In some ways, we all become our fathers I guess, lol.

God damn it

It’s sad. I haven’t played my ps5 very much… And I’m enjoying older games or indies on PC more than any new games that come out. The quality of AAA seems to have fallen so far.

I only bought the 4 and 5 new, but I collect retro games and have all 5 base models. I used to pick them up on eBay or at garage sales back in the day. I remember that feeling of winning a bid (I didn’t have a lot of money for it, so it took a while).

Playstations weren’t my consoles growing up - I went from Nintendo systems to Xbox, but I still played them a lot at friends’ houses.

Yeah, I’d count the original as curvy for this pattern. It was never meant to stand up like this.

I’m with you. I’m not really one for story-driven or grindy games, but give me a game that feels impossible at first, and I’ll be hooked.

I love feeling myself steadily improve.

Yeah, being able to google stuff that’s not working has been a lifesaver for me. Or (and I know it’s not popular here) taking a snippet of some confusing output and giving it to an AI to have it explain what things mean.

Always about 30% more than you’re expecting.

It will be unsupported in 6 months too.

Yes, but if you have other red appliances, the shade of red won’t match.

I just picked a random image of packages being updated.

Or if you mean the Star Trek image, it’s from an episode where Uhura and Spock are trying to fix one of the consoles on the bridge. ‘Who Mourns for Adonais’ season 2, episode 2.

It does look filtered, doesn’t it? I saw so many versions of it when looking it up. For example:

The boot sequence is what I was picturing originally, but I didn’t know how to word that cleanly for the meme, lol.

I’m trying! There’s a lot.

It’s an English stereotype that they feel awkward when expressing emotions and would rather suffer silently than “impose” on someone by asking for help.

(edit: or at least that was my read. The other person who replied might be right that it could be a joke about recent events, because they arrest 30+ people per day for social media posts.)

I missed a very important 96% shot in XCOM last night. I’m still thinking about it.

Unintentional, but that’s funny. I think I played a Lemmings demo sometime back in the 90s, but not enough to remember any specifics.

That’s exactly where they are!
