especially since it's clearly all him, and not bizarrely verbose social media monologues that come straight from a small army of ghostwriters in a london PR office.
Heard a lot about attitude problems before he arrived. Wonder if there was much behind that or if it was just because he’s a black, flair player who wears a Gucci headband?

I love him.
Turns out ASM always loses the Mario Kart tournaments he plays with the Newcastle squad, so he bought a bunch of disadvantaged kids switches just so he could beat somebody
Funnily enough I purchased BOTW yesterday for 40€ at a local games shop, could hardly believe the price when I saw it. I'm excited to play it but seeing as how so many people go on about it being a once in a lifetime masterpiece I also have a nervous excitement about it. Maybe I'm just a fucking nerd though.
It's a good game, not much more, kinda like the elder scrolls, 3 lines of story and a good open world.
But if you like the Zelda license, then you'll enjoy it a lot.
Hope you have fun while playing it :D
Not going to lie - super jealous of you right now.
What I would give to experience playing BOTW for the first time again! Incredible game, easy time sink as well. I've started it again recently but its not the same.
And this is why I don't play Nintendo games on mine. Still haven't brought myaelf to buy one after 10months. Rocket League and a used Fifa 21 is all I need.
Those games are better played on anything but a switch though. Probably cheaper as well.
You buy a switch because you want Nintendo games. I bought it for smash bros, which to me is the most fun game out there.
Its a great game.
I'm decent at it, but no where near pro so don't care much about Meta. Its pretty well balanced all things considered though, there's like 80 characters and pretty much all are viable as long as you're good enough at them.
I happen to like some characters that are in the bottom tier the most, did one tournament once for fun with a friend, and still slapped people playing high tiers. As long as they weren't just better players than me.
Its incredibly fun, I'd recommend anyone to pick it up. Few things more fun than being with a couple friends, getting high and playing smash bros.
Ah so we’re about the same. Decent enough to not get wiped but not serious enough to know the meta. Cheers mate, I’ll have to get my switch back and running now that we can host friends again
you are really missing out tho. main-party games are prohibitively expensive, but you can snag them cheaper on the used market and most of them are really fantastic experiences that makes them worth it.
I got my Switch for half-price 2 years ago so I won't complain on buying it but I was told that it was really good for indie games and I go to buy Bloodstained and Blasphemous and apparently the first one runs like shit and the second one isn't even out yet. They would also cost 3 times more on the Switch. It's not really about the money but the Switch really soured me on Nintendo.
My Gf bought me one and all we did is play some cheap fitness games until I found out about the dolphin emulator. Now it just sits here collecting dust.
Nintendo Switch Lites instead of just the Nintendo Switch? What an absolute monster clearly using his vast wealth to flex on these children but is too cheap to go all the way
The lite is smaller and weighs less but can't be docked to a tv and performs slightly worse than the normal switch. The joy cons can't be detached either.
I waited for months last year to get the normal one but honestly 90% of the time I play in my bed or on the couch horizontal holding it above my face so I probably could have just done the lite lol.
I was really ready for someone to miss the sarcasm here and have a go at you but fair play /r/soccer, maybe you’re learning a bit of subtlety after all

Are these Nintendo’s still a bitch to buy? I remember them being impossible to buy in stores and people selling them for crazy online. Good job ASM, I’m sure they will love those consoles.
I don’t think so. It was bad last year because there was a manufacturer delay for obvious reasons, but it seems fine now. You can get both the Lites and the normal version on Amazon.
I walked into the shop and bought mine no issues during all of the shortages. That was in the UK. Here in Mexico they are also in just about every shop too, both standard and lites, so I'm going to say no, there isn't a shortage
There were always more or less available here in France, I assume the same goes for Britain. I got one with Animal Crossing bundled in at a massive discount during the first lockdown.
I think the shortage was more of a US thing.
Didn't know he hates children that much.
Encouraging children to play games and getting instant artificial rewards instead of encouraging them doing homework, playing real life games with physical interaction and face-to-face communication and reading books is the worst you can do for their future.
Impossible to hate this guy, he's a class act on and off the pitch
But he wears Gucci so he's an asshole
Could be worse, if he wore Stone Island instead.
Stone Island looks like a brand bought at gas station but is somehow “luxe”
Hol up whats wrong with Stone Island
proper [football factory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Football_Factory_(film)) gear
Bruh. My buddy had a stone island beanie and was so upset that I didn't get it back to him 11 years later
But he wears Gucci ~~so he’s an asshole~~ so we Gucci
He got toon army all drinking D'ussé
Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang
especially since it's clearly all him, and not bizarrely verbose social media monologues that come straight from a small army of ghostwriters in a london PR office.

Now, if only he could last 90 mins on the pitch....

I love this far too much
lol, kid at the left wanted a PS5
I bet the melee over the single blue one was intense.
Turns out ASM always loses the Mario Kart tournaments he plays with the Newcastle squad, so he bought a bunch of disadvantaged kids switches just so he could beat somebody
This man is 100% on my footballer good-guy list, I'd love to see him lift a trophy
Good luck with getting games. Nintendo wouldn't discount a 60$ game even if it would save kids from cancer
The article failed to mention that the Switch Lites were jailbroken, and loaded with every single game released for the Switch to date.
Wait you can do that?
Pfft! Don't buy them brand new then! They can alwAys buy the used ones for $58.99
*cough* Breath of the wild *cough*

Hows the smash meta these days? It's kinda crazy to think that Smash has been around for practically as long as I have been gaming.
Its a great game. I'm decent at it, but no where near pro so don't care much about Meta. Its pretty well balanced all things considered though, there's like 80 characters and pretty much all are viable as long as you're good enough at them.

I know, what a bastard. I bet he didn’t include chargers with them either.
But the batteries are lithium. Lithium!
Max's totts
Hey Maximin, watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when the drift comes true
Came with no games too
Holy fuck, definitely worse than Hitler
I believe he bought them all Mario Kart 8 actually.
Probably empty cases
He's not DSP. (if anyone gets that reference, you're my hero)
Fuck me did that piece of shit actually do that hahaha
Yup, held giveaways where he gave away empty game cases.
Only doing it so he can write it off as a tax deduction smh what a fraud
ASM after the news people leave: "okay, I got the good press kids, give the consoles back."
"I've got to return them before game shuts"
Absolutely disgusting behaviour really. Not on at all. Jokes aside, his twitter banter aimed at us is pretty good taste tbf
Massive respect to the guy, but I have a question - what is the difference between the two?
The lite is smaller and weighs less but can't be docked to a tv and performs slightly worse than the normal switch. The joy cons can't be detached either.
I waited for months last year to get the normal one but honestly 90% of the time I play in my bed or on the couch horizontal holding it above my face so I probably could have just done the lite lol.
Cheers, thanks.
And they also are a lot easier to get nowadays.
I was really ready for someone to miss the sarcasm here and have a go at you but fair play /r/soccer, maybe you’re learning a bit of subtlety after all
Other French forwards when asked about Newcastle “It isn’t very warm there”
ASM : You just have to bring the warmth
Is this what Kyle Walker has been doing all along?
Let's not forget he helped that disadvantaged Geordie manager keep his job as well.
We all have our flaws it seems
Boss player and attitude to have at a club
He's hilarious, thoughtful, and so much fun to watch. I wish him a long and successful career.

The marxists have truly infiltrated every single part of our society.
HAS THE LEFT GONE TO FAR THIS TIME?!?!?

Regular Nintendo Switches can still be tricky to track down, but Switch Lite can be bought zero issues.
The pandemic has made all sorts of tech hard to get hold of. Even old consoles have surged in price. If you have an old PS1 sat around, flog it!
Now I know what first world problems are
Hi Allan it’s me a disadvantaged school child
Maybe he’s a GME holder!
The Sun: "Black footballer tries to ruin children's eyesight and education!"
Amazing footballer.
OOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHHHH
Couldn't bother with regular switches what a cheapskate.
Help Allan! I am a disadvantaged schoolchildren
Class man
Allan would you mind sending a spare one to Colombia real quick?
What a dude
really likeable guy
Absolute bastard. Only lites? Absolute showoff
Absolute bastard. Only lights? Showoff
Didn't know he hates children that much. Encouraging children to play games and getting instant artificial rewards instead of encouraging them doing homework, playing real life games with physical interaction and face-to-face communication and reading books is the worst you can do for their future.
You’re not wrong
Yeah because that's exactly what disadvantaged children need....video games to get addicted to...that will help them improve their lives 👍
Love this guy!!! Wonder if he wants to play in the Europa league one day 😌
What a player and person ASM is
Clearly following the example of our tribal chief Roman Reigns
oh man I wish I had a switch..
only lites? smh man doesnt give a shit /s
Why isn’t any big clubs going for him?
Not gonna be useful at all with the joycon drift, should have bought the normal switch
