That sounds like a great position. Don't suppose you're in florida haha

You're right, it's poor general advice; normally batteries function as they should with a few hours in a charger. In that case I would not recommend discharging a battery as it harms the overall lifespan of a battery.

But when things aren't normal, and it's an issue with battery capacity not displaying properly, and charging to full didn't fix it, discharging is a reasonable next step to be taken before getting a new battery or checking fuses. If a battery is already in poor health enough that one discharge-recharge cycle makes an appreciable dent in the remaining life of the battery, it has very little time left either way and needs to be replaced soon.

Some more research seems to back this up; advice to discharge batteries when having issues is present in most battery troubleshooting/repair guides, on forums, and in various device manuals. I stand by my original advice to OP given their description of the issue; and I find "Charging to full is completely enough to recalibrate the monitoring circuit." to be demonstrably untrue in many situations.

Given all that, and multiple personal experiences with issues being fixed by discharging (and not by just charging), frankly I don't see my thoughts on this changing much and I'll continue to use the method as a troubleshooting step when restoring and fixing devices as long as it continues to work. You're free to give whatever advice you wish, and I'll do the same, but I don't see much point in continuing this discussion.

LiIon batteries can be damaged if they're actually completely discharged, but the ones in ds/3ds (and any modern battery really) have circuitry to prevent this - if the battery can't recover from being discharged to the point of no longer providing power then either the circuitry or the cells are already damaged far beyond the point of no return. Though, granted, discharging to that point isn't great for them, so you should avoid doing it regularly.

Charging to full isn't always enough to completely recalibrate the battery. Battery management circuits typically keep track of both maximum and minimum charges, and both can get out of whack, so only a full charge may or may not solve the problem.

I double checked all that with google, I'm on mobile so linking a bunch of sites is a pain but you should be able to verify with a few searches (if not lmk and I'll find the links later). Anecdotally I've personally had battery issues with an o3ds (and a couple other non-nintendo devices) that were solved with a full discharge-recharge cycle, but not with just charging to full, so regardless of the reasons it's undoubtedly helpful in some cases.

I prefer TV series as a medium; I have trouble sitting through a whole movie, and I think the way series have 'chapters' like a book is really helpful for a lot of stories. There's also just a lot more detail you can put in a long show.

All that being said, I'm so sick of series that don't go anywhere, or get cancelled prematurely. Other than miniseries like Queen's Gambit it seems like so many just sort of wander off into mediocrity after some seasons. Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Outer Range (soon)... Now I wait for series to end before picking them up, at least in the case of plot-heavy shows like those. There's less of an issue for comedies and other types of shows where the story isn't the main draw, so that's the sort of TV I end up watching the most.

That's the first one that came to mind for me too! Kid me absolutely loved it in theaters, and it only gets better with age. It's so stylistically out there, there's really nothing that looks quite like it.

Another one of my favorites was Tron: Legacy. Again, blew my mind in theaters, and I've come to love it even more now. I don't think this one was a flop exactly, though it did underperform. It's similar to Speed Racer in that it's very visually-focused with a super unique aesthetic, though the emphasis on practical effects and physical camera stuff (lens flares etc) gives it a completely different feel that I love too.

https://vita.hacks.guide/ has all the info you need to hack your vita. From there just install retroarch, put your roms on, and you're good to go.

Same here! It has wonderful buttons, a gorgeous screen, long battery life, comfy form factor (compared to other handhelds, at least), plus is powerful enough to handle anything I'd want to use it for. If/when I pick up a Steam Deck I suspect I'll use that more, but for pocket-sized handhelds the vita can't be beat imo.

I had something similar with my 2ds LL a while back, with it never appearing to charge, though I'm pretty sure I had to open it up and disconnect/reconnect the battery to get it functioning normally again in my case. If yours is working now there's no need to do that, but either way it might be helpful to recalibrate the battery by discharging it until it's completely dead then charging it back up to full.

I'm not sure what you mean about adorableporn trying to make anyone appear underage - I see no indication of that in the post in question, and that's not the purpose of the community (it would even appear all non-OC posts must include proof of being above legal age). I'm not sure what your second sentence means. I had no intention of changing/mischaracterizing anyone's post and I find it very ironic you say I did.

The recipe I used ended up being terrible haha, so I kinda started winging it halfway through. The later batches turned out better after some adjustments but I'd still like a better starting recipe, so if you find a good one please let me know!

I agree. In this case the pictures in question include the model name, who you can research yourself and see is above 18. That community is strictly moderated, and requires model name, source, and age verification.

Fuck yeah I would. As long as it's cheap and relatively safe I'd take instant transportation over spending hours sitting in a metal box any day.
