So my micro sd card snapped, it's toast. I can get the system to boot up just find and was able to put basic luma+godmode on the boot, so I can see that stuff. But what should I do to truly restart?

Restore your lastest SD backup to a new FAT32 formatted and checked (h2testw or F3) SD card.
Thanks. Unfortunately I basically have to start from scratch. Ordered a new 128gb card that'll arrive today. Damn, my poor gb and gba game saves lol. Fortunately the only 3 shiny pokemon I ever found in my life (all last year) was on a soul silver cartridge

Damn, how the hell did you snap an SD card in half? I suppose if it’s a micro it’s quite fragile but still.
Well my super stable 3d isn't functioning at all and opened the back to see if there was any obvious cables no longer plugged in, loose ribbons, etc. When I went to put it back the part covering the sd slot was just a smidge over-covered. When I applied pressure it snapped the tip of the sd card somehow. It could no longer be read on the pc or startup the 3ds lol

Ouch, that’s unfortunate! My condolences.

Hope you have backup of your data.

I had it worse actually, got half of a sd card stuck inside a steam deck motherboard before, with the sd card slot end up not usable anymore.
Damn, no way to get it out with like tape or something? What happened to the system?

Have had the same some years ago and I never figured out how and why it happened:

Yeah, like the full Titanic snap-in-half issue didn't happen until I tried putting it in and out of my PC, then it fully died

    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

    FNF was born from Game Jams
