Summer! It’s hot. It’s ‘close’, as they say round here. And when you’re already hot and bothered, sometimes turning on your Switch 2 console in portable mode for a quick session, well, it’s not gonna make you any cooler, let’s put it like that.<\/p>\n

And so, we’ve been delighted to see one gamer over on Reddit coming up with a very silly tip for hot days spent playing Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a>, Mario Kart World<\/a>, or whatever else it is you’ve got on the go (this writer is all over The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy<\/a> right now, FWIW).<\/p>\n

Yes, as posted by u\/Gamingjojo909<\/a> \u2014 who we’re assuming is some sort of colossal genius \u2014 the top USB-C slot on the Switch 2 console can seemingly power a mini fan while you play (just probably not very safely). Huzzah!<\/p>\n

\nFound another use for the top USB-C port!<\/a>

Of course, as fun as this looks \u2014 and we’re sure it’s quite effective for beating the heat momentarily \u2014 it will also likely toast your battery pretty quickly and could, as noted a little further down in the comments, maybe even fry your Switch because of…science.<\/p>\n

So don’t do it. Just look at someone else doing it instead.<\/p>\n

Right. Well, we’re off to try plugging our favourite toothbrush into our consoles now. How dangerous could it be, right?<\/p>\n

Have you, dare we ask, plugged anything ‘unofficial’ into your new Switch 2 yet? Is everything still working? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
