  • Well, if we are counting all the post launch bundles, then the OG Switch definitely had pack-ins too. I bought mine bundled with MK8DX.

    But if you want to talk launch pack-ins, the only ones I know had them for certain were the original NES, Game Boy and Wii. The GBP, GBL, GBC, GBA, GCN, all did not launch with pack-ins The DS technically had a Metroid demo and a messaging app. I don’t think the N64 launched with any bundles and SNES looks like it had a launch bundle in North America only. I’m not sure about the 3DS or WiiU, but the NEW 3DS didn’t even come with a charging cable.

    So, yeah. It’s very stupid that Welcome Tour isn’t a pack-in, but it is not unprecedented in the least.



  • The little bit between the toes IS a thong. The sandal and undergarment both get their name from a component in leatherworking. A thong is just a slender strip of leather or hide that is usually used to tie, bind, create loops, or otherwise fasten one thing to another. It also can refer to things that resemble the leather strip in form, function, or historical construction.

    I think there is a passage in some translations of the Bible something like: “I am unworthy to undo the thong of his sandle”, which is not referring to flip-flops, but the ties or straps that hold the sandal on.









  • Windows 11 ended support for vertical taskbars and the default setting is along the bottom with the tasks centered. You can change the “taskbar alignment” setting to “left” but that just aligns the tasks to the left side of the bar. There apparently was a registry hack that allowed you to move the taskbar, but that got patched out by the time my work updated my workstation
