And then you accidentally throw your Wii remote to the TV and you break it
Not relatable at all
My parents were already divorced when the Wii was released
My parents were yelling at me instead of at each other.
god dammit daggermoon
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.
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.
Don’t you mean the mario kart adapter?
And if you hooked it up to Linux you could make it vibrate however you want.
These are the first three I found:
parents argue about divorce while I play tennis on the wii and cry-ASMR
Your parents are arguing downstairs while you distract yourself by playing wii sports bowling ASMR
It’s 2010 and Your playing wii sports while your parents fight in the hallway about money recession
Wait this is a common experience? Makes me grateful my parents never fight
It’s a common meme. Not necessarily a common experience.
I can pretty much solely thank my family dysfunction for all the tech skills I have.
Just shutup in my room, headphones on, listening to radiohead, doing school work, learning how all things computer work, seeking out various knowledge sets because learning is fun!
I’m in my 30s now, and it wasn’t untill a few years ago I finally realized that … that is not a normal or average childhood.
… But its also more common than a lot of other people from functional families seem to think.
Humans are messed up in general so it’s probably common enough tbh. My childhood was a bit different though. The arguing was never mutual. It was always my dad screaming at my mom while she sits there and takes it. I remember realizing that was abnormal by watching media growing up… realizing that couples are supposed to love each other and that fights are generally a mutual experience, not just one person belittling the other.
Anyway sorry that was oversharing lol
So relatable. Aight lemme overshare a little too (TW: sadness).
My oldest memory is my dad yelling at my mom while 3yo me runs to my room crying, and looking for my teddy bear so I can get a little comfort. Fuck I’m crying again.
Hey same childhood! My dad would yell at the top of his lungs at my mom and call her a stupid bitch and she would sit there and take it and then silently cry in the kitchen and then ground me when I tried to hug her 🙂
Learned the shit out of computers. They’re the only things in my life that don’t yell at me (if we ignore error messages).
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.
Poor kids still have this…
I still remember that whistle
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
