Pirky

I’ve been repeatedly disappointed with most modern games, so I’ve taken to emulating my old games and playing them on my laptop. It’s honestly a pretty good time, would recommend.
I’m getting to play games I loved that I haven’t touched in over a decade (MotorStorm, all the Ratchet and Clank games, the good Need for Speeds, etc). Plus if there were any games I wanted as a kid but didn’t have the money, I can buy most of them off eBay for cheap.

I recently jailbroke my Wii and ripped all my current games, so this is surprisingly relatable to me right now.
I also got a low firmware PS4 to jailbreak so I can rip those in preparation for ShadPS4, an up and coming PS4 emulator. Bloodborne is running on it now, though it’s still far from playable.

My brother and I never stopped calling it that. And he owns one himself. Luckily not one that needs a recall.

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 :(

I need to get me a jailbreakable PS4 so I can start ripping my collection.

I loved the first two back in high school and college. I’m glad they’re both playable on RPCS3 so I can still get my fix from them.
Really wish we could get some kind of spiritual successor to them; if anyone knows of a modern replacement, I’m all ears.

Been replaying the R&C games lately. I’m gonna see how much better Deadlocked performs with this big update.

Edit: Deadlocked still has some big slowdowns, but outside of that, it’s perfectly playable; I finished a playthrough earlier today. I know the other 3 main games work well, too. I just need to try Secret Agent Clank and Size Matters.

Sorry, I was referring to the Steam version. I don’t think the Switch version would have it.

The Steam reviews aren’t painting a good picture. That version has poor optimization as well as Denuvo.
Looks like I’ll just play the PS3 remake on RPCS3. That might be the definitive way to play it at the moment.

I pushed carts at a big box store for a year in my 20’s. Fucking sucked. In an 8 hour shift you could easily walk 20,000+ steps and walk over 10 miles (GPS verified). And you do it no matter the weather. Pouring rain? Out there. Sweltering heat? Out there. -5F and 6" of snow? Out there.
This work can be brutal, even for a young healthy person, let alone a 90 year old vet.
The worst part? I was paid the exact same wage as the cashiers who stayed inside the entire time. About $10/hr on average in 2017.

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.

This post is from 2018. I wonder if we learned anything more about this furry friend.

Maybe that’s why younger people are getting certain cancers more often than in decades past.

We’ve had logging tariffs on them for a bit, especially at the start of the pandemic when lumber prices were insane and getting rid of them would’ve helped lower prices a bit.

It would be cool to see a sequel to Control. I want to learn more about this universe. And to work more with Ahti.

I feel this would fit better under either Bone Hurting Juice or Speed of Lobsters. Idk if we have any communities like that here yet.

Ooh, I may have to try that. I think it’s actually recommended to have some kind of cover because you don’t want to stick a 15-25 lb blanket into your washer every time. The rinse cycle gets a little scary. So a cover would definitely help with that.
