For many people, Prime Day is all about buying cool new phones or games and whatnot

For me, it's all about replacing the flash drive that's legally an adult now

Now that Switch 2 pre-orders are (or... were?) live, don't forget to grab some accessories for your new console.

It's especially important to get a microSD Express card, as your original Switch probablyyyy doesn't have one in it already.

So we have a buyer's guide to help you pick the best one 🙂

The Nintendo Switch 2 is very particular about the kind of microSD card you use to expand its storage.

back up your save data, don't just trust PS+ or Steam Cloud. just in case something happens to them or your subscription or a server explodes. actually, back up all your data while you're at it

well unless you have a Switch. you're just out of luck there

Tea rules because you can get 100 bags of decent quality for a couple bucks or 20 bags from distant shores hand selected by the bearded tea master of the forbidden mountains and it’s like 8 bucks
