I have never heard the term adulting outside of a self deprecating joke like "Paid taxes for the first time. Finally getting used to adulting!" Or "went grocery shopping and came back with fruit snacks, beer, and potato chips. How do I adult?" Y'all are straight up old men sitting on a porch wondering about all the crazy lingo kids use.

I was vaguely wondering if that was happening but didn't want to say anything lest I be revealed as the Old

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Adulting, as I see it used on tumblr / amongst my friends and myself, generally means that ugh, we're gonna go do our chores / pay the bills / go to work - do all of that super tedious stuff that goes into having a clean home, having enough money to live on, all of that stuff that we don't enjoy doing, but understand is good and necessary to live. I mean, who wants to clean the bathroom? No one! But it has to be done or else we live in a cesspit, so, well, adulting.

If we're actually depressed and having trouble doing stuff, that's something else entirely. Feeding yourself generally isn't seen as "adulting", and more self-care.

The people who localized the first 3 games deserve some kinda award.

The other games aren't badly localized or anything but gosh darn did those first 3 knock it out of the park with replacing the wordplay and getting the timing to work in english.

I dearly hope that nothing in Phoenix Wright games is true to life because what the gently caress. Witch trials are conducted with more even-handedness.

The Japanese court system is Not Good, although it was worse when the first Phoenix Wright games were made.

They recently returned to a jury system like 8 years ago I think, while before it was just a judge.

Wait, what? I had that game and played the gently caress out of it, in what way was it unplayable? Load times? I don't remember them at all, and I tend to remember poo poo like that (Okage was so loving good except for the load times).

PS2 had notorious issues with blue disc games. Some PS2s couldn't read them at all, others could read them but would constantly chug or making grinding noises. Maybe this was fixed on slim models or something? I tried about 3 different models of fat PS2s back in the day and they all had the same issues, TotFL was basically unplayable, GGX1 wouldn't run at all, for some examples.

The load time, even when working correctly, was pretty drat slow in that game too though. So HD Loader made it 100% more tolerable IMO.

Yeah that's weird, I played it on My First PS2 which was a 2001 model. By 2004 it had stopped reading DVD games but it would still read CDs.

The common problem with PS2s was that the laser would unalign itself and make it unable to play certain random types of discs, although there were sometimes weird workarounds.

My first PS2 eventually made it so that CD games would only work when the system was vertical.

Man, that's so weird. Maybe I just always got lucky with my hardware, but my PS2 was fine throughout its lifetime. I'd fire it up next time I have a chance to check even now, too, but needing the hardware itself has been outdated thanks to how far PCSX2 has come in the past five years.

Apparently some models of PS2 you could adjust the alignment of the laser to fix the issue, but I tried doing that with mine and never saw any difference at all.

Mine was a later model (maybe 2004 or so) so I wouldn't be surprised if they started using cheaper CD lasers over time or something like that.
