Do you have a way to copy the data to a PC first? Copy data, put new card in phone, format card, copy data back to phone with new card in it

I'd like to remind everyone that it's the traditional, artisanal craftsmanship of Celtic Blue Jeans™ that gives you the great fit and durability you associate with the very best blue jeans. Don't buy the mass-manufactured, sweatshop-produced brands that are rapidly eroding consumer expectations of quality.
When all that's left is inferior product, perhaps the world will step back and wonder if voting in extraordinary powers to Polynesia and engaging with them in free trade was the best idea.


I may have been screenshotting the culture overview page for a while.
Re: Paging Drasnor......
I make a living exploiting the things you can do with an Earth that's not flat. The fact of the matter though is that it's not round either; it's lumpy and oblong and has these dense parts and floppy parts and the whole mess is just about as not-flat as things can be. Did you know that gravity is not constant? Not only does gravity vary geographically:

but it also varies over time, both on a 12-hr cycle tracking the tides and on a 5.9 year cycle tracking the variation of Earth's rotational rate. It's very inconvenient.

Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly codenamed NX) and mobile gaming
They have more basic info on the "Online Service" out now. From the looks of it, it's modeled after Xbox Gold and PS Plus.
Subscribing to the service gets you:
Online gameplay
Online Lobby & Voice Chat app
Our new dedicated smart device app will connect to Nintendo Switch and let you invite friends to play online, set play appointments, and chat with friends during online matches in compatible games─all from your smart device. A free, limited version of this app will be available for download in summer 2017.
Monthly game download - Currently NES and SNES games. Some with online functionality.
Exclusive deals
No price yet.
A free trial of this service will begin in March and lasts until sometime in Fall 2017. The app won't be available until Summer.
The friend system is the same one that the WiiU currently uses. Which is Nintendo Network ID and not friend codes.

So, like, can one of these things play 2p games? What happens for 4p? Can you even do 4p?
They've highlighted a couple multiplayer stuff.
1 2 Switch - Is a party game that only uses the Joycon. Players face each other and react accordingly to what the game instructs them. main example they showed was a quick draw minigame.
Ultra Street Fighter 2 - Is 2 player versus and co-op. Includes online versus.
Mariokart 8 Deluxe - Can have up to 4 splitscreen on one console and can connect up to 8 consoles (1 player per console).
ARMS - 2 play splitscreen was shown.
Snipperclips - A nifty co-op puzzle game. Goes up to 4 player same screen if I understood them right.
So I'm guessing it's just up to the discretion of the developer on what would be appropriate for the game in certain modes. Like 4 player splitscreen when it's undocked is possible but just not gonna work out.

NAKED KIDS WITH BRAIN TUMORS PART DEUX!
Ha ha! Now that you're reading this because you're kind of a sick %$#%, I'm here asking for donations. Straight up.
A couple of years ago, Me, Benson, and Brian's sister Emily all ran around Detroit in our underwear to raise money for sick kids who can't read good. Well, maybe they can read good, I don't actually know. All I know is that they are sick, and need your cash dollars, and for some reason me running around in my underwear will raise cash dollars for these sick kids.
TLDR: Send money to help sick kids here: https://my.cupids.org/PinkInDetroit
If I make my goal, I might actually put some clothes on to spare you all. If I don't make my goal...I'm running around half naked in February. However, if you'd rather me flip flop those decisions, let me know. Whatever it takes for me to get your money, and give it to these damn kids.
THANKS.
