@Jhena I mean... there's drumming, and there's DRUMMING!!! Your play style can be adjusted to reduce noise as required. And while I've not tried this myself yet, I'm pretty sure you could wrap something soft around the ends of the drumsticks to dampen the noise further and your hits would still register on the drum sensor.
This is such a great analysis of the Bayonetta 3 trailers we've seen thus far. Connections to Astral Chain, who Viola really is, where the original Bayonetta is, etc.
Highly recommend

Well, kind of. Found a seller on Ebay who was selling the tablet by itself for a pretty good price. Not a fan of buying electronics on ebay, but the user has a large number of user reviews, and, like, 1 out of the last 1000 were negative, so I felt like it was probably pretty safe. New joycons would be nice, but my old ones have been working fine, and the matte coating on a new pair will wear off after a few months anyway, and I genuinely don't care about the new dock design.
Interestingly, it's Sony that helped push me over the edge. Or, rather, the PS Vita. I've always loved how games look on the system, but never thought too hard about the difference in screen technology. Anyway, I've been playing a game on it for the past week or so. The game itself is unremarkable, with obviously low production values across the board. On a 3DS or a normal Switch, it'd just look like a low-budget fanservice game. But the game features a lot of sharp, contrasting colors, including a lot of blacks, and I couldn't get over how crisp and vibrant everything looked. Then I booted up Persona 4 Golden and Gravity Rush, and quickly remembered how astounding the colors were in so many games on this system.
So I probably won't be getting a Splatoon 3 OLED, but that's fine. I just want my games to look good. While I won't break even on the upgrade, if I play my cards right, I can probably recoup most of the expense by selling my older system and accessories. And then it'll be less of a blow if a Switch Pro releases next year. And this way I don't need to stress out about snagging a special edition Switch before scalper bots do.
Besides, I'm at the point where I don't want to wait a month. The week I'll be waiting is bad enough.

I'm a power seller on eBay. Well, I was. I have around 600 verified transaction feedback ratings at 100%, half buying, half selling. My first eBay purchase was actually a Wii U. At the time I didn't know what to look for, and got scammed. Thankfully eBay's buyer protection covered me and they immediately refunded. That's when I decided I'd start using it more.
Now I've learned the ins and outs. Always check pics to know EXACTLY what you're getting. Note any damage. Read entire description. Then, if item isn't as described based on pics and item description you can return and shipping must be paid by the seller. Always check feedback ratings and never deal with someone less than 95% unless you want to roll the dice (unless it's a small purchase, in which case new sellers with 0 feedback are less likely to be scamming).
You likely know all this already, but for the sake of others reading this, perhaps those lessons can be learned through me.
Congrats btw. I recommend a tempered glass screen protector since there's an anti shatter film, but NOT amFilm brand. I know they were the go-to for other Switch models but they screwed the pooch on their OLED glass. iVoler sells 4 packs with an alignment frame for less than $10 iirc.
Idk if you care, but if you ever get more joycon, I'd recommend a Basstop d-pad modded one from Etsy. It's so nice having that d-pad. The basstop brand is best. I can do all the moves in street fighter ii up through the half circle fire hadoken from Ryu. Zangief pile driver is tough but I can pull that one off too, just not consistently 100%. But that's just a tough move with 360 degree rotation. Point being it's a great d-pad
Make sure the Switch you get doesn't have anything wrong with it (some ppl had greenish tint screen, dead pixels, etc). A good OLED Switch is unbeatable. But buying used is always a gamble, even from trustworthy sellers.
Hope it turns out great though. I think you're gonna love it.

@JaxonH The tablet is listed as "new," which I take to mean that the seller bought one and is selling the components piecemeal to turn a profit. I'll defo be checking it out for any damage or imperfections. Although I'm not sure I quite know how to check for a green tint. Any tips for that?
My own personal standard is to not buy from anyone with a lower than 99.8% positive approval rating for anyone with thousands of transactions, and 100% for anyone within the hundreds. This particular seller has a 99.9% positive approval rating and has 11,000+ transactions under their belt, so I'm not too worried.
I'm hoping to love it! My experience with the Vita tells me I likely will. The bigger screen, longer battery life, and better kickstand will be nice to have as well.
I'll probably stick with my Lite for D-Pad heavy games. Any recommendations for joycon alternatives that offer a better grip without sacrificing gyro, rumble, etc.? I remember you posting about a few different options that worked well for you on here before. I could just grab a grip, but... eh. I have enough of those laying around the house.
Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)
Does anyone have any experience with pre-orders on the eShop?
Xenoblade 3 should be available for pre-download starting today but mine hasn't started yet and I see no option to start downloading the game. Not on the pre-order page nor on the product page of the game.
Edit: OK, never mind. The game started downloading at exactly 12:00 noon.
@TheMelodiusRose
I was thinking that was Nintendo antics to make Earthbound so different from common RPG games.
I honestly still not interested with Earthbound even after hearing from your review.
Kudos for the peoples like that antics in Earthbound, but I personally don't like Earthbound for being too different and very frustrating to play.
I'm not masochist so I will not torture myself to play really hard to play games.
I don't have time to care about kind of that game.
@Ralizah
If you want better grip without sacrificing gyro or rumble, this is the answer. I tried so many options. The thicker super wide ones are just too clumsy compared to these. They're just right.

@Anti-Matter@Kermit1 Earthbound is mostly just difficult in the earlier parts. After you stop being alone it becomes really easy, except for maybe the end. Still, i wouldn't really say it is a hard game, just a bit grindy at the beginning. I think it is well worth it on almost everything else, especially in the musical and sound departement. With the usage of guides, this game doesn't even become frustrating at all
