I'd love to be able to play the Switch on the Joycons, but of course, they don't work.

For years now, they've both had a bad connection with the Switch itself, not sure if the problem was on the Joycons or on the console, but it's made handheld mode essentially useless because the controllers keep disconnecting if you don't hold the Switch perfectly steady. And now the battery died on my left Joycon, I assume it's because it kept connecting and disconnecting while charging, meaning I can't use them in docked or tabletop mode either.

Thankfully I haven't felt like replaying Okami in a while, that game is best on the Joycons, and I played through Skyward Sword HD a while back, so I just play everything on the Pro controller. Or, you know, I could go get my Joycons fixed, but it's just... so much time and money to put into something that is ultimately useless because they'll go and break again in different ways. That's just how Switch hardware works.
