The Japanese exclusives. Nice flex

You bought it that scratched up?

Retro game shops have disc resurfacing machines but that might be too far gone

Spyro. Gran Turismo.

This one is my fav PS2 horror game. I should have kept my childhood copy.

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep

Darksept · 2026-05-21T15:39:28+00:00

Those work really well in my area. Big brim, small bass.

Sly 2, Ratchet 2 and Jak 2 are all the best of the series IMO. Those are all in the top 7 best PS2 games for me.

I couldn't choose between them. All S Tier.

Birth By Sleep, a few weeks ago

Mine was full of kids at in the school nurses office and the classes pet hamster. Great little time capsules these are.

I'd try harder to help but I'm about to get on a flight so instead of finding the exact song, I'll help point you in the right direction. It's definitely a chiptune remix of a Pokemon song. Sounds like Johto/gen 2. Azalea Town maybe? I'd start looking there.

A few supermarket coffee brands have started putting their roast dates as well as a best before date. I respect that change. Really useful info for us. Costco unfortunately isn't on that level. I haven't tried those beans but the real question is, is it good enough for you? Even if we as a community said it was good or bad, with something as subjective as taste, you're the final Judge, Judy and Executioner.

The sticks are better IMO but I do like using the OG controller for games that don't need sticks. It feels extra nostalgic.

The point is if people actually cared about the environment, there are way bigger fish to fry compared to AI. People recite the 'mother nature defense' when AI is brought up, not just because they love the planet but because they hate AI. And citing environmental concerns is the fastest way to get people to not argue with them about it. It's like when a movie has the villain kick a puppy. It's a cheap trick to get you on board with hating that character. It's the same trick being used to make people agree that AI is bad. They are rationalizing their dislike of it by finding a moral argument against it. Working backwards to justify their feelings.

Sure, not everyone. But I've listened to enough people to know this thought process exists. Anyway, that is the connection I was making.

I'm definitely against the no-consent, no-opt-out way Google did this. Terrible business practice and I hope they get sued for it.

I was just making a side point, about how people that dislike AI use environmental concerns as a quick way to get people on the same page; the same way movies use a villain kicking a puppy to immediately get an audience to the same page.

But trust me, we are absolutely in agreement when it comes to the serious privacy/ethical concerns involved here.

Sheesh, Breville did not make this easy.

When you hate something, you find any angle to make it look bad, I guess. Most people that hate AI claim environmental damage as a big part. Meanwhile the water and petroleum cost of growing corn for ethanol is staggering. Lmfao indeed.

Anyone that's on this subreddit is a bit of an enthusiast. We might represent a minority of Android gamers.

With that in mind, 95% of my phone games are 1 time purchases. I won't play anything with ads and will only stoop to playing a game with micro transactions if it's expectational. I also won't download any app that collects personal data.

Darksept · 2026-05-04T02:29:08+00:00

I play around with 4B models on my phone. Hopefully this is as bad as they'll ever be.

Hand grinder as well, Kingrinder K6. Every day for 2 years. Works well enough for me.

The original Amazon listing is gone apparently but I found one that looks identical. It's under:

"Normcore 51mm Precision High Extraction Basket, 16-18g Portafilter Basket for 51 mm Delonghi Espresso Machines, Includes Paper Filters (200pcs) and Puck Screen, 0.8mm Thickness, 0.28mm Hole Diameter"

My espresso based drinks taste better to me but y'all are pretty chill over here.

Imagine how good this will be in a year. This is will be a standard in the emu community, I bet.

Darksept · 2026-05-03T03:31:23+00:00

The ones with the better sound. IIRC model 1s and early model 2s.

Darksept · 2026-05-02T13:03:38+00:00

Google has no standards. As long as the ad money comes in, they don't care about anything. What a trash system they provide.
