With the news of a Nintendo Switch successor on the horizon THAT I ACTUALLY BELIEVE, I'm feeling kind of wierd about it.

While working at Nintendo, from the Wii to the Nintendo Switch, I bought every new hardware interation of system on launch day. (like DSLite, DSi, 3DS, New 3DS).

I enjoyed them, for sure, but they were also business purchases. I would do real-time troublshooting with the system in front of me (I had a TV at my desk!), so I felt that a Day One puchase with only a few games was worth it.

But I'm not there anymore, so I don't need to buy one on Day One. And that feels a little sad. I'm going back to my rule of "I need five games before I buy a console" rule for that...and given how long it took me to pick up a PS5 (whose 5 games ended up being four PS4 games!) it may be a while.

I mean, I'm gonna pick up the machine as soon as a Zelda comes out. But it could be a while before I pick up that Switch 2/Pro/Whatever, and it really feels like that part of my life is really finally over.

Gotta love that allergy induced sleep apnea. "Is that a tiny little particle of pollen? SHUT DOWN ALL THE NOSTRILS! LOCK UP THE ADENOIDS! CLOSE THE NOSE CLOSE THE NOSE!"

Ah, I can finally sit down and relax for the next few days. Nothing I need to worry about or stress about and--

JURY DUTY?! AGAIN?!
