@evie It's weird that the out of service message is slanted slightly. I could only tell by looking at the word "Temporarily" and how it slowly slants down through the top of one of the windows. Is it like, clear plastic film slapped on top of the screen or something?

There's something so special about seeing borked out screens in the wild

@vyr @irisjaycomics I wanna try this with deliberately banged up and slightly torn and curling posters with corners that have long since dropped off and where the colours are fading, putting them in frames, like they're really, really old, like, turn of the century, very first moving picture theatre posters, but like, they're of entirely modern movies with modern designs, just they look ridiculously old like an apocalypse happened or something.

Giraffe and Annika is out! It’s a very cute mix of action/adventure game and rhythm game. I loved the demo, really looking forward to playing the full game. store.steampowered.com/app/112

@Ivafakename The Wii was also amazing for lightgun games which had previously been sorely lacking in home representation due to its sensor bar. There were a fair degree of really great games for the Wii too. Shame the WiiU felt like such a stop-gap measure, like it was halfway between a console and a handheld, but like the handheld bit was just... tacked on and not well implemented, especially with the lack of the dedicated wiimote type thing. The Switch does what the WiiU does way better mind.

@solitaire oh I think I will copy that floppy.

@Ivafakename right?? If nothing else, the Wii was amazing just for the menus and channels, which weren't even originally on the console either

like t he Wii menu music was this... really lovely tinkling, ambient, relaxing tune. It's super pleasant to listen to like raindrops falling onto little musical sensor things.

honestly the various internal Wii channel musics were just... really good?

I'm glad they'll live on forever even as memes.

this garbage-ass toot inspired by me yawning, as I sit down at my pc, and letting out a long musical sigh which morphs without my conscious decision into the Mii Channel music. literally just happened.
