Center and bottom right is kind of the same. Not sure which to cross if it happens.

That is why I also want PS3. XBOX 360 is a classic and a great example of what console should be. But certain PS3 exclusives make it worth to get sony’s console. GOW series, Kingdom Hearts series, MotorStorm, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, The Last of Us (I know it got out to PC and newer consoles, but back then it was locked in) and some I cant recall right now but know they are there - bunch of great games I would love to play too.
Feels that in order to have peace, I need to get the infinity
stonesconsoles. I badly want PS2 but afaik PS3 has backwards compitability with PS2 and PS1 so that covers my needs. Wii - it just is an epic console with completely different taste to it. - Comment on [UPDATE] Gifted xbox 360 S 2 days ago:
Thanks! This was not so difficult. There are so many options on programmers and I am lucky as hell for getting Trinity - the most easiest one to hack with RGH3. The hacking/homebrew community is so huge with this console!

My model is Trinity. Apparently, the easiest to RGH3 it. My soldering skills are above average. I possess needed tools and components.
I thought to just do ABadAvatar too but I still wanted to disassemble Xbox to change thermal paste and clean dust. So might as well solder 2 wires and a resistor while at it. This console will never be used with ms account anyway so why the hell not to hard hack it? 😅

As far as I know, there is Clone Hero homebrew.
I used to have full rockband set and an jtagged phat console. It was epic!
I also own rocksmith cable with pc version of the game. Hope I can use it with Xbox too.

I think it still requires firmware flasher that costs a hefty sum.

That is what I am up to. Not sure what is the best way to do it yet.
- Comment on Got gifted an XBOX360 S. What now? 4 days ago:
I possess soldering skills so that is no issue.
I been reading and things are confusing for me. Some say that I only need 2 wires to run across the motherboard and run ABadAvatar. But if I read ConsoleMods wiki, it seems that I need a programmer. I have ordered rpi pico for this and will dive into it once I figure out the process.

A certified, bona fide banger! I am lucky having it in Steam.

I am specifically looking into modding. Is there anything cool I can do with it besides ABadAvatar? I am planning to expand storage to 1TB SSD. Drive also can be flashed but it seems to be super expensive to get flashing tool for that.
Also, if I go ABadAvatar route, is there a way to lock xbox into autobooting directly into Aurora without waiting for ABadAvatar to perform unschackle?

Personal anecdote, so take it with a grain of salt.
Friend A, very handy and skilled individual, took Thermodynamics in UNI for 2 years, then dropped out. Found job at electronics production facility. Managed to get to a Head Technician position.
Friend B, went to programming 3 years to UNI. Barely managed to finish. Retried math exam multiple times. Though friend A, managed to get a job at the same place as a lower tier machinery operator. Got promoted to technician position after 2 years. Now works as web QC for the same guy who is boss of electronic production facility.
Moral of the story: education, finished or not, existing or not, wont get you far unless you are outgoing and have connections. Also, you either have ability to learn new skills or have said skills and know how to use them. Doesn’t matter how you got them.

For the most part you do not need expensive JBC tools or some super expensive testing tools.
If you plan to dive in, start simple with some USB soldering iron, multimeter and some cheap 20V labratory PSU. I found FNIRSI offers a USB-PD soldering iron with JBC tips for under $100 that is comparable to Weller 80W professional soldering station I got at work.
The other part is just trial and error. Try with simple electronics or guides. Get the general idea on how things work. Most of problems are already solved. It is easy to find repair guide for some old gaming tech or how to chip your consoles.
Have fun!

If you did soldering for the first time - your joins are pristine. They are completely fine unless you want to fulfill IPC-A-610 standard.

I liked how you could download free trial LimeWire but then download cracked version off it and use premium features. Fun times

- Comment on Sunglasses suggestions 1 week ago:
At one of my previous jobs there was a guy with really expensive looking glasses. Something like gold plated aviator type but really fancy looking. Job was 1000% not as well paid to buy anything like this. I have asked him about his glasses and he gave a nice pro tip: Just buy used frame and put lenses inside yourself.
Makes sense. Used frames are dirt cheap. Senses are not so expensive for a simple sunglasses with no dyoptres. Can go fancy and get some scratchproof polarized lenses and not overpay for a $500 raybans.
Also, afaik, rayban owns pretty much any other glass brand. So, pointless to get rayban for so expensive.

Wdym when Steam was not dominant? Minecraft was released in 2009 and by that time tons of games were sold on Steam and there was barely any competition except maybe infamous GFWL and GOG who were certainly not a decent competitors in any way.
For Minecraft it took a few years to become widely popular. I think it only took off around beta 1.1-1.2 which is about 2010-2011. By 2011 Steam was an unstoppable game-selling supermachine.

The game is Horses and they got huge ad campaign out of it. Thing is, game is mid and wouldn’t sell a thousand copies without the shitstorm they’ve built up.
Look. Minecraft originally was not sold on any platforms except directly by mojang and is probably the most famous indie game to date. It is not death sentence unless your product is crap. But it is a certain bonus to be sold on the most popular platform.

First day I saw this dress and thought it was white and gold. Next day I saw another picture that was blue and black and I couldn’t unsee it. I went and found the same picture from exactly that source I saw the other day. It was blue and black. My brain broke.

Double edged sword.
If we don’t act fast enough, many will die. If we acted too fast with untested vaccine, people may die. I guess will and may are very important here. Would be much preferable if we didn’t suddenly discover and spread the deadly virus.

No prices for both new xbox and Steam Machines has been announced. How do you know which would be more expensive?
- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 1 month ago:
It is approx 9 teaspoons of sugar per 300ml bottle. Typical tea cup is 250-300ml. Imagine putting 9 teaspoons of sugar in your tea or coffee. Fucking gross.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 month ago:
Not that I know of. They supposed to announce prices in the first quarter of 2026 but due to memory shortage they have postponed it. As for shipping, they have claimed that they are still planning to launch shipping by the end of first half of 2026. Price is estimated at $800-$1000. Shortage might increase it.
