested in Dark Souls for years, but every time I tried, I bounced right off it. I went through a cycle where every year or two, I would pirate one of the souls games, try it out, give up on it after an hour or so, and do it all over again the next time I was sufficiently compelled to give the series another shot. This happened until several years ago when I tried Dark Souls II, and for some reason it finally clicked. I played my pirated copy of Dark Souls II for about 10 hours, before a random crash corrupted my save file.
After that happened, I immediately bought the game on Steam and proceeded to play it for the next month and a half, until I eventually beat it. I've since purchased every souls game plus Elden Ring on Steam, and recently imported a copy of Bloodborne GOTY edition after spending $700 on an exploitable PS5, just so I could play it at 60FPS. None of these legitimate purchases would have ever happened if I hadn't been able to repeatedly pirate Dark Souls for about five years.
No, it was inaccurate, even at the time. The Famicom was built to cost and and mainly used cheap off-the-shelf components that were already obsolete when the system first released in 1983. The NES released in North America the same year as the Commodore Amiga, a system that actually was cutting edge, and represented a big leap forward in what home computers could do graphically. By the time Mega Man released, the Amiga was on it's second revision and other home computers were rapidly catching up to it's capabilities.
While Mega Man was one of the best games on the NES, it ran at the same resolution as every other game on the system, and was stuck working within the same limited color palette and low sprite limit that were more than five years behind the curve when it released.
I'm looking for a list of games that were released on multiple platforms, but the PS2 version is actually a completely different game from what other platforms got....

Dry vaporizing takes time to hit you (5-10 minutes)
I primarily use a vaporizer, and this isn't really true in my experience. Usually, I start feeling it within 5-20 seconds of taking the first hit, and it ramps up in intensity over the next 20 seconds to a minute. If I didn't feel anything for 5-10 minutes, I'd be concerned.
My handheld vaporizer isn't nearly that efficient, but it is still crazy how efficient is is compared to smoking. Awhile back I was given a pickle jar full of bud, and it took my partner and I about 2 months to get through 1/5th of it. We ended up giving the rest to a friend who mainly rolls joints, and he burnt through all of it in under two weeks. I was genuinely shocked when he told me he had used it all already.
