Can confirm about the unrest. My friend group is discussing these events daily. And a few of them are actually going out and protesting. I’m likely to join in this summer.
- Comment on Any Xbox 360 Can Now Be Hacked with Just a USB Flash Drive 1 week ago:
I’m gonna have to buy a 360 now to jailbreak and rip its games.
Been doing that for PS1-4, GC, Wii, Wii U, Switch, and OG Xbox. Now it’s time for the 360 to join the ranks. - Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 weeks ago:
The only issue with Stuntman on emulators is it’s one the last remaining games not playable on PCSX2. There’s been consistent issues with the AI pathing on one of the levels and they haven’t been able to patch it after all these years.
I’m not saying it won’t ever be, but it may continue to be unplayable on non-native hardware for a while longer. - Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 weeks ago:
I am not ashamed to admit it either. I even made the effort to get the PS2 ports of the two games that released on PSP, however I still need to play those.
It is a goal of mine to have every single R&C game playable on my PC. The only one I’m still waiting on is the PS4 version, and it’s only a matter of time with ShadPS4. - Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t tried the R&C collection on RPCS3 yet even though I have a copy. The compatibility list has it under In Game with some graphical bugs and glitches, but it was last updated nearly 5 years ago, so things may have improved.

Luckily since you have a Deck, you can realistically change your thumbsticks should they get damaged.
- Comment on Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! 4 weeks ago:
No one mentioned the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank games. Those were my childhood growing up and in my opinion hold up gameplay-wise to this day.
Plus the Jak series have a native launcher called OpenGOAL.
While I never played them myself, I have heard good things about the Sly Cooper series.

Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc is where it’s at. I consider that peak Rayman. Would love another game with that vibe.
- Comment on What emotion is this? 1 month ago:
The mechanics are definitely a bit clunky which adds to the difficulty. But outside of that, the game doesn’t feel that difficult to play.
Then again, I only got to the yard as a kid, so maybe the game gets noticeably harder after that. - Comment on What emotion is this? 1 month ago:
Lol, when I played it as a kid, it was on my grandma’s tiny ~13" CRT, so I can’t imagine the tv was doing much heavy lifting. My housemate does have a 60" TV I could try though…

Reminds me I gotta finish this game. I have it emulated on my phone. I only finished the house so far. It’s weird playing it as an adult versus as a kid. Back then the game felt much bigger and more difficult.

I like that he’s being environmentally friendly by using metal straws.
Or is that because real straws would disintegrate in the gasoline?
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 months ago:
I bought that Saturday morning at full price. No regerts. In 5 days, I dumped about 30 hours into it.
- Comment on Whale Falls 4 months ago:
And think about the impact the whaling industry had on these environments back in the 1800 and 1900s. Who knows how much damage we did and how many potential animals we caused the extinction of by doing that.

You can’t just say that and not link a source talking about this mammal.

That’s Derpleton from Centaurworld. Is a weird, but good show. Would recommend.

The left one. It’s the Giraffe’s neck that’s long. Not their torso.

Alternatively, you can contact/ask the people who wrote the paper if they can send you a copy of it. Usually they’ll gladly send it to you for free. I don’t believe they get any of the profit from the journal subscriptions/purchases. So they have no incentive to withhold it from anyone.

- Comment on Aluminum 7 months ago:
Titanium is awesome, though. Has similar corrosion properties to aluminum (in that it only oxidizes on the surface), is similar in strength to iron/steel, but is only about 60% of the weight iron. So it’s lighter.
Plus if you mix in molybdenum and I think some nickel, you can have yourself a very long lasting spring that won’t sag like steel springs after several years.
Main downside is it’s so expensive compared to iron :( - Comment on PlayStation 4 Emulation on the PC has hit a huge milestone - Modern Vintage Gamer 7 months ago:
I need to get me a jailbreakable PS4 so I can start ripping my collection.
- Comment on Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about 8 months ago:
That reminds me of the barium sulfate paint that was discovered a couple years ago. It’s so incredibly good at reflecting/moving heat that it could even cool whatever it’s painted on. I’ll have to find a source on this again…

And Finnlandic
- Comment on 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5 9 months ago:
Something to keep in mind: Official support for the PS2 was only 12 years. The PS4 is now at 11 years.
It will most likely have a longer officially supported life than the PS2. - Comment on qt π 10 months ago:
This post is from 2018. I wonder if we learned anything more about this furry friend.

It would be cool to see a sequel to Control. I want to learn more about this universe. And to work more with Ahti.
- Comment on What do companies get out of rewards programs 11 months ago:
I can kind of answer this question. For a year, I worked at a big box store where you can “save big money”. They had periodic training and one of the modules was on their store card.
The question was, “Why do we want people to have our card?”
I replied, “Because we don’t have the standard credit card fees.”
“No, it’s because of loyalty. If they have a [big box store] card, then they’re much more likely to spend their money here instead of [competitor].” - Comment on Every generation has different challenges 11 months ago:
I was able stop drinking pop fairly easily as a teen, but I still had problems with drinking other super sugary drinks like V8’s “fruit” juice or Simply Lemonade.
One thing I did was start drinking tea, particularly fruity flavors. Those are rather flavorful for teas and helped wean me off those other sugary drinks.
Plus with tea basically being flavored water, it made the jump to drinking straight up water even easier. I still drink tea, mind you, but I also drink a lot of straight water. - Comment on Title 1 year ago:
I see the similarities, but the Nowhere King had more legs.
