Nintendo Switch - 1TB MicroSD Card for $20?


SanDisk 1TB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 120MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUA4-1T00-GN6MA

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My Youtube video above currently got around 15k views. And, there are a lot of comments from Nintendo Switch gamers. Some of them don't believe that you can use a 512GB MicroSD Card and some even bought it and thanking me.

One guy actually wonders why you need so big storage space. Duh, obviously for games. Especially, if you buy and download from the eShop. Yup, in the beginning, there aren't many games, but now, you'll be like a kid in a candy store. I have downloaded so many games that I'm already left with around 100GB.



SanDisk 1TB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 120MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUA4-1T00-GN6MA

I'm thinking of getting a 1TB MicroSD card. Although, I'm not sure if it'll work on my Switch lite. I'm not sure what's the limit. If there's no limit, I'll rather get a 2TB card. Now, I'll have more games than I can play. Imagine, having thousand of games on a Nintendo Switch lite?

I love my fcking Nintendo Switch lite. Even my nephew whom I sold my original Switch wants to sell it off and get a Switch lite. It's much smaller and portable. Obviously, there are advantages and disadvantages. Like not being able to dock and link to a bigger screen Tv or monitor.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

I bought the Zacian and Zamazenta edition. Which is pretty cool. I'm surprised, there isn't any other special edition. The Nintendo Switch and Switch lite are quite popular now. I'm not sure what's the numbers but I think it might already be over 70 million. It was around 50 million sold last year.

To think, there were a lot of naysayers. Even from CEO of Pokemon, who said he didn't think the Nintendo Switch would be successful. I'm waiting for the Call of Duty boss to eat his words. He says COD won't be coming to the Nintendo Switch. When top triple-A games are already on the Switch.



SAMSUNG EVO Select 512GB microSDXC UHS-I U3 100MB/s Full HD & 4K UHD Memory Card with Adapter (MB-ME512HA)

One of the reasons I got myself the 512GB MicroSD card is that a lot of this type of triple-A games are coming to the Switch and they're pretty big in size. Nintendo, really need to upgrade their system. 32GB of internal storage is really peanuts in today's console.

They need at least a minimum of 512GB internal and 2TB of MicroSD card. What with more games coming to the switch. Even smartphones today have those kinds of internal storage space. I also sometimes take pictures and videos using the Switch camera capabilities. So, that can add up too.

Today, somebody commented on my video that he got a 1TB MicroSD card for $20 bucks on Amazon. And, he tests it to be true. This means he didn't get cheated. If it's true, then lucky for him but there are also others that bought a 512GB card only to find out it's fake.

Some Nintendo Switch gamers also had problems using their card. All I can say is, if you're having a problem with the card, return it and ask for a refund. It could be the manufactures fault or it's just fake. That's why only buy from a trusted source.

I actually went to check out on Amazon and there are actually many 1TB cards selling at a dirt-cheap price. Many customers have been complaining that it's fake. Although, there are one or two satisfied customers. I'm not really sure what's going on but Amazon needs to do something about fake sellers.

One thing for sure, I'm really hoping that the latest iteration of the Nintendo Switch has bigger storage space. The games library is definitely getting bigger and who knows there'll also be more apps like the mobile phone available on the Switch.



Seagate Portable 4TB External Hard Drive HDD – USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Xbox, & PS4 - 1-Year Rescue Service (STGX4000400)

One last thing. I wonder if Nintendo can do a system update for both the Nintendo Switch and Switch lite. So that we can download, play and save games on an external HDD or SSD? That will totally solve the storage problems. For Seagate, you can have up to 16TB of storage. Holy cowbell!

Nintendo needs to think far when concerning storage. Like, I've said, there'll be more games coming to the Switch and the games might be bigger in size. Even those Free-to-play games are pretty big in size. I think I'll need to delete those that I'm not playing so that I can download more games.

Unboxing Aftershock custom build gaming pc and Asus vs248 monitor


OMEN 30L Gaming Desktop PC, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Graphics Card, 10th Generation Intel Core i9-10850K Processor, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and 2 TB Hard Drive, Windows 10 Home (GT13-0092, 2020)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Hey dude, if only I have the money. I bought my Aftershock (main website) custom build gaming pc with the Asus vs248 monitor for around $2K, way back in Feb 2017. That's over 3 years ago. The specs was intel i7, 16GB of ram, Gtx 1060 3GB, 109 SSD + 1TB HDD. My HDD died on me the other day. Now, I have to get a new one.

Try comparing that to the latest gaming pc on offer in 2021 at the same price. Just shows within years, the technology has pretty much tripled. One thing for sure, my 'old' gaming pc is still a no-slouch. For my personal use as a Youtuber and blogger, it still runs smoothly without any kind of hiccups. Especially, when editing my videos.

In the old days, when I only had a Pentium PC, it will always hang up whenever I want to make a video for my youtube channel. Sometimes, it will hang up when I opened the Microsoft Moviemaker. There'll be days when half-way through editing the videos and the screen just froze. I'll literally pray that it'll be back to normal or I'll have to re-do everything again.

Nowadays, with my high-end gaming pc, even though, it almost never freezes, I have cultivated the habit of saving my work every time I remembered to. Blogger or Google office actually now automatically saves my works every few secs. I think every software should do that. Well, you never know if suddenly something happens like a loss of power and at least your data was saved.

I'm thinking of upgrading my 109GB SSD though. It's too small for some of the basic software that I need to install. Also, because some of them need to be installed on your main drive. I'm thinking of either getting the 500GB or 1TB SSD. The size of this software and games are getting bigger and bigger. Why can't they get smaller and smaller like the tech advancement?

They also consume so much energy and needed a better cooling system. Especially, for gaming laptops. Even gaming device or phone gets pretty hot if you play high graphic-intensive games. My favorite portable gaming console, the Nintendo Switch lite, will get warm even though I'm just watching youtube videos. My Samsung Note 10+ even had to kill the game Grid Autosport because of heat.

Really, if I have the money, I'll want to get any of these new gaming PC with the latest high-end specs. I'll just sell my old pc and get the new one. I've thought of upgrading it but, the fact the tech has really become more advance and updated, and you really want to try out the new technology too. What with the new upcoming games.

Ahh, how I wish I was rich or sponsored by any of these companies. One thing though, I really wish they can minimize it all. Imagine, all that powerful tech inside my Nintendo Switch lite. I'll be able to play a super high-end graphic intensive game on the go. Hopefully, the battery will last you the whole day and not just 1 or two hours. 



Nintendo Switch Lite - Gray

Have you guys seen the latest Xbox Series X and the PS5? Especially, the PS5, it's so huge. Whatever happens to tech getting smaller and powerful? Look, the Nintendo Switch would probably soon reach 100 million sold, worldwide. It is small and portable does entice gamer like me who likes gaming on the go. In fact, I game on it more than on my Xbox or PC.

I found this interesting article about Nintendo Switch and Call of Duty in 2020. Read it here. But, the fcking Big Boss, I forget his name says that COD won't be available any time soon for the Nintendo Switch. What a prick. There I said it. I'm pretty angry because the way he says it sounds arrogant to me. Let's see how long can he ignored the call for COD to come to the Switch.

Anyway, don't forget to check out my Aftershock gaming pc unboxing video. Pls like, share, and subscribe. It will definitely help grow my blog and youtube channel. I still haven't reached the 1k minimum subscribers to earn any advertising money. Not that I can, even if I reach that minimum requirement. In the old days, I would but they changed the rules again.

By the way, come back a couple of years later, and let's see what new technology will be available for the gaming pc then!

Computing Technology Are Getting Smaller Faster and Lighter


ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 Gaming and Entertainment Laptop (Ryzen 9 4900HS 32GB-Core, 40GB RAM, 8TB PCIe SSD, RTX 2060 Max-Q, Win 10 Home) with MS 365 Personal, Hub

Hey guys,

Check it out!

One of my Youtube Channel viewers asked me if my HP 15s laptop is using a combination of SSD and HDD. I told him, it's 512GB SSD. He and you can actually take a look inside of my laptop via the video above. I include a link to the video with my reply.

Frankly, the reason, I opened up my laptop was to see if I can upgrade the existing 8GB Ram to 16GB. I always believed 8GB is the minimum and 16GB would make things a little faster. Opening up the laptop wasn't easy though. I actually had to google it. Why in hell we had to pry it open is beyond me.

Most laptops have a panel below where you can easily unscrew and open it up at the bottom. But, whoever design the HP laptop is an idiot that makes people need a pryer tool to open it up. Just to upgrade the rams or SSD. My new laptop now has small cutting marks.

I'm just happy, I didn't split the plastic casing into half. The material is pretty strong but easy to get pitted. All those 'crack' noises also alarm me. But, it's just the locking as you pry it out slowly on all sides. I wouldn't mind if I've had my laptop for a year or two but I just got it 1 or two months ago.



HP Pavilion 15 Laptop, 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 Processor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD Storage, Full HD IPS Micro-Edge Display, Windows 10 Pro, Compact Design, Long Battery Life (15-eg0021nr, 2020)

Anyway, once I pried it open, I was surprised how small and thin the main motherboard was. Also, because it's SSD, makes it much lighter. I thought to myself, no wonder, the laptop is pretty thin and light. Even my 3-year-old, Acer 2-in-1, 12-inch Intel Celeron laptop is heavier.

Computing technology getting smaller, faster, and lighter is not new. Experts already predicted it since the early days. Just look at our smartphone today. It's practically a laptop in your pocket. Android and iOS also help in the advance of technology.

It's not as bulky and slower as the Microsoft Windows 10, operating system. My desktop 120GB SSD, is not even enough to install it. I've been trying to delete everything I can because it's been eating up my storage space every time it updates. 

I'm thinking of updating it to 512GB SSD. My main 1TB HDD died on me a couple months back. I need to buy a new one. Currently, I'm using my old laptop HDD as a backup. I actually had to buy a new cable to connect them as my old one broke while I was figuring out how to disconnect.

The One Netbook OneGx1 is probably one of the best examples of a smaller, faster, and lighter mini Windows 10 portable gaming laptop. I would really like the chance to try out this laptop but I'll need the dough or sponsor though.

I mostly like the design except for the butt sticking out at the back. But, it's for the cooling system. The controller is kinda ugly too. I believe you can't charge it like a Nintendo Switch controller. I'm not sure but maybe you can buy an iPad or Nintendo Bluetooth controller that's also compatible with windows.

Somebody needs to combine the OneGx1 laptop with a better retractable third-party Nintendo Switch controller and there you have a cool portable windows 10 gaming console. With my collections of Steam games, it can definitely rival the popular Nintendo Switch.

I just thought of an idea. What if you put another screen behind the mini laptop cover and use it for gaming. And, when you're done or want to use the computer, you open the lid and use it as a normal laptop. It's something like the Samsung Z Fold 2 which has an external screen.

Well, if you can use a third-party retractable controller on the Z Fold 2, you'll now have an android gaming tablet. There are already many controllers for the android and iOS tablet so, you can use them too. These are some of the ideas companies can create new multiple-use portable windows 10 gaming console. Albeit with a better smaller, faster, lighter CPU and GPU.

My ULTIMATE WET DREAM - ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 White Anime Matrix Gaming Laptop


ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 14" VR Ready 120Hz FHD Gaming Laptop,8Core AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS(Beat i7-10750H),16GB RAM,1TB PCIe SSD,Backlight,Wi-Fi 6,USB C,NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060 Max-Q,Win10 (Moonlight White)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

If ever there was an ultimate gaming laptop that I'll actually have a wet dream of, it's the latest Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Moonlight White with Anime Matrix. Part of the charm is that it doesn't look like any other gaming laptop with a weird and out-of-the-world design.

Simplicity is Zen. I love how clean it looks. Another attraction of the laptop is of course the LEDs on the cover. I believe you can show off anything you like across it. I would love it if it's RGB so you can turn it into a freaking light show but I guess again, their motto is, keep it simple.



ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 14" VR Ready 120Hz FHD Gaming Laptop,8Core AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS(Beat i7-10750H),16GB RAM,1TB PCIe SSD,Backlight,Wi-Fi 6,USB C,NVIDIA GeForce RTX2060 Max-Q,Win10 (Moonlight White)

  • 14in Full HD Display with 1920 x 1080 Resolution with 120Hz refresh rate, Latest AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS(beat 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H), 8 Core processor up to 4.30GHz
  • 1TB SSD, 16GB DDR4 RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics Backed by 6GB GDDR6 dedicated video memory, Virtual Reality Ready
  • Speakers with Smart AMP Technology and Dolby Atmos, Two 2.5W speakers produce incredible Dolby Atmos sound, Wireless/Wired connectivity (WiFi 6 - 802.11 ax)
  • Chiclet keyboard with white backlight, Allows you to enjoy comfortable and accurate typing, even in dim lighting., Weighs 3.64 lbs. and measures 0.7" thin, Windows 10 Home
One thing though, I hope they'll have a 15.6-inch screen update. A better front and back camera for video calling and taking videos. Most of the time, I'll use my iPad pro to take videos, edit, and upload them to my youtube channel. So, a good camera is pretty useful.

This laptop will not just be my gaming laptop but also a workhorse for my blog and youtube channel. I'm actually using my gaming computer right now. I bought it around 2-3 years back. It got an intel i7 CPU, GTX 1060 3GB, and 16GB ram. Nowadays, these kinds of specs are pretty common.

I haven't had any problem with it except with the HDD. I need to upgrade my main SSD from its original 120GB. It's definitely not enough. If I'm getting anything new, these specs will be the minimum. Unless, of course, if you just want some cheap laptop for general usage.


The pic above is my current laptop, HP 15s with AMD Ryzen 7,  8GB of Ram, and Radeon RX Vega 10 mobile graphics. It's not a gaming laptop. Especially, with only the Vega 10 graphics. You can play some triple-A games but you'll have to set it to low-medium and lower the resolution.

You can watch the unboxing video of my laptop here. The video is surprisingly popular. I'm not sure why but probably based on how it looks. It actually looks like my dream laptop the Asus G14. That's why I got it. It's obviously, much cheaper.

I actually love my current laptop. That's why I hope Asus will come out with a G15. The same 15.6-inch screen and a full keyboard with a number pad. Just like my HP. I wonder how the G14 speakers are as mine are pretty good. Located above the keyboard.

My laptop also has a fingerprint sensor which is definitely better than those available in the past. The G14 has it integrated with the power button. If HP has this same design but with the same specs as the G14, I won't mind getting an HP gaming laptop. Currently, they don't have it.



Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 14" FHD 120Hz Premium Gaming Laptop, AMD 8-core Ryzen 9 4900HS, 24GB RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, NVIDIA RTX 2060 Max-Q 6GB, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 + Woov 32GB MicroSD Card

HP needs to come out with something like the G14 anime matrix though. I was thinking earlier of a maybe small 5inch touchscreen at the laptop cover. Which you can use to control a music player or some notifications received on your laptop.

Wouldn't that be cool? It's what I've been thinking since, especially in school, you'll see students holding their laptops and listening to music from them. Most laptops will sleep if you close them, so you'll need to open them up to listen to music or control the player. If you can control the music from the laptop cover, that'll be much easier.

Anyway, if somehow, I'm rich by then, hopefully, they'll already have the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 with the cool Anime matrix. I'm definitely going to get it. That'll be my ultimate gamer's wet dreams. My saliva just drips thinking of it. Lol!
