@fuomag9 @monorailtimes That's right, RiiConnect24, community's mostly dead but still works for important use cases like seeing the former president's jail booking photo on a Wii

@drewharwell @monorailtimes I'd say that's well worth it ​​

@drewharwell I followed that project a while ago and played around with installing it but never kept up. What exactly died with the community, lack of updates/users? The last I remember they wanted to revive the Check Mii Out channel, can’t remember if they ever finished that or not.

@monorailtimes @drewharwell There's a private server called RiiConnect24 that restores a lot of the Wii's online functionality

@grouchox @drewharwell it's taken with a cheap 20 year old camera so it does look like that

@blake @drewharwell I'm calling it: they used an old publicity shot out of a weird sense of decorum
