So I took my switch out this morning to play some Mario Kart and noticed this little dent on my switch, on the front of the system to the right on the side that isn't part of the screen. I have a picture as well. It's the bottom middle of the picture. Is this Removable or do I have to stick with this forever? It's pretty small but I'm one of those overly sensitive people who feel a little nervous seeing a scratch on a system they only owned for a month or forever.

I've treated mine very gingerly and have been lucky to not scratch it. Got a tempered glass screen protector, a shell for handheld use, I dock the switch with a stand and a USB c extension cable, and anytime I take it out I use a carrying case. you can't really fix it, but replacement shells for both the switch and joycon are already popping up on AliExpress, so in the future if it gets too bad you can replace it.

Is the screen tougher than the shell and less prone to scratches?
Probably a bit stronger than the wii u game pad and 3ds screens, unless they used better ones in the newer systems, New 2ds xl. Still I found this if anyone didn't know if the dock thing was a problem. I haven't had problems with my dock but I got some mystery scratches, and wonder if is something related to collected dust trash of some kind in my room.

Damn that sucks. I have been rough with my switch (not on purpose) and its still in pristine condition.. I guess it must be a rare build.. Must list it for 12000 on ebay..

I'd be willing to bet I could find a small scratch or two on your system(s).

Pfft like i would let anyone near this rare machine!

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
