Granted, #USB's #Security is basically "nonexistant", with only #Thunderbolt & #USB4 being more insecure by design ...

- But that's because the #developers of USB didn't have #BadUSB - devices and -attacks in scope of their development when it came to merely replacing #RS232, #IEEE1284, #PS2 and #Gameport as well as #SCSI with sth. cheaper & faster.

En otras noticias, **¿qué juegos me recomiendan de PS2?** He descargado Silent Hill 3 (ando retomando la saga) y mientras tanto deseo conocer joyitas para seguir aprovechando la belleza de esta consola (emulada).

May I present a project I am starting for the #PS2?

Back to to the topic of #PS2 games, I've been playing Dark Cloud lately.

The game has some pretty cool and fun ideas, like the weapon building and the city building. I also think that the concept of "back dungeons" is kind of nice (even though the execution is a bit lacking).

I remembered that the random dungeons were a bit repetitive but I completely forgot how grindy the game feels.

Every god damn dungeon:

  • Here's a new character!
  • You'll have to use it in the dungeon boss
  • It comes with the base stats, so you need to drink water ever five minutes
  • You only have the weak base weapon that keeps breaking
  • The shops don't sell weapons for that character yet

So you really have no choice but to grind that character and keep leaving the dungeon to buy water and repair items.

And, as if that wasn't enough, there are basically 3 types of special levels:

  • You can only use the new character
  • You get thirsty faster
  • You lose experience when you fight

WHY??? 😭

The #PS4 #Cloud Monday game i checked out is the emulated #PS2 game Gitaroo Man. rhythm games are going to be tough to play in the cloud, whilst it has a good tutorial, the delay in controls, stuttering, and stream tears, made this almost unplayable.

Mi è tornata in mente una cosa: Ma vi ricordate ancora quando i giochi della #PS2 nella copertina avevano lo slot per la memory card?

For fuck sake, CAN WE KEEP AI OUT OF CRITICAL SDKS FOR CONSOLEDEV?!

https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2sdk

ps2sdk and other ps2dev repos use Claude, all committed by the same user it seems. I might fork this to my Codeberg without the AI bullshit.

If I do fork it to my Codeberg and if there is demand for all of them, I'll make an org for PS2 homebrew and clone all of the repos there without AI commits.

Time for another anti-AI fork project?

Today we fire up the holy grail of #Playstation. It is the first edition PS3, capable of playing #PS1, #PS2 and #PS3 games.
The PS2 compatibility is achieved with special hardware that was omitted in later versions.
You can spot it from the 4 USB sockets and the CF, SD card slots.

Debe ser un signo de nuestros tiempos, o al menos de nuestra generación, echar la mirada atrás sobre las cosas que nos gustaban y nos hacían ilusión hace años. He recuperado la #PS2 y que consola más buena es (tiene chip y le he pillado cables nuevos para vídeo por componentes y audio digital).

¿Es posible que el gaming tocó techo con ella? Incluso con el tiempo la hicieron más pequeña y más barata como mi modelo slim. No niego que los gráficos actuales son, en muchos casos, espectaculares pero ¿compensa? A cambio tenemos juegos sin terminar, micro transacciones y online con toxicidad.

Por mi parte voy a intentar jugar a los juegos que no me dio tiempo en su época, que no son pocos.

The loot from yesterday's thrift store tour was OK.
I never heard of Maxxed Out Racing before.
It has a '69 Camaro on the cover, so can't be that bad, right?...right?
