I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
sometimes I feel weird about how I see Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as an object of good wholesome childhood nostalgia even though the hub world is a town inhabited by criminals literally named "Rogueport"
I want to believe that there's a Mafia enforcer who really wanted his son to think his job was cool and leaned on his Yazuka contacts to make that happen

Mario and Luigi are the mob's chief enforcers and hitmen. When Donkey "The Kongpin" Kong kidnapped the don's daughter, Peach, they were sent in to rescue her, as well as in a bid to consolidate power.
Years later, with The Princess now at the helm, the Mushroom "Kingdom" has expanded to become the world's leading criminal organisation, and the bright-eyed young police inspector Bowser, angered by the unchecked crime around him, makes a bid to stamp it out. He succeeds in arresting Peach, but Mario and Luigi are sent in to break her out of jail. From this day forth, Bowser makes it his personal mission to put the Mario Bros. away.
After countless failures, through no fault of his own, a world-weary, cynical, and jaded Bowser joins an illegal street racing circle, making one last bid to deal with the mob for good.

Maybe a computer-type person can explain to me: why do wireless mice and keyboards need their own USB dongles? Why can't they be designed to make use of the computer's built-in wireless functionality?

Like, what, an internal antenna on the mobo? I don't see a lot of point when it's easy to have it on pci like normal
No, that's not what I mean. I was counting PCI as "built-in", as contrasted with something that plugs into a USB port.
If my computer already supports Bluetooth I don't see why I shouldn't just be able to use that for a mouse.
I'm pretty sure most desktops do not support Bluetooth by default. That said, you can pretty easily just buy a Bluetooth USB dongle and use that for all wireless devices, so I suspect it's mostly just inertia that wireless mice and stuff aren't usually Bluetooth-based.

oh. yeah. well, if you already have bluetooth you might be able to, it would just take hacking i.e. support on the computer end. mouse and keyboard manufacturers probably don't bother so much because a usb stick is definitely easier than configuring software, and more like how it used to work.
The idea of this name was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers. At the time of this proposal he was reading Frans G. Bengtsson's historical novel The Long Ships about Vikings and King Harald Bluetooth.[10][11] The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications protocols, uniting them into one universal standard.[12]
uh... okay.
my desktop (which i built, so defaults are not involved) doesn't have bluetooth, but i guess i could get it for my headset. then i'd be able to walk around and listen to music or take calls. which i can already do, but only with my phone which does have bluetooth. Technology

It seems to be just easier and a better idea to have a dongle and thus have a dedicated line of communication directly between the dongle (attached to a computer through a port with universal standards) and the wireless mouse/keyboard, than to try to route yet one more thing through the computer's wireless card, which might not have the proper configuration to support whatever the mouse's wifi is doing.
(Not to mention the even stupider idea of piping mouse motions through the wifi router to the computer.)

Also, bluetooth is just weird.
(Ok, maybe not.)
