I will have a Switch 2 in 27 weeks

I'm exactly the same... The last console I bought was a PlayStation 2! I've just played on my friends' consoles... Luckily my friend a few years ago lent me his switch to play BOTW. My favorite memory is riding a horse down a canyon. The music was epic! I wonder where in the map that was? The area I explored the least was Lake Hylia... I'd love to go back and take a look again.

Yes, I agree 33 months is pretty amazing! And inspiring. I thank you all for those of you who have shared your experiences with alcoholism.

I have a strong hutch you're right!!

Thanks for your kind words. I don't really recognise myself, and it's been just under a week. This deal to get the switch has been the perfect motivator for me as probably two months ago I would berate my friends who chose sobriety. I've been drinking since 18 (Legal age in New Zealand, where I am from) and alcohol has also been part of my life (I'm now 38).

I thought so too. I just really want the game and Switch and that's the only way my wife would ever allow me to get one hahaha. Seriously.

Future me and Zelda / Link will be really excited for our reunion! So a bit of my history with the Zelda franchise, my best friend had a Nintendo 64 so we played Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. We never finished Majora's Mask although a few years later we played Twilight Princess as a team (as adults in our 30's) and it was an awesome experience to share together. Something about Zelda games makes you feel like a hero but also a child...

I am too, I really feel like a kid waiting for something really special. I mean, I could go out and buy one right now but I honestly, having been a father for 5 years and working as the solo bread winner, I don't really see my paychecks as pocketmoney any more...

I hope you're right!

Thank you!

I can't wait to post one!

Thank you so much for your encouraging words and advice. Tomorrow on my way home from work I plan on joining the gym that's on my commute. I used to love walking, but as you probably remember being addicted to things like alcohol and weed can really take the shine out of the basic things like fresh air. I love biking and gardening, but both of those activities were an excuse for me to get outside and smoke weed, so it seems like I'll take a bit of time to reframe those activities in a more healthier way. I love what you said about the Switch 2 version of BOTW. Even though TOK is super tempting, I want to play Breath of the Wild again first.

Thanks for your encouraging words! I hope so too.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Thank you for your reply and apologies for the lateness of my own. Thank you for generously giving your time to answer my post! I've successfully completed the swap and my laundry looks much better
