If anything ps3 was the point where they started designing with HD in mind. You want ps2 and lower. So for one example, the textures in Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast version) result in a pseudo-3D effect on a CRT, but become noticeably flattened on an HD display.
You could also give the famous Symphony of the Night a try, and see if the art really does match that example picture. Really anything ps1 era, and SNES as well.
In a sense that already exists, as I’m pretty sure there are extra plan benefits if you opt-in to more surveillance.
Yeah, I’m fucking done with cars. Can’t afford em anyway.
Whatever money that went into this study could have been used on something less stupid.
Maybe I’m missing something though?
My problem isn’t with open-source online services existing. Of course some things are inherently net-based. My problem is with the way everything is being done as a server even when it’s completely unnecessary. Syncthing alone - which is not server-based btw - is more than enough to take care of cloud needs for everything from calendars, to photos, recipes, text files, password databases, and more.
Hell, it’d actually be pretty interesting if someone did come up with a way to make a e2e chat client that works through Syncthing.
My point is I just want to download an app, have that app convert a recipe webpage into its own standard format, and then save that file on my own device. I do not want to deal with the hassle of getting Docker installed and working, nor to have it gobble up tons of computer resources just to do that one simple thing.
Synthing does not use a server based architecture.

“You can boil so much water with this.”
Those same routers that still have problems with security updates, and are frequently the targets of cyber attacks? So how is it in any way a good idea to run entire server stacks, and databases (which throw a wrench in data portability compared to standard file formats), creating so much bloat and unnecessary attack surface, and then making all of these apps network-facing - opening them up to attacks?
How about instead I just use a standard text editor to save my recipe as a markdown file, and if I need to move it I can either get a usb cord or use Syncthing? Sorry but this whole self host movement is pretty insane.
On the one hand I do support the existence of open-source self-hostable alternatives to surveillance-capitalist offerings. But at the same time it has been driving me crazy how many things are being shifted toward this server-based architecture. For one example, I want an open-source app that will allow me to import recipes from any text or website automatically. But I want those recipes to save in files, be offline, and I do not want to maintain a whole damn server just to manage my fucking recipes.
Not everything needs to be web connected by default, and most people have no interest in running any kind of server.
I have a popcorn popping machine like what they have in theaters. I was going to sell it because it takes up way too much space and I need the money, but then I tested it out and it is one of my favorite things. When I have cravings, I flood it full of perfectly cooked, salted, and oiled popcorn within minutes, and fill an 8 qt Instant Pot pot because cylinder shapes hold more popcorn than bowl shapes can.
Sometimes the adult thing to do is have popcorn for dinner.
Torvalds had this kind of energy throughout the entire video.
I remember trying a Game Shark on a few games back in high school, and what I found is that it made the games boring really fast.
More recently I tried applying cheats in Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I still didn’t make it past the first level. 😭
Higher taxes on the rich don’t go far enough, because they can just leverage their assets to corrupt democracies and roll everything back.
Corporations need to be banned.
I love some classic Mario Kart 64, but a family member and his friends kind of ruined that one for me. It’s a game that has relatively little content and is best played in small doses to not get sick of it, but they didn’t do that. They went through a whole phase of playing it every day and gaining expert level skills in it. I was not aware of how deep the meta for MK64 is, because the last time I played against them, they were exploiting glitches in virtually every track and leaving everyone else in the dust.
Was always more of a Diddy Kong Racing fan anyway.
Have you ever looked into the details of their shelters?
If I could photosynthesize and fix my own atmospheric nitrogen, I happily would.
They do, in their own way.
I like the ds4 - so much so that I want to get a new one and mod it for more modern features. But it’s still distinctly larger. It can be kind of surprizing to re-experience just how small and light the ds2 is compared to newer controllers.
Dude, I was there and this is not true. Ps3 is what pushed me to opt for HD, and 90% of the time I spent on that system was in HD. That shift happened everywhere very quickly, especially by the time Skyrim came out - the text of which is damn near unreadable on a CRT.
