So, I ended up splurging on something I had my heart set on for a long, long time… a Nintendo Switch + Breath of the Wild.  I’ve basically just set up the Switch and made sure everything was working and will actually seriously start playing in a week, but in the short time I have been playing, I have managed to–

• Accidentally have Link fall off a cliff
• Accidentally have Link fall off the Plateau Tower
• Botch my first cooking attempt in an incredibly spectacular manner
• Feel so guilty over having Link steal eggs from a bird’s nest that I reloaded my save (I love birbs too much to go through with that…)
• Mistake the Old Man for a wild boar and shot like a dozen arrows at him before realizing “Oops, that’s not the boar…” (In my defense, his cloak was the same color as the boar’s hide…)

…So yes.  It’s a learning curve.  But a fun one.

I’ll probably be getting Super Mario Odyssey soon-ish, and the eventual Pokémon game, of course.  Splatoon looks interesting, but I have absolutely no knowledge of what it is at all apart from the fact that there are Inklings and Squids.  So… what exactly is Splatoon, for anyone out there who’s played it?
