    So I decided to try to repair a Nintendo Switch Lite joystick. Long story short, I messed up. But at least the battery didn't explode on me. And geez, I should've known to remove that little connector attaching the battery to the motherboard.

    I would complain more, but I just can't. I mean, this is a full-blown computer in a compact case. It's brilliantly stupid. Stupidly brilliant. Anyways, I'll just recycle it now...

      Editing … Oh that sucks but I bet you can still sell it for parts. I repaired a pro controller stick once and that was doable but I also saw video's on how to do the joycons and that looked hard. A switch lite would be even more difficult I can imagine. I bet Nintendo would have fixed the stick for free though if you had sent it to them. I think they are legally bound to do so. I got my joycon repaired by them and it was pretty quick. My condolences though to your switch. :-P I guess lesson learned?

      Editing … For the record, I can't imagine playing the Switch without at least removable Joycons. It feels far too cumbersome to hold as a huge tablet thing. That controller with the slide-in ports is so much more ideal. Smaller, easily removable parts are just so much less breakable.

      Editing … Also, I've had a much easier time repairing the DS systems and the Game Boys. I mean, I thought I could get away with the Switch Lite. The name sounds similar to DS Lite. I even watched some videos and figured that the deconstruction process was simple enough. Then I had to somehow separate the motherboard from the shell and it's a bit of a nightmare. Oh well.

      Editing … There are games I played a couple hours at most: Shadowverse, Burnout Paradise, Mr. Driller, Steamworld Quest, Hotshots Racing, and Horizon Chase Turbo. And I beat Bulletstorm so I think that game is alright. Mega Man 11 was incredibly fun for a bit but I stopped playing the moment I got to the Wily stages. I thought the demo for 9 Monkeys of Shaolin was sweet but I have yet to start playing the full game. And lastly there is Fez and King Oddball which are amazing but I don't own them on Switch, not yet anyways.

      Editing … I mean if we're excluding emulation, BotW, TotK and Mario Odyssey are obvious. Fire Emblem Three Houses exceeded my expectations and is the first game in the series that really hooked me and I was able to finish, Black Eagles forever. DKC Tropical Freeze is the best 2D platformer I've played in the 21st century. I've been playing Pikmin 4 and it's a dramatic improvement over 3 but still not quite as perfect as 2. And Bowser's Fury is my favorite 3D Mario game despite only lasting 3-5 hours long. A shame there isn't a way to buy it without also buying a kind of mid Mario game. Those are the ones I would really hate to see someone miss out on.

Honestly I might get both of those for my Switch, even though I'll give them way more playtime on PC. Or maybe I should wait for a Steam Deck to play those portably, since I do play them both with mods... plus it would let me continue with the same Dragon's Dogma save. But also, I haven't played a game portably in so long, I doubt I'd use a Steam Deck :| - maybe if I was flying more

    I just hacked by Switch yesterday and dumped my save files and NAND, and also the contents of a couple cartridges. Using a RCM jig is kinda hard; I probably got a shit one and had to remove and insert a new paperclip. Also, there are like a billion different guides online, and some of them are outdated, making the hacking process no fun at all. I'm glad I got this over with.

Yeah, we can get so many deals here comapanies will offer all sorts of deals to get you on their contract for 2 years.
