My experience was the complete opposite. Still use my modified 3DS to this day.
Same here. I have it really modified, a bunch of games I'll eventually complete and the wonderful of being able to play NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, DS... It's the perfect handheld. Right now I'm going halfway through Yoshi's Island Advance, and it's incredible. Up next: Shovel Knight Treasure Trove

Doesn't apply to me.

I took a look at the 3ds library, figured out 3ds has no games, especially not having done so much during the GBA and DS era*, and skipped getting a 3ds at all for myself.

*for me the DS took all that made the GBA great and improved upon that. The 3ds at best was content to tread water and at worst bled all the interesting developers, and middle ground suffered the "we cloned a good game without an understanding of what made the original good" problem.

Had I got myself a 3ds though it absolutely would have applied.

In my case, was accurate a couple months ago. Now I use the 3DS and WiiU more than my Switch v4.1.0 (Waiting for Exosphère)

Oh my god. Why is this so true? I've got to make an effort to play my 3DS more! I'm going to start playing ALL the games I downloaded starting TODAY!

...Okay, maybe I can start tomorrow.

It's sad. I think I've bought all of the 3DS games I've finish, or at least played close to completion. Well, at least it'll get used one last time. Persona Q2 is coming.

I played on my 3DS a LOT, it was my main gaming system for years (heck, I had three 3ds systems). But today, yeah, it's gathering dust.

LOL, exactly what I do with all my modded consoles...It seems nowadays I only enjoy modding them and setting everything up.
And not playing games on them :(

Fire Emblem games are pretty much what keeps my 3DS active and if I'm ever in the mood to play pkmn. The 3DS and Vita are at their highest peak in hacking its not going to get any better

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I don't trust the free ones, but ipvanish I've used for couple years now, n like
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if they could get CPUs to run that hot then use the heat to power a steam turbine to power the CPUs....
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Good idea, or at least power the GPU
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's not the movies or games downloads that I would worry about, like breaking into networks, downloading encrypted things, spying on network traffic. I have seen so many "Top Secret" seals on files when I was a kid
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I was obsessed with finding UFOs, a surprising amount of US files where stashed on computers in other countries, China back in the early 90s omg sooo much
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that crazy, I've never tried hack into anything, I just pirate, and my ISP have send me 3-4 letters, so had to VPN it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Ship to ship communication software for the Navy although without access to the encrypting chips it was mostly useless
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I bet now a 4090 could probably crack it? Hmmm maybe not even back then I'm pretty sure they where using like 1024 bit encryption
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yayyy the one set finished 324GBs lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Compressed....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder how many years that would have taken on a 56K modem lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    18000 hours lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    750 days lol
