    I use to wonder the same thing with the GF when it came to Zelda. It always seemed she was in a part of the game she couldn’t pause.

    One day she showed me the game play and I couldn’t believe the amount of loading and dialog scenes that modern games sit through these days.

      What she hasn’t told you is the Switch can go in sleep mode and pick up right where she left off at any time

        Ha that I suspected but I’m the same way. I wanted to finish what I was in the middle of. Mind you there was no sleep mode on my Sega. At least with the emulators you can save state now.

        Every console does now tbf

        Switch is so beyond long in the tooth at this point. Frankly, I couldn’t believe they released the OLED version with a straight face. Literally no performance improvements and still the same drift-prone janky joycons. They had the stones to brag about adding an ethernet port lol
