While uncommon, there were a few officially released games that ran in 1080i, too. Gran Turismo 4 is one of them.

What the actual fuck are Bluesky's attempts at audio leveling, what is any of that crap at the beginning that isn't heard on any other platform I posted this to

Normally I always use OPL/SMB on my PS2 just to not wear out the drive laser, but I couldn't be bothered to get it working last night, which lead to me discovering this weird anomaly where my PS2 now apparently keeps violently crashing the OPU by the inner ring when shutting down, what

Up to 85% somehow

The back of the Asian Xbox release of The Sims 2 full of what appears to be holes from disc rot

Tracked down an undumped and somewhat hard to come by release of a game and it's swiss cheese 😬

Split/Second's FMOD Sound Bank song names as they appeared before the update on the left, all of which are identical, and after the update on the right, where they can be much more easily distinguished which track a certain song by having an incremental value in the full name.

All of the FEV data now implemented and parsed in vgmstream.

I wanted Split/Second's FSB music to have comprehensible filenames, which lead to me accidentally reimplementing almost the entire FMOD Event (FEV) system in vgmstream, whoops. You're welcome.

Internet Archive items of the show V gostyah u Tofika with scans of the discs as the cover.

In the 90s there was a Latvian-Russian kids TV show I grew up with titled В гостях у Тофика (Visiting Tofik), which only aired in Russian. In the 2000s it had DVD releases which also had exclusive Baltic voiceovers. So I've dumped and uploaded them to Archive. (Also just higher quality than YT)

What the fuck, I didn't know Frank Grimes was referenced in this game, and by Willie of all people???

I keep seeing people post firmware keys for newer Sony PlayStation systems or whatever, but does anyone happen to have the RSA private exponent SCEE London Studio used to sign their SingStore DLC with the modulus 0xDD3CFCF8..D9425983 and public exponent 0x10001 to give out too 🥺👉👈

To clarify, my actual temp was 39.6°C, that image was just me taking it out too early. However over the past month or so I have been dealing with my temperature being notably below my norm of 36.6°C (usually in the 35°C range, lowest recorded yet being 34.9°C) which I have been seeing a doctor about

A thermometer which (erroneously) displays 41,0°C because I took it out too to early. The actual temperature reading (not shown) is 39,6°C.

Happy fancy tree day i feel like deth

Over a year later, I've finally released an update to my SCEE London Studios PS3 PACKAGE tool, adding support for extracting SingStar's SingStore DLC, which are DRM protected using your PS3's unique Open PSID.
I've also open sourced it with this, which many have asked for!

I don't like the fact that I am now closer to 30 than I am to 20.

The backs of two CD cases of the Italian "Compilation GameStop" series made in collaboration with Electronic Arts.

I always forget that GameStop also had an (admittedly pretty small) presence in Europe as well, I pretty much only ever saw it as an exclusively American brand.

(FWIW, _O_WTEXT or even _O_U8TEXT also appear to fix wprintf, and same for applying it to stderr)
Now, there is WriteConsoleW for Windows which does still properly line-buffer its output after changing the stdout mode, but that is such a braindead way to print anything which I will not use.

Of the many solutions I've seen online to make wprintf properly print chars outside of the local codepage on Windows C programs, only _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT) seems to work.
But what no one brings up afterward is that wprintf becomes line unbuffered, and there's just no way to fix that?

Why does Google Photos have no proper way to manage and mass-delete uploads? After I stopped using my Note9, it resumed syncing all my images (since it was now on Wi-Fi for the first time in eons) which I had disabled when Google took away unlimited storage in 2021.

Does it count if it's a page mostly written by me?
Either way, it's gotta be the Burnout Dominator PS2 page. In some ways borderline depressing reading through this page again, just imagining what this game could've been but never was as a their last PS2 swan song title...

What did my phone case mean by this?

A 1TB Samsung EVO Plus SD card

A System Volume Information folder that is typically created by Windows

The contents of IndexerVolumeGuid and WPSettings.dat

Bought a new SD card for my phone, and it came with a Windows System Volume Information directory from July 8, 2024. Thanks, Samsung! (and Microsoft, I guess...)

Finally, someone else who also isn't a fan of the color correction from that fanmade 4K Definitive Edition. I get that it was attempting to much more accurately represent the colors as they would've been on the original animation cels, but they just look too jarring and I always disliked that aspect

The camera in this thing really is quite dope (last two images are at 10x zoom)

Probably not, but there is a new Simpsons Movie coming, and TSG1 was originally meant to be released alongside the 1st movie as a tie-in

Just gotta hold out a little while longer for the new and better Simpsons tie-in game with the 2nd Simpsons Movie in 2027 🙏

Guess the Note9 has finally decided it's had enough of me, the case has slightly pried itself apart from the battery. So per a friend's suggestion, I got a Sony Xperia 1V, surprisingly a modern phone without a notch and a headphone jack. Kinda surprised I hadn't heard of these before.
