Nah, PS3 was just like today. Just their arrogance bit them in the butt.

PS3 was $599USD and was made fun of for that. They had no games and just expected devs to come to them. Like they did with PS2. They didn’t see Xbox as a threat… until they were.

Difference was back then the 360 was competition. So Sony had to come back swinging.

They dropped the price (by loosing PS2 backward compatibility and streamlining the hardware), they paid out the nose for exclusives, from both their first party devs (uncharted, resistance, Infamous, LittleBigPlanet) but also the new and growing market of indi devs (Journey, PixelJunk Monsters, Patchwork Heroes).

It’s why the end of the gen, PS3 matches the sales of Xbox. And why when PS4 came out they moved must of the “greatest hits” over to PS4.

However their attitude remained, not learning from this. It doomed the Vita, and it’s hurting them now. Sony needs real competition, and while it’s there with PC. They don’t see it, just like with Xbox and I don’t they they will see it until it’s too late.

Close Cinnamon, using Mint

You still can. Look for a solid color and zoom in. AI can’t help itself but to use slightly different shades of color than just to use a solid one.

The game was a physics sim designed and a game engine as a platformer. It's wasn't easy to run even on PS3.

Considering I got my deck last week, not surprising

I can’t tell if I am still seeing red because I played the virtual boy too long… or if my eyes are just bleeding. I’ll check after this headache goes away

I vote for the next game, black is sacked because of this. Or we can sacrifice him to the centaurs for it.

I developed a Unity Plugin to utilize this. Was really good to see if another one of your own apps was installed

Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald/Ruby/Leaf Green/Fire Red were my goto especially for grinding. From sound and memorization along you can play pokemon without looking... Or at least I could.

Zelda Oracle of Ages is another game which I found calming. Its more puzzle than combat, but there is still combat. Not goof got meeting but good for afterwards.

The GBC Harry Potter games or Prisoner of Azkaban are fun RPGs that I played before Pokemon. A fun time too, and can almost be played under a desk (don't ask how I know)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, rogue like endless(ish) dungeon crawler. Amazing story, but the post game is just a grind perfect for fiddling as you are just doing the same thing for 99 levels... Until you find the boss. Better on DS with Blue rescue team, but red on GBA is a good choice.

Outside of mega man battle network, the rest of my games are platformers which don't fit the bill

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets.

Are they good games? No

But they are well themed and have chiptune version of Jeremy Soule’s soundtrack. I like replaying the, from time to time.

Using my cells camera. Probably could've put more effort into the shot, but honestly don't want any more eBay and etsy sellers to sell my stuff using my images.

Bad images are my defense against it
