From 2017 until, well, now, I spend a considerable amount of mental energy railing against the Nintendo Switch. I say “mental energy” because I never got into heated online debates, and only very rarely got into in-person debates about the console. Most of my thoughts and opinions lived entirely within my mind, expressed to only a handful of people.
And yet here I am, in April of 2020, to tell you that I have had a Switch in my home for almost two months now.
And I love it
So what changed all of a sudden? How did I go from “railing” against it to falling in love with it? The quick and dirty explanation is that I am a human being, and like most human beings, I had some opinions that were hypocritical and poorly thought out. Once I identified this and reassessed, my mind was changed.
