PlayStation has no games!
  • @Thassodar I stopped even trying with the PS4 and PS5. They're just PCs in disguise. (Really the PS3 was too, but it was also a bad disguise that improperly cooled it which is why I'm too paranoid even to use mine.) At this point they don't really even have any exclusives I could possibly care about and I already have a PC, so it's like I have enhanced versions of everything but the Switch all in one single box on my desk.

    Still, since this was retrogaming themed we can't ignore PS1 and PS2.

  • @Omegamanthethird Ohhh. It was the other way around. Hah.

    Goldfish have nothing on me!

  • @Omegamanthethird @Thassodar Did they have the six-axis at launch? I'm trying to remember the specifics -- it has been so long -- but I do remember that Sony had a lot of trouble getting the dual shock motors to work together with the six-axis thing for whatever reason (I mean I assume they never run at the same time?) and I thought I remember a delay due to that?

    It has been too long. I don't remember well.

  • @Thassodar Rofl, OUCH. That one definitely stings.

    There were maybe two PS3 games I liked. One I still hold out hopes on getting a western port on the remake. I don't even remember what the other was because I hate even turning my PS3 on.

    To be clear, that's PS3, not "PlayStation" as the original post says though. PS1 and PS2 had *incredible* libraries.

  • @anonybirdy My mother also used it, but was willing to adapt to the Windows version around 7 or so I think. She used it for years and years until one day my father turned Apple fanatic and eventually convinced her Apple was the only one true deity. It was a hot mess trying to get the Mac port to work if I recall (or was that some weird Word port? I forget what she even had.) Eventually she gave up typing.

  • @anonybirdy All official sources (schools, etc) around here were running Microsoft products -- aka Microsoft Word, but several of my family members were almost obsessive about WordPerfect back in the day. My aunt used WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS up until something like 2010. She even had old keyboards with extra function keys for it (went up to something like F20.)

  • How do you guys remember the early days of the internet? What do you miss about it?
  • @bstix @Provider oh god I hate it when I try to look something up and the only thing I can find is some awkward person going "so uh, you uh, click on this and then, uh, type uh that." Like why can't they just type somewhere in a blog or forum or something "type X in a console"?

    I keep hoping to use the social networks for something else. I'd really love to talk about games, music, etc etc. But somehow it always turns political. Don't follow me if you don't want to see potentially either or completely at random.
