Correct. There was a very complicated and delicate armature inside the drive that guided mini DVDs to the center. The revised Wii had a tray-loading drive, and no GameCube compatibility. So even though you could insert GameCube discs without issue, they wouldn’t play.
Those original Wiis still could not handle the Diddy Kong Racing disc due to the non-circular shape.
Floridaman of the people.
John the Revelator got horses levitating on clouds, we get donkeys driving Cybertrucks.
Slot-loading CD drives would get jammed if you inserted anything other than a round, full-sized disc.
Irregular-shaped disc had to use drives that let you secure the disc to the spindle directly.
Speaking of technology sins, there was that one Transporter movie where the guy plugs a third-generation iPod into a security camera via the headphone jack and downloaded a video.
I lost IQ points watching that.
The Ferangi version of “going Old Testament.”
The “prime future” comm badge was first seen in TNG’s All Good Things. It replaced the “fake future” comm badge from earlier in the series that fused the rank pips with the badge. t was later reused multiple times on Voyager. Captain Kim wore it, Captain LaForge wore it, before Endgame.
The hook look to the Picard comm badge makes it look like a bad alternate future. I’m glad Prodigy brought back both the AGT badge and uniforms.
Chicken with a scarf around its neck: “It’s made of PEEOPLEEE!!”
You know you’re getting old when you think, “That’s a decent looking ladle.”
Cassette pastism.

Screenshot of Lemmy via Voyager of a meme and one of the comments replying to it.
The meme is a picture of an invertebrate and reads:
“This is Suzy. Suzy is a basal amniote.
She enjoys sitting in the sun, catching bugs, and laying eggs with extraembryonic membranes.
312 million years ago Suzy had two kids. One evolved into you and the other into a T-Rex. If Suzy isn’t metal as fuck I don’t know who is.”
The reply to this meme reads:
“Yeah, it seemed weird that Janeway and Tom Paris turned into this, but I get it now.”
This man is old enough to have voted for Roosevelt in 1944! (I assume he voted Democrat)
I didn’t realize there was an in-between model. So that’s what that black Wii was!
You inserted a GC disc and it didn’t jam? If a mini DVD went in properly and could be ejected, then those guides for the smaller discs were still there, just the software no longer registered the disc as a game.
