If I boot up my switch without going into RCM mode, will the CFW not be activated? Will I be able to play online? Can I still access the games I downloaded through tinfoil?

You should create an emummc (emulated copy of your Switch internal memory - sysmmc). Then you use sysmmc for you official games and emummc for your unofficial games and homebrew. That way you can play the games you bought online in sysmmc, keeping it clean. Make sure emummc is either offline or use DNSmitm to block Nintendo servers. Otherwise you might get banned by Nintendo which will affect both emummc and sysmmc.

You are correct that If you don't enter rcm when you turn on your Switch then cfw will not be activated and you will end up in sysmmc. If you enter rcm you can choose between sysmmc or emummc depending on which payload and which config you use.

So yes you will be able to play online but only your officially bought games in sysmmc
Yes you can access you downloaded games in emummc but only offline

As I understand it the Switch uses MMC where older consoles used NAND. I think the correct term for the Switch is SysMMC and EmuMMC but people are used to calling it NAND.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong :)

But basically the answer to your question is YES it means the same thing.

Don't do that unless you have an emunand for all your pirated content and a clean NAND for your online play.

    guys, this sounds unhinged, but someone (i forgot who) saying they'd want to make their left 4 dead team wario, samus, captain falcon and nester gave me the idea for a quick round of fuck marry kill/bed wed behead

    wario, samus, captain falcon
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i gotta say fuck captain falcon, because he's hot (no homo), marry samus, because she seems like good wife (or as BigOnYa says, wifey) material, and kill wario, because he can't die, so killing him won't really kill him

    My state has put a heavy tax on vape juice, taxing any juice with nicotine by the weight/oz. So to get around the bs, my local vape store only sells 0 nicotine vape juices, then they also sell straight nicotine in tiny bottles, and you mix it yourself to your 0% juice, lol
