This one took me really long (literally several days), but the ezBuff did pull it off! Ultimate Spider-man for PS2 succesfully restored and 100% ripped. Deep scratches and pits had me had to resurface it twice, and buff all the way back to fully shiny.

not gonna lie, I'm actually really excited to share this soon! 😂 A few of you are in the know, and I love that the reply has unanimously been "oh, I did not expect that, but that's amazing!". Last detail before release: It's a tool, not a replica as you would have expected from me!

"Why are people so negative about the economy?" Consider this. There are two possibilities: 1) He's right and my livelihood is screwed. Maybe not 18 months but soon. 2) He's full of shit, it won't happen, and AI is a giant bubble that will crash the economy. Why would I feel good about either?
