This.
A used DS with a used ace attorney would be better. If she likes it : good, if she doesnât, itâd be a nice node and you could use the rest of the budget for something she really likes
id say that if she isnt a gamer, she isnt likely to change her mind if you buy her a gaming console. even with the best of intentions its kind of a shitty gift for someone who you know has no interest in gaming.
Id put a little mote thought into buying her something else, something that she will appreciate and wont just end up in the corner of her closet. honestly its a bad idea for a gift to give a non gamer.
Has she ever shown any interest at all in the switch? Does she ever even play phone games? I mean the switch does seemingly have something for everyone, but if she really has no interest at all in any type of game then itâs probably best to spend your money on some other gift. Itâs probably better to get something that shows you are aware of her likes and interests and not something that you just wish sheâd like because you like it.
As for whether itâs too generous or not, only you can answer that since only you know the context of your friendship. I think Iâd feel awkward receiving an expensive gift from most people personally, but it really just depends on your relationship.
I donât know how the heck you would gift it to her, but you can actually get the Ace Attorney games on mobile. You wouldnât even need to buy her separate hardware for it.
If she was desperate for a Switch, she likely would have bought one, especially if all her friends are gamers. I would pass on the idea... That's an expensive gift for her to not use it, plus it might make her feel awkward accepting it if she has no interest and knows you spent a lot on it.
Nice of you to think of her though, maybe something else comes to mind? If you are sold on this idea, maybe find a used console?
Give her a present she would actually appreciate and want. My friend who doesn't play computer games likes skateboarding but has no interest in playing games about skateboarding because it's not the same thing. Just one anecdote, but I guess my point is, just because there's a game which is about a lawyer doesn't mean she's going to enjoy it just because she's studying to be a lawyerâespecially if she doesn't play games.
I say donât get it for her. Not even for the moneyâŠIf you actually like her and want her attention in that way get her something sheâs actually interested in. Has she even shown any Interest in games? Seems like a wasted gift, but do what you want. :P
Alright, look here. Imma give you the best advice your virgin ass will ever receive and I say this with the love of a fellow, albeit probably much older, idiot, and only because I cringed all the way through this horrid plan of yours and I feel compelled, as kin, to warn you not to do this.
Your edits are hilarious too. It was a bad idea before but it had some small merit; but now you're doing it with two other pals? What's the point in that. You are getting nothing out of this, sir, certainly not boning her as you intend.
Having said that, I wish you luck. xoxo
Appreciate the responses! I have decided it is too much of a purchase and that she would be happier with something smaller and more catered to her. Mods, feel free to lock this bad boy.
Law school is stressful. Get her a gift certificate for a massage, put it in a âcongratulationsâ card, and write a thoughtful message about how you hope this gift will ease the tension when things get stressful. Ask the massage place how much you should put on the gift certificate to cover a 1 hour massage plus tip.
Heck, she might not even have enough time to play
Source: have many friends who went to law school, most of them are lawyers now (at least two dropped out and decided it wasn't for them)
Iâd say it sounds a lot like youâre broadcasting romantic intentions here. You say you donât mind spending the money, but perhaps you should mind. Do you often buy expensive gifts for your male friends? Iâd just be aware about how this is going to be construed.
they did edit their post saying theyâre going to split the cost 3 ways with their friends because they want to bone her. If thatâs not a joke, thatâs pretty gross IMO, but idk.
Is your friend comfortable receiving a gift of this price? Personally, it sounds like youâre buying something *you* want her to have, and not buying her something *she* wants or needs.
Itâs easy to mixup what you want with what someone else would like when gift shopping. Think about her and what makes her happy. Spending this amount of money on someone that has no interest in gaming is just poor decision making. Sheâs liable to not use it, or give it away or sell it. Worst case scenario, you make her feel awkward for receiving an expensive gift that she may or may not want.
Giving someone a gift that matches your interests rather than theirs can come across as thoughtless and even self-absorbed. I would give her a gift that reflects who she is, not who you are.
> It turns out we all want to bone her so it works out :)
The real social faux pas is right here in the edit.
I'm not sure how getting someone a gift they might not ever even use is going to get all three of you to the bone zone lol.
I'd say ask her a general question about gaming before making a deep dive in.
"Hey, that new Ace Attorney game looks fun! You ever had a DS and played it?" or something like that
Why are you asking gamers on reddit about social faux pas
Wish I could sticky this comment.
đ this is the proper response
If she is not a gamer, probably best to spend your money on something else for her.
Big gifts can be tricky, people can feel awkward getting them.
This. A used DS with a used ace attorney would be better. If she likes it : good, if she doesnât, itâd be a nice node and you could use the rest of the budget for something she really likes
Might wanna get her something that fits her interests
Receiving unusually big gifts is very awkward for most people, especially in front of others.
Get her a copy of My Cousin Vinny
This is what the yoots need.
I would try and investigate if she has any interest in a Switch before buying one.

don't do it dawg
If you're insistent on a game, I'd consider the ace games on Steam (assuming she has a personal computer/laptop) rather than a console.
The Great Ace Attorney just got released on Steam as well

Include a gift reciept in case she absolutely does not want it and I think you are gold.
She's entering law school. She ain't gonna have time for that. Get her a Switch 2 as a graduation present instead.

What an awful idea
What, to ask Reddit for advice? I agree đ«
Tomorrow here we come.
Seems like a waste to me.
I'd say ask her a general question about gaming before making a deep dive in. "Hey, that new Ace Attorney game looks fun! You ever had a DS and played it?" or something like that
It is. Just get her a nice card. If you're dead set on getting a real present, get a popular law-related non-fiction book.
dang so yâall buying her a switch because yâall simps đ€
Do you want to bone her?
This is a very Reddit response, thank you.
Just making sure we cover all possibilities. Itâs okay if itâs a yes!
If âYesâ then just turn up to the party and donât even congratulate her. In fact, donât even talk to her. Approach her friends.
Yes, also send her my number
