The second someone posts a video on how to use this jig I bought, is the very same second I will "hack" my Switch.

Haven’t yet done any hacks for the switch, plan to once atmosphere is formally released most likely. Hoping it’ll be a permanent solution where we don’t have to keep manually entering RCM mode every (re)boot.
At that point I’ll get a 256gb micro SD to be future proof for a while, wait out the substantial homebrew of my liking, that being (gamecube) emulation and of the like, expanding the functionality of my switch.

Not sure if I'm gonna hack my Switch at all.
So far I've hacked nearly nearly every console I've owned.
I've noticed that when piracy becomes available I downloaded lots of games but instead of playing more I actually play less.

I really enjoyed the xbox (classic) and the PS3 hacking and I think I loved the hacking more then then games I gained through it.
With the Switch I'm really loving the games atm.

This may change.


For now the earliest I'll hack my Switch is when a limited edition switch comes that I really want or a Switch 2.0 comes.
Then I'll transfer everything to the new one and use the old one for hacking.

User participation thread still going strong.

Again - if for some reason talk in here should die down, here is your next user participation question to keep it going. As always, you can parttake in it without actually knowing a thing.

Here it is:

"Once you've hacked your Switch, when will be the first day you'll take it on a walk in the park?" Please discuss. And remember, you might want to be among the first, or you might not want to be among the first - either answer is best. You do you.

I'm very interested in your answers. Please share them in the comments below.

edit: Should this turn out to favor the average usecase scenario of "I wait a little, then I do something", this also will be best.

Or if someone puts up a poll with actual pickable answers - the one that would win in that would be best. Obviously.

What I'd actually be interested in - now that you've gotten all kinds of different answers imaginable, and everyone feels better, because he/she could voice what they would do, without knowing any of the specifics of the upcoming releases - has this helped you in any way?

What answer would you go by?

- The most common one?
- The one that urges you to take some kind of "in the middle" approach?
- The one that says - be first?
- The one that says, whenever a youtube tutorial with "most easy way" in the title comes out?
- The one that says, that they'd buy another Switch, when Nintendo releases it in a new color or print, and then do whatever is popular at the time, probably?

- The ones, that have the word piracy in them? (Finally they could tell people what they were waiting for!)
- The ones that said, that waiting is probably best - let others deal with problems, they don't have, because they didn't hack?

- The second software solution (whatever that is at this point)?

Any answer you'd prefer? Everyone has a good point, I presume?

Oh, and dont worry about the "walk in the park" part. Thats meta. Probably too meta.

(What I've learned so far is: No wonder every youtuber is asking the public for something he's very interested in getting answered by a bunch of random people - the participation numbers are astonishing...)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like being immature.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Let be immature online ffs.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    As long as it's not resetera, anywhere is ok really.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    resetera is just... cancerous
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    is that Ultimate Hentai Kamen at your avatar?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I see you're a person of culture.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    likewise
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It's a genuinely great manga.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    too bad it never got an anime adaption, even in the form of OVA since a tv series would be too censored for the manga's material.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    and yeah, great manga.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    no idea why it would be censored tbh, it has nothing to explicit
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    compared to most midnight anime that air in japan
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    we talk about same japanese tv that censors shit like teenage characters smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'd rather they censor smoking than cleavage like they do in the west.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Smoking is bad for your health, boobs are good
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    actually anime have also toned down fanservice a lot at the last 2 decades. when was the last time you saw nipples in anime that isnt hentai?
    Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru: actually anime have also toned down fanservice a lot at the last 2 decades. when was the last...
