I managed to snag a Switch Pro Controller pre-order. Jesus, nearly $90 USD just to have the controller on launch day.
I bought it for my sweetie because he doesn't think he's going to like the other control options on the Switch.
I still plan on playing BotW on WiiU. I'll get a Switch once they release a must-play game that I have to have a Switch for.
I really love the Wii U and I'm sad that it didn't get more games. The gamepad is wonderful.

So why are you preordering the pro controller? I don't think those are going to be limited.

i've heard the standard controller with the joycons in that little dock thing feels almost exactly like the pro controller. gonna hold off on buying one bc i feel like i'll be happy with just what's in the box. i liked the gamepad too so i'll prob be fine

Yeah, I think I should be able to

Kind of a nuisance though, I was all ready for some retro gaming action

Actually that thing is crying out for a gamepad, most games on the system used the same keys for control, so I could probably add a hardware mod for that

Yeah, that sucks. At least it's salvageable though.

My sweetie is getting a Switch so he can play Zelda. The controller is for him. I guess I shouldn't assume that everyone knows this just because I mentioned it weeks ago.

In a twisted turn of events I may end up becoming a TV expert moving away from computers. I'm... Not really sure how I feel about this but it's a job offer I can't refuse. I just have to be 100% biased to Samsung TVs and I get it pretty much.

the best part of never watching Rick and Morty sober is every time I watch it it feels new and fresh

Yeah. I'm not really allowed to disclose numbers, since the other Samsung rep that disclosed the numbers to me was technically breaking contract, but lets just say that I can pretty much get any of their products for 70-85% off... not to mention credit for amazon or best buy when my purchases are made there.

I think Its time to invest in a PS4Pro to take advantage of 4K

I think part of the reason I hate getting into shows is because I hate finishing them.

I'm also getting sick as fuck and wanting to get on meds again. I've been going to bed at a reasonable time but without fail I wake up at around 2am. Been only getting about 4-5 hours of sleep a night for the last week or so. It's really starting to fuck with my head again and I remember why I was getting so depressed all the time back in highschool when I would just never sleep. Really fucks you up.

On the other hand I decided to re-watch Rick and Morty and I'm sad it's taking so long for season 3. I tried watching the recent season of south park to get my cartoon fix but the most recent season just sucks. It's nothing but politics and politics and politics. It's dull and shit. I miss when they'd just make fun of random shit depending on what's going on at the time, instead of just focusing on the presidency.
