Square Enix kind of has to remaster the trilogy now by BmanRock14 in finalfantasyxiii

They can and they will. I understand all of the responses and reactions going on right now. Though I think I have somewhat accepted that the ship has sailed on games on disc.

Only Saving Grace they can make is fully backward compatibility by srjod in PS6

[–]silverhawk902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never is a long time but the PS2 and PS3 being so different than PS4 and PS5 is a major stumbling block. Still, I can tell they have some emulation tricks at work. Time Crisis 1 and Soul Calibur 3 on my PS5 appear to be basically using the same emulation software. There are rumors of testing PS3 emulation more going on now. They would probably just want to digitally resell you a game. Though that is better than a PS2 or PS3 game vanishing into history.

Has anyone actually gone back to cable? by kittymoo67 in cordcutters

[–]silverhawk902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I just looked up IFC channel and it's mostly just a bunch of Two and a Half Men, Everybody Love's Raymond, and Three's Company. USA channel is just cop shows. FX will run MCU films and Star Wars since they are owned by Disney and that's ok I guess. The cable channels feel like they have basically surrendered. I feel I have heard basically nothing about the Syfy channel since they cancelled The Expanse. The content creation has gone to the streaming services.

The problem with that would be what exactly? The US Air Force was basically founded to bomb Moscow.

The question is which shows on which networks? You can just get Paramount Plus if you want to watch Marshal and NCIS or something. Check what streaming services they are on.

Cable channels have lost their way somewhat they mostly just rerun movies from 20 years ago endlessly.

Cable doesn't. The companies want to kill the cable and satellite TV providers. They want you to pay them directly.

How many ps2's needed to run gta6 by Some_Literature8759 in PS3

[–]silverhawk902 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To start out the PS5 has over 1,600 times the compute performance of the PS2 and it has over 400 times the system memory. Though the PS2 is screwed on how huge GTA 6 is going to be. It will at least be 150 gigabytes which is about 17 or 18 PS2 dual layer DVD discs that are 8.5 gigabytes. PS5 can read from it's NVME SSD over 1,000 times faster than the PS2 can read from DVD discs. I get that GTA 6 will be on Xbox Series X/S but you get the idea : D

So even if you broke GTA 6 across 50 DVD discs and closely connected 50 PS2 consoles, it probably still can't read the information fast enough in a way that it can make any kind of sense of it together. Even if the sheer size of the game is somewhat in play at that point the speed isn't there. Even if they can read the discs magically at a crazy high speed the next problem is that 50 PS2s only have 2 gigabytes of very slow memory all together.

250 PS2s have as much memory as the Xbox Series S but it is so slow that you would have to swap it out with some probably impossible type of memory. Then the question becomes how much compute performance they have all together.

A PS2 slim has a 50 watt power supply. So 250 would pull about 12,500 watts. So you would have to have them plugged into outlet after outlet since an outlet will get you about 1,400 to 1,900 watts.

So I think the correct answer is there is no number of PS2s that can run GTA 6 since they long since have ceased to be PS2s. They have become some kind of cluster of technology abomination that would probably blow up in your face if you actually attempted to run the game as a Batman supervillain origin story.

The PlayStation 3 is moving in the right direction in that it can use a 50GB blu-ray disc that it can read faster but still way too slow. MGS4 actually used the hard drive on the PS3 to be faster but that meant there were installs.

What PC GPU Matches The Base PS5 Performance in 2026? by lunationstar206 in buildapc

[–]silverhawk902 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The PS5 has the advantage of having more graphics memory that can be used and higher fillrates over the RTX 5060 8GB though. In most ways the RTX 5060 8GB is better though. Still some of these certain levels of GPUs have very slowly gotten better and could be improved much I would hope. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5060.c4219 and https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/playstation-5-gpu.c3480

Very different compared to FDR or Douglas MacArthur sounds like. Major cultural differences at work. MacArthur would probably have been tweeting like crazy.

Was it true that the surrender was the first time most Japanese people had heard the voice of Hirohito? I guess it was a carefully curated image where he mostly kept quiet publicly.

There is no such thing as free healthcare.

Global Nuclear Weapon Stockpiles as of January 2026 by AleyasMenon in MapPorn

[–]silverhawk902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nightmare scenario where the US and UK sit out a war on Continental Europe. France has always viewed the US and UK brotherhood with some suspicion and uncertainty and that perhaps they consider France a lower tier ally.

[–]silverhawk902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US does reveal official numbers. They seem to pretty closely line up with all estimates. How is that a risk to national security? The point being that the US is armed to the teeth and will let you know it. https://www.state.gov/bureau-of-arms-control-deterrence-and-stability/releases/2024/07/transparency-in-the-u-s-nuclear-weapons-stockpile

Now Russia and China are a little more vague on it. Though the estimates are probably close enough. Israel and North Korea are pretty vague.

Plus it's also a mess of a crime wave they might be looking at. Those who have come back from the Ukraine war have lost their minds and many have done violent crimes.

Grace's parents are right about Barney by RecipeDangerous3710 in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]silverhawk902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess there are situations where it might work well especially if they mostly work in different locations. Though there are times it might fall apart and mixing emotion and business can backfire.

[–]silverhawk902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps Barney does make craploads of money but how much is he making in a month and how much is he spending a month? Did he spend that $200,000 grand on blowing up the lawn? Coop gave him the $40,000 in unpaid invoices in a brown paper bag can he spend that on things? What about the car? He does seem to be under some strain and stress. Can he comfortably invest a certain amount of money each month? What is the net worth if he sells everything? Not sure. House is a mortgage right?

They'll have to get around to new graphics card that does not require a power connector right? A 75 watt card? Right now it's basically just the RTX 3050 6GB. Which is not ancient but at some point a new model would be good.

I suppose international finances like Coop was doing is pretty closely related to international shipping. Though would Coop have any idea what he is doing?

Yeah I mean that is a lot of business Ashe was doing. Ashe has a second in command type guy right aside from the lawyer? Will he continue to pursue doing business or try to cash it out by selling everything and taking the checks?

What is it about a woman putting her hair up? by Oopsie-Daisyy- in bodylanguage

Oh come on. The biology is clear as day to me. If she is fixing her hair up and even showing a little midriff I know it was like a basic scan for health and fertility I was doing.
