I accidentally put on the joy con straps backwards one time. It was my fault for being such a dumb ass but it was still a pain in the ass to pull off. I also don't know how people are scratching their Switches. You would have to slam the console into the dock to cause it any damage because the plastic that is in front of it is pushed upwards.

When I put it under a light, I can't even tell if my screen has scratches or if it's just the edge of smudge marks(after cleaning it)

 

But yeah I'm pretty sure no scratches yet

in 500 hours of play I've experienced a handful of crashes but nothing more or less than you would expect for a system.

The Minecraft bug was strange, got that at launch and it was effecting system stability just having the game installed, was taking screenshots and such in other games and was preventing screenshots being taken.

Oh and to connect the Switch to my projector it has to be fully powered off to attack the HDMI > VGA adapter onto the dock, not sure why yet but when it powers back up the TV resolution area changes to automatic and then works perfectly with the adapter, nothing quite like Switching from 6.2inches to 200+ and getting lost in Hyrule.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I bought one of these new screen controllers from Nintendo and it won't connect to my Wii U. Total failure.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

That's exactly what people are doing.

Everyone knows AIDS is a switch transmitted virus.

You think people would be more careful with their shiny, new 300 dollar piece of hardware that has been high in demand for several months.

I think the problem are not people who actually spent their hard earned money for a piece of hardware they desired, but the kind who have no concept of value or care, also known as children, and it is a sad fact that term does not pertain to a certain age any more in our time.

I've seen full grown adults post their scratched Switches. A lot of these people have no idea how to care for technology.

Mines fine. No screen scratches, but I did go out and buy a protector.
