It was probably when I bought my Link Between Worlds 3DS XL. I bought physical cartridges for it, but I think I was getting them on Amazon mostly. When I got the switch my whole collection was digital downloads.

ah that stinks, yeah it's not the most comfortable for long sessions. Might be worth checking out emulation and playing with a control method that works better for you. You'll lose the 3D but you'll still get to enjoy some really solid games.

Such a huge fan of what Technology Connections is doing, especially more recently with his "we have the technology to be more efficient already" angle and just under the surface political rage.

I know my prius isn't as good as an EV for most of the driving I do, but it's way better than any other internal combustion system on the market. When my wife's beater kicks the bucket we're definitely replacing it with an EV and keeping the prius for long hauls.

I took my 3DS XL on vacation because I knew I'd be waiting in lots of lines. Dipped in to Tomodachi Life (3DS), made some more progress in Pokémon Omega Ruby, and had some fun with a bunch of arcadey titles like pac-man championship edition and the 3ds version of Dr. Mario. Also took some 3D photos with the 3DS' camera, which I didn't really give much appreciation to back in the day.

Back at home and I've gotten back into the Sims 2 which I'm playing on my Steam deck after tinkering around with a custom control scheme for a while.

 

Started playing builders 1 on Steam Deck and while it's missing a bit of the visual polish of pokopia, it's a lot of fun so far. I didn't play it when it was new but it's definitely scratching a build/craft/explore itch without the decision paralysis of something completely open-ended like Minecraft.

Anyone else playing this for lack of Pokopia?

edit now the link actually goes to what I meant to post, the bunny will have to go here:

My main NAS box was running OpenMediaVault until a failed upgrade left the OS totally borked. Now I'm back up and running on a fresh Debian install, and I've documented everything that I'm running currently to keep it all straight.
