For the Switch gaymers out there, do you get the physical copy of games or digital? I’ve always gotten physical, but now I’m wondering if I should just go in full digital.

Now some folks may say: "Why don't you just get a regular-ass #AUI like a #NormalPerson?"

1. Simply because noone but the most tech-masochistic folks want to deal with like #coax cables, #VampireTaps, huge #MAUI boxes and rare vintage stuff + overhead to get a slow & underwhelming network experience. Pretty shure neither @ncommander nor @TechTangents would either.

6. Because it's useful...

7. as said before: AUI port would be nice to have but not necessary...
