My plan:
Sign up for GameFly and rent games like bravely default where it online is used but not much.
In bravely default online is used only to update data from other player and it only takes a couple of seconds to do.
The possibility of two consoles going online together is very low but STILL POSSIBLE.
Maybe I will try in the far far future, MAYBE

Just to be clear, saves can be restored from retail releases, but this does not apply to nand saving games like pokemon right? I have a few boxes of pokemon I want to transfer from my pokemon black retail cart but its gonna be such as drag getting it all into a dumped x rom.

only if the game was played in emunand, if played on a retail console the save won't work

Does anyone know what happens after you update a rom via eshop that has a modified header (potentially a 4gb header for a smaller size game).

They're implying that you should dump your own game data. Which requires you to have a retail copy of the game.
Gateway is not intended as a piracy device, but a backup device. They don't condone piracy, but allow it if desired.
Just a question. How are we expected to dump our own game data if we don't have the information or tools to do so? So far it seems they are not publicly released.

The tools are built into the Gateway menu. Insert retail cart, select backup cart, and it dumps the ROM. They also have added the option to do the same thing with saves now too.

Great, thanks for the information, at least now I know I can backup my retail cartridges too.
I don't see it useful for now since I don't need to play some games while my friend borrows them. Powersaves device is enough for me.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
