This entire Switch disaster has a recipe for a perfect horrible failure. The Switch does not allow you to backup saves to SD or cloud and worked fine with most 3rd party devices until now. A new update from a few days ago causes the system to brick when attached to any number of things (power bricks, unofficial docks, USB-C cables) and we have no details or full list of things that can completely destroy everything.

People have over a year of saves that are often completely unrecoverable because the Switch masqueraded as a true USB-C device. Now Switches are breaking because the peripherals people attach assume the Switch…does what it implies. That it works with USB-C and is a USB-C compliant device. The Switch is actually just a Nintendo device with a port shaped like USB-C.

I love Nintendo and have forever and risked my health and safety to purchase this product on launch and will play Nintendo until I die but YIKES

Switches have been bricking widespread for the past few days. Prevent this by ONLY charging using the Nintendo official charger, and ONLY docking using the official Switch dock.

Warn folks you know before it is too late.

tldr;
 dont use the fucking nyko dock (or any 3rd party dock) and just use the Nintendo brand power chord/dock

a lot of official switch accessories are on sale for this reason so if you do have a third party charger or just a cheap usb c dont fucking use it until they fix this

💕please help💕

i have been in a bad financial situation for a while now. im living out of my car, and today i was fired from my job i had just gotten because i didn’t have a ride or money to put gas into my car. im currently stranded off in the emergency lane of the interstate, with no money, no food or water. I would call my insurance but it got cancelled because once again, I’m literally destitute. And to top it all off, I lost my job because of my homelessness. I’m giving up hope. I don’t feel like I have a chance left anymore.

If you’d like to help me out so I can get off the interstate and maybe actually eat today, that would be a fucking blessing.

*I’m willing to sell nudes for money for food.

Guys. Please, the situation I’m in is getting to be fucking scary. I was able to get off the interstate but I have two tickets from the police for my time being there because I was stuck for so long. My phone bill is due soon, I can’t pay for it because I was fired from the job I had because I had no money for gas. If I don’t have a phone I can’t find help in my local area. I won’t be able to find local pantries or emergency services. I will die. I will literally die. I have a yeast infection I can’t afford to treat. I’m also on my period, and I can’t afford hygienic products so I have had to use socks as makeshift pads.

I’m literally fucking begging you if you can help me please, please, I genuinely need the help

Kickstarting Braille RPG dice

Emily writes, “64oz Games is working once again to improve Braille accessibility in popular board games, this time in tabletop RPGs. This kickstarter will allow them to purchase a high resolution 3d printer to produce a polyhedral die set (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20 & Percentile) with Braille as well as print numbers. This will also allow them to continue to produce high quality Braille teaching materials that improve Braille literacy world wide.”

There’s more to this than just putting Braille glyphs on the dice – they have to remain balanced! $10 gets you one die, $50 gets you a whole set. The rewards are danged cool, too, including Braille dice earrings!

signal boost!

Reblogging with link to actual kickstarter.  It ends on November 25th.

The project was successfully funded. Their shop now sells the braille dice as well as accessibility kits for other popular games here!

Got our final eviction notice hand delivered by the sheriff this morning. We have approximately 18 hours to pack our things and leave the house, and we have nowhere to go, nor any money even if we had a place to stay.

Please. If anyone can spare some money (PayPal is neytirijade91@gmail.com) or knows of a place in Florida– ANYWHERE in Florida– that I could stay for maybe a week with my uncle and two small animals, I would be beyond appreciative.

Thank you all in advance. After we’re evicted, we will probably be sleeping in a tent in the nearby free campsite so I won’t get WiFi l, but I will be biking down to the closest McDonald’s or whatever other store or public place with WiFi. I’ll be in touch until then and as much as possible after we go to the campground.

if you know any muslims in the uk or north america please please tell them to be careful on april 3rd there’s this awful “punish a muslim” day that these vile assholes have planned. it could be a sick hoax but it’s better to be prepared and stay vigilant just in case

What?? What’s the hell?!?!

The UK Counter Terrism force is asking anyone who recieves a letter like this to perserve it as well as they can and hand it over to the athorities so that they can try and find out who’s doing this. I don’t think that as of right now anyone in the US or Canada has been recieving them, they appear to have only been sent to 6 areas in England, however if you are in the US or Canada and you do recieve a letter like this DO turn it into the authorities because even if this is a hoax people might still decide to participate in this gross act.

Here is an article from the BBC, explaining a bit more.

this is seriously disgusting. signal boosting for any of my muslim followers 

Absolute sick fucks, how people can be this insidious baffles me. Ngl I’m really worried about my other half and his family.
