lemme guess… it’s an ACNH Switch that’s going on eBay
As spoiled as Walky is, he doesn’t know what console it is, just “a Nintendo”? Dag, how confusing would that be to call an Xbox (any gen) “a Microsoft”?
No, that’s the hard drive. Microsoft is inside it, everybody knows that.
(This physically hurt to write, I hope you’re happy.)
Deanatay
WRONG.
A ‘Microsoft’ is the box on the desk. The thing inside is an ‘Intel’ (CHANG! Dun din dun din)! They even came up with a handy mnemonic to help us remember – Intel Inside.
If Booster was trying to flip an Animal Crossing switch why would they take it out the box? Maybe as proof it’s authentic I guess but I feel like it cuts a little off the bottom line doing that.
I definitely wouldn’t buy a game console with only a photo of the box, not from eBay.
HeySo
If it’s New or New (Other), you very much wouldn’t want to take it out of the box or packaging- there’s no purpose or benefit to that, and it’d just force you to have to lower the condition rating. Even Like New is generally fairly safe since, any issues it may have would be internal anyway. Fundamentally, the only time it’s dubious is if they’re marking it as used (or some specific used condition) and not actually showing photos of it. Or, of course, if the account is suspicious in some way [ie, being new].
Besides, doesn’t matter if it DOES have photos. Ebay had a confirmed, removed from ebay scammer, and told me they couldn’t refund the ($60?) because the other party was no longer a user, due to having been removed due to being a scammer. Meanwhile, all my other issues (with users who have NOT been banned) have gone through support just fine. So Ebay safety is.. simultaneously both very reliable, and very much going to sucker punch you when you least expect it for absurd reasons that have nothing to do with things you can actually control.
Rather, the important part of using ebay would be to avoid buying anything you can’t immediately test. In that regard, never ever buy plant seeds off ebay, nor any specific variety of pre-grown blooming plant which has not yet already bloomed. Conversely, you’re pretty well set to buy a console, game, or similar, assuming you’ll be confirming its functionality immediately.
HeySo
Rather, a more pressing concern when it comes to video game consoles, is the current trend of people posting empty console boxes in ways that mislead people into thinking it contains an actual console. It’s a whole thing on ebay right now. So.. the real concerns lie kinda in the opposite of where you were looking. 😛

“AUTHENTIC RARE NINTENDO SWITCH box ANIMAL CROSSING no console MARIO just box” – Current bid: $177.50 6d 14h remaining
People do the same thing with Apple products.
Even shrink wrap isn’t an indicator, because anybody can order shrink-wrap film, a heat gun, and an impulse sealer. I wouldn’t trust a “new in box” sealed listing from an individual, only “like new, with box” with pictures of the actual unit (preferably with at least one shot of it running). It’s not exactly a new scam; I remember hearing stories about shrink-wrapped N64s getting returned to retailers and getting resold, only for the second buyer to discover the first returned a brick with a photocopy of the console’s serial number taped to it.
I bought a Switch Lite from a pawn shop through eBay this past summer (for Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing), it was loose with no box but they had pictures of it running and it came with a case and charger. It looks new and was factory reset.
RowenMorland
Which is unfortunate since there are a couple of reasons people might want to buy empty boxes and tins, just not when they are being tricked into it.
Ryek Hvek
One thing eBay is no help at all with is a mis-delivery. eBay will state “UPS says package delivered” and it’s case closed. Make your purchases by credit card, and you operate under banking laws, which are friendlier to consumers than eBay policies.
My assumption as well, also makes it a lot easier to swap out the art for a different (newer) Nintendo console later without needing to edit the text

A sliding timeline doesn’t mean that DW is gonna constantly keep updating the art. Danny and Sal are still playing with Nintendo DSs in earlier arcs. Marvel don’t go back and change who’s president in earlier issues. Stuff like that would become a full time job.

By now, you should have somehow realised what they’re tryin’ to do
I can’t believe that anybody tries to sell online with ebay now
Backbeat, the word is on the street that the box has been shipped out
I’m sure they stole it off your porch, but a part of me wants to doubt
I can’t believe that anybody tries to sell online with ebay now

Nah, more like an iPad 2, Wii, or Game Boy Advance. Once its replacement comes out, there will be used Switches galore. (They’ll be covered in scratches, snack residue, and stickers, but they’ll be cheap.)
In his defense, sometimes I do that. Though in my case, it’s more because otherwise, I’m going to slip up and call my Switch a DS for the 390709th time (oops)

My oldest niece is almost 40…
I still call her by the wrong name sometimes. ?
HeySo
What, 40 years and she hasn’t yet figured out that she’s an adopted replacement for [that name you keep confusing her with]? =O
Well, I can’t say I ever confuse familiar names, but I do sometimes blank on them, and just kinda sit there glaze-eyed before yielding and referring to them as “whatsyourface” or by their association title [eg, “your sister”]. It goes over well enough, though- after all, my half-senility is well-established by this point.. :S
Daibhid C
I frequently get confused between the names of my sister and my neice, or our cat and their cat. Sometimes when I’m referring to my sister I go through a desperate loop of every female relative whose name pops into my head. On at least one occasion, I also included the cat.
Jinx
I had 4 older brothers. As a child, when my mom was really mad, I would get called MarkKevinTimRandyRICHARD! (My name is, of course, Richard.)
Despite Rage
We have two bio-daughters whose name starts with “A” and I frequently say the wrong one.
Now we’ve adopted three children whose names all start with “R”. It’s a predictable shitshow when I need to get someone’s attention.
Agemegos
My mother would include my father and her brother in the list with my three older brothers and, once, the dog. Occasionally she’d get my name in there and just keep going.

My grandma still sometimes calls my dad by his little brother’s name. It’s not dementia, she’s done it since they were kids. (Said little bro is in his fifties.)
As spoiled as Walky is, he doesn’t know what console it is, just “a Nintendo”? Dag, how confusing would that be to call an Xbox (any gen) “a Microsoft”?
To be fair, if your aim is playing Mario Kart, “a Nintendo” is probably exactly where your mind is at, rather than on any specific console release. Well, unless you’re looking at a Wii, in which case you’re more likely to call it “Oh, it’s that Nintendo I can’t play a decent Mario Kart on. Bummer. ..do you have Brawl? Well, of course you’ve got Brawl. You’ve gotta have Brawl. It’s literally the only game on the console worth playing. Guess you can’t afford a Switch, huh? Yeah, me neither. Here’s hoping they go down in price soon.”.
Eh, I mean.. I assume. Totally not speaking from actual experience with my present roommates or anything. :S
But seriously, I don’t find it weird at all. But then, it’s your interpretation of the formatting that’s bizarre relative to what I’m used to, to begin with. While certainly, Nintendo and Microsoft correlate as far as branding/company ownership, that’s not how they match up when you refer to the consoles themselves. While the Wiis are an exception, Super Nintendo, N[intendo]64, and Nintendo Switch do have a strong Nintendo association, and I’ve often heard people refer to them within the framework of “Let me grab my Nintendo”, in the same vein as “Let me grab my Xbox”. In other words, Nintendo as it relates to gamer console reference would correlate to Xbox, not to Microsoft. ie, it’s a categorical reference, not a brand reference.
I think Millennials who grew up hearing their Boomer parents unironically say “just pause your Nintendo tape and come eat dinner” are now using it (despite knowing better) just to get a rise out of Gen Z.
I think it’s funny that Walky, a college kid, does the same thing as my mother, who is at least 73. Growing up, she would always call any gaming thing a “Nintendo,” whether it was actually made by Nintendo or not. I’m sure if I placed every console I own in front of her she’d be like “why do you have so many Nintendos”
A “nintendo” can be whatever current console there is on the market by nintendo, once they aren’t the newest one they get back their first name and are mentioned as “a ds” a “wii” and stuff
“Nintendo” is usually just used for the tv-adjacent consoles. The handheld models prior to the Switch are more commonly referred to as a “Game Boy”.
And to be fair, prior to Sony and Microsoft entering the market, most of the console industry offered a single console at a time. When the “Super Nintendo Entertainment System” hit the market, the “Nintendo Entertainment System” left the market. Same for the “Sega Genesis” vs “Sega Master System.” Even the famed Atari 2600 was often just an “Atari.”
Sony and later Microsoft having a wider range of products encouraged referring to their console products by ‘Playstation’ and ‘XBox’ instead of “Sony” and “Microsoft.” “I’m going to go buy a Sony!” could have any number of meanings both then and now.
Not sorry to see him go, but I’m hardly wild about the replacement, either.
Needfuldoer
At least the incoming administration is trying to shift back to grounded sanity. I just hope the strategy is to bring boring, respectable civility and an amiable face back to the executive branch while letting the DOJ and other assorted alphabet soup agencies off their chains to do the dirty work.

Yeah, not my first choice, but honestly I’ve come around to thinking he might be what we need to deal with the immediate crisis we’re in. Or crises, really.
Given the complete lack of transition help – sabotage really, from the Trump administration, Biden’s experience in the White House is going to be critical to hitting the ground running.
And he’s shown a lot of signs of recognizing the problems and the magnitude of solutions we’re going to need. That said, with only narrow control of Congress, especially in the Senate, it’s going to be nigh impossible to get much in the way of big structural changes done. Which would be true regardless of which Democrat had won the White House.
Right? The 0-100 hyperactivity is one thing, but the repetition is annoying. “Oh wow you have a Nintendo! I can’t believe my roommate has a Nintendo! That Nintendo is the best thing about having a new roommate right now! I want to play Nintendo with my new roommate!”
No but being serious, if you got no Nintendo and someone else has one in close proximity to you, they can’t be surprised if you wanna at least see them play it.
I bought one almost exclusively because they haven’t released Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled for PC yet, and the PS5 and new Xbox weren’t out yet at the time so a PS4 or Xbox One didn’t sound like a good idea.
It also makes a good YouTube machine because I avoid ll other doomscrolling on it.
You think this is actually some attempt to torture Walky? Like, Booster is a subtle version of Mike, and instead of being an asshole they just do random Dadaist activities to slowly drive Walky insane?
Walky walks in and Booster is gluing Froot Loops to the ceiling, then carefully arranging seventeen ketchup packets on the floor. They listen to a random three second segment of “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” by Bauhaus on repeat for two hours. Then they diligently study for all their classes and do their homework.
Walky can’t fathom the meaning behind any of these random activities.
Walky is acting like me whenever I see a console in a comic. “Ooh! That character has a game console!? Why are they talking to someone instead of playing it?”
I had a roomate that would do anything besides playing with his 3DS. But he would carry that damn thing everywhere and post pictures of it every now and then on his facebook.
I still don’t know what I hated more, his lack of playing it or he never letting me or close friends play that thing.
I kind of hope it’s not that. People are already making the Booster is just Mike 2.0 argument and scalping a Switch while also finding a way to torture Walky with is would be a real Mike move. I’m kind of neutral on Booster but it would be nice if they had something else they were interested in.
