2005 was a good year for the PSP.

Pursuit Force and Wipeout Pure both came out that year.

like all the stuff outside the game is so good. he keeps complaining about the days getting hotter, or asks me questions about my dinner. all my memories of brain age were overwritten by me yelling SLOW DOWN at head count or the fucking math problems and colored words that I totally forgot about all the charming in-betweens

also I cant STAND it when the brain age test gives me the one where I have to memorize words for 2 minutes and then write them out. I just hate waiting fucking two fucking minutes looking at words itā€™s the worst i just want to get on with it every other activity is something I interact with immediately I see that Iā€™m assigned thst one and I just want to slam my clam shell shut

I have been meaning to update this thread for a minuteā€¦

Inspired by @SUPERSONNICK , I returned to Shadow of the Colossus. I played this when it was originally released and memories came back. I realize that I played it many times back then. I found myself here, twenty years later, performing the role of Wander as if it was second nature. Itā€™s very special to me.

One odd quirk about this time is how much I spent hopping on rocks trying to find odd places to stand on. Thereā€™s often a grey area that you can traverse where no developer intended you to go, and yet the game allows a foothold here and there. I just wanted to live in that world longer and explore its contours. There are so many nooks. What appears to be a vast emptiness from afar is teeming with life.

So yes, of course I vote for Shadow of the Colossus.
