You can do Ctrl+F6+C. Though the C should be after the F6.

I'm at around 35/64GB used with about 20 3DS games and 40 DS games + misc so that should give you an idea. It's plenty but MicroSD prices are super cheap these days. I don't think you need to upgrade unless you plan to have a lot more than that.

Can you subscribe and then immediately cancel? Never used humble bundle before so not sure how that works

It's absolutely, 100% intentionally misleading. They even recognize that internally and are currently being sued for just that.

In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, the agency accused Amazon of using deceptive designs, known as “dark patterns,” to deceive consumers into enrolling in Prime, which provides subscribers with perks such as faster shipping for an fee of $139 annually, or $14.99 a month.

The FTC said Amazon made it difficult for customers to purchase an item without also subscribing to Prime. In some cases, consumers were presented with a button to complete their transactions — which didn’t clearly state it would also enroll them in Prime.

Getting out of a subscription was often too complicated, and Amazon leadership slowed or rejected changes that would have made canceling easier, the complaint said.

Internally, Amazon called the process “Iliad,” a reference to the ancient Greek poem about lengthy siege of Troy during the Trojan war.

Sure, but I don't think it has to be a subscription nag. They're free to monetize as they wish but I don't have to use it either when non-subscription alternatives exist.

I set this up and like the UI but it does that stuff where it says things like "Hey you have duplicates do you want to remove them? Oops sorry you gotta pay for that" and "Hey we noticed you're using a adblocker". Everything has to be a subscription service these days.

Green is not a creative color

I found out the cake was a lie circa 2020. Also with the GPU price trends the last few years, I suspect more people have become patient gamers but not by choice.

Well, the fact that you CAN pull up the info at any time is part of the reason why developers can do it with complete confidence that it won't negatively impact the experience. I personally appreciate unlocking a hidden achievement I had no idea about for doing something unusual in a game but then again I don't generally achievement hunt in games unless I find them cool to 100%.

The server passes away for a couple minutes every few hours. It was flagged and should hopefully be resolved in an upcoming update. Not ideal but not much we can do about it at the moment. Here's the bug report: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3342 but it's related to a couple other tickets as well.
