did you know - the nintendo switch 1 has an accessory called the "flip grip" that allows you to use it when rotated vertically - the nintendo switch 1 has an active modding community which has ported ubuntu and fedora to it - if your switch was made before 2019 it has a hardware vulnerability that makes it extremely easy to install these mods. - these mods only exist in memory and on the sd card, so at any point you can just reboot your switch and it will go back to its unmodded state. - MelonDS is cool :) #videogames #emulation #modding

@nycki@critters.gay Ooh, thanks for pointing this out - I just checked my Switch 1, and it's an unpatched version, should be vulnerable to RCM and fusee. Going to print the adapter to do the boot and see if I can get Linux on it!

@nycki@critters.gay I have a flip grip and used it once for a tate mode shooter, never thought to do DS emulation with it! Very cool
