    I made one with a hard drive and a TB of games on it as a Christmas gift for a friend and myself.

    Was recently talking to a working student at $DAYJOB about LLMs and wanted to make the point that the pay-per-use model shows they’re still a relatively new/immature technology. So, I likened them to mobile phone calls, which would generally cost you per minute in the early 2000s.

    Yeah, she had no idea what I was talking about.

        For some reason I found a USB to ethernet network adaptor on my floor in my dorm room (no idea how it got there, just noticed it under the bed one day) at university and tried it with the PS2 I played using a TV in card for my PC and it just worked. Played some online Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 with it.

        Contrast to today, where my PS5 supports Bluetooth but when I paired it with my Bluetooth headset, it didn’t recognize it and I’m sure that was deliberate to get people to buy Sony’s (or partners) headsets. Which is one of the reasons I probably won’t ever bother with a console again (though Sony has been generous and has provided me with plenty of reasons to not bother).

      That’s good, take care of it and enjoy it. My Dreamcast GD-Rom finally gave up last year, but some day I’ll replace it.

    I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

    I really liked the PlayStation 2, the third place!" commercials for it.

    That said, I’ve always been team PC, so excuse me while I go play some Tapper and Alley Cat.

    Seeing how old a youtube video is makes me feel older than this. Like I see 16y on a YouTube video I was watching literally 16 years ago and I feel old from that.

    This though, it throws me into a nostalgia loop of man I do miss plying ps1 games on the ps2, spending time with my brother, buying accessories for it like the memory cards and the controllers with extra vibration or the ones with the fans in the handles. Man those were good times. Playing dbz budokai 2 and soul caliber 2. Awww man the THPS games were fuckin’ sick on that. The Matt Hoffman bike games!!!

    Yea it was truly a legendary system.

    I haven’t played video games since the Atari 2600. You kids don’t know!! Back in my day I had to walk ten miles in the snow for a hit of ecstacy

    I have two in my closet and one downstairs in the TV Room, just in case one of them gives up. Plenty spare controllers as well. Made some of my best childhood/teen gaming memories with that console. Played it at the first sleepover i ever went to and at a boatload of family gatherings. It still gets use to this day for racing games when the family is here.

    I still have my first US gen PS2 (fat boy, not the slim one) and it still works fine. Doesn’t look good on modern tvs though
