It's opposition research.

I can finally play Smash again on Monday. And Zelda. It's been killing me, but the Switch has finally been shipped back from the repair facility.

The video signal on my Wii is blinkering. I've already switched out all the cables so the problem's in the box. I'll have to put it in for repair.

I can't justify buying a Switch yet, too expensive with too few games and no VC for older games. I will die on that hill.

I already has more games than the Wii U had in its entire lifetime. Lack of VC is annoying though (there are NES games on it but they're pretty old!)

I can play all the old games on my Raspberry Pi, so I don't let the VC issue bother me too much. But it is admittedly annoying having to maintain a separate system and switch inputs instead of having it all in one place.

I saw a rumour that Retroarch is coming to Xbox One though, which would solve that particular problem for me. (Off topic, I know)

You should write a strongly worded letter.

One of the words should be "FROMAGE!"

So far, I have:
"FROMAGE!"
"kansas"
"Pop tarts"
" :wallbang: "

I think that should just about cover things. They will rue this day.

"Fish" should also be included.

Added. I also wrote "butts" because I got carried away in the moment.

But more importantly. In 12 short hours, I'll only be about 8 hours away from having my Nintendo back, safely in its dock, ready for some Smash.

After typing that last post, I thought it was important to add. I did NOT write "fish butts." I wrote "fish" on one line, and then "butts" on the next.

Yes, "fish butts" would have just been silly. It would have ruined the tone of the whole letter.
