Saving this for later.

Nintendo lost my interest. I stopped playing the Switch 1 back a couple years ago. I still have it... but I no longer feel like it will even work later, so I should sell it and any games I have.

I've lost every penny on any download only titles. The physical carts are the only ones GameStop will by for pennies.

Too bad, as I loved playing Mario multi-player with friends kids all the time. Now I just feel like there are better things to do.

So say we all.

I prefer the obvious product placement in old movies, tv shows. How funny it is to see product placement all over the place on the kitchen shelves of Seinfeld, the sugar cookie of Honey I Shrunk the Kids.

The list could go on.

Epic Games ….

Never played it never will.

I was going to say the same thing.

Search your model and check if it is a “shingle” storage. Mine is, and it uses a method to write data that is slow and can appear damaged.

If it is, and you have been writing and deleting content, it can become slow. I use this for pure storage and it works fine. No deleting stuff though.

I avoid this tech on new drives, as it is very slow.

Good luck

Get some industrial washing machine shock absorbers from amazon. $20 or so, I put them under my bed leg’s and never feel a door close downstairs hard again.

Put them under anywhere you feel, and it’ll help.

They are normally made of high quality rubber and have grooves made to absorb movement. I also use them under my actual washing machine to spare the downstairs neighbor. Good luck
