Here's my take on the GTA6 trailer. The protagonists seem very bland, especially when compared to other entries in the series. The snippets of the classic Rockstar style parodies are carp. Although undoubtedly pretty to look at, it doesn't seem to be offering anything new.

This is one of the most ambitious PS2 projects I've ever seen. The PSBBN was already cool on its own, but this project makes me love it even more! If you have the tools to install it, definitely check this out!

I'm currently hard at work on another PSBBN Definitive Project feature update. I wasn't planning to make any more update videos, but this definitely deserves one! It'll be a few more weeks before it's ready. If you'd like to support my work, you can buy me a coffee here: ko-fi.com/cosmicscale

I keep seeing videos like this pop up on YouTube, and they just serve as a reminder of how complicated and time-consuming it was to set up a PS2 HDD before the PSBBN Definitive Project existed. #PS2 #PSBBN #RetroGaming youtu.be/L2Fv6xEROT8?...

Look what's popped up on AliExpress. A fully assembled EasyHDD! It uses a GameStar HDD adapter under the hood, so it won't be PSBBN-compatible, but it should work with HOSDMenu. I can't vouch for the quality, but at this price it might be worth a punt. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005012...

I was planning to release the long-awaited #PSBBN Definitive Project update this week, but some major PS2 homebrew developments have enabled me to add one more feature. Hopefully releasing next week. It'll be well worth the wait. This update is going to be epic!

I'm still hard at work on the upcoming PSBBN Definitive Project update. It should be releasing sometime in June. This will likely be the last major feature update, as I've pretty much run out of new features to add after this one. #PSBBN #PS2 #RetroGaming
