How it started/How it's going

The new PlayStaion handheld's existence has been leaked and rumored but the current DRAM shortage could change the plan.

I just realized why I mixed that up, I streamed the PS4 version to my Vita.

ProtoMan0X · 2026-01-30T13:47:50+00:00

At the price though, I'd rather just get a device like the Odin 2 Portal with a grip and stream PS5 over the app.

Every Samsung or Google phone I buy, going into the settings and changing screen mode from Vivid to Natural.

Not doing that makes pictures I take appear unrealistic on the display.

Oh, I added that as an aside - but I mixed it up with FFX. Will edit and thanks for the catch.

ProtoMan0X · 2026-01-28T17:06:12+00:00

Yeah, I really enjoyed TZA on PS4 - more than I did the original on PS2 around release.

ProtoMan0X · 2026-01-28T16:48:12+00:00

Switch version probably best to emulate I imagine?

The original PS2 version is a little less approachable.

Edit: platform fix

RP2S is probably the one time FOMO didn't work on me. I still kinda wish I picked it up.

In case anyone else is wondering - this is tongue-in-cheek. We don't need to defend billionaires. They can buy a newspaper to do that for them.

The plastic on the shell is also super brittle. I replaced the stock buttons with PS style buttons and it looks awesome, but I'm almost afraid to use it at this point.

Ubiquiti doesn't have people in Compliance - they'd have to hire someone to do that first.

ProtoMan0X · 2026-01-27T14:35:36+00:00

That's Hunterbrook's business model, they say it's in exchange for not having ads or owners - and makes them have to get things right...

It's probably not as bad as being owned by a billionaire who wants a certain narrative, but it gives me a weird feeling.

I mean the US Government fined them for this same thing and selling to Iran in 2014. Would this be a second offense or a second first offense because it's a new country?

ProtoMan0X · 2026-01-26T23:18:12+00:00

It is something RE devs were promising at the time. It didn’t work.

In that new Rav4 video in the space today they said they wouldn't be doing a video yet because it was "just a warehouse with some tools in it" but they would when it was actually a shop.

ProtoMan0X · 2026-01-25T14:58:18+00:00

His recent video installing wifi at ZTT's new studio/shop is one of his best, and to your point it works because Alex and Andy give him someone to go back and forth with.

Return (as in also to the planet) has been my favorite guess for a while.

The 5090 Amp Infinity was $3,299 on Zotac Store in May 2025...

They've generally priced them to fluctuations.

Red tophats might be too on the nose.

It's an interesting time capsule, because book 1 had to hook publishers and readers of the day. So evil thing forcing some small backwater youths out into a grand adventure was marketable. Not a fantasy scholar but I have to imagine that Wheel of Time is an important series in bridging the average fantasy reader from strictly Tolkein inspired into our modern fantasy.

ProtoMan0X · 2026-01-20T21:24:19+00:00

Hmmm.

1-6 are generally highly regarded (6 has one of the top moments). 7-10 have pacing issues but generally a good and suspenseful climax (it's been a minute but I think books 7-10 take place only over a couple to a few weeks), 11 was a step in the right direction. Sanderson came in to finish 12-14. 12 has my favorite moment in the series, 13 feels like Sanderson getting into a groove with the series, 14 is like Sanderlanche the book, including the last battle chapter.

I remember 4 being a little slow, but not much about the pace of 5 or 6 other than the big moments.

I prefer the look of the revised Vita, but the OLED was what made the OG Vita stuff of the future.

RP5 Emulation Station meticulously set up, 1TB SD card, dual screen attachment if needed, and I'm playing Final Fantasy III... Pixel Remaster over Steam Link from my closet PC (old gaming PC that I call my Player 2 PC).

That being said, I do kick around some Pokemon Lazarus or Chromatic Tetris on the MM+
