The Exigent Duality
Switch OLED - 16:41 CST, 10/08/21 (Sniper)
I shouldn't have done this, but on a whim this morning I called the Target in town-- one of only two video game-carrying stores within a seventy mile radius of my house-- to see if they had any. Well...



I shouldn't have done it: I have an almost seven hundred dollar Steam Deck showing up early next year, and "Switch Pro" will probably also be out by the end of the next year-- which I'll also buy, for sure. On the flip-side, I have my fortieth birthday in nine days, and I sure as heck have the cash for it now that I have no mortgage and minimal bills.

Why not treat myself? Shame it wasn't the white one: but I've always liked the two-toned controllers anyway. Beyond the screen, the battery on my current unit is terrible by now, I have "drift" in one of my joy-cons, and they've actually fixed the "drift" with these latest joy-con renditions.

I did buy it on one stipulation however: that I won't open it until my actual birthday. So I won't be posting any pictures or anything until sometime after that. My copy of "Metroid Dread" also showed up today, so I'll be starting that over the weekend on my current Switch.
