People are freaking the fuck out now because Nintendo has started banning consoles that are using the MIG Switch on the Switch 2.

In reality, this is what Nintendo has always done on the Switch 1, even. If you had any pirated games, not mods but pirated games, and connected online... your entire Switch would get a console ban. You can still play your downloaded games after unlinking your account but you can never connect to Nintendo's servers again on that console. You can still play physical games. Your console isn't bricked, you just were stupid and got yourself banned. This is the same thing happening on Switch 2.

If you are using a MIG Switch on the Switch 2, you NEED to keep that thing offline. Forever. Which means it'll be essentially the same thing as having a console ban. This is how playing pirated/backup copies of games worked on the Switch 1, and it is how it has worked on other consoles as well. Wii and Wii U are exceptions because Nintendo had shit security back then. PS Vita is an exception because Sony just kind of doesn't give a fuck about the PS Vita. If you're going to be playing backups on a brand new console though, taking it online is the WORST idea. People got way too comfortable knowing that the MIG Switch had worked around the Switch 1's security, but obviously Nintendo would have figured something out for the Switch 2.

IN THE FUTURE, if somebody finds out how to mod the Switch 2 and we get parity with the Switch 1 in terms of things you can do with it, you will be able to make an emulated NAND. This effectively works as a second console stored on your SD card. This is the one you keep offline, forever, to do things like playing backups and perhaps even doing things like using mods on games and emulators. Your console won't be banned because there won't be any detected activity on your system NAND, the one present on your console itself.

Until that day though, any and every tool that lets you bypass any security that the Switch 2 has does have the possibility of getting your console banned so tread with absolute caution and keep things offline until some other dummy finds out the hard way that it's fine to be online.

@Vo what the fuck is this SUPPOSED to say?

@veru already possible with the death note, but only if you want the diarrhea to kill them

@veru i'd use a death note if i got it, not even gonna lie

@smugumin stefan seems like a good guy

@creamqueen tbf i wouldn't have recognized that was garfield unless i was told it was. just looks like miku wearing an orange cat outfit.

i absolutely love her face though it's so cute.

@rosey @coolboymew yeah, totk is a very flawed game even though it is mechanically very sound and i got tons of hours out of it.

@casytay if you're looking for somewhere to go next to kind of push your art into new territory, i notice that your backgrounds are all fairly simple. studying more complex scenes could prove to be a good exercise.

@smugumin i'm so glad i never got vaxxed man

@coolboymew every time i tell somebody i'm playing the new mario kart even irl they're like "you ACTUALLY bought a SWITCH 2? what's wrong with you?!" i was beginning to think i was the only one on fedi who actually did get one.

i've been thinking about revisiting fast rmx while waiting for the fast fusion patch to come out. i heard rmx maxes out its dynamic res which is nice. fusion's scaling is just really fucked, artifacts like crazy. they're releasing a patch to make it the same way rmx was, just dynamic res instead of this weird DLSS upscaling from 520p to 4K bullshit.

@Wiz @ceo_of_monoeye_dating this is like whenever the middle school science teacher would come to class in a princess dress when we would hit the goal for the charity fundraiser.

he smuggled a student in to his classroom in a box. twice.

@coolboymew did you get a switch 2 also? or am i still the only person on fedi who bought one

@Wrest @Goalkeeper yeah i'm not even sure how much these dyes actually end up doing, but literally the only reason to have them is to make the food/drinks LOOK pretty and that's not why i eat/drink it lol. i do not give two shits about that.

holy shit this is so good
