A single vermin in a foreign country has direct control of what billions of people across the globe see, with no oversight even during an election. No democracy can resist this. Zuckerberg is the modern Goebbels, hopefully he'll have the same end as his predecessor.

Oh wait, he said that because he's only mentioning third-party machines that run Official Products? Of 30yo consoles? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Yeah man, glad someone is out there fighting for the scalpers

You can tell even Luke doesn't actually want or searched for this, since the article says third-party machines can only run older stuff - even as PS2 has been common for years: retrododo.com/best-handhel... So really, what's this besides "I wish I was 12 again" & brand fetishism? We can do better.

Felipe Pepe @felipepepe.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I honestly struggle to see the point... You already can buy a used (and chipped) PS2, Chinese handhelds with PS2 support, or just emulate it on basically any machine from the last 15 years... And there's tons of new PS2-inspired games I don't understand the need for it to be a New Official Product™

I feel Dragon's Dogma is suffering from the same issue as the Souls series - all the cool ideas are slowly overtaken by focus on its combat. Yeah, the combat is good, but to me the real charm was how its world reacted to your actions, not just A/B choices on a menu. No one mentions that anymore :/

If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

De novo um aviso do Celso Rocha de Barros para a imprensa. Como nós, ele perdeu a paciência por completo. Só acho que tem gente que embarcou nessa canoa achando somente que o colega é que vai se dar mal e, assim como na ascensão do fascismo e do nazismo, muitos vão até ser promovidos.

I'll be doing a full review of this for Steam Hype tomorrow, because this is SUCH an amazing game and nobody should miss it, and it is COMPLETELY FREE, supported through Ko-Fi and merch. While it's an episodic living work, with this release, I'd say 'Book 1' is complete, with a finale & epilogue.

This is a nice article, I would just add the angle of accessibility - Pokémon is a global phenomena but original games are very expensive to play and only available in a few languages. So it's no surprise a lot of people get introduced to the games via translation hacks and fangames on PC & Android

As someone who grew up with the original, I really disagree... it it was an optional easter egg I would be all for it, but as the only English dub it feels like a meme that went too far. Or maybe it's just some poorly-disguised cost-cutting.

That's the PS2 era. Then in 2016 a Brazilian modder called Androgamer made a "Lite" version of GTA:SA for Android, removing audio & assets to make it small / easy to run This also led to many local lite versions... but they're usually only shared on Youtube, FB & Discord: youtu.be/Hhku9x4iIA0?...

In the 2000s these spread thanks to street sellers. In Brazil there's some classic ones, like Tropa de Elite: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPC2... Other countries also did these, like GTA Bab Al-Hara in Arab countries. Some are big mod collections, others are literally just CLEO cheats + a CJ skin swap
