I just bought a Switch yesterday bc there is nothing good left on streaming and my first thought was "I don't like the way this thing looks sitting next to a TV". I may have to enter this contest https://cults3d.com/en/contests/3d-printing-video-games-accessories

What's funny about this is I spent a bunch of time and money setting up a maxed out PC gaming rig in 2020 and then never really used it, I installed a bunch of stuff and spent lots of time upgrading it and then never really played any games other than Goat Simulator. It had no appeal to me when the world was shut down. Now that stuff is back in full swing, mindless entertainment has a lot more appeal to my burned-out brain. And the Switch is just way better for that than PC gaming.

@h_thoreson My dad used to have this theory about people building things they really want: It is really the process of creation they enjoy, which is why so many build dream homes they then sell immediately.
I've definitely had that with PCs and *things* too; the enjoyment of thinking "This is the thing that I will enjoy and make use of" Then two weeks later it is just..stuff.

Although your point about the feelings around the world being shut down is also very relatable. It sucked out the joy
