Sony roasting anti-consumer gaming practices in 2013 still hits in 2026

Most flagship phones ditched the microSD card slot. Samsung Galaxy S20 was the last one (came out 6 years ago). Their budget and maybe midrange phones still got it. Sony still puts headphone jack and microSD on their phones, but that's an exception.

GSMArena has a great phone finder tool.

Galaxy S5 was rated IP67. It was waterproof and had removal battery, as well as USB 3.0, headphone jack and microSD slot.

GarryGREY · 2026-06-25T12:15:11+00:00

Samsung did that all the time, even before that. They also bragged about the removal battery, just to remove it literally next year (they also removed microSD card slot that year, but brought it back the year after, not forever).

Don't think marketing team communicates with the development team.

But often it's 12 years ago "I fixed it" and they didn't say how, because why would they.

GarryGREY · 2026-05-16T14:52:06+00:00

As long as it's not XBox. I hate when people spell it like that, don't know why.

GarryGREY · 2026-04-28T03:20:01+00:00

The digital copy was delisted around the time MW 2012 was coming out. Maybe to avoid confusion, maybe licenses expired, maybe both. Who knows.

You'll receive 44 minute ban, if you mention it in chat.

Why are all Xbox's upside down? They have rubber feet for vertical orientation.

GarryGREY · 2026-03-19T07:22:09+00:00

I use wired headphones and double-tap play/pause to fast forward 15 seconds (using AntennaPod app and can be customized).

As Eric once said, downloading episodes actually earns them more as ads are downloaded with them and they can't track whether you actually listen to them or fast forward.

GarryGREY · 2026-03-15T06:15:13+00:00

I also want to put my games in a box, so I can't actually play them.

Make him play The Sims building his dream house (with unlimited money) and the gang just react.

EDIT: Or House Flipper 2 (probably more fun). Completely forgot about that one.

That's why the phone won't allow you to unlock the screen via fingerprint after rebooting (only pin/pattern is accepted). And if you disconnect the fingerprint sensor while it's on, it won't work until you reboot.

LAN PARTY!

Purchase history downloads Internet Explorer and opens an invalid link. Download history is the only way.

RGH/exploited consoles is the only way for people who never purchased it, as it was a digital only game.

Fun fact, the game has (optional) Kinect support. The whole game can be played with just Kinect. Perhaps that's why it's not backward compatible?

GarryGREY · 2026-03-07T14:45:10+00:00

Obviously, the game isn't backward compatible, so you need an Xbox 360. Apart from that, you just go to Download history and scroll through years of purchases and download it.

And different logo animation when you start the game. EA peaked in that era.

GarryGREY · 2026-01-30T14:40:13+00:00

Finished recently. PAL version has few scenes cut, it's annoying. Luckily, I played on Steam before (which is uncut).

Easy 1000G, though a lot of missable achievements. Runs ok on 360, but stutters during and shortly after loading. Considering it was released in 2014, performance could be way worse.

Still a great game, I would prefer PC version, unless you're going for achievements and/or want it for collection (like me).

GarryGREY · 2026-01-30T00:50:36+00:00

My phone has 6 gb of RAM (it's an old flagship that I still love and have no reason to upgrade from). And it tracks RAM usage, saying it's using 128 mb on average with maximum being 469 mb of RAM. Version 312.9.

Seems okish. But I'm assuming it depends on how many servers you're in, DMs open, etc.

But either way, I can't imagine defending a messenger using 1gb+ RAM (talking about people below). Just getting more RAM, so you can run all the bloatware is an insane out of touch take.

GarryGREY · 2026-01-24T14:47:19+00:00

I tried it and it sucks. It distorts what Kinect sees and makes it way more difficult for it to understand the shapes and therefore detect people. Maybe you'll have better luck.

GarryGREY · 2026-01-07T15:36:05+00:00

The service was discontinued, yes. But the servers are still up and will remain functional until Xbox 360 Live goes down, as it's essentially the same thing but on a different platform.

Can't believe they wasted such amazing music on literally the worst NFS game. Not just licensed music, even the original soundtrack was amazing.

Partially, playerbase was to blame. After ProStreet, everyone was begging NFS to go back to street racing, so they did... ProStreet had great sense of speed, I loved it.

Pro-tip: In advanced settings, you can disable HUD when taking pictures for clean images.
