Sure, and I loved my PSP, but remember how Sony tried to sell us movies on disks made just for PSPs?
We were free because the companies sucked at making things terrible, not due to lack of trying.
I watched movies go from VHS, to DVDs , and Sony was at the forefront of all the media changes. So I was sold on the umd format.
I remember being so jealous at my one friend who owned like The Matrix on umd.
Broke the OLED screen on my cheapish Motorola. Got a cheap TFT replacement for now. Now my phone is heavy. Not quite Walkman heavy but close.
The “Funny old times” title really reminds me of those boomer bot run facebook groups. The bots are now targeting a younger group.
Both
This is why cargo pants were so popular in that decade.
They're not popular anymore?
Right? Where does OP keep his iPad and laptop?
Wearing a pair right now
Pants in August? You must be below the equator
Below the equator is the only place I’ve ever worn pants 🥁
Cargo shorts for me (it's 96°F right now)
Well, it gets warm in August, but not so warm that I won't put on underwear.
How many cargo pockets do you have in your underwear? Lol
They got some popularity in recent years, but I think it's fading again.
Soon enough we'll be far enough along to go back to the future of Back to the Future 2.
Won't be the last time. Once forced Android verification lands, you're gonna see a lot of fediverse and darkweb peeps only accessing this side of the web from laptops and second devices, until Firefox and Linux go to shit on PC and we lose any and all privacy everywhere.
~5-10 years-ish?
as a PSP user the PSP is the coolest looking device with the most shitass graphics and games
it's idolized so much in retrospect but honestly the DS was more iconic
Hmmm I feel both of them are pretty evenly matched. Both have a wealth of great and beautiful games, both have a nice design. I do think the DS is more iconic in the strictest sense. It has the zeitgeist of the gameboy behind it and has been in production longer in some form or another.
I'm sorry but the PSP had a lot of great games. Jeanne D'Arc, Daxter, The Wipeout series, God of War, Metal Gear Peacwalker, Final Fantasy Tactics, loco roco, Crisis Core, Ys Seven, Mega Man Powered Up, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Gran Turismo, Monster Hunter, etc.
All mid except for crisis core
I mostly played GBA through emulation and PS1
and I had a jailbroken PSP and tried dozens of top rated games
Yay, love for Ys Seven!!!
I still replay the god of war ones occasionally, great games
with the most shitass graphics and games
Man what, the PSP was the most advanced handheld of its time. The DS had a worse screen and was much weaker but got away with it because games were really simple visually. PSP games look great.
PSP graphics are pretty good tho, DS is a lot crunchier on that front.
My homebrewed PSP was my laptop before I had a laptop. It was an amazingly versatile device considering it's era!
And when I got my iPhone 3G in 2008, I was so fucking happy I could just have the one thing in my pocket.
True, but it hasn't really innovated much. There's the foldable screen, but it mostly just looks the same.
We solved this by simply not bringing a camera everywhere. Or, if you followed my clothing style, by just having absolutely massive pockets..
I don't think I've ever had a camera aNd gaming handheld in my pockets at the same time.
I prefer the nano design with the shorter screen, this one throws off the balance of the device somehow
I used to travel with a netbook, a UMTS modem, a camera, a satnav (when traveling by car), an MP3 player, speakers for the player plus, of course, a separate charger for each device and a bunch of cables. I felt so cool and modern.
Edit: and my phone, of course. Like, you could make phone calls with it.
... souls were free
maybe less captured.
Yep. Nothing free (as in non-proprietary) about a PSP.
Proprietary souls.
