Why is the Switch's HDMI cord so fat and...idk the word I'm looking for...less malleable/flexible? stern? It's fat af. They want you to knock it over so you can buy another one.

I think the one that does the most damage in history was the virtual boy. It legit hurt your eyes, and that is worse than anything before or since.

Yeah, it's the virtual boy or RRoD.

I'm pretty sure it uses any HDMI cord you have lying around, so you can easily get a new one for cheap. And I second the Virtual Boy.

The original PS3 boomerang controllers looked really bad.
You had to remove the battery in the N-Gage to switch games. The original PSP Square button loved to get stuck. The Saturn had 2 CPUs and 2 GPUs at a time when nobody knew how to handle multiple cores, so only Sega and Capcom used more than one. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
