My Switch Lite has shown up! I now own my very first video game console. And Animal Crossing.
Surprising absolutely no one, I spent something like five hours playing Animal Crossing today.
Which is fine, it's the start of a long weekend, but tomorrow I do in fact have actual things to do. (I also have a protracted ride on public transit due to my car place being in Watertown, so I'm going to try to confine "yay Animal Crossing" to "being on the T.")
This was my reward to myself for my first pro sale-- while in general the writing money is not meant to be exclusively for toys, prior to the pandemic I was playing with Mathfriend's Switch enough to have decided I really wanted my own.
Ever so slowly, my metamorphosis into a gamer edges towards completion.
(Though I am getting a lot of my game choices from "Gaming for a Non-Gamer"-- a while back, a YouTuber who goes by Razbuten did an experiment and made his non-gamer wife play some video games without giving her any assistance or instructions as a way of testing how the language of video games is passed on. He's kept up the series, and I am to some degree basing my game choices on "Which ones did Razbuten's wife like." Which is how I wound up with Animal Crossing.)
