I was pretty skeptical about the original Switch but bought it on a whim after being laid off.

It quickly became one of my favorite gaming consoles. The ability to play anywhere didn’t seem like a big deal until I could do it.

I have zero interest in being tied to a single spot like the traditional console experience now.

It's fascinating how the Switch can be such a different device for different people. I bought my Switch in 2022 and it has remained exclusively docked under my TV since then. I have yet to even conceive of a scenario in which I would want to play it on the go. Perhaps if I went on long flights more than a couple of times a year? But who am I kidding, I would still read or listen to podcasts on the plane.

Play it in bed.

I have no desire to do that though. It's uncomfortable to sit up in bed, and uncomfortable to play games lying down.
