Though I don't understand your point about being offline. If you are using the current primary / secondary console, then you can't play on secondary console unless you are online, right?

I could have explained better. My docked Switch is set as secondary console, which forces online checks. That's fine because I never take it outside. My Switch Lite is set as primary console, which means it (used to be) able to play any downloaded games, no questions asked – if the connectivity check fails, it will just warn you that your cloud save status couldn't be verified.

Say I have a virtual game card of Suika Game loaded in my docked Switch. I now need to leave home, so I close the game and bring my Switch Lite with me which has Suika Game downloaded. During lunch at work, I open my Switch Lite and start up the game. That used to be fine, but now there's instead a prompt to move the virtual game card from my docked Switch at home to this one, which I can't do because I don't have internet at work. I forgot my digital copy of Suika Game at home even though it's downloaded on the console I'm holding.

This is a hypothetical example, and sorry for the wall of text, but it's a needlessly complicated system that is a net negative for the user.

I got chat restricted in Overwatch once, and when checking the logs they give you as to the reason, there was a chat between two other teammates, and me just saying "Zenyatta can't heal himself."

I can fix her.

Gaming PC: GNOME (it works fine and I don't care about much else there)

Laptop: dwl (dwm for Wayland) and suckless tools. Ultra lightweight and comfy for browsing and watching videos. Usually at the same time.

I got back into it about a month ago, picking up from where I left off in 2019. I'm playing the stories and maps in chronological order, and because there's loads of incentives to go do stuff or collect things in older maps, there's been people around the entire time. People have been super-duper helpful to me anytime I mention that I'm a returning player. Lovely game, lovely community.

I introduced a friend to Earthbound and we played it together on the SNES app. It was nice because I could watch them play and point my cursor to things, and even take the controls from time to time. It's not a bad way to play games but I have better options for playing retro alone.

Oh no. Suika made my top 3

Team Fortress 2

I've been using NewPipe exclusively for about 4 years now and I'm very, very happy with it. I take background audio playback, downloading, adblocking, sponsorblocking et.c. for granted now and often forget how crippled the vanilla YouTube experience is.

I'm too young and missed out on its release, but I've played some P99 and man EverQuest must have been an absolutely magical experience in 1999.

I really, really hate this trend of not localizing titles that presumably sound cool in Japanese, but are just like ??? in English. Various Daylife is the worst offender I've seen so far 💀

Automaton Lung is fantastic. It came out right at the tail-end of the eShop's life.
