I think it’s an RTS, I haven’t had the chance to find out! :(

I’ve packed it all away again until I have time and energy to try fixing it

Well I was thinking it’s more like 5 years old so \_(*.*)_/

Sometimes, and I regret it every time. You’d think I’d have learned by now…

I was actually thinking about buying an Xbox One for Halo Wars 2. Surely it’s not 15 years old yet?? I still think of it as the new Xbox since I own a 360…

Only two weeks and the days will start getting longer again at least…

You guys had snow at all?

I’ve got a multimeter but no experience with PS1 PCBs. When I’ve got some more time to dedicate to it, I’ll have a more thorough look I hope

I’ll have you know that PS1 outputs to a TV aerial! Even new TVs have that connection still!

Nah, it’s not the same. There’s something more visceral and real about playing with the original hardware and controller, for me anyway

I prefer the real thing to an emulator, for PlayStation at least. I did try an emulator years ago but it’s not as good.

Power supply fuse is good, but I didn’t disassemble far enough to see the motherboard. Hopefully it will be as easy as replacing that fuse! Thanks for the tip

I do have both of those things but I don’t feel I have the expertise. Maybe I’ll give it a go in a few days.

It makes a high-pitched whine when plugged in, I also wondered if that could be a capacitor making the noise. Or maybe the coil right near the incoming power supply, I could imagine that making such a notice as well

I’ll have to check about the backwards compatibility, I’m sure a newer device would be easier to buy. I did have a PS2 once but I must have sold it… Maybe it went towards a Wii?

I ran an emulator on my laptop a few years ago but it’s just not the same. Thanks for the suggestion though! I do play some Pokémon Blue, Crystal and Emerald on an emulator from time to time

Yep, we bought it second-hand probably more than 20 years ago. It had a good run

Why should I know that? Who cares about where this dipshit lives

That’s powerful writing, thank you

Cardboard game pieces being placed upside-down. When I’ve brought this up to other people, they’ve said they can’t even tell there’s a difference! You can both see and feel that one side has a rounded edge and one side has a flat edge. Usually the top has a slightly better print quality than the bottom as well. Sometimes I feel like people just float around without gathering any sensory data at all!

Just lookin at a pigeon

That sucks, I hope your medication helps you find some peace

This is kinda misleading, the complaint is that cars are too expensive. They’re not saying cars should be less safe, just that the extra safety isn’t worth the financial cost.

(Still not a good position to take in my opinion)
