This morning my Switch was banned (most likely because of leftover tickets from a dumb pirating mistake I did back in 2018), however my Nintendo Account seems to not have been affected as I can still log into it on my PC, use the mobile apps, get platinum points on My Nintendo, etc. I know I can unlink the Nintendo Account from my PC through the Nintendo website once a year, and then log on to a new Switch and reinstall everything, but my question is, are my save files that are on the cloud safe? My NSO subscription doesn't expire until January, and even then I have the option to extend it through the Nintendo website. (I'm also assuming that Save Data wont backup anymore on the banned console, so I'm SOL on trying to play anything currently and transferring the new data)

get a new not banned modded switch, then transfer saves to it from banned one.

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
