    Let’s get one thing straight: the Switch 2 isn’t fully jailbroken.

    Piracy and emulation is inevitable, although we’ll see if it’s months or years. I’m boycotting Nintendo over their legal practices, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to play their games. It’ll be extra juicy to be able to emulate it eventually, although buying used is technically an option too.

      It still brings a smile to my face every time I play Mario Kart 8 on my Linux desktop using a PS5 controller.

      I pay for games where I think money will get to the creators that deserve it, but Nintendo only gets my most sincere disdain.

    all this means to me is hopefully I’ll be able to emulate the new Dankey Kang game on my desktop 💃🏻
