Here's a protip if one weeks unexpected expenses are enough to make you not be able to afford a video game then you are sacrificing your financial security for video games, unless that unexpected expense was like thousands of dollars.

we were kidding but this post of yours isnt reassuring at all its actually very concerning

It was $1500 to be precise, to replace a bed, a smashed window and an emergency dentist trip for my kid

Even with that, I still have the money for it in another bank, I just didnt have the money for it in the account the money's coming from.

worst case scenario I change the payment source to the other bank :shrug:

Eh, that's what credit cards, 401k loans, payday loans, HEL's, and car note loans are for. Buy that video game console now, life is too short! Just tell the kids if they want any heirlooms they better save up for the estate sale/auction after you croak.

Move to Virginia so you can pick up your Switch on a beautiful 70 degree March day, so you don't have to think about the ramifications of it being 80 degrees in February a week earlier.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

My launch wiiu has survived literal daily use by a now 4 and 6 year old. Its been dropped more times then I can count. Its ridiculously rugged. This has glass on it. Don't think it will be as good.

Trick question. Joycons obviously connected if he was in a position to drop it.

Try harder.

Reggie does.

It did make me unreasonably upset that the joycons were attached in the video about falling over.

Also how it didnt fall over til you poked it. Reminds me of the ps4 where it looked wobbly if you pressed down because of the footpad placement. Something that wouldnt happen unless you pushed down on the console. For reasons.
