Useful Switch Stuff:

MUST GET: Glass screen protector:

MUST GET EVENTUALLY: Extra storage. Dealer's choice, but here's a recommendation:
- 128gb SanDisk Ultra SDXC microSD card: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B010Q57S62/

Cases:
- Budget slim hard case: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B06XHK4YW5/
- Budget XL hard case: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01NAUKS62/
- Slim carry pouch for adults: https://www.sfbags.com/products/nintendo-switch-pouch
- XL carry case for adults: https://www.sfbags.com/products/nintendo-switch-cityslicker-case
- XXL carry bag for adults: https://www.sfbags.com/products/arcade-case-for-nintendo-switch

Gel guards that help if your hands cramp while playing portable. I find they make it easier to use left joycon buttons as a dpad (comes in several colors, stick to the PDP brand):

Joycon grips for playing with a single joycon horizontally (not very portable, come in pairs):
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MT9RSST/

Switch Pro Controller (has an awesome dpad):
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01NAWKYZ0/

Minimal dock replacement (does not include power cord--also note that the Switch has vent slits along the top, bottom, and rear. Don't cover those; PLACE THE SWITCH SCREEN DOWN!):
- Black: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B074MYLP9C/
- Silver: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B074QNPC6P/

Super-portable, flat-folding stand for using the charge port while standing in portable mode (e.g. for extended airplane play):

And a cheeky Switch cartridge case I like:

Finally, if you bought the grey joycon set and you're looking to add some color I recommend grabbing some alternate color joycon straps. They look fantastic with the grey joycons. They also make the joycon much easier to find in a dark room.

Hey Shackers,

I released an album on iTunes and Google Play today.

Here is the album cover:

http://chattypics.com/files/IMG_8199JPG_6y5qwph8gd.jpg

It is called NXTC.5, and half of the sales will go to food banks in my hometown.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/nxtc-5/id1304028772

https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Productive_Citizen_Nxtc_5?id=Bh2q7pg5l6o4cqk6tihcw3k6snq

It is also available to stream on Apple Music, Slacker and Spotify.
Not sure if it is up on Spotify yet, but it will be.

This is the first time I have released music on iTunes. Been working on this for a long time, and I hope you enjoy it.

Happy Halloween!
