  • The Switch is fantastic for what it is. Sure, it’s anemic and old, but it’s a creative design that more or less created a whole product category and allows for very creative gameplay.

    They did push their luck a bit with BOTW and especially TOTK, regarding performance, sure. But most of the time, you really don’t need incredible processing power to play a Nintendo game. They’re overdue for a Switch 2 (I suspect they planned to release that much earlier but a combination of the pandemic and higher sustained sales than anticipated changed their plans), but I really don’t think most of their consoles can be considered mistakes.

    IMO Nintendo brings something different and it’s very much okay that it exists.

    What I’m actually doubtful about is Xbox and Sony. Those are just PC-controller combos, made cheap through standardisation, high volumes and loss-leader tactics, essentially. Microsoft and, to a lesser but similar degree, Sony, are the ones I’m not convinced provide the world with much value by making consoles.


    • there are lots of different drugs, and not all of them work on everyone. You may have to try several until you find one that works well and doesn’t have too many undesirable effects on you.
    • usually they start you on a low dose and increase gradually, kind of similarly to how they do for antidepressants. So you won’t really feel the full effect right away. Though starting with 30 mg of lisdexamfetamine is kinda intense. Unless you’re a properly massive individual, I’m amazed the doctor just went there straight away. You could’ve had really unpleasant cardiac side effects. Glad it doesn’t seem like you did.
    • it’s not like cocaine. The effect is supposed to be relatively subtle if it’s right for you.
