  • Have you talked to othet climbers about whether this is an issue that sort of goes away after some experience? If it’s going to cause you significant physical harm, I’d say look for other activities. If it’s just discomfort or something that goes away with experience, I say keep going considering you love doing it.

    For sports with a problem solving aspect, I’m not sure whether sweeping is the most physical intensive activity, but curling is basically a sport that comes with a fun physics/geometry problem attached. Just don’t become a skip if you want the exercise (they don’t sweep).











  • my plan would be putting the roms onto the Switch and then play handheld (is this possible?)

    Jailbreaking a still supported console is generally pretty tough. I’m guessing you’ll have to look for specific product numbers and firmware versions. For handheld gaming you could always get another device and use it for PC and retro emulators games. Steam deck is excellent, but pricey (and actually plays some switch games). On the slightly more affordable end there are the retroid pockets. There are hundreds of other cheap handheld emulators, but I’d do some reading into one before going with it.



  • Is it just mere elitism to feel superior or are there any other reasons?

    Security concerns are a part of it. The idea is that there’s an added layer of security if everyone is a friend of a friend, but obviously it’s not very practical. Generally the security is added by making sure you’re drafting from an “in”-crowd, which usually means familiarity with the content hosted and how the content is generated (like the old what.cd test) in addition to being a member in good standing in a tracker or a proven history of seeding. User limits also make the need for people to be very into the specific content type in order to make sure even the more obscure content is well seeded.
