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.

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....

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.

Geared Down Grocery Breakfast: Three egg omlette with American cheese and Chocolate para Mesa. I'd add bacon to the mix, but my bacon spoiled....

The full backup of the Video-Enabled 3DS is done. Holy cow that was a lot of work, but (1) everything is now backed up to it so I can stream pretty much anything off it and (2) all the save data is transferred, so it's just the way it was when I last used it (including all the finished Zelda games, and Super Princess PEach).

Rook all day, but it's done. Most of the hard work is over, though, so I'm thinking the NN3DSXL with the wonky Game Card port won't take nearly as long.

So I'm thinking about really gearing down my groceries by just buying staple foods. But...I'm wondering if I still want to do maybe ONE nice meal, like a nice Sunday Nice Dinner.

Downside, it's hard to get ingredients for just five meals, much less one meal.
