I have yet to do a "My Thoughts on Sony Blog" but now I'm motivated to go ruthless on them when I eventually make that blog. It'll be worse than the Xbox one.

For those who don't know, Neocities has a command line interface where you can update your webpage without using a browser or other tools other than the terminal of your choice: https://neocities.org/cli

I'm gonna attempt to try it using my 3D printed computer to update my webpage and files. I think it would be neat to use it like a dedicated blogging device.

Your download code for your America simulator, sir. That'll be 100 dollars plus tip.

Debating between updating my site using Kakoune or Vim. You can use any text editor honestly.

I added (test) to my Most Recent Update and it worked. I can now update this website with some terminal commands from my 3D printed RISCV computer.

"There's a dark underbelly to the suburbs... all those peaceful looking white people who live there are secretly evil"...... the worst Gen X fiction trope. So common and so tedious.

I love Sega but if I'm honest they were always inferior to Nintendo in many ways. Even my favorite Sega console, the Genesis, has its annoyances. Too many "notable" Genny games are style over substance and a pain the ass to play (looking at something like Comix Zone). The average Genesis game always controls looser and twitchier than the average SNES game, which were typically "weightier."

Also too many Genesis platformers have that "one big room" design. Sonic being the prime example. SNES drunk talks about this.

Put it all back together and stress tested the console using Uncharted 2 because that's a graphically challenging game for the system. Played for an hour and only noticed a strange smell (Not sure if it's something burning or maybe it's the new thermal paste or perhaps I'm very close to burning my house down).

Played a couple of minutes later and didn't have any abrupt shutdowns, cmos battery seems fine, and I guess the fan is working because I can hear it and warm air is coming out from the vents. I guess I succeed? It was a pain in the ass with all the different non-standardized screws.

Something I noticed about Uncharted 2 as I started from the beginning is that yellow paint meme. I had no idea it was abundant in this generation too. When you're aware of it, it's blatantly obtrusive.

Agree. I give the 3DS remakes a pass just for that, even if they did change a few things.

Also doesn't come with a controller unless you pay $100 more and only 512GB of storage!

"Playing online should be a basic human right" so true also i hate that the 360 started achievements, they ruined video games by turning them into checklists.

Also forgot to mention how wonderful Halo's OST really is. I would love to play Halo 3: ODST someday just for the music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWh9l8RSkPk

When the Xbox One was in development it was announced that it would have always-online DRM. Even though they ended up reversing this I decided to never buy one of their consoles again.
Going from Kakoune to Vim is nauseating but I'm trying. Excuse any mistakes or typos. Vim has an spellcheck that highlights misspellings which is pretty useful.
I can hear the cicadas tonight. It's just like my animes.
Soon enough the only physical games available will be by companies like ModRetro or whatever. It's a market that will exist but be very niche. The "tenth generation" will suck balls.
Pretty much. It'll be indies or games released on older platforms like Dreamcast, Game Boy Color, etc. I find that pretty cool but modern gaming is a lost cause at this point.
enjoy the cicadas! +fuck s*ny. i'd say people get what they deserve when they start "buying" digital-only ps5 games but the innocent unborn will never even know what owning a game feels like thanks to them.
