did you know windows 11 sometimes thinks the shutting-down process is a process that's preventing windows from shutting down

One reasonable definition of a city state is a city that controls its surroundings and is not in turn controlled by a higher authority. Those surroundings are regarded by the state as primarily existing to support the city. Nothing too controversial here, I don't think.

So with that: I'm pretty sure England is actually the city-state of London at this point.

i might have asked this around here already, but: what are the best options for nintendo ds and 3ds flashcarts? my system is a new 3ds xl, and unscrewing the back plate to access the sd card is a pain (plus i just like having flashcarts)

oh yeah this rules, i forgot how much i liked the 3ds and putting my own stuff on it makes it better. i can finally have the typhlosion theme nintendo was too cowardly to make

Why do people want to hack their 3DS? Oh I don't know, probably because you can't buy digital games, and the over inflation of "value" on the used game market means you can't by physical either, so literally the *only* way to get use out of it now is to hack it

If Nintendo wants to continue updating the 3DS to disable hacking it then they need to allow you to buy games again. Otherwise they're just working at creating more e-waste

i think a game boy camera is my next chase item for retro gaming. maybe a game boy printer too

I've found the ultimate Game Boy Camera accessory, and can now get all my photos off it almost instantly while on the go!

"What do we do when our hypothesis is disproven?" asks the farmer.

"WE CRY!" shout two kids together.

Another of the farmers poses a question, and a child answers with a rambling (and incorrect) monologue.

"You're on the right path," says the farmer kindly.

"I'M ON A PATH!" shouts the child happily.

I have no idea what's happening anymore, but the farmer presenting about compost just asked whether the kids think bones are compostable, and instead of answering, all 19 kids started chanting, "BONES BONES BONES! BONES BONES BONES!" and dancing.

troubleshooter to see if you can still hack your 3ds on the latest version

troubleshoot.uwuu.ca/seventeen

yes i have trust issues (the root certificate is missing)

ancillary benefit of hacking your 3ds: if you have a new 3ds xl, when's the last time you cleaned under the rear cover (where the microsd slot and battery pack are)? i bet some grime got into the seam between the rear cover and the console body, get in there. a clean console is a happy console

lots of people saying "hack your 3ds now, don't download the firmware update" but in case you aren't aware

3ds.guide

the 3ds hacking bible. the state of the art methods are always here. if a new exploit is found and developed into a way to install cfw, it'll be here first. it always has the newest information

i wouldn't trust any other guide you see online, god only knows how out of date it is

now i just need a microsd card bigger than (checks) 32gb. y'know, to hold all the legitimate homebrew software
