I’d like there to be an OLED option for people who use handheld mode heavily and want to pay more for a better display. But for the base model, it makes total sense for it to be an LCD display. That’s just prudent, as the average player probably doesn’t care and wants to pay less. Especially parents buying this at Christmas.

Awesome information, thank you so much!

Thanks, I didn’t realize there was an expansion. I’m not sure if GamePass includes it so I’ll look into it.

It must be incredibly frustrating to be the new CEO that he just appointed, only to have him continuing to run his mouth and make ruinous decisions that tie your hands.

It’s really apparent that Spez and the rest of the admin team don’t actually use Reddit on a day to day basis. Their decisions are like some consultant coming in and recommending ideas.

I think it’s very on-brand for Reddit to announce that they are removing a feature without having a replacement ready for primetime.

Why on Earth would you announce this now when you’re not ready for whatever is coming next? It’s like they are purposely trying to kill Reddit.

I’m only half joking that I’m expecting Mark Zuckerberg to announce a new app called “Links” next week that looks suspiciously like Reddit, because this pattern is starting to feel familiar.

True in society at large, but to be fair, I don’t think this post is trying to be “Team Threads” as much as it’s trying to point out the consequences of the very different decisions they made. And hopefully in the future, some stupid CEO will think twice when trying to implement shit like Elon Musk did.

This is just my own take, but I feel like at least part of the reason they went back to releasing new versions is because of the recent resurgence of macOS. Not only do Macs have the excitement of Apple Silicon, but they have annual “new” OS releases; even if not much has changed, it creates excitement with their fanbase. I think Microsoft realized that it’s not very exciting to just be on Windows 10 forever. So we got Windows 11.

Amusing that Twitter’s cease and desist notice claims that Meta is using its “trade secrets”. Lmfao what trade secrets? Twitter has no unique technology or patents. Their whole business position is nothing more than first mover advantage for their format of social media.

That’s why they’ve never made money. They don’t have any novel IP or “trade secrets” to leverage in the first place.

Say what you want about Meta, but at least they have a whole ad platform that they created that competes with Google Ad Sense, and is an actual asset.

Oh man that is so generous of you! I wish I had seen this earlier, but I already bought one locally off of Facebook marketplace. Donating it is a great idea though, especially if you can find some charity that works with kids. Rock on.

and piracy

You mean all the backups that I have of PS3 games from the console I never had? ;)

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about the pads; I’ll be sure to do those too.

Worse–I think it belonged to a teenager.

All the basics still work with the online service, though you have to go through some extra steps to buy games on the PS3 store now.

Wow, that’s awesome. I’m so used to Nintendo’s BS shutting down their last gen online stores, it’s amazing that Sony is still supporting a store from 2 generations ago, extra steps or not.

I do own a PC, I don’t know if it qualifies as good or not. It has integrated AMD graphics, but it’s actually a pretty good little card (Ryzen 5 5600G). I’ll see how it runs the emulator. 🤞

None of the games I want to play are on the PS+ classics collection, which is so strange. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t put Killzone on PS+ for example.

Good point, I didn’t think about the degraded performance aspect. I guess if I did get one, I should look for one of the later revisions.

Man, it feels like Xbox just has such a hard time getting a steady game pipeline.

I’m not OP, but I started taking paroxetine (Paxil in the US) for social anxiety disorder in 2010. It took a few weeks for it to take effect, and I had some side effects for about 90 days. However, ever since then, I have had zero anxiety issues for the rest of my life, and I no longer have any side effects. I take 20mg once daily.

I know SSRIs are a controversial topic, and some people don’t like them, but for what it’s worth, it changed my life for the better.
