The idea of being able to put the Switch in your pocket is quite hilarious. I think we have found the cause of why so many switches have joycon drift issues. It's cause they are all being abused by being put in peoples pockets /s.

The whole "it's gotta fit in your pocket or it's fucking dead to the world" excuse is actually pissing me off, because not only is it unfounded (because why the fuck would anyone making any portable device make carry cases/mini bags, do so in the first place, if we're all apparently using our pockets?), but it's being based on past excuses from even smaller devices which are no longer being supported anymore. 

This is doom and gloom and they're trying to excuse it yet again for stupid small reasons.

I don't have this so called "deep pockets" hammer space shit, where I can cram my switch, wallet and phone into. Hell I don't even put my phone into my trouser pocket, because despite it being small, I still consider it too heavy for my liking and put it in my coat pocket, because that just feels more natural to me (also my stepdad crushed his screen with his phone in his trousers some yrs ago and he's the thinnest guy I've seen around). 

Also yeah, cramming it into your pockets constantly is more likely to induce more drift in the joycons, so I dunno how the pocket "advantage" is a good thing when it introduces a negative. 

Era has good rules about drive by posting and terrible baity threads, I wish VGC had one against "this system looks butt fucking ugly and it doesn't fit in my pocket, so it's gonna fail", because it so far looks like a derailed mess. Next to no research done from the OP, besides taking a tweet and warping it into something negative. 

Like I'll use myself as a prime example:

I don't like the PS5 or Series X, like at all, but you won't see me making threads about how each system looks fugly or how it cannot fit in my damn backpack or some stupid shit, because that's baity/pointless to begin with. 

Yea the only pockets I can probably fit my switch into would be the inside of my jacket pockets as those are pretty big. But I can probably fit the Steam Deck in those as well. However realistically, I wouldn't want to have either inside of the pocket because of how the analog sticks stick out. Not to mention depending on the angle of how you sit, those things can slip out and drop.

And the idea of putting a switch in your jeans is such a dumb idea. It's like, do you not go outside? People would stare at the weird shape in your jeans lmao. And imagine sitting with the switch in your pocket, it would probably bend if you do it enough times. It's quite amazing the wacky ideas people come up with.

I am pretty sure this is what the Steam Deck looks like to people in that thread:
