Yeah not surprised to hear that people are bricking their Switch 2 systems from this especially considering it was brute force via vibe code. Seriously people, jailbreaking your Switch 2 right now just isn't worth it unless you don't mind potentially getting stuck with a 500+ dollar paperweight.
It's also worth noting that the current method to rip the data is incredibly risky and has shown to brick some consoles already, since it's the hack equivalent of sledgehammering a window to barge into a house.
It being developed by AI sucks, but it goes beyond the usual ethics about AI usage.
For the best really especially knowing Nintendo is likely gonna be dropping the nuke hammer big time on the people responsible for the Switch 2 jailbreak exploit.
Just a heads up; lots of discussion online regarding Switch 2 reverse engineering. Data is cropping up, and models are being converted - however, we won't be accepting contributions for Switch 2 titles at this time.
This may be disappointing to some, but it's self preservation.
I mean FFS Robot Chicken parodies even at their most shock value still manage to be 100x more funnier than the public domain horror slop garbage people insist on spitting out nowadays
What makes the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown sketch on Robot Chicken funny is how it manages to stay true to the Peanuts universe while recontextualizing the characters into a horror setting in a way that makes sense

Someone made a Blender plugin that makes Blender look/behave exactly like Maya, and holy cow it really does look/behave exactly like Maya.
This is awesome for people like me who have like 15+ years of Maya baked into muscle memory.

Flavio is learning the hard way that Donald does not care for anyone other than himself and will happily throw you to the wolves the moment you have worn out your usefulness to him
BREAKING WaPo:
Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.
Flávio Bolsonaro has been banned from leaving Brazil and ordered to surrender his passports following his presidential election defeat, amid investigations into suspected influence-peddling, money laundering and other alleged financial irregularities.
Not only is Video Game Esoterica (@videogameesoterica.bsky.social) so asleep at the wheel that he's peddling ports with malware in them now, but when called out on that he decides to try and play Internet Tough Guy... then backpedals into "haha you mad 😂" shit.
Truly a blight on retro gaming.
The Super Mario Galaxy PC port (Nebula, not AstroCore) has gotten a bunch of updates and is now ready to talk about! Because why not more Mario youtu.be/WG1TfYQu7vs#gaming#gamingnews#retrogames
Watched the new MST3K. It's good! Right around Deadly Bees or Gorgo in quality. Not in my top 10, but extremely solid! My biggest worry going in was that it would just be a Rifftrax except with Shadowrama, but it's not that at all. It really feels like Sci-Fi era MST3K, and that's what's important.
Nintendo's next financial update is next week on November 5th.
Since this covers July 1st through September 30th, sales for Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave are included.
Eiji Aonuma with his Order of Arts and Letters medal that he received in France!
For almost his entire professional career he has worked on Zelda games.
The Zelda series is as well regarded now as it was 25+ years ago, in part, due to his leadership.

I felt strongly already in 2024, in a way that I could not fully rationally articulate even to myself, that the global far-right tide which had begun in 2015-2016 was far closer to its end than its beginning. In 2026, I believe we have definitive proof of its ebb. Slow, uneven, but clear.
"…Epstein immediately approached her saying 'I’m Jeffrey, Don’s best friend.' Epstein then spent at least 10 minutes talking to Keul, all the time looking over and grinning at Trump…
Epstein also made similar promises as Trump…'You know I can take care of you. We organize many parties with Don.'"
Well, crap. Fortune's Weave got hit by the datamine, too.
Those who want to learn what to expect from the DLC's story expansion, steer clear and wait until early next year to find out.

Hoo boy... the Switch 2 Jailbreak has unfortunately reached a point where main IPs are getting leaked, because Pokopia's DLC 2 Pokemon lineup has likely been revealed.
Better steer clear of certain websites reporting on this, y'all.
Some ground rules that have helped us:
- Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels
- Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.)
- Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories
- Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing
- IGNORE THEM
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Much of the problems with AI right now aren't so much the tech itself but the way its implemented and used. If the people pushing AI had kept their focus on the avenues where it made the most sense and not tried to use it as an easy "replace people" button the backlash would be far less severe.
This is something I have been talking about for the longest time. The real danger for Republicans isn't simply more Dems turning out, its the squishy moderate R voters crossing the aisle to punish Trump which is what a lot of polls are likely missing
I am assuming he must have ran into some pretty bad health complications to depart at that age. A painful reminder to always treasure life because you never really know when your time will come. May Eric rest in peace
Heck I have seen people proclaiming the shit Flavio and his bootlickers pulled is a harbinger for November 3rd in the US even though US elections are a far cry from Brazils.
Literally 3 hours ago I was reading posts saying Bolsanaro was a 110% lock because look at all the voter suppression he had going for him, and how this was a preview of 2028 here in America. Real heads remember the dark times of 180 minutes ago.
Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
I’d say Trump isn’t as good at influencing foreign elections as Putin, but I dunno, the Serbia results are a huge defeat for Putin.
He’s lost both Orban & Vucic in a year.
See? There is no secret “defeat fascism once and for all” belief system.
You just do the work, every election. Far left, center left, it doesn’t matter.
Learn the lesson: Stop pretending you’re special and just fucking vote for Democrats.
Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called.
An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
