For the DC? yeah, it would play burned CDs no problem.

For the playstation? not sure. I had mine modded so I could import games from Japan but I don’t believe it could play burned CDs.

Xbox and the 360 were easy to mod though and you could play burned games on those also.

But yeah the Dreamcast just did it right out of the box. no mods required.

majority of my clients use it, just makes them feel better.

yup, majority of clients use so just makes things easier on them. Dont’ get me wrong I hate it too but they like it so whatever, I adapt.

best decision I ever made years and years ago was to stop being a regular employee and instead do freelance/consulting work. No more interruptions. Emails can be ignored when need be, same with calls and texts, I don’t use whatsapp or any of that. My Jira is PURELY for bug tracking and if anyone that has been invited into it goes off rails on it for something OTHER than bug tracking they get removed.

If I go into an office I leave whenever I want. If someone starts bothering me I pack up and go.

I had a program that came with special CD Labels for the printer where you could make your own cool CD label covers. that was fun.

Or going into a Dreamcast IRC channel to download games and burn them to disk. I think I only ever actually bought like 2 Dreamcast games, Shenmue and Seaman, the rest were just burned to CD-Rs.

I don’t see how it would save time as someone whose job is to currently undo what “time” it “saves”. You can give Claude Code the most fantastic and accurate prompt in the world but you’re still going to have to explain to it how something actually works when it gets to the point, and it will, that it starts contradicting itself and over complicating things.

You said yourself he has to reiterate through the code with the LLM to get something that works. If he already knows it, he could just write it. Having to explain to something HOW to write what you ALREADY know can’t possibly be saving time. it’s Coding with extra steps.

God bless vibe coders, because of them I’m buying a new PC build this week AND I’ve decided to get a PS5.

Thank you Vibe Coders, your laziness and and sheer idiocy are padding my wallet nicely.

ok I must be losing my mind then. I could have sworn it required something like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31qtoUfewyL.jpg I remember as a kid going to a babages and picking up a copy and a guy was like “does your computer have a keyboard card? otherwise it wont’ work” and then I swore it was also stated on the box…but christ now I might have just been dreaming it.

Remember when Star Wars Shadows of the Empire came out on PC and apparently, it’s been awhile so maybe I’m not remembering correctly, but you needed a special card for your keyboard to play it?

libreddit instance allows you to do that. one I’m using right now: https://discuss.whatever.social/

note that you have to kinda bounce around from instance to instance as some will be great for a couple weeks then go away or crash and then you have to find another one.

I mean really just spruce up one unit, charge for tours, charge for applications, why even bother renting?

I mean places already charge just to submit an app.

basically “autopilot” for claude code.

I can tell you exactly what happened. “Hey Claude, I need to configure and setup a DB with Firebase to store images from our application.” and then promptly hit shift+tab and then went to go browse Reddit.

nothing was tested. nothing was verified. They let the AI do its thing they checked in on it after an hour or so. once it was done it was add all, commit -m “done”, push origin master. AI doesn’t implement security stuff. there was zero security here.

just use one of the libreddits like safereddit.com or something, never go to actual reddit.

sorry bud, I live in Beaconsfild village. I ride the vomit commit almost daily. We don’t need an extensive subway network.

as someone who lives in Toronto I mean…you really don’t need an extensive subway network here. We have a lot of buses and several lines of street cars (trollys, trains on the road, whatever you call them where you live).

So what’s being shown here is ONLY the subway network. it doesn’t show the vast street car lines would would make it look A LOT like the China photo.

Invidious instance I use that has never caused me problems: https://invidious.f5.si/feed/popular

as far as libreddit…yeah it can be hit or miss. safereddit.com is generally pretty decent and hasn’t gone down too much, only issue I have with that is videos are very slow to play if at all.

I’ve been using Astro with Sanity for a bit now and I dig it. easy to setup and build.

if you utilize it as a tool it’s fine. it can be a good rubber duck or github copilot saves you like 2 seconds to just hit tab to complete something that’s correct in the preview. But utilizing it to do anymore than that and you’ve lost. Claude will constantly make things up or tell you to use libraries that have been orphaned for like 5+ years.

anyone who says “it can help you write better code” are fooling themselves. I’ve yet to see it.
