I have theories as to how it could be hacked, but I hope it'll be like the Wii homebrew scene.
It will never be like the wii himebrew seen, wii was a real strainer in term of security while 3ds have encryption and more locks, adding to that the switch's kernel is similar to the one of the
3ds so switch hacking scene will look more like 3ds hacking one but whitout a9lh

I really want to see the Switch hacked so modders can mod the flying **** outta Switch games, anything from uncensoring Treehouse bull**** to undubbing games with no dual audio. But I hope that ability will come later, like 1-2 years later, since that can open the door to piracy and hurt the Switch a lot.

I am excited at how nintendo have hinted at the virtual console stuff, I'm sure I read some articles recently stating that they will release VC titles with online stuff, I'm picturing mario kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Golf 64, etc with Nintendo network play... ...well, a guy can dream

Think we can run steam games like the PS4 can?
No it won't happen or at least not with decent framerate, the ps4 is more PC like
the switch is ARM based and on top of that use uncompatible hardware
So you won't be able to launch any steam game apart from the ARM one if they have tose

Not all too likely. We would see Moonlight before native play. I believe The PS4 has an x86 based processor which allowed that to happen. The switch, I believe is based on ARM. So the likelihood isn't all there. Dont know for sure..

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
