We needED the justice system to sentence him. It didn’t.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

The Patriots were right. The world really is controlled by memes.

Yeah, I admit, that was me. I think the rapid political cycle in news made me think the election was closer than it was.

Ooh, ooh, forgot the next step:

“I vote for this man”

Hasn’t one of his staff even said that Trump watches an insane amount of TV? That could genuinely be the reason he goes into these ramblings.

Let’s continue the run on sentence

…on the moon…

Yup, the Xbox does that; but it’s at least good to acknowledge that was not an insignificant effort on their part. They had a lot of people slowly putting out compatibility packages for old Xbox games based on popularity.

I’m guessing Sony doesn’t feel like doing that when they can also provide that hardware via more expensive cloud systems.

I’ve definitely had some of those issues. I won’t count an old issue where my GPU needed a special connection to attach audio to its DVI output (rare oddity). Some others:

• Most computers would need to swap default audio device between whatever you use at a desk, and the TV registered as an HDMI audio device.
• Bluetooth connections to arbitrary controllers have gotten better, but they had often needed manual enablement each time through mouse-based menus or a number of firmware updates to work with Windows/SteamOS.
• My Steam Deck, even in its current iteration, takes some time to recognize the connected TV and swap resolution.
• The mouse cursor issue can come up if you had to do any mouse-based option swapping, like that thing with audio devices.

I’ve definitely gotten it working and had a blast, but the number of button presses to get to starting the game can sometimes be hard to predict. Even when I had a computer dedicated to the TV (a long time ago when SteamOS was fledgling) it was pretty unreliable about having all the right updates and not needing a mouse.

On the idea of random drives: Many of them might not be able to read the encryption on Playstation discs. I could be wrong, but I think the way they operate involves more than just software encryption. Sony is best off making their own. Hence why pirates burn special copies.

On reading prior generations: I think they’d be capable of reading those if they wanted, but running old Playstation games is more a matter of correct CPU architecture. Most of us have played old games on the new consoles, but often there’s a bit of manual porting/emulation logic going on to get it working - so the package delivered from PSN isn’t exactly would come from an old PS2 disc.

Props for accepting a counterargument on the internet graciously. Not something we see often.

It’d be fun if the EU started policing any use of the phrase “We are required to show this dialog”.

They’re not. They choose to show that dialog so that they can try to apply commercial tracking cookies. Anything for website function is already covered by EU laws.
