I've been a hardcore PlayStation guy since I was about 9 when I got my first console the PS1.

Crash team racing is better than Mario Kart 64

Spyro the Dragon is the best 3D platformer of the late 90s.

I've had a PS2.. That still works 22 years later.

I was in the great wars of PS2 vs XBOX.

I like Halo 1 and 2, I like Killzone 1, 2 and 3.

I was there at the beginning.

I was there when Sony moved their PlayStation HQ from Japan to America.

I was there when the quality of good JRPGs and adventure games plummeted so we could be fed a new call of duty and FIFA every year.

These days I'm PC, PS5 and switch. I will not be buying a PS6 or a Switch 2.

It should be mentioned that.. I'd rather throw myself down a cliff than buy an Xbox.

I'm PS5, Switch 2, and PC tertiary. Honestly, I regret buying the Switch 2 since I can nearly play all the same games on SW1 still.

Ill probably still get a PS6 since I already only buy digital, but having an account deleted after only 3 years is complete BS, and makes me rethink everything.

the only playstations i will be buying are ones with old and outdated firmwares and hen support

It's not just them. I accidentally ended up in prison for 5 years and lost my Google account, and because I had two FA setup with email and the phone number I had at the time that means I also lost my steam account and pretty much every single digital account I had. Thousands of games on different storefronts.

Ironically the only single place that helped me recover my account was the kind folks at Roberts Space Industries. I was an initial backer... Maybe one day the game will be done.

Everything else I pirate now. If you don't own it physically, you don't own it.

An initial backer of Star Citizen who still believes in the project is worth his weight in gold-pressed latinum to Roberts Space Industries.

... I mean, I don't. They've done some cool shit, but they haven't made one actual good game much less a billion dollars worth of good games. But after losing steam, GOG, PlayStation, and Microsoft accounts I just sort of got desperate.

"Maybe one day the game will be done," is more grace than that game deserves, as you probably are aware.

I just found out about Luanti, a voxel-engine with a bunch of different implementations. It's free. I'm going to try that this week.

The formatting of my message got ruined.. I had to use two returns or it all ended up in a giant wall of text..

(For people under 30, Return is what the Enter key is called.. I don't know what it's called on phones.. the icon on your phone that is going down and has an arrow pointing left).

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

'Return' is a typewriter holdover for new line + carriage return, since a new line just went down without returning all the way to the start. The arrow to the right means its a 'return' key ;) Just turned 33 too
