@gcunit Finally a voice of reason! People, calm down with the fear mongering already. It'll be OK.
Modern CPUs are designed to throttle long before they reach unsafe temps. The purpose of the fan in the dock is to maintain a temperature range the Super Switch (what Nintendo should've called it) can operate in without throttling. In other words, keep it cool enough to run at full performance.
Removing the fan from the equation may lead to CPU throttling if gameplay results in sustained high temps. But it's not going to melt your Switch. It'll be fine. Relax.

Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance (GameCube) - Aged & Easier Than You're Used To, But Still A Winner
No, Path of Radiance is not "too easy". The difficulty is just fine. Not every game needs to be overly punishing.
Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Switch 1 & 2 Physical Release Does Not Include Mortal Kombat 4 On The Game Card
@Yojimbo unfortunately there isn't going to be a secondhand market in 20 years. And that's by design. Can't have pesky consumers owning anything.
