Oh well. I’ll just leave it at that.
Give it to a retirement home. Seriously. Us old farts still like playing those old games. I was not happy when my granddaughter used my Mario Cart disk for a teething ring.
We only got a Wii because it was useful for physical therapy for a family member with motion problems. Thry used one at his PT centre, so we obtained one once they became readily available, and he used it at home for years, at least kong enough that you could use it for Netflix with a specific disc. With the Fit board, it provides some activities with more feedback and interactivity.
Well I don’t know if those games are that enticing
Crash Titans is a super fun game, albeit a bit short iirc, wtf u talkin about?
It’s not very recognizable to a kid these days. That game came out 17 years ago. 17 YEARS 😭
Nobody wants free. Better to say if he does extra chores for a week, he can earn it. Then it has value.
Man you can mod that thing. It has infinite value
Free stuff facebook groups have entered the chat
Why are you reposting the post?
Anyway, what’s your son’s dna result?
Maybe you could play yourself and get him interested that way? If my pops would have come with some weird stuff from his childhood i would also have been mildly uninterested.
This isn’t mildly interesting
Why was this post reposted after it got deleted?
OP went nuts in the comments of the original. I can’t remember the details, but they were saying things about how they were incredibly offended and wanted to DNA test their son for not being thankful for the gift. And some rambling tirades about the grandmother or something. It was very bizarre.
Too many downvotes . The new post does not state that it was given to their son for free.
I don’t get why that causes downvotes
It was all the other responses by OP that were off-putting. Check their post history (and you’ll also find out why another reply here has a picture of a tardigrade playing the world’s smallest violin).
I went from thinking “haha dang” to “oh you’re serious about giving a dna test to the child you yourself birthed”.Is there a way to read the previous, now deleted post? Or did anyone take some screenies of those ramblings?
I didn’t take any. I don’t really want to make things worse for OP, but I do understand the downvotes.
Can you read OP’s comment history? I use Sync and I can read even from the deleted posts.
They all show as “deleted comment” to me, I look from a web browser (firefox)
The OP consistently shows extreme bitterness toward seemingly everyone in her own family. To the point where she actively talks about disowning her son and suing her mother. I think she probably deleted a lot of those comments, but it definitely recontextualizes a lot of her posts not as jokes, but as earnest, passive aggressive hatred for her family.
My kid is the same way. He does play a few things, but he has zero interest in any of the games I play. He won’t even watch, just says this game looks boring… I now know what my parents felt when I didn’t want to do the things they wanted me to.
Funny how Lemmy is small enough that most of us here went through this original post
Well there’s a few online markets that will take it off your hands.
Why would you curse him with having to use motion controls
Honestly, I have never played a game as comfortably as with Wii games where you can hold your hands independent of each other wherever you want. The big motions are a myth, it’s enough to waggle the controller with a flick of the wrist because it doesn’t really register motion but force.
I really wish that having independent controller parts had taken off. I could easily rest one hand behind my head while the other lay in my lap. It was awesome.
Sadly my Wii has kicked the bucket by now.
The switch has the same appeal, although the controllers are a little small they are generally very comfortable to play with in two hands.
Yeah, the small controllers are what ultimately put me off from buying a Switch. Let’s see what Nintendo does next.
VR is done with a controller for each hand. Nice to play old emulated games on a virtual 4k screen set up wherever you want at any given moment, any size and distance. There are regular olden days style flat screen emulators, but also a few systems have full VR emulators too, they convert the games into 3D, either immersive first person or diorama mode. There is also a 3DS emulator in VR so you can play 3DS games in perfect 3D and instead of 400x240(240p), you can play in 1080p or more. And if you missed out and are curious about Nintendo’s Virtual Boy, of course there are VR emulators for that. There were some pretty cool games, and now they don’t have to only be in various shades of red. You can pick which color they are various shades of. And there is a project currently in the works to colorize each game properly instead, as an overlay.
Can also play while laying down and put the screen on your roof. Or play while a passenger in a car, bus, train, plane.
And with VR, hand motions are 1 to 1, no waggles, but also no exaggeration. You move your hand exactly how you want to swing your racket, or sword, or staff. People have gotten pretty creative with spell casting in various games.
But yeah, great way to play wii games. Especially the ones that supported wii motion plus. Wii is one of the systems where you can choose to play in VR, not just flat screen. Gamecube too, cuz same emulator.
Yeah. It’s a shame that you can’t use VR controllers as normal gamepads. At least the Quest ones can’t be used that way.
And my disabled ass really would use my Quest 1 to play flat games if those fuckers hadn’t pulled Quest 1 support a month before they added laying down mode to all other headsets.
You can set Virtual Desktop to use them as either an xbox or playstation controller. It’s a 20 dollar program, but I would consider it a mandatory part of any VR setup, factor it in to the total price. But I really recommend a new headset, Quest 2 and Quest 3 were both huge leaps. Quest 3 is clear enough that a 4k virtual screen looks much better than a 1440p screen in it. Even though it shouldn’t have enough pixels for that to be the case, in practice the sort of temporal anti aliasing you get just from the micro-movements of your head is enough to make it the case. Going from 1 to 3 with no in-between would be nuts. For now though, Quest 1 controls can indeed be used that way.
I liked them. Aiming in first person is far more intuitive for me using motion controls rather than a joystick. Using the bow in Twilight Princess was a gamechanger for me.
That sucks man I’m sorry
Let me guess if he has a console he plays Fortnite and if he doesn’t he plays Roblox.
Have you tried setting up wii sports?
