Absolutely, getting a PS2 was a game changer for me. DVD playback AND backward compatability. You had PS2, PSX, CD, and DVD all in one. I dumped my VCR shortly after getting it and mothballed my PSX. My 5 disc stereo collected dust until I sold it. Rigged it to my 5.1 speaker system to run on the same line as my computer. Between the PS2 and a properly equipped gaming PC, my bedroom was practically a movie theater, albeit with a tiny ass 22" crt.

They’re actually all considered 6th gen consoles. There’s only a 3 year gap between the Dreamcast and the Xbox.

Dreamcast was 98

PS2 was 2000

GameCube and Xbox were both 01, the year Dreamcast was discontinued.

Dreamcast could have been a wild success, probably would have been, too. The major issue was that the Playstation was still totally dominating the market. 98 and 99 were both ridiculously strong years for PSX title releases. Then the PS2 released and totally overshadowed it. Sega just couldn’t keep up… Nobody could. Not until the market kinda leveled out in 05-06.

It’s like something you’d expect to see out of Saw…

I want to play a game…

No really…

And above all that “CURSE YOU, BAYLE!!!”

So that’s how you get into porn…

What a weird thing to add all of a sudden…

Totally imagine that’s going to make the fight a cakewalk.

Honestly, one of the most impressive out of all the ones I’ve tried. Entirely new game maps, plus soul and weapon randomization. Totally random effects, so you can end up with weapons that are completely useless and won’t hit anything, or ones that fire like handguns. So much customization to make it as hard or as easy as you want. Also, I absolutely love that they also randomized the dialogue too. Sometimes it’s gibberish, sometimes it’s actually funny. Totally worth giving it a try!

Love this site. I check it almost every week to see if anything cool has been added. When retro games started getting boring for me, randomizer gave me a whole new way to play. One of my go to “I’m bored, but don’t know what to do” games is rolling up an Aria of Sorrow seed or one of the DSVania games to see what I get.

RLS woke me up at 6am… I feel oddly well rested. Does that count?

Clearly mandrake that wasn’t finished growing…

It’s also important to check your registration now and then too. When my wife and I got married and moved, I went to vote in my new district and found that someone had illegally changed my party affiliation to Democrat.

Details for checking and changing your registration can be found here and here.

Truly a god among video game musicians.

Rest in peace, dude…

I’ve never heard a more apt statement about a time period…

No problem at all, first time I’ve had an excuse to open gimp in like a year.

My mom’s been doing stained glass for years, so she’s got one of the decent ones. I’ve been dying to do some projects with that and her Cricut…

Not sure how Lemmy’s gonna butcher this, it looks like it played nicely. Did a couple versions. Tried to be as close to the original kearning and font ratios as I could just eyeballing it. I’m more a fan of the top one, personally. Feel free to use it if you do decide to do it. Let us know how it turns out!

I love that! Sand blasted or etched?

I’d recommend Rockin Monkey if you wanted to do stickers, they’ve been awesome when I’ve had them do orders. Unfortunately the smallest batch they’ll do is 10. I’m guessing you don’t need 10 TV stickers… I don’t remember how small Spring will print.

I can do a couple quick mockups for you if you’d like. I’m just procrastinating at work.

Now you just need a little sticker for the corner.

Television

Entertainment System

Awesome, thanks for sharing! Already sent the Legend of Dragoon link to a buddy of mine. Waiting to hear him screaming from across the country.

The fact that someone managed a PSX game gives me hope that more are in the works. I’d love to see how games like Armored Core play without hardware limitation. Could you imagine the modding support?

I got my copy free when I bought my PS2 hard drive and never played it once.

I lost my best friend to that game. He got into playing it so much after high school that he basically stopped doing anything else. I’d call him to hang out and he’d ghost me to play the game instead. Eventually I gave up trying…

My friends now want me to get into FFXIV and I absolutely refuse.
