This was originally intended to be a project on my "Wii portable." In the end, I obviously never built this. I feel like I should mention a couple things
-My dad didn't own a tesla. This thread was during a time where spoiled rich kids snaps were a thing. I wanted to imitate it as a joke, but I took it way to far. From a more personal note, I remember lying a lot back then.
*I took it way too far, and I apologize for that. In retrospect, I made a fool of someone I look up to a lot.
-In the end, I never built the portable. The primary reason was money. A lot of people said to find work and make money, and that's perfectly fine. The problem is, I wasn't allowed to get a job. In my family, the parents make money while the kids (me) study hard. My dad was cool buying everything for this project as long as it was cheap, but that's not really possible in this hobby. Heck, my plan was to use a Walmart soldering iron for this project. Nowadays, my parents are cool with me getting a job. I think I'll work on a portable sometime down the road.
*Another problem was the end goal. For most people into this hobby, portablizing involves getting out of your comfort zone to build something great. My goal was have a device where I could play pirated games. Staying motivated while having that as a goal isn't viable.
-If there were pretentious assholes scouring around, just know that it wasn't me. I left this scene during the summer of 2017. I gained an interest in cars, then music, then electronics. I might work on a portable one day.
I'm kind of glad that I never started the portable, because building a Wii portable require a lot of talent. I didn't possess the talent, so I saved myself 2-300 dollars. I want to thank the Bitbuilt and Modretro staff and members for tolerating my BS. Even though there was no evidence of me building a portable, you still helped out. I'm grateful.
I'm really sorry for everything I did. It's shameful that I was a negative part of console modding history. I look at old emails and decided to delete my account it out of embarrassment and shame. Although I tried deleting as many things, I can't delete everything. I feel like editing these posts will soften the blow to my reputation.
