In this episode:

-Apollyon’s collecting backstory – his origins, preferences, and how he approaches imports today

-Are Switch & 3DS physical games time-limited? The real concerns around flash memory lifespan

-Tariffs & importing in 2025 – how bad has it actually gotten, and what’s STILL worth importing?
