Hey Steve I love the switch too. I hope you can get some help and feel better without one though. Until you can afford one at least. I feel you on the medical expenses, they really add up. Going through something similar right now with a loved one

Seems like there are more important things you need before a Switch


Maybe a game boy advance?

I'd say maybe goto fiverr, and see if you can apply your skills to that site. As it's very easy to make money there.

Hey Steve,

How was your Switch stolen? Do you still have some games at least or was everything with it in like a carrying case?

I cannot help you much except by saying that I understand your need to play video games when going through hard times. Hope you'll have another one really soon to get back to business!

First things first: see if you can get a refill on your medication. Second, I see by your post history you have a PS4. Just play that in the meantime or trade it in for a Switch.

Ok well switch should be the bottom of that priority list then. I feel for you but asking for a switch here is not how to handle this.

I'm not quite sure he's literally asking for someone here to give him a Switch.

I think it's more on the support side of things. I can understand how it could be interpreted like that though, but notice how our friend here struggles with english a bit.

Anyone else enter the thread half expecting it to be about passive aggressive phrasing in work emails?

I look forward to your response

Jeff

Ps I wish you well OP, it sounds like you are in a tough spot but I don't think outright asking for help buying a games console is going to help too much sadly

I think people are genuinely trying to help.

But like, you also can't / shouldn't expect that somebody will buy a random person on a forum a video game console.
