ugh

I wish I could hit a reset button on this year. It's gotten off to a terrible start for me.

As if injuring my arm last week wasn't bloody awful on its own, today my Switch seems to have randomly died -- even though it was working just fine just last night. The screen went black and stayed that way when I was booting up a game like usual, pressing the home button didn't do anything, going from TV mode to handheld mode didn't do anything, and after turning it off it's refused to turn back on again at all. That'll be several hundred hours worth of progress in Fire Emblem and Zelda and Pokémon gone...

NEXT DAY ETA: Looks like my Switch works again now! I didn't lose entire playthroughs' worth of progress after all! Still, I really could've done without that unnecessary stress!

Oh, that SUCKS! D: Is there anyone you could call for tech support? Maybe they just need to look inside and fix some mechanism?

The bad news is, if only it was as easy as being able to call tech support people round to wave a magic spanner to fix consoles...

The good news is, my Switch works again now! Dunno what the hell happened with it yesterday, but after it seemingly ran its battery out overnight while "dead" and I charged it again this morning, it seems to be back to normal! I didn't lose thousands of hours of progress after all! (Thank God, because I wouldn't have had any heart to play any more Switch Pokémon games if I'd lost everything...)

Ohhh. D: I thought maybe there was someone in your area who could at least look at it.

Oh, good! I'm so glad to hear that. That actually happened with my Switch a while back, the battery ran out and it wouldn't charge up again until it'd been plugged in for a while.
