I was slightly joking. That's pretty awesome.

It’s just bait for people to get in the van

Thanks!

Switch 2 like many out there.
Battletoads Reboot, Recore and Sunset Overdrive were heavily discounted on Steam, so i picked those up.
And borrowed a copy of Hogwarts Legacy on Switch 1 to play through the intro and grab the digital Switch 2 version for cheap.

Speaking of - does that work? Borrow a cart, buy discounted "upgrade" or does it make you keep the cart in to play?

But does it have 120hz or better refresh? That 120hz looks soooooo good with everything and esp at 120fps

Nope, you don't need to keep the cart in to play. Its straight up just the digital Switch 2 version.
So yeah, you just borrow a cart, play the intro and go grab the "DLC" that lets you buy the discounted digital version.

There's no way big N left that huge kind of oversight, though proverbially it just prints em more money anyway.

Unfortunately not and I'm disappointed now!

Still not surprising on cheapo modern tubes, or slabs rather. I got my Sony in '19 specifically because it understood 120 forced when you set your comp to custom display settings and nothing else on the market physically could. Thing weighs like a coffin tho.

The printer has not arrived yet, but I already received a pack of vacuum bags for storage the filament, 33 bags plus a electric pump for 12.99

Y'all already know, but not to the full extent that this means to me-

This is THE first time, any merch in the franchise got any action, in the figure flavor. Memes will be glorious as will the mods.

It's not something generic to Switch 2 Edition games, it's something specific to this game because they have standalone games with no upgrade path, but wanted to give some kind of an upgrade path anyway??

My guess is that they didn't want to be limited to Switch 1 cartridge loading speeds maaaaaaaaybe? But yeah see below for info:

I dropped and broke my Porta PottyPro so I upgraded to the new wireless model. Also got a new MD album a fancy PCB ruler, as I didn't actually have any reasonably sized rulers left.

And I also got a folding phone / tablet holder to keep my GB upright so I can more easily listen to the radio, or hold some other stuff up. It seems pretty versatile with the size and the center of mass is low enough it's surprisingly stable even when balancing something like a switch on it. Also it's thin enough to comfortably bring along in a bag.

Just arrived,

unfortunately i had toreplace the Realme 12+ with this one because it had some problems and let's hope that with this one everything is fine.

I would highly suggest you delete the photo that shows the IMEI of the phone, you should never list your IMEI on a public forum. With a little bit of info, anyone could blacklist your phone from your carrier and make it useless.

I've considered using the old software, but quite frankly Web MiniDisc Pro works perfectly and is easy to use.
Plus it has a few features Sony didn't want consumers to have.

So hook up the NetMD recorder and fire away?? I hate that it's web-only, but that's fantastic news!

It does need a driver, but yeah basically. You can also download it as a webapp in most chromium browser and have it run entirely locally from your machine. Though doing so does prevent using the better atrac encoder for uploads, which I would recommend using. You can find the full documentation and feature sets on the wiki this is hosted at, as well as get help and support on their discord server.

Fantastic! Hopefully we eventually get a fully offline program though, since anything on the web can up and disappear at moment's notice.

That would be convenient, though the project is on github and GPL licensed, so you can fork it freely or even create your own instance, and presumably also host it locally somewhere yourself.
But yeah, I wouldn't mind having it as a standalone program, but at least this way it will work on every OS, whether windows, linux, MacOS, or even ChromeOS. So you know, you win some you lose some.
