>>1553783Okay so, a bit of important context:
I keep my Wii and my other consoles in a set of special shelves for them that my TV sits on top of, and the wires for each one come through a hole in the back of the cabinet to the TV so they're not trailing all over the place. In particular the Wii is on the bottom shelf and tricky to see and get at compared to a higher shelf.
So after testing the day before that the Wii was working just fine, in order to bring it over I reached behind the Wii and simply pulled all of the wires and stuff out of the back of it so that I could take the Wii out of the front of the cabinet and then pull the wires from the back out of the hole.
While pulling the wires out of the back of the Wii, I also pulled out the little USB that was sitting in the back of it, the little USB that had all of my games on it, and did not remember it existed at all until early this morning. This morning I finally had a post nut clarity or something and looked for it, finding the little USB sat there on the bottom shelf of the cabinet where the Wii usually is. For the last week I genuinely thought that all of my games were on the SD card because I recently softmodded my 3DS and put all of my games onto the SD card, the experience of which blended together for my Wii and my brain at no point in the last week registered taking out the USB from the back or any sort of knowledge that I was using one with the Wii, until this morning.
Fuck.
