Time to revisit Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I had to replace the CMOS battery in my PS2 so the system time was correct, so I got to get some repair time in before starting a new game. This is my original copy of the game, on my original PlayStation 2 so this play through will be extra special!

Oh this explains a lot. Without giving too much away, the area where you meet the third party member looks very different on 576.02 (left) vs a screenshot I found of the same area (right). Big mood on the left though.

@residentevil.capcomusa.com isn't posting here yet, but Resident Evil 2 for iPhone, iPad, and Mac launches today!

It's 75% off ($10 USD) and one purchase is good for all of the above platforms. Your progress even syncs between your devices via iCloud, it's a fantastic way to revisit this game!

15 years at Apple today. I won’t dwell on it for too long, so here’s a photo of a much younger me the first time I went to Infinite Loop.

Death Stranding via Mac Virtual Display on the Moon in Apple Vision Pro is absolutely stunning. The future is here.

The DS2 Qpid gives me the impression of an Odradek when laid down.

New Qpids are here. Time to upgrade. 👍

I imported a Sony KV-16GW1 from Yahoo Auctions Japan. Finally, I can play Goldeneye in 16:9.
