@matana the misunderstanding is over *what* will get your console bricked. i agree that they shouldn't do it at all, but people are acting like something as simple as a voltage spike is going to brick your console forever. it's probably only going towards the pirates and people who are cheating in online games or using hacks to enter people's game chats and stuff. staying offline when you're doing homebrew stuff or piracy especially has always been recommended.
@veru Rev!
@lain i'd be outside falling three stories that would be fun
@LukeAlmighty well you're not really paying to stream your 10fps gameplay, you're paying to play online and they just added another "perk" lol. but yes the game chat video streaming looks like utter dogshit.

@xianc78 hmmmm i think the original does sound better. if you wanted it to sound more old school you'd likely need to have made it with low quality samples to begin with. i'm trying to mess around with bitcrushing it now and i can't get it to sound good.
nintendo has done a HORRIBLE job at controlling the narrative of the switch 2. i hear random ass people complaining about $90 games or how they can just randomly decide to brick your console for no reason at all. like, IRL randos saying that. online, i still see tons of people complaining about having to pay money for frame rate and resolution enhancements, but the upgrades that do just that and only that are free. then you had people complaining about the price of mario kart world and then nintendo has the direct they say is going to change people's perception of the price, and it shows off like 1 new minor thing. nintendo content creators are carrying HARD and even they miss things pretty often.
@MagnumImpulse that's a solid idea because yeah, websites can tell where you've been if you click a link to get there.
even something as simple as leaving spaces or putting an emoji somewhere in the link so all someone has to do is press the delete key once will suffice.
Paypal, Ko-Fi, and all these other websites are tracking you through the links you click and the cookies you pick up along the way.
They then gather that information, analyze it and then use that to inform them as to which accounts to nuke. As an example, if you post a ko-fi link directly on baraag or pomf, then they look into the site and discover the content there, they can use that to kill your account even if you posted nothing but the link.
they are networking everything you do through the websites you visit and build a pattern of activity but it only matters if you do business on those sites. So as an example,
if I were posting my paypal.me link here and I started getting commission money through it, that would kill my account.
Direct links might be the key. Break them up! Manually typing in links and using QR codes in your art might be the solution.
