I have a Switch (got it when I had a surgery to ease the long recovery). The Nintendo IP is almost completely bullshit free. The success of Switch is nice too.

FromSoftware is another bastion of hope. The popularity of Elden Ring is no coincidence.

Honestly, I shamelessly took a switch into hospital and it was an absolute god-send. I couldn't manage it while on a fentanyl infusion, but combined with the drugs it was perfect – episodic gameplay, pick up and put down, and a wonderful form of escapism. The Witcher and Skyrim come highly recommended, after BOTW.

Why did you feel the need to justify your Switch purchase? Do people judge others over that sort of thing?

this is gaming we’re talking about: yes, of course.

Haha no, I wanted to emphasize how they are even doing the hardware different. The mobile form factor did fit my needs. Just fell short on the explanation.

BTW gamer community is fucked up and people will judge each other on every single detail so you are not far off.
