Today, I got in the mail my blood test results, after having one last month. I apparently have forgotten about last year's results, so I needed to do a comparison (full version not shown for privacy purposes):
See, sometimes I exercise, in part with the help of certain video games on my CFW/Atmosphere-loaded Nintendo Switch (only Jump Rope Challenge for now, but not done every day; maybe I should increase how often I play this game). Unfortunately, I think that I just might not be doing enough per day, even while staying at home! Because of the computer work I do every day, including my personal projects, I often don't make much time for actual exercise, except for when my mom calls me to take a walk with her.
My next solution? I heard about Ring Fit Adventure, and thought I could get a good workout with this game, but unfortunately, I learned that the Ring-Con accessory required to play this game isn't a simple plastic ring that I could replicate with at-home materials. The Ring-Con contains special electronics loaded with sensors that interface with a Joy-Con, that this game reads data from; definitely not something I can DIY with at-home materials!
The $79.99 cost of a new Ring Fit Adventure package, including the physical cartridge, and Ring-Con, is currently out of my reach (based on necessity, and cost). $20 more than a standard 1st-party Nintendo Switch game, most of which I can install and play without additional accessories via CFW.
Unless I commit myself to more physical exercise (and sacrificing more computer time to make room), I really hate it when I'm forced to make some unhealthy choices due to being low on money (such as eating more junk food instead of fruits and vegetables just because the former are cheaper than the latter, but this is just an example). I wish I could combine exercise and video games more often for better motivation, but I guess my only choice to suck it up when I'm low on money (I have access to more, but my mom doesn't allow me to use it for whatever too often).
(I'll be making another forum topic asking about how I can play Ring Fit Adventure without having to buy additional hardware, assuming that I have gotten the game via XCI or NSP, later on)
