In case this was asked in earnest, yes- it happens all the time. Nintendo releases have been notoriously leaky for about 3 years now

There’s going to come a day where China releases some statement along the lines of “The United States continues to agitate against our development, but at what cost?” and it’s going to be the happiest day of my life.

Wildest plan I’ve ever seen respect to the instance operators

If it’s early release it’s a warehouse leak most likely that then gets dumped from a modded console (xci format). Some users convert xci to nsp for reasons unknown to me. Might be that switch cartridges have extra padding at the beginning/end that can be stripped to reduce file size.

Otherwise it’s just a standard dump from a modded console in either eShop (nsp) or physical (xci) format

As someone who used to write extensive notes in the margins of books digital notetaking has forever replaced physical books for me.

E-ink all the way

I say at the end that we’d probably immediately use those powers to revert back to better working conditions (WFH).

I can’t see any scenario where this doesn’t happen immediately and was mostly just riffing at the absurdity of thinking companies would implement these things (outside of maybe free lunches) in order to empower labor (to the company’s shareholders’ detriment) willingly.

Some things that would make me consider it:

• Free high quality lunches every day
• Transportation compensation in the form of both work time (if the office is poorly located) and monetary compensation for transportation expenses
• Management improvement plan with actions they’re taking/implementing to reduce the time they’re wasting of laborers on a day-to-day basis
• Alteration of the company structure to force a large percentage (simple majority) of ownership to workers to push back against reactionary and profit-driven anti-labor whims of shareholders
• Services/compensation that complete tasks that previously I could do during downtime at home
• Yearly inflation-pegged CoL raises that apply to every laborer in the company before salary raises are made
• Massive investment in in-office employee training programs in the form of role-based training that is chosen by laborers in that particular role/function

If every single one of these things were implemented I would then still probably leave the place for another WFH job if we didn’t use our new ownership powers to revert back to WFH immediately.
