missed out on preordering the animal crossing edition switch but that's ok i just waltzed into wal-mart this morning and picked one up instead :getin:

I've seen a few people today be able to walk into a Gamestop or Wal-Mart and pick one up. I'm jealous! But I have my trusty launch day Switch so I am still happy.

Same. It’s surprisingly hard to tell myself not to go out and buy the pretty switch when I have a perfectly good one at home I already spent $300 on...

I had to restrain myself this morning from hopping in the car and cruising around looking for a limited edition unit.

Reasons I didn't go out:
  • Usual "using a collectible increases the risk of damaging it" clause - this is the biggest one...the bad feels when you drop it or ding it up or get it dirty...:ohdear:
  • Almost surely going to get one of those joycon grip case thingers for improved on-the-go ergonomics (p.s. hmu with your faves if anyone here uses those sorts of things) and that would of course cover up a lot of the pretty :downs:
  • Just bought a regular rear end neon red/blue Switch specifically so I wouldn't try for the ACLE :homebrew:
  • They'd probably all be sold out anyways (see previous post. goondolences) :v:
  • Was raining pretty heavily :shrug:

Reasons I still want one:
  • oh god, the pretty, it hurts

Just buy a skin. It's cheaper, and unless you play in portable most of the time, looks the same! Probably!

I still want the actual console :(

That's really tempting tbh because the joycon color is really the only part of the Animal Cross Switch I was particularly interested in.

If anyone is still wanting one and can't find one in person/doesn't have the means to go out right now, I've received alerts that both Walmart and Amazon are taking (regular priced, not $500) orders. No guarantees, but if you're willing to wait for delivery, it's worth a shot.

I do, although I've been pretty burned out on personal art projects for over a year, so most of my IG roll lately is photos of my stickers in various places. I'm also a 3D artist by profession, so if/when I do get back into artmaking for fun it'll be mostly 3D game art.

Yeah, burnout is real. I've been dealing with some depression and other mental issues lately as well. My overall #mood these days is "Tired but don't want to sleep because that means starting a new day" lol. But gettin' help and taking it one day at a time! I appreciate the follow in any case and I hope to get back to things soon!

These are mint! I've put them in the OP and carved out a spot specifically for posters' fanart. Here's one of everyone's favourite verbally abusive mole. I doodled it at work on paper, then coloured in Procreate:

Can I shamelessly be in the OP too? These were made back in Miiverse (RIP Miiverse):


Made for Chronicler of Dongs

Made for Becklespinax

Turns out the 3DS stylus doesn't work for the Switch, so I guess I need to buy a decent fine point capacitive stylus and a screen protector. And another AC adapter to keep near the bed so I can play while falling asleep. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

do it do it do it you know you want it.

Although... it seems awfully loose in the dock. The connection itself seems okay but I can wiggle the switch back and forth quite a bit. Put it in my old dock (bought ~2 months after launch) and it fit much better, haven't tried it the other way around yet.

Thanks for the recs! Is the clear disk around the stylus point supposed to help stabilize the pen since you can't rest your palm on the screen without it registering as a touch? (I wonder if a fingerless glove or other palm cover would help with that.)
