Re: Guide: How To Fix A Drifting Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

It's funny that I'm seeing this article right after rage quitting my Switch because of joycon drift. I wanted to casually play BOTW, and Link kept running off platforms without my input. It's worse when you're intentionally moving slow in an area, and then he just starts running in a different direction. Lol it's gotten so bad that I try to use the directional buttons as much as possible in the games that support it. I still love my Switch. But yeah. It's really annoying. I've owned Nintendo systems for years and they each have their own quirks overtime (the N64 analog stick getting "loose", [but that was after 8 years], the 3DS circle pad grip coming off [after 5 years]) but this one started happening rather early, and it also isn't an easy fix because it keeps coming back for me. I've cleaned it twice already. I take care of my systems and don't abuse them, so this is definitely a design flaw.

@Andy_Witmyer Your original comment was sarcastic and downplayed the impact of the virus. You implied that shutting things down was an over-reaction. You're disconnected from the issue itself, so it feels like a lack of empathy. Media sensationalism did not make this worse. It's not a lack of toilet paper that is causing people to die. It's not the amount of people getting doctor check-ups at the same time. It's the amount of people in the Intensive Care Unit with the virus that are unable to breathe on their own at the exact same time, and a shortage of ventilators, in addition to the risk for people with any underlying health issues and the elderly.

@Andy_Witmyer I think it's been established many times already that it's not just a death toll numbers game here. Look at Italy's situation. Which flu in recent memory has caused a complete breakdown in their health system? Which flu has led to a shortage of ventilators because of the amount of people needing it at once? People are dying, not just because of the flu, but because of the amount of people needing treatment at the same time and our current global health system being unable to handle it. It sounds like you're completely unaffected by this, and you know no one personally that has been affected, which would explain your lack of empathy.
