The dude is pooping while using the thing. You have to really hope he doesn't touch it between the wiping process and the sink-cleaning.

Maybe he's got one of those special rear end wiping claw arms, or a bidet. It is Germany after all.

I thought these awful things died off a decade ago, not a deal breaker but as someone with a lot of retro consoles I'm juggling brick adapters as it is

holy gently caress the worst thing about consoles in the 90's is back holy gently caress Nintendo are such stupid assholes.

The Xbox One and Playstation 3/4 have their power adapters inside of the system. You can't do that on a handheld console that is as powerful as the Switch.

e: You could but it would add to the cost and the form factor, but I am not an electrical engineer.

But you can have the brick in the middle of the cord and let it end with a normal plug.

Both the Wii and Wii U have power adapters like that but the DS and 3DS have ones with larger plugs. I assume this is a Nintendo internal design thing.

I'm just gonna get a generic USB C cord off of amazon for cheap and use that to charge it through a laptop/power supply anyway, personally.

That's what I did with the Wii U gamepad and it worked pretty well so far.

If it uses USB PD, you could use any good USB C PD charger and not worry about it.

It's fine. If the Switch is successful, it's successful. If it flops, it'll probably go down as Nintendo's swan song as far as hardware goes. It'll become a cult classic, like the Dreamcast logo.

The fact that it's a tattoo though is not fine. At least it's ambiguous enough...

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

I'm guessing opting for a brick on the end instead of the middle is primarily a safety thing. They assume the charger would be moved and oocasionally damaged by its users, and the design intent was to minimize the chance of coming into contact with A/C after a fray
