Splatoon has more interesting lore than literally every other multiplayer shooter. I hope they bring back the weird artifacts with the WW1-esque drawings in 2.
There are four licensed DOOM novels.

You can from the Switch dock to your router if you get a USB ethernet adapter (any generic one will work).

Yes, but you'll need an OTG cable to convert usb-c to A, and then an Ethernet to usb adapter to plug into that. If you're talking about plugging into the dock you just need the Ethernet adapter, you don't need the otg cable.

Your cable box has an Ethernet port? I don't think that will make an internet connection it would be for receiving one not sharing. I assume your TV is connected by wifi and it's for a SMART feature or something?

This is going to be something you need to ask your cable provider don't mention the switch ask if you plug your computer in if it would work.

The enhanced Cave Story+ releases in late 2011 so 5.5 years old I guess? (2004 for original release, 2010 for wii, 2011 for 3DS)

Anyways things cost money, get it from Best Buy for $6 off making it $24, or don't! Can't wait for the update with local co-op :3:

Ethernet over power adapters work pretty decently as well. I have my router on my main floor where my current gen consoles are. And use ethernet over power adapter as a lan line in my basement for my work computer as well as my gaming PC setup. I think you can get them for $40 or less these days.
