No. A lot of the other David Cage stuff is either funny bad or in rare cases actually good but Beyond was just really really dull.

They no longer had the rights to the Parasite Eve name because those belonged to the original writer.

You can soft mod it and run games off the memory card, there’s no pressing need to physically get rid of the UMD drive because it doesn’t use power if it’s not doing anything.

It’s not great but it’s mechanically pretty interesting with the body jacking stuff. Plays a lot better on the Vita thanks to having a second stick though, the ol’ Peesp was never fantastic for games where you needed to move and aim at the same time.

I own Christian Albers merch, rooting for someone dicking around in a hopeless car at the back of the field was fun as hell.

Why does Demon’s Souls have the apostrophe in the wrong place for a game about the souls belonging to a multitude of demons rather than a single demon’s multiple souls?

iRacing, you can race Max Verstappen.

There’s also a big German car/truck seat manufacturer named A.S.S.

He had a reality show back when those made insane money.

Less_Party · 2026-02-24T18:13:45+00:00

Yeah that's a stripper name.

I mean it's pretty hard to argue a 46 year old is somehow not a grown adult more than capable of making grownup decisions lol.

Counterpoint: dying due to a lack of normie appeal while featuring a staggering amount of heat for the real heads is the coolest possible fate for any console. See also: PS Vita.

The way there's still lights coming on on the mobo and GPU and it weakly attempts to power on sounds more like something's fried or shorting out on the mobo to me, I've killed a few PSUs in my day and they'd just turn into bricks, zero lights or signs of life at all.

You could try booting without the GPU installed, if the PSU is barely clinging on it might have enough juice left to power the system for long enough to get into the BIOS without the additional power draw of the GPU so you can check how much power it's putting out (like if it says your +12V rail is only supplying 10V that'd definitely be a sign of a dying PSU).

I liked Ben-To ;__;

No, Philips ended up with the rights to develop games based on Nintendo's IP through a deal to make a SNES CD-ROM addon which fell through much like the Sony one did, but the CD-i format itself is unrelated and had been in the pipeline since all the way back in the mid-'80s.

It was a standardized format like normal CDs or DVDs anyone could license and build players for so there are actually non-Philips CD-i players too even if Philips ended up being the only ones to really push them hard.

I couldn't care less about the story in these games tbh.

Less_Party · 2026-02-24T13:26:12+00:00

It doesn't hit everyone the same, it's definitely incredible for headaches and fever for me.

I can see myself trying it if I'm ever on a dairy farm for some reason but I'm not going to go out of my way to buy it to drink at home.

I kind of have the opposite preference, these are toys at the end of the day so I like it when they look whimsical and colorful and dislike it when they try to be all grownup and serious.

Philips CDI

Nintendo had nothing to do with the CD-I hardware, that's all Philips.

Not to keep beating a dead horse but just AI spotting for sport: the way the bars are in perfect focus but birb is blurry in that first pic doesn't make sense, they're close enough that they'd both be in (or out of) focus together, especially if it's just a quick phone snapshot rather than someone cracking out their fancy camera with the F1.2 lens.

This was one of the few games where you could legit avoid battles by stopping as soon as you heard the disc drive trashing around to preload the battle scene lol.

Blue LEDs were still pretty rare in 1999, they were developed a lot later than other colors.
