I guess I'm gonna post mostly from @KommaXL since a lot of friends are on snouts and awoo hasn't federated them yet. Hop on over. :>
Playing Resident Evil HD! twitch.tv/commachameleon Picture unrelated
Dad's having back trouble and I need to stay close to help him out. Depending on how he's doing after a few minutes I will either start the stream then or (as alternative programming) link y'all to a spectator view of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Heyo! Resident Evil stream is delayed for a bit as I figure out food, rehydrate myself, and try to slide my shoulder back into place!

But the real reason is that they make no measurable amount of money off this form of back compat, whereas they can make a bit of money off Virtual Console style repacks of the best sellers, where licensing allows. And that's how the capitalism cookie crumbles but a) I wish they'd just say that, and b) it's a shitty but sadly very normalized stance for a company that has managed to sequester a very significant slice of the history of an artistic medium on their now-abandoned proprietary platform.

The dismissal of platform-level back compat (ie put a PS2 disc into your PS3/PS4 and it Just Works) always leaned hard on murky platform holder anecdata like "people request this more often than they actually use and value it". And it's like, well you never really offered it for reals so you have no idea what the real demand was.

Sony stopped making new PlayStation 2s in 2012, and in a few days the last vestige of support will end: https://www.usgamer.net/articles/ps2-is-finally-dead-18-years-after-release
Given that it's the best selling console of all time and its catalog is extremely significant, it deserves a better preservation effort than it's gotten. I wish PCSX2 were as far along and robust as Dolphin. I wish Sony had bothered with a 100% software back-compat solution for PS3/PS4, and that people in the industry hadn't been so dismissive of that.
I made an important realization, which is that the creator of Monty Mole later served as a lead programmer on Snake Pass and Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed
Can we make Monty part of Sonic canon

Gex's lush purple eyelids don't get enough notice
I saw this magazine cover at the antique mall and something about it just feels big and moody. Just, like, world-shattering exhaustion.
Witcher 3 feelings
So I'm several hours in (picking up from a save at about 5 hours) and I'm already finding myself paying more attention to this little devil on my shoulder than the game world itself.
Open big map, set marker, look on small map, aim, run/horse to objective, complete interaction (combat/conversation/tracking/merchant), repeat.
The curse of video games.
I'm playing Witcher 3 and this cat just opened a big wooden door. Good game
I cannot believe that a "fresh start" Windows 10 using the system recovery tool has Candy Crush Saga and Hidden City: Hidden Object Adventure pre-installed
Star Ocean: Til the End of Time spoilers
@Felthry In SO3 the protagonists discover that their world is a simulation; an MMO played by higher dimensional beings called the Eternal Sphere. They have to fight to stop the metaphorical server from shutting down and freezing the universe in place
I love VOOT (joke)

I can't install my graphics card drivers so I guess I'm gonna do a Windows 10 fresh start. What should I know before I do this?
I have never understood how Smashing Pumpkins ends up on 60s-80s classic rock stations. Like Metallica is more classic rock than they were
Nvidia is trying to sell gamers on the power of real-time ray tracing, but there's only one ray I need to trace in MY video games
