Well since Sony made a model called one, there’s a point in psx for the whole line.

Nah, we’re all actually talking about the PSX.

No one called it psx. It was PlayStation.

I'm in the complete opposite side of this spectrum. I just feel apathy towards people who call the PSX "PS1", even though I am not sure if they're talking about the real PS One or just being ignorant.

over_clox,

The real PS was called the… PS

Where did this 1 and X shit come from?

@vegetvs@kbin.earth avatar

Well, it came from... Sony, their creators!

PSX was the codename for the original model. It was spread even before it was launched. PS One was the PlayStation "Slim".

over_clox,

And the real PS was the one that had the parallel diagnostic port on the back, what’s ya point?

@vegetvs@kbin.earth avatar

That's precisely the PSX.

No shit. When it came out, it was most commonly abbreviated simply as PS.

Guess you weren’t around when the system and the games came out.

No and nope. Guess you weren't around when it came out.

over_clox,

I’m 42 years old and wrote DOS drivers for mice, joysticks, graphics and audio cards for hardware back in the day.

Oh yeah, check my comment history, I literally just dropped a modded port of Tomb Raider 1 for Debian Linux.

I’m old enough to have repaired three different original PlayStations in one night.

Riddle me this… How many screws hold together the optical assembly on an original PlayStation?

Bogusmcfakester,

This smacks of cringe insecurity

Be glad you already had mice then. I'm past 42, by the way. Probably older, if needed be. But 42 I can guarantee.

My DIY days happened a very long time ago, when parts meant capacitors, diodes, resistors and transistors. And the VCS was next gen.

But I can still remember them announcing the PSX in video-game magazines. Feels like yesterday.

As someone who was around when it was current, yes, everyone called it PSX.

Nobody called it the PS1 until the PS2 came along. Sony codenamed it the PSX.

Apparently you weren’t there when the original PlayStation came out. If you’re into nostalgia like that, you’re studying the wrong thing…

Ohh, Lemmy support AI slop now, which the software is own and trained by- check note -mega corporation. That didn’t take long.

ZILtoid1991,

Also there’s a sneaky little “Support your local artist” on the crying wojak.

Artist/gamedev here, and AI slop does nothing but saturate our spaces with worthless garbage. Feel free to remix my content in any way you want. My game engine is also open source, you can either just use it as it is, or even use some of its parts for your own. But if you think AI is somehow good, then please don’t even touch my content, just ask ChatGPT or watever to make you the same thing based on the same idea I had, but AI.

When I first joined lemmy local AI was pretty popular here. Popular opinion has shifted a lot in the anti-ai direction recently, especially after the recent internet-wide outcry after OpenAI announced that model a few weeks ago. Corporate AI was never liked, but there used to usually be popular comments defending local AI.

It’s probably partially because the last notable advancement in local image gen AI was about 8 months ago now IMO (the flux model release). Also, ‘open source’ ai has become progressively less of a thing, with most models (even ones with released weights that you can run locally) released under restrictive licenses, probably turning away the foss-leaning fediverse population.

I think I have personally realized, since then, that the benefits of from-scratch image generation on society as a whole are almost nonexistent and “it’s fun to play with for a few hours” isn’t enough really justification for the potential harm to artists.

psx_crab,

I really don’t have issue with AI, the issue i have is post like these. Real people are getting affect by this AI and losing income due to this, it’s real dick move to mock their anger and frustration.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 6th

I’ve been playing Grounded recently. I’ve been finding it pretty fun, even when played solo. Although some aspects were a bit confusing or felt slightly padded (likely due to playing solo). I have also been wanting to get back into monster hunter wilds so I’ll likely try that again soon. It’s been a lot of fun as well but oooh those menus on menus can get overwhelming.

I’ve been very curious about the switch 2 and the price increases that will likely hit the market. I’m slightly afraid they might try to jack up prices on existing games, so I’m debating if I should snag some now or hold off. I’ve wanted to play some of the xenoblades and the newest Mario party!

I brought my steamdeck to a boys weekend away. We used it to play a few games here and there at 3am as we’re winding down for bed in our Jammies.

The only reason you would want any less than open source is if you are a greedy fuck.
