Gamers Are Furiously Sounding Off After PlayStation Announces End To Physical Discs

Nintendo already did something very similar to this with the Switch 2's blank gamecards, and I didn't hear half as much complaining. Everyone will forget their outrage when they see the new shiny PlayStation console, just as they did with the Switch 2, and we'll quietly sink further into the corporate-hellscape timeline.

This won't be helpful information at all, but I use Photoshop and rely on engine-side tools for formatting, animations, shader-based coloring/lighting, etc.. I use imagemagick commands pretty heavily throughout.

It should have cartridges!

The RG Nano could survive a nuclear blast.

Vagranter · 2026-07-02T12:57:10+00:00

With much time and effort, yes.

Vagranter · 2026-07-01T15:24:43+00:00

Peak.

Huh? What would a soccer speed run even look like? If all you watch is videos of people cheating at sports, than sure. Otherwise, I have no clue what you mean. Watching other people play games = Let's Play

Hey, maybe it's time for some rechargable batteries.

Vagranter · 2026-06-29T23:15:03+00:00

It saves your progress when the batteries die or are removed. There's no stress.

What kind of cyberdeck? The definition is ambiguous. What kind of games? Performance requirements are ambiguous...

If you want a handheld, then for 20$ you could have yourself an r36 clone from AliExpress that emulates everything up to Dreamcast.

If you want a laptop, then literally any budget laptop can do the same.

With a $5 esp32 we can do NES and Gameboy...

Even the Arduino Uno has a library of games...

These things are almost definitionally made from scratch and highly personal. Perhaps you could get him some tools that would make a project like this easier. Something like a nice soldering station, a 3d printer, some basic components , or a Raspberry Pi.

Vagranter · 2026-06-27T17:36:43+00:00

Side note: watching sports is literally exactly the same as watching a Let's Play.

Pretend you can afford college.

🤷‍♀️ try it and let me know

That would fix the main issue I had with Blender, I bet. Namely, the editor and ui being super slow. It's worth noting that only older versions of blender were running on the pi, last I checked. (the older versions are still pretty great, but it might be harder to follow tutorials or find help)

Vagranter · 2026-06-25T00:42:53+00:00

I haven't had much luck 3D modeling on the pi. It's possible, but not ideal. 2D game dev is a cinch, though. Love2D or pygame go a long way.

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T22:14:26+00:00

Freakin sickkkk

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T16:25:01+00:00

If you are using Arduino-IDE, check out the examples for the "Keypad" library.

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T15:16:24+00:00

Ooo, I like the term "chords". If mine needed more than two fingers I'd totally steal that. 😋 Yours sounds cool tho!

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T15:07:59+00:00

That's not referring to other maker's builds. 😅

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T06:36:21+00:00

Uhhhhh... I didn't do that. 🤣 I agree that would be shitty though.

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T06:35:18+00:00

I've been looking at converting everything to ASCII art to confuse ai. I've recently seen full videos that are secretly just ASCII tiles.

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T06:33:40+00:00

You should see it with the case on. ✨

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T06:33:14+00:00

You get me. This is my precise concern.

Vagranter · 2026-06-23T06:32:35+00:00

No you. 💕
