I would have said Teletoon is a no-brainer to put it on, but they're owned by Corus/Shaw. I'm so out of the cable game I didn't even realize Teletoon had been retired as a brand and replaced with Cartoon Network.

I went to go looking at the Bell Media offerings and you're right, they simply do not have any kind of kids channel. Both YTV and Cartoon Network are owned by Shaw. They likely just don't want to try to compete in this space, since Shaw would have the rights to basically everything worth airing and streaming.

~~Whatever happened to Shomi? Wasn't that Shaw and Rogers' streaming service?~~ Rogers acquired Shaw a few years back and have the rights to all that stuff now I guess. They put it on StackTV and sell it through Amazon.

I remember it being one of my favored chosen out of the plethora of random third party devices I had laying around. This was a step above Mad Catz for sure, but definitely still below the original controllers.

This is a Nyko Air Flow controller. I had one for the original Xbox. It was supposed to keep you from sweating during long sessions of gameplay, because it was ventilated and had a fan on the back. To be honest, I don't remember it being excellent at keeping you cool. I think the fan was pretty lousy, but it was a great gimmick none the less.

I had a lot of weird controllers back then. Some good, some bad. Most of them Mad Catz.

Number one reason right here.

I have gotten Your Phone to work maybe a half a dozen times. KDE Connect just works, full stop.

Given the fact that it's almost a foregone conclusion that PP is going to win the next election, I think countering disinformation through "influencers" did not work.

Hello, yes, I'd like to use my fingerprint sensor please.

I just don't get what the purpose is though. You've lost access to the proprietary primary library, which was the original reason to buy a Switch. If you want an emulation console there are cheaper alternatives as well other than the Deck, I was just using it as the de facto standard handheld.

There's no benefit to nuking the OS and replacing it on a Switch. At least with something like a ROG Ally, you can make the argument that flipping over to Linux would make the handheld more performant and energy efficient. That cannot be said about flashing Lineage onto a Switch which functionally makes the system considerably less useful.

The Switch OS is already optimized and designed for the hardware. It's as good as you're going to get, and it's also already Linux. I would much rather suggest cracking it to put custom firmware on the device based on the Switch OS; you would get more use out of the device because it could still play the games and be rigged to emulate the older ones.

It's cool Lineage did this or whatever but it's kind of a pointless and weird flex.

Why would you want to, though?

It's not like the Switch is a powerhouse; you're better off just buying a Deck and emulating.

You can check the md5 hash checksum provided by Microsoft to verify the authenticity. Massgrave gets it from Microsoft, it's a legit ISO just rehosted.

Sure, the fanservice can be a lot.

My main thing is just that it's clear how much McMahan loves the source material and it's great how he can operate within the parameters of the universe with reverence despite being jocular.

I dunno man, LD is like half fan service and half universe building, and it's my favorite thing they've produced in the last decade and a half.

Can we just get Mike McMahan in charge of everything, please?

SNW rocks. I'll follow Pike and the crew anywhere.
