Loco Roco 1 & 2 and
LEGO StarWars II The Original Trilogy were my all time favorites on the PSP ❤️ They felt like such a huge leap over the games I played on the GameBoy Advance SP at the time.

These were my first two home consoles. It doesn’t feel that long ago 🤔 I still can’t forget that the PS3 regularly asked me to update the OS in the middle of a game, especially those X-button smashing games that made that a very unpleasant experience.

I regret that I was introduced to this character through the RE2 movie and not the original video game. I can’t think of a worse spoiler of a great video game villain.

Saw this video, noticed it’s RetroBlast, hit subscribe, realized I already subscribed and that made it unsubscribed, now subscribed again. All good now

If our math professor used memes like this I would have remembered those terms a lot faster 🙂

I love the VMU concept. Not my favorite shape but surely innovative especially with its Hall effect joystick. Looking at you Switch 👀

You’re not alone with that feeling. Perhaps that’s why I’m playing a lot of retro games lately, both those I played as a kid and those I’m trying to catch up to from that period.

Dangerous for people with red-green weakness. At least the fourth color sticks out but the rest is a bit tough for me.

My partner and I just beat the game. You guys have an amazingly talented team of artists and tech wizards. Super creative levels that were such a joy to play in co-op all the way from start to finish!

Wild guess, but I assume the main culprit of poor battery life was the backlit alone. This handheld seems to use a high voltage light element and even has hazard warnings on the inside! I haven’t found the time to repair mine yet.

Took me long enough, too. And I learned about the inverted map from a coworker.

I agree it was great for education. Almost no boilerplate code, especially compared to Vulkan.

Are we talking pre-glClipControl()-era OpenGL or even fixed function like in the good ol’ days? :->

Sorry to see you leave and wish I had a chance to collaborate with you. Also all the best for your future endeavors!

Awesome writeup! This would make a great blogpost or article.

Ahhh when games came with hardware extensions <3

Interestingly, it will compile and run just “fine”. I wonder what happens when Gen AI starts writing its own unit tests. Will the assumptions be just as wrong or will it realize its mistake and eventually give up, or run in a loop of correcting itself to another wrong answer?

My first home console <3 And it still is great because Nintendo was innovating and trying something drastically new.
