I always associate it with Rise Against’s “Paper Wings” but looking at the tracklist, dang it wasn’t far off from just my ipod at the time.

My Quintessential “Videogame That Looks Like A Videogame” is Leisure Suit Larry 6, and I wish it was anything else so I didn’t have to think about Leisure Suit Larry 6.

Now that PS5s are actually in stock at Amazon, do I buy the digital edition or whatever, or hold out for the rumors of a revised hardware version later this year? I have no reason to think that such a thing wouldn’t still look like a '57 Chevy…but I hold out hope for some reason.

And if/when I do get a PS5, do I sell the PS4? Trying to convince myself backwards compatibility means there’s no need to stockpile consoles anymore (and thank goodness, my cupboard is now just about full), but I feel weirdly reluctant at the thought of parting from it. What if the games I want to play have slightly more lag on the 5? What if the 5 broke? : P And if I did sell the 4, should I keep the DS4? Couldn’t hurt to have a 2nd pad around, right?

if you ever wanted to play psvr1 games you might need a dualshock 4

also if there’s anyone you’d want to gift it to, you can set it up so that someone can sign in on their own account on your old ps4 and still access your whole ps4 digital library… pretty good deal if the stars align right

I say keep the DS4. But the idea of a revised PS5 in the future just seems like such a nonevent from my perspective. They could make it smaller I guess, but I didn’t find it to be as big as the pictures I saw online before I got one. And what more could you really want from the hardware? At this point I doubt throwing more processing power at Sony studios is going to result in games that look much better or don’t suffer from indulgent performance issues. It’s up to you to get rid of the PS4, but as someone who plays on one of those everyday for work I was so happy to get rid of it and haven’t missed the experience at all. I gave it to a friend (or tried to, USPS left it outside and it got jacked!! I can only hope they’re gaming).

Oh I hope they don’t make a more powerful Pro thing or anything. I just want a black box I can stack, instead of a curved white finny thing.

one thing people rarely mention is that the (digital) PS5 is basically silent and the PS4 is real fucken loud, some louder than others but all with noticeable noise

i don’t have a disc PS5 but i’d imagine the disc would be the loudest part there

It looks like the more reliable rumors point to this year’s PS5 revision having minor tweaks like easier-to-upgrade SSD slot, not a size difference.

Thanks to the miracle of AI, it seems unlikely Sony will be able to order less power-hungry chips right now, and presumably it’s this large because it needs a lot of room to cool them.

So many designers were afraid to model hair in that age. I’m amazed at how they are each so similar and yet nothing between them is exactly the same.

there’s a piece of music in destiny that plays during a six-player encounter where you need to count off seconds on a timer to your teammates. it’s 125 bpm so you’ll fuck up if you start counting on the beat
