It's very weird that people call the PS1 the PSX. I get why it happens, but it's still extremely weird. You'll also be hearing from the actual PSX's lawyers.

Going up to the Wii is diabolical

I've been running a poll, and so far, readers have voted the SNES the best retro console of all time. It's still open, though, so you can help another system usurp Nintendo's '90s brick, help cement its claim to the throne, or just shout at everyone. www.gamesradar.com/hardware/ret...

So far, 20% of GamesRadar+ readers think the SNES is the greatest retro console of all time, but 80% of you would crown another system

The SNES is the current victor, but you can still have your say

Barista thought my name was "Phern" the other day. Just thought I should let you all know.

Louis Theroux and Hank Green both using AI is morbid, but I'll lose it if I ever see Tom Scott endorse that shit.

I should treat myself with some messing around with CRTs fun time, right? Right?!

Pretending I know DIY and trying to reseal the shower so it doesn't turn the kitchen into a shower. I also need a shower, but can't shower as I now need to wait on the shower curing.

the oscilloscope can produce mind-boggling effects 💀

My reward for trying to combat depression and clean my house is that my shower sealant was actually buggered and ended up pishing through into my kitchen via the light.

Currently doing the very gamer activity of cleaning my shower.

So, Louis Theroux podcast is now sponsored by Claude AI, and he claims he uses it creatively in the mid episode segway. What is even happening?

God I hate Armand so much. Horrible little twink with his teeny tiny mouth

I'm following most of you to steal your outfits. Sorry x

You can tell I'm depressed bc I'm watching all the Marvel movies I missed after Endgame and they're mediocre at best.

We need to shout louder about the AI grifters posting retro gaming stuff online. Videos like this weird weird fever dream console setups are swamping feeds, and I'm not even convinced the real footage on the weird CRT isn't just pinched from YouTube.

I have just seen another person argue that they need to use genAI because they have ADHD and it helps their task paralysis and I try to feel love towards those people but at the same time very much shut up you giant baby oh my god

It takes me ten minutes on average to regret interacting with anything on the internet.

Nothing makes me cringe harder than people with a strong Glaswegian accent (that part is fine), saying "bro" (that part is not fine).

Fixing a pink PS2 slim for a friend and uh, this isn't what I wanted to see.

Struggling to shake the fat baw heid boy face lately.

I didn't realise how deteriorated the old pads were, and they accidentally contaminated the new polish I just acquired. I'm now down a rabbit hole trying to source materials for DIY replacement pads. They seem to just be lapping film on some foam, but I'm not entirely sure.

Have you ever danced with the Disc-Go-Devil in the pale moonlight?

Waiting on polishing compound arriving in the post, and trying to see if the pads have any life left in them in the meantime. However, since more people than ever are actively caring about physical games, feels like the perfect time to talk about disc repair machines.

tehe, spiralling, might delete all my social media accounts

Hoping I've got the energy for this tomorrow, but should have something up over the weekend!

Is seeing how the disc repair machine that stores used to fix scratched games in the 2000s something anyone wants to see? If so, let me know.

Reckon I'm going to not cover projects made with even a hint of AI, even though I'd normally angle it with a "this is bullshit" Any press is probably beneficial press, and the volume of stuff now being pumped out makes it look like it's a positive (it isn't).

I often feel invisible in life, and I'm fine with that, but it'd maybe help if I didn't do work that isn't compatible with that.
