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.

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

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

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.

Don't you mean the mario kart adapter?

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

Not relatable at all

My parents were already divorced when the Wii was released

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.

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

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

I still remember that whistle
