Switch Fan Switch

 Story time! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! That's what we had to deal with while playing our Nintendo Switch. We used to be able to Han Solo it, that is... smack it on the side, and the buzzing would stop. But recently that stopped working. And the buzzing was annoying enough to do something about it.

The whole fan area is a little smashed, if you can tell. There were a few plastic pieces here, that are now missing. I don't remember dropping it or anything, it's just a launch-day-old thing that just got brittle over the years. We looked up "buzzing Switch" and The Internet told us we could handle replacing the cooling fan. How did that go? Let's find out!

Surface Pictures

 Random pics again. With fun comments again.

Um... What? I was stunned at the technology advancement that this text on this door handle implies. Are there really microscopic nano robots crawling on this surface to clean it?! Am I going to crush them if I grab this handle? What year is this? Am I in the future?

LVII = 57

Can you believe this was last weekend? I watched "The Big Game" and took a few pictures of the TV to help discuss what I saw. To be clear, I'm not discussing my accounts of the game. That's prohibited without the consent of the NFL. Also, to be clear, my discussing of the game might count as free promotion of it, so too bad for them.

I actually watched a fair amount of football this year. Some people think it's "complicated" and maybe it kinda is, but that's also what helps make it so strategic and interesting. But thankfully this one game also has the benefit of attracting companies to run ads of the highest caliber. So a lot of viewers are here oddly enough for the commercials, and not the game. And I can comment on those without NFL consent, right?

Valentine's

The merchandise for this day of celebrating love is a mixture of sweetness, genuine sentimentality, and... crushing guilt. I got a bunch of pictures for it, to poke fun at, so if you're one of those people who can't really celebrate Valentine's Day, at least enjoy some funny picture comments. And if you haven't bought something yet, you might be in trouble!

Planet-themed plushies. The Saturn one says "Put a ring on it!" because Saturn has rings on it. But also... Yowza! No pressure! If you give this to somebody, does that count as a wedding proposal?! This could easily the best Valentine's Day gift... or the worst.

Brickfest part 2

 Even though it was a lot smaller than we expected, there's still a bunch of pictures we got from the Brickfest event.

This looks almost like a video pixels screen, but it's a giant Lego brick model. Is it bad of me to not know if this is from anything? Is it from a game or movie? You may have heard of Lego models referred to as a MOC, which stands for My Own Creation. So it could be somebody's original MOC.

Brick Fest Live!

 Brickfest! An actual "adventure day"! Lego bricks and stuff galore. We went to see what's up, so of course I'm going to get pictures to share.

Not quite sure why its's called "Brick Fest Live". Since these pictures are from a while ago, it's no longer "live". Also, the event schedule is a scan code. It's your fault if you are the only person who doesn't have a device to decode the dots thing. It's been a while since we've been to a convention, is that normal now?
