A new firmware update for the 3DS, 11.8, has been just released, and I have some bad news for you: this update breaks Luma3DS, and Seedminer might also have been patched too.
While your device won't be bricked, and B9S won't be uninstalled (so your 3DS will still be modded), it won't boot anymore because Luma now fails to apply a FIRM patch and forces the console to shut down, however, and this is the bad part, TWL_FIRM has been updated too, and it's speculated that this update finally fixes the exploit that b9stool (and subsequently Seedminer) uses to install B9S on the console, although it's not confirmed yet and it's being researched right now.

As for the former, hopefully it will be a few days of waiting before a new version gets released which fixes the issue, but as for the latter, if Seedminer was patched, well... hopefully a new exploit will be eventually found (although there's always the handy, unpatchable ntrboot, but it's not as cheap)

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
