Something few people are talking about with regards to the Nintendo Switch is something that actually might be most significant in the long term across all of our electronics: the USB type-C power supply supporting USB Power Delivery 2.0.
People have been testing the Switch with various USB-C power adapters and it seems to properly implement PD 2.0. The adapter that comes with the Switch can deliver power in two flavors: 5V==1.5A (7.5 watts) or 15V==2.6A (39 watts). The 7.5W mode is enough the charge the battery while it's sleeping, or greatly extend its runtime without charging while in use. The 39W mode can run the console docked and charge the battery at full rate.
Another company recently committed to USB-C and USB PD also: Apple. They've shipped a couple laptops that charge exclusively over USB-C and shipped a few USB chargers. Apple's adapter can supply 20.2V==4.3A (86 watts), 9V==3A (27 watts), or 5.2V==2.4A (12 watts).
If you connect Apple's laptop power adapters to the Nintendo Switch, the Switch queries the power supply, picks the 9 volt mode, and draws 9.6 watts. That's enough to run the system and charge slowly. Not totally ideal, but the Switch is talking to the Apple hardware, negotiating the best power plan both can work on, and, most importantly, it works.
I know it's funny that I am excited about this but Nintendo and Apple have both taken a common standard and implemented it and their products are interoperating correctly! These are two historically notoriously proprietary companies, embracing a consumer-friendly standard with little fanfare, and a couple of their released products are interoperable. This is huge.
We might really finally get a universal DC power supply specification that works across devices and isn't a bunch of undefined borderline dangerous crap with only bad connector options like USB type A's 100mA / 500mA / 1A / 2A nonsense. It's happening guys.
meanwhile, they did something to trash up the USB-C video standard to it will only output video via their dock
their $90 dock
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Just wrote "it's not really a FAP" on a student's paper.

Like, Skyrim's getting held up as an example of a fantastic game coming to the Switch soon
Skyrim, the six year old game
It's a good thing that Zelda is crazy awesome because the Switch has a definite library problem that's looking like it's going to be extending well beyond launch
vanilla skyrim
Wait, the Switch version of Skyrim isn't the SE? On the real?
as in, mods
ain't no chance in hell that nintendo "i hurd you like friend codes" is gonna have mod support in skyrim
depending on how much effort nintendo goes into locking it down it may be possible to hack mods into it but I wouldnt bet on it
So who's hyped for the total solar eclipse in August?
I was real excite when I was living in OR but now idk how far feom the path I am : (

You could resell the switch and zeldo after you finish it
I don't recommend this course of action because zelda has been shit since it went 3d
Yes Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were awful and absolutely not some of the best games of that entire console generation.
Glad we agree

I just had a terrifying thought. What if we lose seats in the mid term. It is not outside of the realm of reality that the senate may end up with 61 GOP just based on states that voted trump.

The point of the SE was to not have to go through that kind of shit. I was never going to buy Skyrim on the Switch because I already have it via Steam (SE even), but it demonstrates Nintendo's outlook / policy on this sort of thing. I'm gonna be waiting a while for a reason to buy a Switch.

my mom says I should buy nothing for myself since I still have debt but I feel like I might not even live to pay off all my debts so I should keep at least 25% of my tax return+bonus for shit I want

I feel like saying zelda is bad since it went 3D is kind of silly
that's only four games, only two of which that were even particularly close in mechanics and presentation (LttP and LA)
just say you really really liked A Link to the Past
3D didn't ruin a series there wasn't shit there to ruin
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Also I need to see more chatter friend codes for switch so get on that. I don't have mine with me at the moment but @ me with your codes! Your stupid stupid friend codes.

There are roving packs of feral lesbians that just stab other lesbians?
