Moving house made me realise just how good the Switch 2 is

Portable gaming is the way

There's basically nothing fun about moving house – it's got a reputation for being one of the most stressful parts of life for good reason. I'm trying to buy a flat, and that means all of my stuff just moved into a storage locker until we can complete, and I'm living with my parents while I wait for that seemingly never-to-come moment.

I'm not going to dwell on the packing and moving process, but it all means that my gaming options have shrunk a little. My LG C2 OLED TV is in the self-storage place, along with my Nvidia 5070 Ti gaming PC, so I'm down to just my PS5 Pro with a monitor, and of course my Switch 2.

It's the latter that's been a godsend in the days since moving – being able to play games in handheld mode has always been the main attraction of a Switch or Switch 2 for me, but this has still been a salient reminder of how superb the feature really is.

It's not that I can't ever access the family TV, but being able to game in bed, or on a sofa, or at my desk – however I want, basically – gives the sort of flexibility that comes in clutch when most of your things are in boxes and suitcases.
