I'm trying to get my hands on a n3dsxl, and I've been wondering how common it is to replace the shells on them. I can't find a ton of custom options online, but I'd love to do something like the textured hylian shield shell Nintendo did for the n2dsXL.

If not that, than at least something other than the plain colors they came in. Sure Nintendo did a lot of special edition releases but since I'm already burning a hole in my pocket trying to get a n3dsxl in half decent condition, buying one with the Hylian Gold or Super Famicom (or any other special edition for that matter) shell is out of the question.

With 3ds/2ds prices still through the fucking roof, I have been looking at some Japanese models, since their price tags are slightly less crippling to look at. Unfortunately, I can't speak Japanese, and I haven't regularly used a 3ds since the release.of NSMB2, so id like to have it in English so I can navigate without googling everytime I need to get inside the settings. The issue is, this used to lock you out of a bunch of online features. My question is: with the end of online communication/gameplay, is this still something I need to worry about? I know game updates are normally gotten from the eShop, but is it possible to download the updates manually from something like hShop? What about software updates? (Do I need to install software updates at all since all they seem to do is try to break homebrew?)

I had the 8bitduo Ultimate and I loved it, though it was a little awkward to hold at first as I was more used to the slanted handle design of an Xbox controller. Unfortunately, I think I must have left it somewhere in public leading to it being stolen, as I haven't seen it in a few months in spite of constantly looking for it. (Fucking ADHD, man) I was also already in the market for a second one as I have a younger sibling who enjoys playing with me, and her current controller isn't winning any awards (powerA). I also wouldn't mind something more comfortable to use in handheld mode. I had a Hori Split Pad pro, but I did not like it at all. The controllers felt cheap and hollow, they drained the switch's already poor battery life even faster, and one half quit working after like a month.

With that out of the way, I've looked at a few options:

I could get another 8bitduo Ultimate, and I definitely might, but I'm curious if there are other, more comfortable options available.

I've looked at the Gulikit King Kong 2 (and 2 pro) controllers, and they seem great on paper, but I've read a lot of reviews claiming they're prone to hardware failure in some form or another.

Lastly, I've seen a lot on the Nyxi Wizard. It's newer, so I don't know that there's any long-term reviews available, and I don't know how comfortable the GameCube layout is for most games, but I've read that in terms of quality it seems great, plus it has the benefit of being a joycon substitute.

Last lastly: Another thing I want to consider is whether I should get a joycon substitute, or get a console mount for a pro controller. I've heard a lot of good things about the Fixture S2 (i have an OLED) but I've also read that it tends to break with extended use.

This is a debate, not an argument, let's be adults about this. [Insert political joke]

I always think of small communities id like to be a part of, but can never find any. Reddit had (has) the same issue, leading people to create subreddits around the idea of helping others find communities to fit their interests. Idk thought it would be cool but I don't have the capabilities to do it myself.

I'm not just talking cruelty in terms of their goals, but also how they went about achieving their goals

I've been on a mini quest to try and get my Twitter account banned without doing anything strictly against the ToS and my first idea was to start messing with people who say something completely untrue, then refuse to back down under any circumstances. But that got me thinking, is it okay? I'm not outright insulting/cyber bullying them, more just arguing with them with a little bit of sarcasm.

Definitely not the right place for this, but I'm yet to find the right place. I need an SSD/HDD that can store about 10 years worth of family photo and video. I was looking at that Samsung rugged SSD, but it's a little above my price range right now. I'e like to have at least a terabyte for future photos so I don't have to worry about this again for a while. Any reliable options?
