I'm one of those people who can read stuff when I'm on the bus and subway so I tend to read books when I'm commuting to work :shobon:

This is how I managed to read all of the Game of Thrones books.

But sometimes I just wanna play some old PS1 classics and some Vita titles on my commute.

victrix posted:

The Vita was such a quality product, it's a goddamn shame it got dropped so fast

Dumb thing is it's still a very useful PS4 tool and has a ton of awesome games because the PSP also had a ton of awesome games

If only homebrew worked easily on it so I could use my Tactics Ogre and FFT speed hacks :<

Of all of the dumb videogame purchases I've ever made, the Vita easily ranks as the most surprising (in a good way) and is one of the best. It's powerful, plays a ton of different games, is durable, and has a great form factor. I don't even try to link it to my PS4 (I need to put the PS4 on a dedicated wired line and leave the wireless free for the Vita to have a solid enough bandwidth) and I still think it's useful/great.

I think it failed mostly because Nintendo's always had a stranglehold on the portable market and the rise of smartphone gaming left a lot of people wondering if it actually met/fulfilled any particular demand (it does, but I think you have to buy it first to realize it which is never great). I'd kill for it to have a Souls game, so it sounds like it's time for me to work out my connection kinks at home so I can at least play those games anywhere in my house.

Having it on mute allowed you to ignore everything terrible about it, which was the runner's incessant annoying yammering.

abraxas posted:

The runner was just very obnoxious and loud and ragey and yelling a lot. He got very mad at every thing that even slightly inconvenienced him and he would not stop talking about the $20k donation incentive for his stupid "Lobotomy Chicken" meme song nobody but his channel viewers would know. Unsurprisingly, the incentive did not get met but he still wouldn't shut up about it until the very last second of the run before they cut away.

I’m assuming the runner was an absolute pain the rear end to listen to throughout the run? Now I’m glad I managed to dodge that bullet.

So I was went to look at r/speedruns for the sole purpose of seeing how bad people were making GBS threads on the last run and instead found out that someone who tried playing Strider for the first time after seeing the tutorial yesterday found a brand new glitch that is actually faster than the current strategy

I remember reading about this game as a kid and not getting to play it :saddowns:

I missed some random games from that generation

Upshot: Lead to me playing FF4 in early 2000s, and it was still loving awesome. Replayed it on the amazing PSP remake a few years back and it still holds up. It feels like the most FF music of all FFs to me.
