Makes me. *So* glad my wonderful partner got me a regular PS5 for Christmas... My PS4 bluray drive stopped working a while ago.

Pro was already too expensive.

The ones that see the price of RAM and storage skyrocketing thanks to AI companies buying up everything.

I’m just remembering how we were getting PS2 and Wii games for like a decade after the next gen came along.

I'm at the point where my recommendations for video games are like, "get something that can run things from like 2022 prior well because if it can do that you can also probably play a whole bunch of older games" 😭

Nintendo: Switch 2 not looking so expensive now, eh?
Me: well yes $900 is more than $500 but $500 is still a fair bit.

For anyone reading this, Umineko When They Cry is a great starter into the visual novel genre. Very light hearted and approachable ❤️

Dumb but genuine question: When I was a kid I LOVED to read, you couldn't keep a novel out of my hands. But ever since college, I've found it difficult to read books because my mind wanders too much, is there anything I can do to like, fix that?

It's also a really good time keep hold of basically all your consumer electronics and see if any of your already owned games have something cool done for them.

2026 for me might just be the year of TIE Fighter Total Conversion and custom Age of Empires campaigns

Kinda wild to see a hobby i grew up with cannibalize itself in real time
I think if in 5-10 years all "video games" are is just random small dev teams posting weird software on itch that'd be fine by me
