Everyone here should remember the run-up to Christmas last year on the other site, when I finally got my Switch. This year, the missus asked for me to kinda tone things down a bit and not spend as much on myself, and casually recommended I stay under $200 for my gifts this year (the last couple of years I've spent close to $500 each year on just my gifts alone).

So, here's my semi-final Christmas Haul this year, as far as Switch games go (all are physical except for MK Aftermath):

SF 30th Anniversary Edition
Puyo Puyo Tetris
MK Aftermath
Paper Mario: The Origami King
Fire Emblem Encore FE#
Streets of Rage 4

The only thing I really paid "full-price" for was MK Aftermath, and even then; I bought it at Walmart; so technically not full price. I may use Gamefly's used section once more before the holidays end, as there were a couple of other games I wanted outside of the last three on the list (bought from them). I may also buy Dragon Quest XI brand new as well from Walmart, barring Amazon/Best Buy putting the Switch version of the Definitive Edition on sale for Black Friday.

also @iStu X- since you were looking for Switch codes to append to the OP, mine is SW-1955-7206-6697.
 
Edit: just checked my Switch and I already bought SoR4. **FUCK**

I will check into that very soon and let you know.

I think with this post here, we surpassed the total amount of posts in this thread that were at the other place overall. 

I'm formerly MikeOHara on SRK, chose the new tag for something completely different.

So, something I've kinda kept hidden ... I bought a Stadia controller last month to give the service a fair shot. I'll get into more detail in the Technology thread, but I ended up cancelling my Pro-level subscription to the service over monetary issues (tl;dr: money was coming out of our shared checking acct, not the business acct). Couple of decent games on the service, but I wish the service was kinda cheaper/could bundle it with other Google services (Youtube Premium being chief amongst them) to save money on the service.

I do apologize, typical old man kneejerk reaction stuff. I did read a piece earlier from Barron's regarding the nature of the complaint that broke it down a lot better. The piece also stated that close to 35% of Google's overall search traffic requests this past year was from iOS if I remember the article correctly. (if that is indeed the case, then the following meme definitely applies): 

Finally got it in today, the double clicking on the G502 I had was getting out of control. There's an debounce time option in the Model D software to adjust the sensitivity of double-clicks on the device and save it to the on-board memory. I plan on taking apart the G502 this weekend and seeing if I can get the double clicks to stop via liberal use of contact cleaner. 

No prob. Enjoy the laptop if you get it, that's all I ask.

Based on a real brief search, there seems to be an option to add a second nVME drive (it's a drive that looks like a large ass stick of gum basically) to the laptop along with the option for a 2.5in drive as you previously stated. Here are the instructions for putting that together based on the model number that came up from your link:

Expanded out my techtuber subscriber list, it's currently got the following:
 
MKBHD
UrAvgConsumer
JerryRigEverything

iJustine
SuperSaf

So, everything worked out fine with the G502. But I am still having issues with it in Windows, specifically the double clicking and dragging are getting to be a nuisance with it. Once the Model D gets here, I'm gonna take the G502 apart and clean it; then it'll be relegated to laptop duty with no G Hub software installed.

I would love to see VF5:FS get a remaster/rerelease for modern consoles (Series X/PS5), however I don't see that happening. I also would like to see any version of VF5 come out on PC without having to resort to emulation or pulling out my 360/PS3 in order to play it.

My total Prime Day haul was a new Fire tablet for the missus, in that Plum color. I'm more than likely done until November 1st, when I've got to pay for a lot of FGC stuff my wife has asked for this year. She's asked for some new stuff from Junk Food Arcades along with the parts to put something together, and stick art. I have an artist in mind for the art, and he does want to take the commission on. It's just the matter of having the money together to do both at the same time, is all.

You were right! It was defaulting to G Hub, so I enabled the hardware profile and copied my desktop profile over. I have some client work in a couple of hours, I'll let you know what happens in that regard.
