- Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!) 3 hours ago:
it had quite a few gems. The WipEout games were some of the best in the series, the God of War games were very good. Battlefield II on it was great. Final Fantasy Tactics and Crisis Core. Jeanne D’Arc was one of the best tactics game ever. Ys Seven, Megaman Powered Up, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Ape Escape, the Killzone game on it was very good, LocoRocco 1 and 2, Final Fantasy Dissida, Monster Hunter, Daxter, Special Agent Clank, and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.
- Comment on RetroDECK Is More Than Emulation: An Interview with the Devs (my article!) 3 days ago:
basically RetroDeck is a one and done type of deal. one package (flatpak) that has everything pre-configured and good to go as opposed to say RetroArch where you have to pick your cores (emulators) and what have you. on say a SteamDeck something like RetroDeck is naturally going to be easier to use and set up but when it comes to a Linux desktop it’s all really a non-factor. Like for example most distro repos have either a complete library of the cores for Retroarch or you can pick and choose which ones you want. like on Arch for example the package “libretro” will give you everything or on Nix/NixOS you can pick and choose which ones to install with Retroarch.

I’m so sorry.
It was March or April of 2008 and I worked in the porn industry as a web developer and moderator for user submitted content sites. One site in particular that I managed was gaytube which at the time was owned by Twisty’s/Pink Visual/Carsed Marketing. As a moderator for gaytube it was my responsibility to approve or deny all user submitted content to the site. and there was a lot of it. daily. Affiliate content got approved regardless but users had to be vetted. enter a guy from Eastern Europe named Alexi or Alex.
He’d submit stuff constantly of shoving things up his ass. like whatever it was. food, random objects, whatever. One day in March or April of 2008 he submitted this clip. all of it. in it’s entirety. I watched it. I was one of if not the first person OTHER than Alexi to watch this thing. so. much. blood.
Naturally I had to deny it. But even after denying a clip I still had access to the upload. Now since I was in the industry I had access to all the industry forums and other user sites that people in the industry would use like the message board “gofuckyourself” (seriously, that’s what it was called). I was on speaking terms with the guy that ran efukt and I would always share with him weird shit via gofuckyourself that would get submitted to one of the many sites I worked on like the victorian era E.T. porn or the duct tape ninja turtles porn for example. So I decided to send him this clip. he uploaded it. the rest is history.
- Comment on Anon misses flash 1 week ago:
yeah it was “all the rage” in the early 00’s up to like the early 10’s. Pain in the ass to build, even worse to maintain and update. but EVERYONE wanted a cool interactive flash site. It’s just trends with companies. I remember after flash it was all paralax. everyone wanted paralax. thankfully that was a lot easier to build since it was just HTML5. but yeah web dev trends are annoying because you’re constantly having to learn new stacks that you know will become irrelevant in like 3 years or less once some middle manager discovers something “cool”.
I’m all about using Astro + Tailwind because it reminds me of building Geocities sites and I like that.
- Comment on Anon misses flash 1 week ago:
yeah it was fine to play games on or see neat websites but it was absolute garbage to build and maintain with.
fresh out of college one of my first jobs was a web master for an ad agency whose site was purely built in flash/actionscript. It was the absolute worst to update. I hated it. I was one of those that celebrated flash and actionscripts downfall.

Fun fact. ICQ was the the go to messaging platform for the porn industry and was actively being used in the industry right up to the point it was bought by a russian company.

- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 3 weeks ago:
it does but with Twitch it’s a constant battle. you can go for days or weeks on end and it’ll work great then boom a few days to a week and it won’t work anymore until the maintainers figure out yet another way to circumvent twitch ads.
It just got to a point for me where I just stopped using twitch. I mean the site overall and the content/streamers have just gotten a lot worse in the past few years and there’s really nothing on there anymore worth watching.
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem | Review Thread 3 weeks ago:
I thought the exact same thing when I watched the OSW Review of RE8 the other day. I thought it was still like a few months to a year away….then again it always seems like that with RE. I mean hell feels like 8 didn’t come out all that long ago.
Welp looks like I can FINALLY put down Mewgenics for something else this weekend.

- Comment on But the Canadien stock market is over 33,000! 5 weeks ago:
Don’t go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter in then cause….god damn it’s all they’ll show. OH and if you’re lucky, Friday Nights too.
in my 40+ years being Canadian i’ve YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they’ll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don’t get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.
- Comment on "It's going to be a very long goodbye" - Peter Molyneux's last game will be Masters of Albion, but that's not necessarily as simple as it sounds 5 weeks ago:
I loved the original Black & White way back in the day but I never really clicked with his other games, even Fable.
I just remember the mini documentary that Tech TV had on him that they would repeat over and over. and even way back then he was getting called out on his over promising for his games. like the original Fable was a fraction of what he promised it would be.
