Color me shocked.

Same here. Pretty disappointed with how the momentum created with Prometheus got lost in Covenant and then how the saga completely derailed with this last excuse of an entry. Romulus is an offense to the watcher's intelligence and a spit in the face of long-time Alien fans. There's no script there and it adds absolutely nothing to the series.

Classics like The Incredible Machine and Ultima 8 come to mind.

I this really what became of Europe now? Being passively relying on the next big economy (bye bye US, hello China) to pop in and lead the way? It's just so frustratingly mediocre.

Great game indeed. It was really fun finding every secret thing.

Currently re-watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid season 2 (I probably watch the whole series once per year since it was launched); Recently finished re-watching the holy Gundam trilogy (Mobile Suit Gundam, Z and ZZ); Getting ready to re-watch SDF Macross and Macross: DYRL; Waiting impatiently for the next season of Spy x Family; Happy to have discovered Natsume's Book of Friends.

Needless to say, all of the above are must watch.

The original "Mobile Suit Gundam" trilogy (79 up to ZZ), "SDF Macross" and "Macross: DYRL" come to mind. It only makes sense, since a good space opera requires epic soundtrack. And those are the really big ones. Evangelion also has a very nice opening theme.

As far as series go: If you need a good time, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is a must watch; If you wanna get more serious, an epic space opera is also an important milestone, try Mobile Suit Gundam or Super Dimension Fortress Macross; Once you get used to anime in general, you can also try Natsume's Book of Friends.

As far as movies go: Just watch every Ghibli title in their release order. Start with Nausicaä, which is pre-Ghibli but still the spiritual first entry in the set.

I mean, really... absolutely nobody. /s

Be glad you already had mice then. I'm past 42, by the way. Probably older, if needed be. But 42 I can guarantee.

My DIY days happened a very long time ago, when parts meant capacitors, diodes, resistors and transistors. And the VCS was next gen.

But I can still remember them announcing the PSX in video-game magazines. Feels like yesterday.

My thoughts exactly. I believe most services that enable sharing this kind of media should default to having content expiring after a sensible TTL. I'm pretty positive that alone would save us from 80% of such useless data.

Absolutely, don't even get me started on that. Or when you're reading a light-themed web app and all of a sudden there's a dark-themed screenshot of some random text in the middle. So annoying!

Obviously. Think of all crap being shared on social media these days. People don't even share texts anymore, they take a much more expensive, less readable screenshot and send over.

No and nope. Guess you weren't around when it came out.

Looks like a comeback at fake job posts: https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelwells/2024/08/13/36-of-job-adverts-are-fake-how-to-spot-them-in-2024/

"An eye for an eye"...

That's precisely the PSX.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. They can swallow cat poop, marbles, nails... but not game cartridges! /s

Well, it came from... Sony, their creators!

PSX was the codename for the original model. It was spread even before it was launched. PS One was the PlayStation "Slim".

I'm in the complete opposite side of this spectrum. I just feel apathy towards people who call the PSX "PS1", even though I am not sure if they're talking about the real PS One or just being ignorant.

Who the f*ck puts electronics in their mouth?!

PS: yes, it was a rhetorical question.
