Hey, you can still buy a used Wii, install WiiFlow, put a metric shitton of games in the SD card and go nuts. Did it recently (I'm nearly 40, with wife and 4yo kid), highly recommend.

You don't even have to get a divorce with it if you're not feeling it.

Even better you can install RiConnect24 and play mario kart online.

Oh. Woops, uh. Brb, gotta check how to undivorce

Btw, is there anything to let you play gamecube games without the gc controller on a wii?

I have no idea, sorry, but you should be able to connect GC controllers to the Wii. I think.

Be the change you want to see in the world, buy a wii, yell in rooms, get divorced. Think of the children

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't think of the children when I'm still trying to figure out the time travel part.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You already got the forward time travel right, so stick with it :D

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I hate that I've been good at it for so long...

Ahhh the Wii... I'm always reminded of a story I have about playing Wii sports. I had just gotten the Wii fairly recently and played the shit out of Wii sports, I would really get into swinging like I was actually trying to hit something. I worked at a restaurant at the time and was standing by the door to the kitchen talking to a coworker about how I couldn't believe how sore I got myself and just as my manager is walking out from the kitchen I say "even my ass is sore!" and the manager just gives me this look like "wtf!?"

Ahh the Wii. Fun times. Lol

That Wii controller had just the right shape too.

And if you hooked it up to Linux you could make it vibrate however you want.

[–] applemao@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Don't you mean the mario kart adapter?

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My parents were yelling at me instead of at each other.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

god dammit daggermoon

[–] tehWrapper@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Poor kids still have this..

[–] ilega_dh@feddit.nl 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not relatable at all

My parents were already divorced when the Wii was released

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Loser 🫵😂

Yeah, a lot of people just have coping mechanisms, and they're not like bad for you, necessarily. And for me, you know, I like to do certain things to distract myself, and they might be a result, or me being a product of my environment, which could also be a good or a bad thing, depending where placed, what other new environment that I'm possibly engaged in. But it's like, also, you're aware of this. It means you're self aware. Like some kind of lucid dream state, this thing called reality. Or you could just follow your ego, your false perception of self, with delusions of grandeur, and make rash decisions while you project your insecurities on others. Pretty much every fucking American president, administration, or anybody with power in government.

Yeah, now kids are locked in a Tiktok doomscroll while their parents are yelling about how they need to upgrade from vanlife to a bus

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I still remember that whistle

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's wild, you know, people's perception of things. There's always like two sides to every story.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah like the parents who were in the process of divorcing because their kid insisted on playing wii instead of mediating their fight

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

The only time the kid did mediate the fight with "Let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeeee", a lawyer burst into the house with a lawsuit.
