   @ooignignoktoo @AWIVR @milk @troubledturtle Me too, and next to my Wii too lol. But man, I dunno, it just worked? Playing Flash games that used the wiimote and button was fantastic. Could play youtube videos too. Pornhub literally had a freaking wii portal lmao
   
   But yeah, fantastic emergency browser back then, I could look up shit to recover my PC when needed

     @coolboymew @AWIVR @milk @troubledturtle The opera browser was a fun novelty but I only used it a couple of times since I had a dedicated pc to surf on.

     @coolboymew @troubledturtle @AWIVR @milk It kind of reminds me of the Dreamcast with it's web browser discs. It was a game console at heart but it could surf the web like webTV did back in the late 90's.

     @ooignignoktoo @AWIVR @milk @troubledturtle And the Wii and 3DS having browsers. The Wii's Opera browser saved me a lot when some of my hard drive crashed back then. I still didn't have a smartphone!
     
     Just imagine, you cannot surf jackshit on these consoles now, the web is so bloated jesus christ

     @troubledturtle @AWIVR @milk @ooignignoktoo PS2/beginning PS3 was still around the time computers were expensive-ish, and a lot of us were probably still children to some level/college students around that time so having another system that could be a PC wasn't exactly a thing to spit on
