@MisterAddons Ordered mine on Monday with a Red cable and I'm eagerly waiting to try mine out. Eventually I'm looking to order the cables for my other consoles. 😁

Reflex Volt console power cables are hand-tested and have been reliably sold for years. If you buy no-name cables, I wish you the best. misteraddons.com/products/conso…

Probably the best "official" way of playing these games currently

@mrjinjin2612 I mean with enough dedication and hatred I'm sure someone out there could do it

Can we throw celebrities who larp hobbies and make them infinitely more expensive in the gulag and make em fight each other to the death?

@K0T0H1KA I pray that the inevitable Gen 5 remakes are actually decent this time instead of literally the same games but fully 3D in HD. I still can't believe they didn't include anything extra from Platinum.

I just know working on that game was a soul crushing experience 😭

@LonelyGoomba The amount of people that just can't learn how to use the bill pay kiosk at my store is astounding. They just get angry at it instead.

Sat in a waiting room and seen three different sets of boomers struggle with a touch screen coffee machine to comical levels and it just makes me wonder how these people manage with anything. You might think the machine is complicated but it's really not.

@Howards_Arcade I was thinking of getting ridge racer 5 would that count

@kawoshiki Needs the definitive version of Power Battle and Power Fighters with VS mode

「ロックマンDASH」が発売されたのは26年前？ ミクとしてプレイしてみて。dashgl.itch.io/mml2-miku-mod

I'm one of the creators of the initial trilogy. 30 years have passed — it feels both long and short. Those early works have become classics. Yet a work isn't finished when completed; it keeps growing within the people who receive it. They've grown in their own ways. Thank you! 😊

More Star Fox💫

@MemeSlugAttack Same with these

Poor MS3D completely forgotten and left behind, for obviously seasons #metalslug30th

@SynthPotato It would be the absolute funniest thing if Yoshida went over to Nintendo. At least there they'd respect him.

Shuhei Yoshida has revealed he was fired from PlayStation by Jim Ryan for not listening to him. Yoshida helped games like God of War and The Last of Us Meanwhile, Jim Ryan’s push to live services resulted in 8 cancelled games, handicapping the PS5 generation. What a sad mess.

Sony spent up to $400 million making a single video game. It sold 25,000 copies in 14 days before Sony pulled it from sale. Cost per copy sold: about $16,000. The studio shut down two months later. The executive who warned them had already been fired for saying no. The game was Concord. The executive was Shuhei Yoshida, who ran Sony's in-house game studios for 11 years and helped ship some of the biggest PlayStation hits ever: God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima. These are games you buy once and finish. Sony made billions on that model. Spider-Man alone generated $315 million in digital sales. The Last of Us 2 pulled nearly $250 million. God of War Ragnarok sold 15 million copies, with $279 million from digital downloads alone. Then in 2019, a new CEO took over PlayStation. Jim Ryan wanted Sony's studios to stop making those kinds of games and chase a different model: live service. Live service is Fortnite's model: games designed to keep you playing and paying forever, earning money through endless small purchases instead of one-time sales. Ryan told his team to ship 12 of these by 2025. Yoshida refused. Ryan removed him from running the studios and gave him a choice: take a smaller role working with indie developers or leave the company. Yoshida took the role and stayed at Sony for another six years. At an industry event in Australia last weekend, he finally said plainly that Ryan fired him from running the studios for refusing to do the 'ridiculous things' Ryan had demanded. Of those 12 live service games, 8 were cancelled before they ever came out. Naughty Dog killed a Last of Us multiplayer game in late 2023. Bend Studio's sci-fi game died in January 2025. Twisted Metal and a London fantasy game were both scrapped in early 2024, and the London studio was closed. Insomniac's Spider-Man multiplayer was abandoned. A God of War live service game was cancelled, then the studio making it (Bluepoint) was shut down this past February. A Destiny spin-off was scrapped. Deviation Games, a studio Sony had partnered with, was shut down before shipping anything. Only one of the 12 actually worked. Helldivers 2 was a big hit. But the studio that made it, Arrowhead, isn't owned by Sony, and they've already said they won't partner with Sony on their next game. The total damage under Ryan: $3.7 billion spent buying Bungie (the studio behind Destiny), up to $400 million written off on Concord, and roughly 1,500 jobs lost across studios that got shut down. The PS5 generation is now short on the kind of games that built PlayStation in the first place. Yoshida was pushed out in 2019 for saying no to one strategy. Five years and a few billion dollars later, Sony's current CEO says the new plan is to 'fail early and fail cheaply.'

I still find it really weird that select Switch 1 games got a free resolution update for Switch 2, but others just... didn't. Like why did New Super Mario Bros Deluxe and Pokemon S/V get one but not TTYD remake or Legends Arceus 😭
