Be glad you already had mice then. I'm past 42, by the way. Probably older, if needed be. But 42 I can guarantee.

My DIY days happened a very long time ago, when parts meant capacitors, diodes, resistors and transistors. And the VCS was next gen.

But I can still remember them announcing the PSX in video-game magazines. Feels like yesterday.

My thoughts exactly. I believe most services that enable sharing this kind of media should default to having content expiring after a sensible TTL. I'm pretty positive that alone would save us from 80% of such useless data.

Absolutely, don't even get me started on that. Or when you're reading a light-themed web app and all of a sudden there's a dark-themed screenshot of some random text in the middle. So annoying!

Obviously. Think of all crap being shared on social media these days. People don't even share texts anymore, they take a much more expensive, less readable screenshot and send over.

No and nope. Guess you weren't around when it came out.

That's precisely the PSX.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. They can swallow cat poop, marbles, nails... but not game cartridges! /s

Well, it came from... Sony, their creators!

PSX was the codename for the original model. It was spread even before it was launched. PS One was the PlayStation "Slim".

I'm in the complete opposite side of this spectrum. I just feel apathy towards people who call the PSX "PS1", even though I am not sure if they're talking about the real PS One or just being ignorant.

Who the f*ck puts electronics in their mouth?!

PS: yes, it was a rhetorical question.

After Brexit, I'm not so sure the problem is who can Britain trust, but rather who can trust Britain.
