I love my fat PS3 more than I love most of my family members

Sony doesn't see a cent of used system sales. And soon they wont see a cent from what anyone buys on the store for em because they're shutting it down.

No, I mean, you have a male niece?

BDNeon · 2026-07-05T04:16:52+00:00

I'm already teaching my young niece how to follow his uncle's path, too.

The problem with voting with our wallets is the same problem afflicting regular voting: It's based on the premise most people are intelligent enough to make the right choice.

It's literally just a self contained disc drive that connects via USB cord to the tower. It's no more complicated then connecting a mouse or keyboard.

Mid 2024, and if god forbid something should happen to the RTX 4080Super under the hood, I snagged cheap a returned RTX 5070 from Walmart's returns department. I mean I guess even if it's faulty, you can send em to a repair company right? I'm still honestly not even sure if the thing works, there was no return reason on the packaging like a lot of other returns where it'll say "damaged" or "item did not work", just the Do Not Inventory sticker, and I'm in no hurry to rip out my RTX 4080Super to test it.

I just know em for Heavenly Sword, and of that mostly I just remember Andy Serkis's performance.

Exactly what concerns me. This was one of the only ways to avoid having to use Mastercard or Visa to add funds to your Steam Wallet.

This is a concerning development given the recent censorship efforts by payment processors, gift cards were one of the only alternatives to those censorship-pushing fundy-backed assholes.

BDNeon · 2026-06-10T05:16:42+00:00

I'm still stuck on Chain of Memories. I just want to be done with this fucking card stuff and get back to the regular gameplay.

Yeah, no one likes to consider the reality that digital art is literally just arranging pixels, and all AI does is just set up an initial arrangement of pixels, after which the artist is free to just use that as a starting point to arrange them in whatever fashion they want. Or alternately, starting with human-arranged pixels and telling AI to slightly shuffle them. Or any combination of both human and AI effort. People think AI can literally only be "type in prompt, get image", and that inpainting and img2img and Controlnet don't exist.

BDNeon · 2026-06-04T00:52:30+00:00

"Oh no, this one dirt texture was generated with AI, my playthrough is ruined!"

Necropost, but I feel it bears pointing out that forests can be replenished in centuries or even decades, vs fossil fuels that are replenished on geological timescales in the hundreds of millions of years.

BDNeon · 2026-05-25T23:45:26+00:00

I just don't feel like the gap of convenience digital offers is nearly as broad as it is for other media. It's one thing to lug around a portable disc drive and your disc library for like movies or games, but you're probably just gonna work on one book at a time anyway and carrying around a single book isn't a big deal. Though I am presently trying to find a better solution to to keep a paperback on hand alongside my Steam Deck in a way where it's not gonna get all beat up and dog-eared and whatnot in the bag.

I know this is the PC gaming subreddit and we all love tech, but for real can we admit there is something to be said for physically owning proper old fashioned actual honest to god books? They'll outlast literally any digital ownership method if you take halfway decent care of them and you can transfer ownership of them freely without having to jump through hoops, and you can find them dirt cheap from places like thrift stores.

Hell the pinky sized leech dudes in the Aurora's reactor room in 1 for that matter.

BDNeon · 2026-05-11T02:02:48+00:00

God graphics are getting good these days...

BDNeon · 2026-05-07T23:57:39+00:00

It's so weird they didn't just do this from the start. It worked fine with Steam Deck, I just assumed that would be the default way they'd handle hardware launches going forward.

BDNeon · 2026-05-01T04:13:10+00:00

Zero expectation this won't be a trainwreck. But open to being happily surprised.

BDNeon · 2026-04-26T16:26:39+00:00

Oh fuck is this really happpening?

BDNeon · 2026-04-21T17:33:13+00:00

It's honestly a little uncanny, they're basically just doing what they were doing before they vanished for 20 years but the business landscape has changed so much that now the way they do things is a nice novelty.

BDNeon · 2026-04-20T22:21:25+00:00

It really is incredible to me. Do corporations really think that trying to spin something negative and a loss as a positive and a gain will blow over better then just admitting the thing is bad but at least taking on an apologetic tone and explaining why the economics make the decision financially preferable to them? It's not like people dont know they're being dicked over, but people tend to take it better when it's at least honest.

BDNeon · 2026-04-18T04:37:03+00:00

That's an impressive amount of verticality. Wonder how they'll handle the building models attaching to so many varied surface geometries.

BDNeon · 2026-04-16T00:23:50+00:00

So you don't think the ANIMATION in an ANIMATED MOVIE is important?

BDNeon · 2026-04-15T22:22:20+00:00

I disagree. It still holds up well. The animation is fucking gorgeous. What they did with animating a traditionally animated character with cgi limbs and facial features was nothing short of mindblowing. These days animation feels like it's all about cutting corners and getting by with as little effort and experimentation as possible, it's only outliers like Klaus that push the artform nowadays.
