Wear, Watch, Want #278: The Hungry Pro Gamer Edition

Wear: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

The TV controller (despite being a gamer I don’t know what this is actually called) that comes with the Nintendo Switch is utter trash. They offer a Pro Controller, but it’s $70, and even when it goes on sale, it’s like $5 off. But I liked playing on my TV and I tried the super popular, half-the-price Pro Controller knockoff (currently unavailable, for reasons that will become clear after this aside) and I couldn’t stand the way the buttons clicked. So I kept an eye out on Mercari and eBay for Pro Controllers and got a brand new one for $40. It’s perfect.

Watch: Disney Dreamlight Valley

I am not a person who is more interested in something because it’s Disney. What I’m saying is, a game where I can interact with Disney characters isn’t a draw for me. So Disney Dreamlight Valley was something I saw and moved on from, especially because it was going to be free to play upon official release. That didn’t happen (rude and shady), but it IS on Apple Arcade and it IS incredibly easy to get a free month or more of Apple Arcade, so I’ve been playing Dreamlight Valley on my iPad and I’m obsessed. I’d love to have it on my Switch, but do you know what it would cost to have my free version of Disney Dreamlight Valley on my Switch? $70. SEVENTY HUMAN DOLLARS. So iPad it is.

Want: Food

I’m writing this the day before I have an endoscopy, and I’ve been on a clear liquid diet all day and now I’m drinking that awful prep drink (I put Gatorade in it this time and it does help a little). I want some FOOD. Literally any food — earlier today my mouth watered over some granola.
