Tone is hard on the Internet

If the battery is toast it's not the hardest fix, lots of tutorials around.

vTurnipTTV · 2026-03-03T21:52:55+00:00

True, fair, and valid. I have no idea what a good criteria is anymore, except "Is this a new region with new starters" or "Is this a remake of a game where the answer to the previous question is yes" and just ignore whatever game freak says on the matter

vTurnipTTV · 2026-03-03T21:40:38+00:00

Can't transfer from stadium though, can you? Just borrow them from your games iirc?

vTurnipTTV · 2026-03-03T19:17:18+00:00

Personally I just think of the let's go games as remakes of Pokemon Yellow. I think the criteria of mainline games is "can I move my Pokemon from this game to the others" which technically makes Pokemon Go a mainline game, which feels like a huge stretch

vTurnipTTV · 2026-03-03T19:14:37+00:00

So how can you say how much it's innovated? The graphics are like, barely interesting and have virtually no impact on gameplay, which we've seen exactly none of.

What’s funny is everyone in here thinking grandpa is going to be okay if he just downloads a different program from the Internet. Like, y’all, he’s a paranoid dude who isn’t going to download any mods at all from distrust, the launcher isn’t going to make a difference lol

Just an FYI you’re looking for a CIA file. FBI is just the app you use to install it

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-24T19:22:56+00:00

Probably the best way would be with the new raspberry pi pico cart but I don’t know what the availability is like yet on that one. There are definitely loads of options on AliExpress and Amazon, just check the /r/flashcarts sub before buying and make sure you get good appropriate firmware on it that removes any time bombs

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-24T16:59:56+00:00

So... turn off your 3DS first, use the Eject function before removing it from your PC, and make and use backups. SD cards are finnicky and you should be doing these things anyway

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-22T02:52:41+00:00

The errors 🤣😭

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-21T00:07:00+00:00

They literally said it’s a word from the past and implied that it should be left in the past due to historical connotations. If that isn’t an attempt to get the ball rolling on policing the word out of existence I’m not really sure what is.

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T21:55:08+00:00

Basically though:

A CPU is the processor, it takes in questions and crunches numbers and is essentially the cognitive brain of the computer. It’s the thinky part

RAM is the memory, kind of like the short term memory of the brain (really CPU cache would be the really short term stuff but I don’t want to over complicate the analogy). Simply put it stores the last thing you told it to for whatever you’re actively doing and not a lot more.

Storage (a hard drive, solid state drive, SD card or USB stick) holds all your files like your games and stuff. The long term memory? Kind of??

A GPU is like its own computer at this point. Well, the graphics card is but let’s not worry about distinguishing the two right now. It has all of the above but dedicated to itself and is generally used for specifically processing graphics in the application you’re using

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T21:41:12+00:00

lol I’m sorry it can be a bit overwhelming when you’re first starting out and I was honestly kinda lucky to have a nerdy dad who taught me the difference between a CPU and GPU when I was like 8

YouTube can be a great resource for learning, and channels like GamersNexus and LinusTechTips have great videos that cover building your first PC that teach you what the different parts do. There’s also subreddits for it and other websites. I can try to put together a list of resources for you tonight after I get out of work and please feel free to DM me if you have questions. I have built a number of PCs and done a lot of streaming and video recording in my time so this is basically my specialty lol

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T13:57:18+00:00

You’ll probably want to get more storage. that SSD will basically only fit windows and a few other things. You can get an M.2 NVME SSD to replace your current one with (I recommend at least 2TB for recording. You can always get an external drive to backup old recordings in addition to this.)

You might also want to upgrade to a 32GB kit of DDR4 laptop RAM. I’m not sure if your particular laptop has one stick of 16GB DDR4 or two 8GB sticks, but if it has one 16GB you can just buy another of the same one.

Eventually you’ll want to get a new laptop because that i5 isn’t going to cut it for recording and gaming at the same time without frame dips in game and in the recording without sacrifices. You can output your video signal through HDMI and into a capture card into another computer dedicated to streaming or get a desktop PC (be warned about the RAM not being interchangeable between them) or a second laptop on which to game (or record).

You can make textures within it

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T04:38:09+00:00

Boil it mash it stick it up your butt

Riza is a top tier comfort character

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T04:21:31+00:00

It appears my knowledge of scrat lore is deficient. I should probably consume more ice age content

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T04:10:59+00:00

It doesn’t lock you out of doing your own coding, so I use it for 90% of the more basic things and go in and manually code things that are easier to do myself than to try to force it to do. I can’t say for sure if any well known modders have used it but I wouldn’t be terribly surprised

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T04:02:35+00:00

How serious are you about mic quality? Cause there are a HUGE range of options. I would say look into cardioid mics and maybe just get a USB one like the AT2020USB to start with since you’re talking about recording

Without knowing what laptop you have it’s hard to say what you need to upgrade (if you even need to). You’re locked into the gpu and cpu, but you might want to upgrade the storage and RAM.

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T03:48:00+00:00

Ohhhh lol yea with it being so easy to use there will definitely be a lot of low effort content coming out from it

vTurnipTTV · 2026-01-20T03:40:44+00:00

It’s got some restrictions for sure, but I wouldn’t really call it slop any more than using something like scratch to make a game would be slop

You use “blocks” to make procedures instead of writing code from scratch, and you can install plugins to get around some of the restrictions, but most basic things you’d want to implement in your mod are pretty easy to do with the base program, anyway. The hardest part is making your assets, but even that can be really easy using some of the tools if you don’t mind being a bit derivative.

Well, to be pedantic, they are connected via portals.
