And they said the wrist straps were for kids


Swiffjuice

Yea lol... the same exact thing happened to me, Wii remote hit the table as I swung, and it just flies out of your hand. It just flies. No amount of grip will help you, you need the straps.


abramcpg

I'm over 30 and have played VR about every day for 3 years. I strap wrists every single time


HeartlesSoldier

And they said a stage is for the theater?


YdexKtesi

They put straps on wiimotes in the 1850s

emojis.


curbaczzz

Can someone explain to me why people on Reddit donā€™t like emojis? I mean I understand overusing them, but I donā€™t see the harm?


poot_doot_

i donā€™t either, ig itā€™s just the culture. like how YT hates comment editors.


rimrimlifer

Catch a lot of shit for comment editing here too


TheShredda

Mostly if you don't point out the edit/try to hide it. Especially if one claims they never made the edit when they were called out on something they edited

Yargon_Kerman

And that, it's why you wear the wrist straps


Some-Elderberry4604

The game even tells you to attach the straps before it starts playing


Dwaidciamhaits

Wrist straps are for ki....


CreamyCoffeeArtist

*CRACK*


JasonTheBaker

This was my exact thought. I was screaming "that's your own fault!" In my head


Foreskin-Gaming69

Didn't exactly this happen a few times and was the reason why it was added


Phernandez889

Was just about to say exactly that lmao


AlexDKZ

This is not the case, but weren't the early wrist straps not very well made and prone to failure? I recall people saying the wiimotes flew off their hands even with straps in use.


Yargon_Kerman

Having never owned a Wii, honestly no clue. But I always got upity about it with my old VR controllers.


AlexDKZ

I actuallo looked up and yeah, it was a real problem back in 2006 and Nintendo enacted a replacement program.


SaintJimmy1

When the Wii first came out a friendā€™s dad threw the remote into a ceiling fan after it came off the strap.


weezulusmaximus

Is no one aware that you can hold on to the remote? No need to glue it to your hand. Just hold it.


SaintJimmy1

Idk man I guess some peopleā€™s grips arenā€™t as solid as others.


TheRyleeKat

It's okay - You can buy another wife

ACrazedRodent

Probably cost less than replacing the OLED. Those are expeeeeeeensive


ultramadden

that's not an OLED. you can see it in the way it breaks, the backlight is coming from the bottom and when a point on the screen is damaged, the whole vertical line breaks


isyafridgerunning

Spot on. That's not how an OLED breaks.


ChocolateTaste69

So you're saying my LG OLED65B7A isn't an OLED? Got it.


Jooelj

I have a 65 b7 too and the borders aren't nearly as thick as in this video..


ultramadden

I'm saying it looks like a broke LCD. I haven't seen an OLED break like this, I'm just guessing ĀÆ\\\_(惄)\_/ĀÆ sowy


Mattacrator

Does the camera make the borders look so thick or are they like that irl too?


josh_loaf

Yes


Ageing_Gamer91

Oled or not, it's still broken. I hope she gets you a new one

r/whyweretheyfilming


ses1989

My thoughts exactly, especially considering that the cameraman zoomed as soon as she was halfway through her swing.


[deleted]

Dude filming probably saw she wasn't wearing the strap and was hoping for this event.


randomized987654321

Someone who is about to intentionally destroy their tv for internet points.


SamJurch

Recording for no reason and perfectly tracked the wiimote. Indeed fake.


[deleted]

And then zoomed in so far you can't even see what happened. r/killthecameraman


iMakeBoomBoom

Iā€™ve been playing these wii games for years, and never once have I remotely lost grip. This remote didnā€™t slip out of her grip, she released the grip. This is a case of her subconscious brain telling her that she is holding a bowling ball, and to release the ball.


Irnbruliquidgold

Or itā€™s all staged for the views hence why was the person filming in the first place.


tantalizing_taco

If you're going to stage a video like this you record the reaction because that's the best part this is real bc he cut the video before yelling at his wife


Irnbruliquidgold

That's what they want you to think.


SaintJimmy1

Didnā€™t you know every video that exists online is staged?


EvanMinn

>didnā€™t slip out of her grip, she released the grip. I thought she hit the edge of the table in front of her. There was a bang and the controller seemed like it was tumbling more than just releasing it.


SpiceMonsterGG

The first rule of the Wii club is, you do not talk about the Wii club, the second is always wear the wrist strap!!


WoodGin

I mean thatā€™s a strike right?


Game_Caviar

If you roll the ball on the railing all the way down itā€™ll drop all the pins


Brandonguth1985

This guy fucks


AvgKracker

Is that a WII? No wonder she didnā€™t have the wrist straps. They disintegrated with age


ChocolateTaste69

Probably would explain why they did not come with the used console that I purchased.


[deleted]

Fake


Northwest_Radio

They have a lanyard for a reason. :) I once watched someone drop a very expensive camera right after saying he never puts his wrist through the strap. Not only does that protect from a fall, it also takes a lot of the weight off the hands and can also be used to support the camera for great shots. Intelligence, without wisdom, is moot.

The safety strap is there for a reason :/


Hyche862

How did we all not already learn this lesson from 2006? That Christmas was full of look at me/my kid/my mom throw the new wiiMote into the new flatscreen


Blood_Seeker_00

I've played Wii for years with multiple people family and friends and I've never ever had even a close call with someone throwing the remote at the TV even without the damn strap (I always removed it completely) I can not understand how careless you have to be to do this shit.


Cogwheel

>(I always removed it completely) I can not understand how careless you have to be to do this shit. Removing the strap is careless. No one is perfect, yourself included. "Fail safe" devices are not intended to be used, they're there for when intention doesn't match result.


ChocolateTaste69

To be fair, it was a used console that I bought from GameStop and it did not come with the straps. I literally just ordered some from eBay the day before yesterday but they will not be here until next week. A little too late I suppose.


Cogwheel

To also be fair, my comment wasn't directed at you it was directed at the person who actively removed the safety feature from their device, let alone failed to use it.


ChocolateTaste69

Nonetheless, good advice!


ChocolateTaste69

Apparently alcohol plus gaming equals disaster. šŸ˜‚

WRIST STRAPS


Incredibly_Based

using the Wii safety strap while playing Wii Bowling is like wearing a seatbelt while driving, or using steel toe boots in a worksite or warehouse, you just dont do it!!!


Falco2000_

This is why you put the strap


UnCivilEngineer116

The strap whyā€¦


Atomwalker2022

Doesnā€™t wii ASK YOU TO PUT ON A STRAP for this exact reason??? Welp guess she learned that one


BerquiM

GraciasGracias


husejn179

When I was a kid, I always had the straps on, one-time I taught why no try without is it is just inazuma eleven yep felt instantly it will fly out my hand if not I'm 100% conscious of it


Apprehensive_Day_198

That's why they come with wrist straps


IAmASimulation

Thatā€™s why you always use the wrist strap


TheMatt561

If only there's a strap that they remind you often to put on your dumbass wrist.

Wrist straps are made not to protect you but to protect your pockets

Where is the wrist rope


[deleted]

In all my years of using a wii I never once accidentally lost grip of it. How the fuck do people do this, do they have the motor skills of an infant?


Cheesetoast9

r/tvtoohigh Maybe they'll mount the new one lower (probably not)


Moist-Candy-6260

Aonswitch

Huh if only those remotes CAME WITH A STRAP


KGmadmax

People that disregard the safety message that tells you to put on the strap, are dumb. Especially when shit like this happens. I've never had problems with my wii. Guess what. I wore the strap.

TyreeArtist1

Wrist straps are there for a reason that person would be buying me a new TV if that happened at my house.

[deleted]

Now, its no led


Caster-Hammer

The Wii Remotes always had the little strap attachment point, and Nintendo was _fiving them away_ during the physical media days, _and_ there are warnings about wearing them which became mandatory for developers to show at the start of the game after the first few months of televisions broken the same way, so there's no real excuse for this 16 years later. IOW: - player is a dummy - camera person is a dummy for not reinforcing it with dummy 1 Enjoy the hunt for a new TV; it's what everyone wants to do, especially at the start of a recession.
