If you ever get bored of your Wii U, or want to make it a bit more powerful, I'd suggest softmodding it. I softmodded mine and it's pretty awesome.

 

It doesn't mod the Wii U part of your system, just the Wii part, so it's basically exactly how one would softmod an old Wii. There's the big obvious reason for doing this, piracy (which is kind of important since not every VC/Wiiware game you can even get legally anymore). But there's stuff it adds that vWii can't do, like hard drive support , online multiplayer, and Gamecube game support (although not disc support, and you'll need specific controllers). It really breathes a bit of life into the Wii part of the Wii U, especially since it doesn't change anything about the Wii U mode of the console.

How do the emulated games look on an HDTV?

[Monkeydog]

Perfect.

I have played Earthbound, Super Mario World, and Mario Kart 64 and nothing looked off. Although they don't try to upscale or anything, I think. They just keep the aspect ratio of the original.

you can get some metal bonding epoxy at home depot i bet

[lazlo falconi]

Yeah fixing the exhaust is usually cheaper than buying a new car.

We can fix it temporarily sure, but his car has a ton more issues with it than just that. It's best if we retire the poor thing. It'll be nicer to get a slightly newer car anyway. Getting a bigger car is the aim. With kids and all it'll be easier to travel about. Saturns don't really have a ton of space.

That's what counts buddy!

+++++ Libertarian candidates are breaking into offices!!!! Queue party music!

+++ Received one of my inheritances

--- Haven't been on here much but you guys probably didn't miss me

+ Not after popularity

++++++++++++++++ Purchased a DD M4 V7, a CZ P-09 Duty in black, combat armor, combat boots, gas mask w/ multiple filters, military style backpack, tactical canvas pants, laser optic, high-capacity mags, a decent amount of full metal jacket ammunition, drop-leg holster, belt with two clip pouches, tactical tomahawk, military style compass, MOLE compass pouch, and more is in the process. I'm thinking I might also purchase an M21 Tactical with a krieger barrel and long-range scope buuuuut they're hard to find and damn expensive. 

Yes, that last part was to poke fun at you people who feel safer being helpless. 

 

Life is really looking up.

+ Successfully asked and received tomorrow off (earlier in the week) in order to go to a birthday party

+ Tara coincidentally has tomorrow off, so she doesn't have to call off in order to go to the birthday party

-- Discovered that the party is actually next Saturday, not tomorrow

+ At least we found this out before leaving in the morning to drive an hour to the party location?

--- I work next Saturday

+ But will hopefully be able to switch with someone so I can still go?

 

-- I'm pretty sure that the wages I'm making at this part-time job aren't going to be enough to cover my bills

+ I have money saved up for this potential issue while I continue looking for film jobs (the reason I moved out here in the first place)

--- I have no idea how to find film jobs, apparently

 

- Speaking of cars, mine is making random squeaking/wind-like noises that don't sound good at all

+ Tara's uncle works with cars, and will hopefully be willing to look at mine

- But we're no longer heading that way tomorrow...

 

 I shall have to think about this more.
