I have a lead on one of the potential issues, it's crashing when trying to generate the weekly "email digests" (aka: "What you missed since you were gone" emails). I'm going to temporarily disable this feature, to see how it affects the downtime (monitor-able here: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/JYZp8iqQOr/790761338 )
Edit: false alarm, the crash is still happening
This past week the site has been having large periods of downtime and lag. I'm going to be trying some server fixes today and tomorrow to address these problems.
Known Issues:
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Website: https://library.gamehistory.org
The Video Game History Foundation has officially thrown the virtual doors open to its massive digital library. Designed to be a free-to-access resource for researchers, historians, and video game fans, the VGHF Digital Library currently offers more than 30,000 curated files spanning 50 years of video game history. Demand is already pretty high, so at the time of writing, you might struggle to access the library.
The non-profit group says that visitors will find out-of-print video game magazines, never-before-seen game development assets, artwork, promotional materials, and more gaming relics here, with more than 1,500 of them being full-text searchable.
"We've been working on this project since we founded the Video Game History Foundation in 2017, so we're extremely proud to start providing access to our digital library and continue our mission to make video game history accessible to anyone," VGHF founder Frank Cifaldi said in a statement. "We believe that with the right tools, anyone can be a video game historian, and we can't wait to see what new stories our archive inspires. We also hope this inspires those in the video game industry to consider the importance of preserving their work and contributing to initiatives like ours."

@Raven Some websites will detect if you're on wifi in different ways is all, I think. The switch itself will act like it's offline (for all non-browser Internet services) since the connection applet is blocked from finishing the network test.

I wanted to chime in here with a pro-Christianity view of LGBT acceptance. Most of it focuses on the New Testament. You can find Christian scholars on both sides of this argument.
Regarding acceptance or support, this page contains many direct bible quotes of LGBTQ-affirming scripture: https://www.sthugh.net/lgbtq-affirming-scripture (top Google search result for "pro lgbt bible quotes")
Most relevant to this discussion is:
God welcomes people of all genders and sexual identities. “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28) Also “…God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.” (Acts 10:28) Jesus gladly socialized with people that the religious establishment disapproved of. (Matthew 9:11)
And then this follow-up one:
Jesus acknowledged that gender variance exists, and he did not condemn it. “For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:12)
That page links this site, for finding local churches that share those kinds of sentiments: https://www.gaychurch.org
I will also say anecdotally, where I live (a progressive area, granted) there are usually many Christian churches that have the rainbow LGBT flag out front. What "support" means to each person in this context, I suppose will differ on which sect of the faith you practice.
This site: https://htmlforpeople.com is a really nice beginner-friendly resource for learning HTML basics, and some good practices to set you up for more complex pages in the future!
So I asked: "Are you either are unaware of these facts, or don't believe them to be a concern?", and your answer is the latter?
It doesn't surprise me at all that many (49.9% of voters, not even most) people are misinformed and treat politics like sports. Good luck to you these next four years.
@Marla said in Kamala vs. Trump:
I'd like to add that my post was not meant for people to assume my political beliefs despite seeming as such
Same really, just wanted to add some info around the topic. Hopefully the day to day for most Americans won't change too much.
No matter how you cut it, the country has re-elected an insurrectionist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack
Trump was impeached specifically for inciting the riot, including by his fellow republicans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_impeachment_trial_of_Donald_Trump
And he continues to deny the results of the 2020 election to this day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_reactions_to_Donald_Trump's_claims_of_2020_election_fraud
@DannilTrifonov Are you either are unaware of these facts, or don't believe them to be a concern? Kamala, by contrast, is the sitting VP of the strongest US economy (post-covid) of all time. It is true that for a time, during the Biden administration, we have had higher inflation, but so has the entire world (again, due to covid).
On 2021-2023 worldwide inflation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021–2023_inflation_surge
To me, the best case scenario for Trump in 2024-2028 is that he will do the same things he did in 2016-2020: He’ll cut taxes for the wealthy, and undermine our international agreements with foreign partners (Making them less reliant on the USA as a whole, reducing our role as a global leader).
One of the worst case scenarios would be another pandemic, and the continued erosion of our health systems and constitutional process (such as, the peaceful transfer of power).
I'm not concerned at all about the price of gas, as it is already heavily subsidized. The prices are so affordable because of taxes in the first place. You can't just magically lower taxes and also get cheaper commodities. I also believe that we should be investing more in EVs, not gas, due to the realities of climate change. But I'd love to disagree and argue over that instead of having to argue over the definition of constitutional treason and stuff.
There's our own on this site, by messaging: @BrowseGPT
I'm also looking into making a standalone site that works well on Switch. if anyone else has suggestions thought, that would be appreciated.
@sweet_sabor14 I like it! It can just be a little distracting, or get old after a while.
@MASONNETishere just the quickest way for us to add the toggle.
There's currently an issue on this forum where new groups can't be edited after being created. This topic is to track the issue.
The page times out (504 error) when trying to load one of the recently created groups: https://browsedns.net/groups?sort=date
If you join this group: https://browsedns.net/groups/no-snow and refresh, the snowing effect will not start. That's it!
If you're working on a website for a console that doesn't have a modern browser, or web dev tools, and can't figure out why something is broken on the console, the following HTML snippet can be used to display and alert any javascript errors:
<script>
window.onerror = function(message, source, lineno, colno, error) {
alert(`Error: ${message}\nSource: ${source}\nLine: ${lineno}\nColumn: ${colno}\nError object: ${error}`);
return false;
};
</script>
This will only help for websites where you can control the source code. It displays whatever errored on the page, and the filename and line number that generated it.
Nintendo has not explained their reasoning. The Sony PS5 is in the same situation though, with a hidden kind-of usable Internet browser. Both systems also have M-rated games, YouTube, Hulu, Twitch, other streaming apps, and parental controls to manage them, so I don't think it's about user age.
It could be a platform security decision, as the Wii, Wii U, DS, and 3DS all have had browser exploits. Although, since the Switch does have a browser still, it's also still vulnerable regardless of it being accessible to the user or not.
Hi! Our SSL certificate had expired. I just renewed it and it this warning should be fixed now. This YT vid has more info on what SSL is and how it works:
This kind of security is also the reason if you're visiting any HTTPS site, even on the DNS, the web traffic can't be intercepted. A valid SSL connection is directly encrypted with your target website, so browsers will warn when these certificates expire.
