Gamer shares the one thing you need to do after buying Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo released its Switch 2 console in the UK this week and a gaming expert has expressed the importance of completing one particular task first before playing any games
The release of the Nintendo Switch 2 sparked a shopping frenzy amongst avid gamers at midnight on Thursday (June 5) with the new console rapidly selling out across the country. With launch titles including Mario Kart World and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, fans couldn't wait to plug in and play.
One gaming expert has warned that there is a task you should complete first before getting down to playing, however, given the hugely-anticipated device's hefty £395.99 price tag. Dylan Czeh, who provides gaming advice via his YouTube channel, Dyllie', took to TikTok to reveal: "If you just got a Nintendo Switch 2, this is the first thing you need to do."
On firing the console up, Dylan said you'll receive prompt giving you the option to transfer your data from your original Switch to the Switch 2. "If you have the Switch 1, you need to start the system transfer now," he explained. "Because if you press 'Don't Transfer', it's not going to give you the option later."
The transfer isn't simple, however, and speaking from experience, Dylan went on to point out that you will require an Express microSD card to do so. "Don't forget to get this, you're going to need it too," he continued. The expert closed by illustrating his point further, showing that by clicking 'Don't Transfer' you will receive a dialogue box warning that you won't be able to transfer data in future.
Following the advice, one TikTok user penned in response: "I've spent three hours transferring everything over, moving key cards, setting the Switch 2 as the primary console, downloading updates, and Switch 2 upgrades, and making sure my saved data transferred successfully. I'm finally finishing with downloading Mario Kart World then I'm done."
However, a second fumed: "And this is one of the many reasons I'm not buying the second one and just using my normal Switch." Whilst a third said: "I didn't do it because it would take a lot of space for the SD Card. So I made the right choice."
Attempting to entice customers into making a purchase, Nintendo shared a list of improvements the Switch 2 possesses. A press release on Thursday read: "Nintendo Switch 2 builds on the foundations of the Nintendo Switch system, and delivers a multitude of new features and enhancements, including:
New social capabilities with the built-in mic and the new online feature GameChat, where up to 12 friends and family can play games and talk like they're all in the same room, even when they're miles apart. You can also video chat with up to four people if you connect a compatible USB-C camera, such as the Nintendo Switch 2 camera (sold separately).
Powerful CPU and GPU capable of enhanced visuals and performance.
A large 7.9-inch built-in LCD screen that displays in full HD at 1080p.
Joy-Con 2 controllers that magnetically attach to the system. New mouse controls are also possible by sliding them across surfaces, such as a tabletop or even your lap in compatible games.
256 GB storage capacity – 8 times that of Nintendo Switch (a portion of which is reserved for use by the system).
USB-C ports on the top and bottom of the system, and a freely adjustable stand for playing and charging in tabletop mode.
Crisp audio quality and spatial 3D sound in handheld and tabletop modes.

I'm a hairdresser – there's a phrase new clients say that's a total red flag… it crosses the line and annoys us
NO MATTER how long you've known your hairdresser, getting a big chop can always be a but nerve-wracking. But if you are going to a new hairstylist, there's one phrase you might want to avoid if you want to stay on their good side. 2 2 This is according to one hairdresser, to took to TikTok to explain how that all important client-hairdresser relationship can go awry. The pro, who goes by @mobilestylisthubclub online, dished the dirt on social media. So, what's the phrase you should avoid? Well, apparently if you tell your new styler 'my old hairdresser used to do my hair like this' before explaining, it might not go down so well. The hairdresser went on to share some tips for other professionals if they ever find themselves in the sticky situation. Rather than telling clients to 'go back to them then', the pro suggested a few alternatives. She said: "[You could] say, 'Rather than showing me how your old hairdresser used to do your hair, can you show me some images of what you're hoping to achieve and I'll see if they' will work with your hair type/texture?'" Not only that, but the pro urged other hairstylists to say something alone the lines of: 'I appreciate you may be nervous about having your hair done by another hairdresser, but you are in safe hands'. "Reassure them and help to calm their nerves," she said. Of course, clients might still not be completely on board, and if they keep bringing up how their old stylist would do their hair it might be no use. In the case, the pro said you might not be a great match for the client. "Do your best to offer the best possible outcome, and politely explain that you may not be a good fit for each other," she said. After sharing the advice, other stylists chimed in to share how they deal with similar situations. One said: "I normally ask what they liked about how they did it or I'll explain why I do it differently." A second chimed in: "I don't see this comment as a problem, if they liked it that way I would try to do it the way she wanted." "I don't see this as an issue," another agreed. Hairstyles that are kind to your locks Loose Braids: Opt for loose, soft braids rather than tight ones to minimise tension on the scalp and reduce breakage. Low Ponytail: A low ponytail is less stressful on your hair compared to high, tight ponytails. Use a fabric-covered hair tie to avoid snagging. Messy Bun: A relaxed, messy bun can be both stylish and kind to your hair. Avoid pulling your hair too tightly and use gentle hair ties. Soft Waves: Embrace your natural texture or use heatless methods to create soft waves, reducing the need for damaging heat styling tools. Half-Up, Half-Down: This style keeps some hair pulled back while leaving the rest down, reducing the strain on your scalp. Headbands and Scarves: Using headbands or scarves can keep hair out of your face without causing damage, and they can be quite fashionable. Loose Plaits for Sleeping: Before bed, loosely plait your hair to prevent tangles and breakage overnight.

Charli XCX hits back at 'fraud' claims after Glastonbury set criticised
Charli XCX has hit back at claims she is a "fraud" after her Glastonbury Festival headline set was heavily criticised. The Apple singer was headlining the Other stage Saturday evening, with a packed out crowd there to sing and dance with her. However, Charli came under criticism for her set, with many convinced she was miming or using autotune. She referenced the "boomer vibe" comments on her set in a string of Twitter posts. She wrote on X: "Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx "But to be honest… i enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable." She then added: "really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my glastonbury performance. it's super fascinating to me," before thanking those who gave her five star reviews. During her big set, Charli XCX sang her song with Icona Pop, I Love It, as well her hit viral song Apple, which Gracie Abrams acted as the Apple Girl for and danced the TikTok routine. The singer was accused by fans of miming during her performance, where she headlined the Other stage on Saturday night, whilst Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts performed on Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage. At the same time, the Scissors Sisters were performing on the Woodsies stage - and the venue had to be shut down as there were too many people there. Taking to Twitter/X, some fans blasted the singer. One wrote: "Oh ffs can't watch Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX is bloody dreadful. Could literally be any random person miming. WTF for a Glastonbury Saturday night, disappointing." Another added: "Predictable but shame nonetheless that charli xcx can't sing live #Glastonbury2025 #charlixcx FAKE." And a third said: "Charli xcx Embarressing [sic]that, turning up to walk around stage pretending to sing…" Whilst some weren't keen on her set, others loved it. "Charli xcx the icon you are #Glastonbury2025," one wrote, whilst a second added: "Charli xcx killing it." A third penned: "Charli xcx is taking over Glasto, she's bloody amazing."
