Unironically Japanese people buy ps4/5s and just use it as a dvd player like the fucking retarded people they are.
I can't make this up @Misato I saw this bullshit all the time on streaming sites as I was losing my mind on why they weren't playing games.

@Misato @Yorsshitposter I just use a USB DVD drive for that, and watch on a PC.
And then rip it before giving the DVD back to GEO.

But it's a good joke in Japan.

@ryo @Misato @Yorsshitposter Meanwhile, I use older consoles to watch videos from a flashdrive on a TV from over two decades ago. Using the Wii now. But that's just because the cable that I use for my PS2 is defective and fucks up the audio, and I still have to get another one. I installed a media player on my PS2, but my PS3 is better for that. The Wii is better than the PS2 for that too (player runs more formats, I'm pretty sure), except it has horrible fucking menus with forced motion controls because Nintendo is the Apple of gaming except not overpriced.

@TerminalAutism @Misato @Yorsshitposter Plug in a classic controller into the Wii Remote, and you can navigate using the left control stick and buttons instead.

@ryo @Misato @Yorsshitposter It doesn't solve the problem. The biggest problem with the SheGayRu Wiiamote is that you have to remove the batteries after every time you use it, because it drains them crazy fast, even while it's on. If you put batteries in it and leave it off for a week, it will still kill the batteries. Even with the classic controller hooked up to it, you still have to use a cursor to select things, and it makes it take more space on the table too. The GameCube controller could solve all of that, but it's fucking Nintendo, so it doesn't work, because people wouldn't use their stupid gimmicks if they weren't forced to.
Oh, and just in case you ask yourself why I even own one, it's because the Wii is a GameCube but with easier piracy. Well, at least now. Back in the day I actually wanted to play a few Wii games, though it being a GameCube was a big selling point when I couldn't emulate it quite perfectly enough. Nowadays, it's a GameCube, but less convenient, which is why I barely ever play it. May not seem like much, but having to put batteries, select things in the menus and then take them off, that is enough for me to never play it when I can just open dmenu and type games.

@TerminalAutism @Misato @Yorsshitposter Sounds like you've got really weak batteries then, I remember it kept on working on the same batteries for months upon months even while turned off.
And the Wii U GamePad was a massive downgrade of that, that motherfucker couldn't even last 1 hour on a single charge while on, and not even 12 hours while off.

@ryo @Misato @Yorsshitposter I hate wireless shit with a passion. And you can look up complaints about it, it's a common one about the Wiiamoto. Anyway, after I leave everything I have behind and lose it all, if I get consoles again, I won't get a Wii, I'll just get a GameCube and mod it. I assume you can run games on it from ethernet by now, or at least mod it to run stuff from an SD card. Ideally, every console should just be hooked up to a file server, no disks, no failing optical drives, no nonsense. I modded my PS2 to do that and have seen things like that being done with the Dreamcast, and I assume I can be done on the GameCube as well. That's how every disc-based console should be, because the drives as way too unreliable. Flash carts (like the Everdrive) are enough for superior cartridge-based consoles, though. Then there's also the MiSTer, that can replace a lot of hardware.

@TerminalAutism @Misato @Yorsshitposter Connecting to file servers is even slower than reading from a disc.

@ryo @Misato @Yorsshitposter In a LAN? No way. Old console optical drives are slow as fuck. On the PS2, it's faster than the optical drive, but the drive is faster than USB 1.0 (which is what the PS2 has, which is slow as fuck and makes cutscenes not run properly). A hard drive is also faster, of course, but I have the slim PS2.

@ryo @Misato @Yorsshitposter Well, you can always assume that, because there is no way in hell that I would do that retarded shit.
