as a mac and nintendo switch user my options for games are slightly restricted… but who needs to play the last of us when you can just watch markiplier do it?

Echoing what's already been said. Here are some specific recs and why:
SWITCH OLED—get this if you like Nintendo games, party games, and having friends over to play games. Yes, "Switch 2" is likely to be announced later this year or early next year, but there is always something "better" around the corner. Get what you want to play now. The Switch OLED will have a good resell value if you decide to upgrade when the next console drops.
PLAYSTATION 5 W/ DISC PLAYER—get this if you want to play Big Games with Big Graphics and/or if you want to play online multiplayer. The disc player is good for buying physical games that you can resell, but I like it because it's also a 4K Blu-ray player so I can also watch my movies that I own on disc.
STEAM DECK OLED—get this if you want PC gaming without building/buy an expensive PC. You won't be able to play the latest and greatest Big Games with Big Graphics but you'll have nearly full access to the wild and weird world of indie games. You'll be able to sample the most with this one. The Steam Deck is mostly a handheld, but you can plug it into a bigger screen or tv easily.
I linked to places to buy new, but buying used is absolutely an option!

If you wanna play games like Mario, Pokémon, Kirby, or The Legend of Zelda, or if you enjoy multiplayer games with people in the same room, the Nintendo Switch is the choice. However, keep in mind that the Switch 2 is expected to be announced between now and April 2025. This means the price of the original Switch will likely drop, making it a good time to upgrade from the Lite (and there may be backward compatibility, so waiting could be beneficial)
But if you're looking for games with high-end graphics, big adventures, and more online multiplayer options, etc, and you don't mind missing out on Nintendo titles, I recommend choosing a PlayStation over an Xbox because their exclusives are better imo. However, Xbox consoles tend to be cheaper. If you have the option, get the disc version of either console so you can sell your games once you’re done with them. With digital games, you only purchase a license and don’t technically own them (which is something I feel strongly about lol)

if you get one. There's no downside investing in one since Xbox and many Playstation games come to PC. Having a Switch and a Steam Deck means you can play almost whatever you want.

idk if this would actually be considered a “bit” but before i realized i was a lesbian i used to do this thing on hinge where i would ask guys for their spotify username and then once they sent it i’d unmatch them almost immediately so that they’d think their music taste was so foul it sent me running
