They hired the guy who was making ports and recoding sonic games on other systems better than the official 'sega emulator on a console' game packages (Christian Whitehead). It was pretty great to see.

    The story I saw was that AI was used in all the effects and the audience is just going to have to accept it. After the main animation team unionized, they laid them all off and went to AI instead. You can see the difference in quality.

    They're about the same now. You can do temporary or permanent. You can get a SD card adapter to not use their proprietary storage.

    And then you can install all psp stuff done there too.

    I traded mine in when I got a steamdeck, I went back to a PSP instead of a vita for it's size. Just installed a usb-c charger mod on my psp2000 too.

    Super straightforward. Best thing you can do. Load a usb drive with ISOs and you are set. Its the best homebrew/emulation console you could hope for. If your disc drive was working it would be the cheapest bluray player you could hope for

    Great link. I really appreciate the savings too. $3400 total spend $3200 savings Bought my first game in 2017. Tough part is I was on humble choice for 2 years so that's all savings throwing off my numbers. But not bad for 9 years of fun.

    There are PC tools to get around steam DRM. If the time comes where I need to use them, I will. Until then I'll support steam or gog and the game creators one way or the other the goal is to play the games I want and support the people who make them.

    I think the main reason for this on PC has been the fact that there's been piracy/licensing for so long. We used to have cd keys to prove you were using the legit disc. You bought a license, and there were cdchecks. Once you were able to prove ownership with a key instead of a disc, and create your own offline installers too? All the reasons to fight against it were gone. On consoles you can't make offline backups. You can't play without constant online license checks. And once the license date rolls over you can't play anyway.

    My gog backup, I can install offline tomorrow never touch the Internet and be fine.

    Jirard Khalil gives an in-depth breakdown of what happened with the open hands non profit. I've been waiting a year for this video and I am happy to see Jirard again. Everyone will have to decide for themselves but I accept what he has to say and look forward to supporting his content again.

     

    I just found this when looking for Canadian alternatives. Anyone else hear about gander? I'm doing my best to support home grown and open alternatives but I have to choose what I am doing on the platform. It's unlikely that my older family will ever leave Facebook, but honestly, what do I miss by not being present there? Birthday posts on my wall and the latest vacation picture...
