Your lease says you can have one cat - you already have one cat. Unless you're mentally and financially prepared to potentially find a new place to live in short order, I would recommend against violating your lease terms. Or at the very least ask your landlord first.

Methodology is important to a robust result. It's weird that you take issue with their considerations there.

I haven't got very many gigantic third party titles, but nearly my entire Switch library (46 games) fits on the internal storage with 25 GB to spare.

I think the hardware has a lot of promise, but it's fair to say that at this very instant there aren't many exclusives to justify it if you aren't excited about Mario Kart.

If you have a backlog of Switch games, or you have favorites you're frequently playing on Switch, the improved processing power and loading times could be attractive, even if your games don't have resolution/framerate patches. For example, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition loads battles in a snap, and doesn't have any framerate issues during gameplay anymore (although it is still capped at like 30 FPS in cutscenes, sadly.)

There's a couple other neat things about it, but likely not too relevant to anyone who's on the fence about the console.

I did not have Zimbabwean tariff rate hyperinflation on my 2025 bingo card.

Oh this is awesome. I can see so many cool applications for this in wearable electronics and custom form factor batteries. I hope their research into improving the voltage pays off.

They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.
