  • First guy is saying, “there’s no point in trying to figure out the “answer to the universe”, it’s a lot easier to be happy if you just go with the flow”.

    This leads the reader to assume that he’s got it all figured out and is a relatively happy guy, an assumption that is subverted when asked plainly, “are you happy?”

    I don’t know that there’s a specific take away here, so much as it just being a funny quip in a larger exchange.














  • I also learned that you can copy a video link and paste it into VLC media player and it will play!

    You can also use this trick to download YouTube videos without the need of a 3rd party website!

    1. Copy the URL of the YouTube video you wanna download

    2. VLC / Media / Open network stream… And paste your URL

    3. Once the video has opened, Tools / Media Information

    4. Copy the URL in the “Location” field and paste it into your web browser, you should have the option to save the video

    It’s a couple of steps but once you memorize what you need to do it’s a million times faster (and I’d wager equally times as private) than finding one of those websites to give you a link.




  • Others have already given you good answers so I’ll weigh in on the emunand / not getting banned thing.

    I spent a long time trying to get the emunand set up and working on my switch but kept hitting some sort of error (it was almost a year ago so I don’t remember specifically what the issue was). After a while of trying I realized that I was trying to avoid getting banned from an online service I never once used and never planned to use, and now I just use the switch in airplane mode. I’ve read that the system keeps a log of what’s been done and will upload it to Nintendo if it ever reconnects, at which point I very well may be banned, but I don’t really care enough. Being in airplane mode makes sure the switch can’t try to auto update itself as well.
