  • I am the legal target audience. I have a PC that I use at home for most games and a switch that I use for flights and business trips. I buy most games on physical karts because I prefer them to digital and buying used games on eBay is half as expensive as the eShop. Having 3-4 games on a single chip would be much more convenient than carrying several games with me.

    Also I bought it in ~2018. In 2018 there were no other good portable game systems at a reasonable price point. There are a lot of good Nintendo exclusive games series out there. Yes there are modern portable systems that can emulate the switch but I’m not going to buy a new system to emulate something I already own.

    It seems like this will be able to play modified games too. I would love to try out some custom games on my switch.

    The piracy option is also nice but I could almost justify the kart without that.



  • You can build a dedicated NAS fairly inexpensively. If you have an old computer you don’t use anymore that’s a great starting point. I was able to find a micro optiplex at my local used computer store for $99 and it runs great. I originally had it running on a raspberry pi 3 but was having power management issues and needed something a little more powerful.

    I would recommend using Samba for your NAS. It’s a free SMB server that lets you access your data on all operating systems. Other Linux computers can mount samba by adding a line to /etc/fstab. On Windows you just go to file explorer and click map network drive.




  • I have a fetch ladle and a coal spoon. My dog lives for fetch but always sets the ball next to my feet. If I’m sitting on the back porch I don’t want to keep bending forward so I have a ladle that’s perfect for scooping up a tennis ball and throwing it. I also have a slotted spoon that I use to grab unburnt coal out of my grill before dumping the ashes. Both of these utensils just hang from my grill.
