what is it?
iirc this is the screen you would get when the PS2 was borked and wouldn’t boot properly, or something like that. It’s been a long time but I do still remember the terror I associate with this image lol
It was a disc read error. In that era, the most likely issue was that your disc was too beat up to work properly.
Another big reason, a lot of the earlier PS2 models had a poor quality laser that would go bad really quick
That kind of trauma is probably why I had stopped using optical media by 2005.
That explains why I also remembered the smell and texture of toothpaste lol
Oh, so kind of like the red ring of death for us xbox kids!
did i wonder into Instagram or some such nonsense? The 'verse is supposed to be just us old nerds.
Bruh, 30 is the new 60 because of gestures wildly all around
I was trying to figure out some Commodore 64 screen I was looking at.
