Hello, World! I'm guessing I'm a lot older than most of the userbase here, maybe! Its a pretty safe bet, but prove me wrong! I'm a 40 yo woman, an illustrator by profession. At the moment, I'm living in rural Southern Québec (originally from Nova Scotia). I relocated to QC after my divorce in 2018, and these days, I live alone in the countryside, typically spending my days in solitude, enjoying my own company, working on my writing & art projects, and, as you may have guessed- playing video games.

My only system at the moment is my Nintendo Switch, and since I went out of my way to purchase an unpatched model on the 2nd hand market, with the intention of hacking & modding my system, I find it's the only console I really need to have my gaming needs met, these days.

I have a few questions I wanted to ask the modding community, after updating to v.16.0.1 CFW.

Thanks for having me! It's nice to finally graduate from being a lurker here, to a known member.

See y'all around! ♡

Well, what are the questions then? Welcome to the site, by the way! I'm 17, so not the youngest but far from oldest..

40?? Still a baby to me haha (and I'm far from the oldest!)
Welcome aboard previous lurker! :yay:
I'm younger than someone?? Wow. That's a true novelty for me, in a new online community! I'm usually TWICE the age as the average user, regardless of where I wind up in Internet communities these days. Thanks for the reply, and the reassurance ♡

Canadians? :unsure:
No, yknow- my OTHER people! The last of the long-lost Analog Era. People who possess that long-lost, deeply ingrained art of patience, who arent fast-ruined by trends of gratification at the click of a button. To someone of your age, I sure 40 still seems on the younger side, but- when I venture into Facebook groups & subreddits, it can be awkward! I made an intro post in a FB group the other day, & the first reply to my intro was a MODERATOR calling me "grandma" & "an OLD WOMAN". Its a surprise to me, with the places I normally go online, to meet people who are actually older. It's nice! Thanks very much for the warm welcome. I feel at-ease.

Wow someone ELSE older than me. Neat! It's soothing when my elders make themselves known 🤣✌️❤️ I usually feel like an awkward, outdated relic among Netizens
Older isn't always wiser so there's no need to feel awkward here. Even for gamers of my age, there were famous game programmers at least another 10 or so years older.

Ah man, ain't that the truth. My late parents never did quite learn how to adult, God bless those poor clueless souls! It's definitely not the norm, to come into ANY online community & be greeting by users OLDER than me. It's a really nice feeling, to know that I probably won't encounter anyone around HERE dropping words like "OLD" & "GRANDMA" in their replies to me (you might be surprised how often I get that reaction online!) 🤣✌️❤️

Redheads?
I... don't really draw my sense of community, or camaraderie, among other people based upon factors like hair, or ANY physical features, or even the culture or country that I'm born into. For one thing- I haven't dated ANY Canadians AT ALL in about 3 years, now. Everyone I've dated for the past while, had moved to Canada from an entirely different continent. For another- I live in Quebeckistan. So, technically- there aren't even any CANADIANS in my current province. Lastly, Gingers are pretty well completely extinct after the witch trials and Irish slavery (and I'm Irish). So, no. I draw my sense of belonging by being surrounded by my peer bracket. I was hoping that was obvious. I guess I'd better get used to dad-style jokes if I'm going to hang around here...

Nice meeting a fellow artist.
You should share some art pieces in the Art Forum or by Blogging about it.
Welcome.

    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
