What’s the deal with Promoting in FEW
I assume the Lordettes get a plot driven one, and I have Master Seals, but is it like previous FEs were characters can promote by themselves if they hit a certain level?

Unlimited World Red has an original story. It's decent by the standards of non-canon One Piece material but if you're looking for any sort of recap you're not going to find it there. If Pirate Warriors 3 by chance ever came to Switch that game has a fairly comprehensive retelling of the manga story.

Oh boo. I thought it was recap + original story.

Got Pirate Warriors 3 on PC (When steam hosed up and it was on sale for 70 cents)

I picked up UWR a few years back when it came out on Vita. It's a perfectly serviceable Monster Hunter clone from an era when everyone was trying to cash in on the Hunting Action craze, but yeah it's its own thing and not a story recap.

From what I read, do it ASAP since it doesn’t reset level, it’s just a big stat boost and crest unlock. Apparently there are 6 in the story mode and the rest are in history maps with exactly enough for everyone in the end.

If I remember right, Nintendo's able to have such quick turnaround because, basically, they get your data on the most recently repaired system, and put your damaged box in the queue for someone else later. It's pretty good for improving turnaround.

They changed it to be updated in real time - it just comes in 5 hour increments and the first few are "just started", " a couple hours", etc.

I did. It's aesthetically pleasing but a bit lackluster.

The core gameplay loop is too simple such that I don't really feel like there are many meaningful decisions to make. The best path forward in any given situation is kinda obvious and in fact there are rarely alternatives.

If it were $5 I'd say heck yeah, and if it were $10 then I'd say it's cheaper than the movies for a few hours' entertainment. At $15 I don't regret my purchase because I enjoy supporting smaller devs and studying game design but I wouldn't recommend it to others. Don't Starve was flawed but at least I didn't run out of stuff to do before I lost interest in it.

You have to buy the YouTube Streamer Starter Kit (upper-end Logitech webcam, Blue Yeti microphone with a pop filter and stabilizer, Elgato capture device, approx. $1500 worth of memorabilia poo poo as a backdrop on cheap IKEA bookshelves) and then upload a bunch of videos to YouTube that all end in "make sure to click like and subscribe"

Is changing the dns the only way to disable firmware updates?

https://hackinformer.com/2017/03/31/bypass-new-nintendo-switch-fw-update/

Gotta disable update because I will lose my poo poo if someone else accidentally updates and I'm forced into 480p indefinitely. I cannot be locked into 480p mode 5 days before SMO comes out.

Edit: can I still update games or is it going try and do a system update at the same time?

I don't remember if the DNS thing still does it, but clicking past the annoying popup should leave you safe for some time. I think only some game updates will require the full system update.

I do hope they fix this because it's insane. Still likely Nintendo goes the route of blaming 3rd party hardware or something stupid (which is what support is telling people right now).

I've also disabled wifi and put into flight mode.

I also booted into recovery mode which seems to delete any update that has been downloaded and not yet installed.

If I can't play SMO or the next big game in 720p I am inclined to ditch my Switch.

What's your source on this? It definitely did not happen to me. 4.0 has been a-okay for me. Only problem I've had was because the recent windows update hosed elgato's drivers and I had to roll back, update elgato, and re-update windows.
