It's actually pretty easy to fix your kickstand, you just go between the metal parts and the plastic holding them with a small screwdriver or card and bend them a little, just like that it's good like new. The issue is that the kickstand is held in with little metal prongs and as you use it more they start to bend in and don't hold, but bending them out fixes it.
okay how do you recommend fixing this? lol

there just
is no kickstand

handheld with motion is really fun though, but you basically have to have a high sens or else you'll be turning the switch so far that the screen isn't facing you anymore and then you can't see

TV (monitor technically since I have it set up at my PC with two monitors and an HDMI switch) with motion (pro controller) but I actually did play a lot of handheld with motion early on and found it to feel very fun when I was standing up and could physically turn my whole body, lol. It actually felt very natural and this was also the only way I could beat Target Town in the beginning.

TV/Tabletop with motion. My one quirk is that I prefer Joy-Cons over a Pro Controller.

Sticks handheld. Not only is it more convenient (I have to go down to the basement if I want to play on a TV, and I don't have a good setup anywhere else), but I've honestly found it INCREDIBLY overwhelming to do motion controls. It's unfortunate, as I would like to use them, but basically the instant I try and make myself, I lose focus completely and struggle to even do things unrelated to motion. It's just more comfortable to use sticks handheld imo! I think I do fairly well for myself without motion controls tbh, but I'm also strictly a casual player ("Casual" in the sense of "not on a competitive team/trying to be on one", I am by no means "casual" when it comes to the sheer hours I put into the game) so I don't really need to be better than I am lol

I hope you’re eventually able to learn motion! Though, it can be awkward if you also play handheld, so it’s fair enough that you might find it a bit overwhelming. I will say handheld motion is easily the hardest control combo.

Honestly I hope so too, but at this point I don't really have any major hopes of being able to get over the sense of being overwhelmed. I think things would be easier if I got a pro controller (Or stole back my JoyCon connectors from my sister... they have MY last name on it and not her married name I KNOW they're mine WHY ARE THEY AT HER HOUSE!!!), since part of my disorientation is the unevenness in my hands and not finding my "balance", essentially, but getting a pro controller isn't in the cards for me right now </3

If I ever manage to learn motion controls I'm DEFINITELY going back to Splatlings though. I literally have over 100 wins on Hydra but the already tough learning curve of Splatlings is made DOUBLY so by having worse aim </3 I miss her (<Weapon I could go back and play literally any time)

Reading all these, I didn't realise handheld with motion was such a weird way to play? I found it very comfortable and had noticed little if any differences at all. Like I dont even remember turning around much back when I used it and I had my motion set to default. Ah, but I am a handheld gamer at heart, so maybe it's just me.

Augh I wanna go back

Well, it’s a bit odd to have to rotate your screen around in order to aim effectively, isn’t it? I’ve always preferred tabletop over handheld, though, so it’s entirely possible that I’m just biased.

I play tabletop with my switch set up in a stand on my desk. I have the oled switch so the kickstand is really good but i find an external stand works better for me especially because its more adjustable. The oled screen is also just way better for handheld and tabletop than the og switch. TV is too overwhelming and i genuinely cant see it well. Im nearsighted so taking my glasses off and playing tabletop is more optimal than TV with glasses on cos the glare on my glasses is also distracting.
