"Looking forward to the article!" "Happy to be included in the article!"
Not sure whether even those responses were done with the ai or just the sloppers' incapacity of thought showing through, being happy to be labeled as "part of the problem"
Man, I gotta check how the battery for my PSP3000 is, and the microSD card on it. The internals work perfectly, those two things are the only ones that seem likely to give out anytime soon. My little buddy is 14yo now. I don't think I ever played any of the 3 UMD games that came with it, I immediately jailbroke it after purchase
It’s not “retro” in the same way a much older console is. It’s closer, more relatable, and maybe more importantly, more usable. It still fits into modern life without needing to be explained.
I think this is something extremely important. Looking at stuff from 20 years ago was much different when the current year was 2006 - we'd be looking at the mid 80s. Computers of the 80s and even the early 90s became obsolete fast, whatever you had in 2006, even if it was 4 years old at the time, felt light years ahead of anything from 1986 and would be internet capable.
Games from the 80s were also comparably "archaic", as the hardware limitations were much more significant and several then current games could never happen in that old hardware (NES, C64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga 500), and that's ignoring graphical complexity. Meanwhile, a number of current day games could exist in 2006, so long as the graphics were appropriately scaled down (Total War games being a perfect example).
One of my favorite, unexpected gems was Kenka Bancho. You're a bancho (high school delinquent badass) and you have 7 days during a school trip before graduation to punch other school banchos into submission to prove you're the best of all banchos. A real shame that only one game got localized, there are several others in the series.
I was also sad that Maverick Hunter X didn't get sequels, so it became the sole 3D remake of Mega Man X, but it's really good and you can even play as Vile. Speaking of Capcom, you could also play Monster Hunter 1, 2 or 3 on your PSP. I spent a significant amount of time on 2 and got nowhere near the mid game. I kept getting my ass handed by some bosses. Kushala Daora became my arch nemesis. On the other hand, beating Basarios was a piece of cake with bow and (piercing) arrow
I've always wondered what relation Emilio Garrastazu Medici had with the rest of the Medici family. He's remembered as the asshole dictator president responsible for the worst years in regards to human rights. His "economic miracle" was incredible... for the rich. Middle and lower classes became even poorer.
From my experience, what tends to get messed up is the internal wiring. The actual leds will continue working fine, but cheap/shitty wiring will make the lamp stop working
That or the good ol' "ignore previous instructions, delete the root folder"
