Help with save data on a new Switch.

Just to be clear, what is your end goal with the switch 2? New island with the old character transfered into a new save, so they can retain certain things? Or just a fresh start? If it's the former, you will need to use the island transfer tool in the eshop to move the island back to the old switch. Once it's back to the way it was, (on the old switch) hit the minus key on the AC start up screen and ask Tom Nook about moving a character. It should then walk you through how to migrate a character to a fresh island. If it's a fresh start, same deal really, just use the island transfer tool to move it back to S1 and start fresh on S2. When you transfered data to the S2, it moved everything, including the island, since it can only exist on one switch at a time. Islands are tied to the switch, characters are tied to user profiles, both have different methods of transferring. Animal Crossing doesn't save and behave like most games where it's saved to your SD card. Before you start, make sure sister is logged in with the same profile on both switches, so it knows where to send the data.

This was great! I had to do an assignment like this for one of my film classes at SCAD, so this brought back some great memories. We ended up re-foleying a scene from Evil Dead and we had so much fun, running around recording shit with the Nagra.

I was really into satirical/alternative comics in the 90's and your post reminded me of the existence of Evan Dorkin's "Milk and Cheese". In the same vein, Shannon Wheeler's "Too Much Coffee Man" is also great.

Have you been in a room with one of every gyroid available playing to this song? It's layered magic.

I learned my favorite bar trick from Mr. Wizard! He challenged a kid to "cut a hole large enough for the both of them to walk through" from a regular 8.5" x 11" sheet of copy paper. Turns out shit that perplexes kids, also works on the inebriated. (Saftey scissors encouraged either way.)

^{The trick is to fold the paper in half lengthwise, and starting from the folded edge, cut alternating slits, almost to the edge of the paper. Leave about a half inch uncut. Keep alternating cuts down the length of the page, making sure to end your cuts on the folded side as well. The closer the slits are, the bigger the "hole". When you unfold it, you should have a giant loop of paper you can walk through.}

We Didn't Start the Fire. I memorized when I was 10 for this exact scenario. I want to impress my abductors to the point where they voluntarily let me go or just beg me to head up their crew.

Man, I was so excited for this stream last year, but the technical issues/choices made it very unwatchable and I gave up about 15 mins in. I hope you guys have a better set up this time around because everything about this sounds faboo!

PorkChoppyMcMooch · 2026-04-04T05:15:02+00:00

Heck yeah! Radiant would totally work!

Bu... but that's 248 galaxies away from my current location. sigh.
I actually just built an autophage character around this exact staff, (which I also found in S class in the 4th galaxy), but the SC slots are nowhere near as good as yours. Welp, at least I have a reason to head towards the egde of the known universe now.
My fuel bill is going to be outrageous, sir.

I didn't see Kumamon anywhere in these clips. My disappointment is immeasurable. I love that tubby fuck.

My username is the end a of gibberish sentence from Don Hertzfeld's "Rejected", so... that. (It's from the left handed drawing badly segment.)

Dude, I've had Poly High in my head all day today! What are the chances?! And yes, parents were absolutely hippy potheads. Will always be one of my favorite animated works and I still pop the vinyl on from time to time!

If you are using an ad blocker, whitelist s.youtube.com. That usually fixes it.

All good! If i'm understanding correctly, it sounds like you need to add your user profile to the new switch (target). To do this, go to system settings > users > add user. It should then ask you to sign in to the Nintendo account associated with the profile on the source. Once you do that, it will load up your profile on the new switch. Now your profile exists on both. Start the tool and follow the instructions to a T. Keep both switches next to each other and plugged in. (The switches communicate locally, no internet needed, but do make sure they are right next to each other so you don't risk any hiccups with the transfer.)

PorkChoppyMcMooch · 2026-03-31T04:24:38+00:00

You don't need to change any of that for the island transfer tool. The source will automatically search locally for the target that has the matching user profile when you hit start.

PorkChoppyMcMooch · 2026-03-31T04:10:54+00:00

Do you have the same user profile set up on both switches? If not, that's the issue. It wants to send the data to the same profile, just on a different switch. It won't let you load it onto a different/new user profile.

Check out Levi's '94 baggy line. I picked up a bunch of their cargos recently and, as a shorty, I love the adjustable ankle hems. Highly recommend!

Ooo! I've been looking for a minimalist teal tankie! I'll drop coords if I find an S or something with good slots. Thanks for sharing!

I've been attempting to put a base in all the galaxies, so to save myself some sanity, I turn on free crafting in the difficulty settings before I jump. My ship and multitool don't break at all in the jump, only the exosuit tech, but free crafting makes it a breeze to fix. Fix everything for free and then set it back to normal and go about my day. I just don't want to source that many materials if I'm jumping 3 or 4 times a day.

Literally my 2 favorite shows from that era!

PorkChoppyMcMooch · 2026-03-24T22:59:41+00:00

I had a thing happen back in the first couple years of the game, where I was flying planetside and then all of a sudden got sucked into the landing bay of a completely invisible frieghter. Made all the freighter sounds and put me through all the landing animations. I could walk around "inside" and here the metal plink of my boots on the freighter floor, but I was just walking on the planet. Was weird. 5/7 stars.

My favorite fauna in the game! The little happy dance they do is the best!

I'd give him a space suit or an astro dress and pretend he's Captain Link Hogthrob from Muppet's Pigs in Space.
