New ongoing feature! I’m taking a look at PS2 coverage through the 5 magazines I was reading at the time: Next Gen, EGM, OPM, PSM, and GameFan. First up: November 1999, when the PS2 was formally unveiled at TGS:

In my mind, AI, the specific type of LLMs destroying the world, remains one of the worst creations in human history.

“You can’t afford things anymore because of AI” in effect once again. Microsoft is even one of the companies to blame - and it’s hurting their own product.

2026 and I gotta read shit about Bubba Dudley, what are we doing here

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

Tin-foil hat theory: MS bought all these studios with the goal of a) shutting them down eventually and b) hoping idiot Jim Ryan panicked and followed suit knowing they would also have to shut their acquisitions down to maintain their profit/revenue as part of the plan to burn it all down

seriously though I cant stay on that app. what a mental health pitfall. it sucks bc i like interacting w a lot of the ppl on there but ugh! no thanks

the 89 likes on this tweet basically resembled this

Fumito Ueda was disappointed and sad about Bluepoint Games shutdown and hoped to work on another project with them Ueda noted they work on really good remakes, responding back "maybe ICO" when the interviewer suggested the game that BP could have remade www.ign.com/articles/sha...

Tortorella snapping on reporters again feels like old times

was also called performative which like, idk if ppl know what that actually means bc i certainly was not helping out my own notoriety or standing with anyone in the business on any level. I literally pissed off people at the very very top

one good thing to come from the nonsense on twitter today was finding out how gotten to Cr*ssy and M*tt were over my calling out of bad shit. I hardly ever thought about these people but apparently the students had to hear about me on the regular.

he booked a KNOWN and OUTSPOKEN Joey Ryan supporter and everyone sat on their fucking hands and did NOTHING. please please please dont let me see anyone acting surprised

my seats however do not!

this Andrew Painter guy STINKS

you already know but just in case

"at last, the promise has been fulfilled" yeaaaaa I'll just be here crying for the next couple of hours

Final Fantasy VII - Revelation - official title for part 3

Keighley and Kojima broke up, Ueda and Keighley the new power couple

every major sony 1st party game is fucking identical

re: wrestletwitter today, i will tell myself that sometimes the only way to win is to not play the game

awesome another sony 1st party motion sickness simulator from Santa Monica studios 😤

had this squirrel that always chilled on my porch, last 8 years or so. came home from work and they'd always be sitting on the railing and then scurry away. found them squished on the road this morning when I parked the car. rip Lil squirrel buddy. you will be missed!

the sound im hearing is probably Rick Tocchet screaming from South Jersey

"I gave AAW $400 and then decided to not go to the show" is some cool shit to say publicly

25-26 Flyers:

hahahahahaha its funny how accurate this shit was

the phillies are BACK and by BACK I mean bullying loser teams bc that's all they really are capable of

yeah this rollout absolutely sucked and scalpers ate

funny thing is if I hadn't gotten sued by him, I wouldn't have uncovered half of what I found on him. didnt think it could had possibly gotten worse but oh brother

"was never accused of grooming" hard to be accused when the two women who knew kept your filthy secret for fucking YEARS.

and we all know its bc 1) ppl were guilty themselves and/or 2) ppl were entirely 100% complicit

tbh someone should have stepped up physically and beat the brakes off of that fucking guy but here we are

big game by Travis "im tired of missing the playoffs" Konecny

I mean he only played 1 playoff game but still.

night shift is cool bc you dont have to try to sleep after a playoff win like that and then you come home to bask in the glow of every single piece of media

Looking out, from above I'll tell you what I really do love I'll let you know Philadelphia makes me feel home

Also stole another design my wife made and has been selling for years. First image is the woman’s store second my wife’s Etsy. If this was the only design I’d think maybe a coincidence but not with 2 identical designs

First imagine is my wife’s design, she’s been selling it for about 8 years in her Etsy shop. Second image is a new shop on passyunk that my wife walked by yesterday and saw her design in the window. Primitive boutique apparently steals designs and sells it as their own

if ICE isn't allowed to throw a stuffed penguin off the upper deck then neither is Gritty

idc how many cups you win this shit is so embarrassing man

Man I Need is playing in the Flyers locker room

lmao

Flyers beat the Penguins 5-2 in Game 3, and are now up 3-0 in the series. They'll have a chance for the sweep on Saturday. What a night in South Philadelphia. Playoff hockey is back. The Flyers are back.

this is literally the setting for FF7s opening act
