The wii was a system with universal appeal and a gigantic library of games. This meant that there were millions of consoles just waiting for an easy way to pirate games. This laid the foundation for a thriving homebrew scene and made the wii an emulation super console. The wii is still my most played console.

The WiiU is dead. It's library of must have games can be counted on a top ten list, most of which will be in the $5 bargain bin in a matter of months. Plus relatively few people even own the console. At this point I feel like emulation is a more viable means of playing "backups", which let's face it, is all anyone really wants. At this point I feel like a user friendly soft mod is too late to be meaningful.

Sure the people lurking in these threads will be happy, but at this point is there any real motivation for hackers to finish this project?

  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I think people are disliking the idea of jumping social media sites over politics
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well, I do find that silly.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I don't care enough about social media to bother
  • NinStar @ NinStar:

    it tries so hard to be a twitter clone but it fails miserably
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    also, their federation is going nowhere
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    what federation?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I try to explain social media is what you make of it but people always jump ship with hatred for politics based off it

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    So is reddit
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    So is 4chan oh wait
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @Skelletonike bluesky claims to be decentralized like mastodon, problem is that for some reason they decided to create their own protocol for that, I've not seen a single other instance using it
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Yeah, 4chan was a bit sus... Probability of finding a trap when clicking on something was... Too high.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well... When it comes down to, it's all for money.
  • SillyBee @ SillyBee:
    What is hilarious is that a lot of old 4chan users used to complain it became really mainstream lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Will say it was one of the last few sites that didn't go all fancy css with everything
