Anyone have a Switch? It seems to be the only thing I can do to get my mind off things.

I have Mario Kart and Diablo 3 if anyone wants to play.

I absolutely love my Nintendo Switch. It's kind of bittersweet because I used to play it with my wife all the time before we separated.

Right now I'm pretty hooked on Pokémon Sword/Shield but Tetris 99 fills a nice spot when I want to kill 15 - 20 mins.
I would also highly recommend Mario + Rabbids. Great little TRPG

I treat my Switch better than I treat myself if I'm being honest. I've been hooked on Breath of the wild ever since I got it a couple months back.

I've been playing Breath of the Wild, Dark Souls Remastered, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses on Switch... I need to get a new controller for it though, had this one for 2 years and it's becoming unusable... I don't know whether to endorse this as a means of recovery. Video games in general were never therapeutic or social for me, more of a full-on escapist thing where I'd play for 14 hours without interacting with another person.

I haven't been able to play my Switch in two months, and I've only had it for three. I have a bunch of games on it that I want to play quite badly (Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, BotW, the Katamari Damacy remaster), it's sitting in front of me, and I cannot be bothered. Not being able to play video games is probably a new low for me when it comes to inertia. On the other hand, I imagine I'll binge the new Animal Crossing, because I can't play that game normally.

I'm waiting for my wired controller as i was getting painful side effects from using the wireless controller as I'm electro-sensitive. You may want to consider going wired if/when possible with any devices. I've studied the effects of Wi/fi/cell/bluetooth etc and they can be very harmful. Living in a world where I can't escape them makes me want to ctb. I'm 32 and only bought the Switch to see if it would help distract me, and sometimes it does for a few minutes.

My Switch Lite is one of my essential carries. Right now I'm playing through Pokemon Sword trying to complete a living dex and Link's Awakening. I have a copy of Digimon Cyber Sleuth and Astral Chain in my backlog awaiting to be started.

I remember getting excited for Nintendos new console, it was meant to revolutionise gaming. That was the Wii. Where the fuck did my life go?

Man, I used to love my Wii haha! Even further back than that, I loved my EyeToy Play on the PS2, especially the window cleaning levels haha! (I'm 26 so this was my childhood haha!)

Feels so fucked up to me when people say that was there childhood. I was already an adult but sure didn't act like one. My regret dates back that far hence the username. Doesn't even seem long ago to me.

I'm sorry :( Although that's the good thing about gaming, it can be enjoyed at any age :)

I can't play anything of that era, the memories are just too painful. What I can still play however is the SNES and Megadrive. Now that was my childhood.

I have fond memories of playing my SNES and mega drive when I was a kid.

I used to play my old NES, Sega, etc. games using roms and emulators. Then my video card glitched and I had to reformat my system. Pain in the ass to get it set up again and I haven't

Recently got a Switch though. A little present for a recent accomplishment.

I have a Switch. I don't play it a lot, since I only have one game. I also feel like I'd play it more if it had a achievement system. Yes I like trophies/cheevos. Still I got it for the Nintendo exclusives. Also, loved to play the NES and SNES.

I love mine, I think it's my favorite console since GameCube back in the day. Just beat Pokemon Shield a few hours ago.

I want to preorder Animal Crossing which comes out next month but I keep putting it off because I don't know if I'll have time to dedicate to it.

I completely understand how you feel. I have some emulators running on my computer, and a friend gifted me a switch a little while back yet i just couldn't... bother myself to use it. I only feel focused, I can't really feel much fun when I play games anymore and it's debilitating. There's a meme on it.

Yea, I have Nintendo Switch! I didn't have the energy to play for a long time, but now I'm finally back at it. I have a lot of games, so if anyone would want to play I'm probably up for it lol.

To be honest, the only reason that I invested in a Nintendo Switch was so that I could play Fire Emblem ha ha ha;;; I've a few other games but haven't completed a single one because I just don't have the energy. Even the idea of turning the console on is daunting.

Still, let's be real, I will probably end up purchasing the new Animal Crossing because I adore the cute things.

As fun as it would be to play with others here, I'm hesitant about exchanging codes because the name of my account closely matches that of my Pixiv. It could be really awkward.
