Had something wierd happen today with on of my SD cards.

There's a lot of shenangians going on over here trying to find an SD card for 40GB of data that I simply didn't have any SD cards for. They were either too small (32GB), or FAR too large (512GB). I found a 200GB one I could use and copied the 3DS data to it.

And it promptly failed. The 3DS would not see it, or would see it, but couldn't recognize it. I'd put it in my PC, and the both Linux and Windows could see it just fine: a 200GB SD Card formatted in FAT32.

I had it checked with F3 to see if it was a counterfeit card (I had to deal with a LOT of counterfeits at NOA, where they'd bought a 2TB card (which didn't exist at the time) for $10 (really?) and in reality it was a 2GB card hacked to read 2TB.), and it was a proper 200GB card.

I kind of gave up on it, and put the data on my 400GB card (wasting 90% of it's current capacity), and put the 200GB card in my laptop to format. It also saw the card, but couldn't read it correctly. It was the correct size, but the format was "Unknown."

So I had THAT Linux format it in FAT32, and it recognized it, and so did the 3DS. But why would it work on my PC just fine before?

Don't matter - I've got a 64GB card coming in tomorrow, so I can clean out the larger SD cards and use them in something that could use the space....

There were FOURTEEN Air Bud movies?! IT WAS A FRANCHISE?!

Listen, I love snow as much as the next person, but....really? REALLY?

The main problem I had with 3DS streaming was I couldn't move my games BACK to the old 3DS to stream and had to buy them all over again (thankfully, I ended up only re-purchasing mostly cheapie virtual console games). But that's no longer an issue....

I couldn't get the Linux version of the capture software to work, but I did manage to get the Windows version to work just fine.

My final 3DS downloads. The only new games were Liberation Maiden and Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies. The rest are redownloads of old games I'd since removed.

Myst for 3DS was such a hack job.

Been a while, hasn't it, Personal Trainer: Walking?

The best thing about the Trump indictment? I've heard he's being tried as an adult.

@zx3 @relee - I wonder how much of that is like my desire for the outside to match the inside.

I do not WANT to be a robot. I wouldn't MIND it if the end goal was that I could express who I was with what you see.

You could dump me into my Second Life avvie, and with all the restrictions and functional losses, I'd be happy - because I'd be what I am, instead of telling people that what they see is not me.

There isn't just a big spoiler for today's Picard lurking around on the internet, but a double spoiler, so be careful out there....

@zx3 @socketwench -

@socketwench 0 I'm right there with you. I have things to do. The urge to create is there. Sometimes I'm driven to open a text window, or GIMP. And then when I do, that urge is all "Okay. Go do the thing!" and I have nothing. Its like the drive to do something, and the doing it, are seperate things. The drive pushes me to do something, and when I do it, the actual content just isn't there.

Geared Down meal #2: Chicken thigh with paprika and cayenne pepper (AKA Chicken Guillet), caesar salad bagged kit, and a banana.

Chicken Guillet is amazing, but will weaponize your spices into a nerve gas.

@zx3 @socketwench - Hyper Generation Messiah Worm Arrakis was a wierd anime.
