I made a post on @damagecontrolblog wondering how all those PSPs are holding up, assuming you still have one. Hopefully the UMD drive is in better shape compared to one of mine. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2026/01/cognition-dissemination-how-are-those-psps-holding-up/

@silver_huskey I bet you do! You probably got it for a good price, too, considering what it could go for soon.

@silver_huskey Oh, you got it at a good price considering what it's going for *now* then! And it will probably only go higher.

@silver_huskey Replacing the replacement is wild, but here's hoping you guys just got a defective one.

It's incredible and unbelievable that they're bringing back older-generation GPUs because AI data centers are gobbling up the newer ones. AI is sending consumer technology options backward at an astounding rate, despite these still being widely used. https://wccftech.com/nvidia-to-bring-back-geforce-rtx-3060-q1-2026-tackle-memory-shortages/

You know the one.

If those rumors about memory and GPU price increases are true (and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are), a lot of game developers will need to read and study that Sonic meme going forward.

ICYMI I posted the results to my 2025 geek-related predictions for video games and pop culture on @damagecontrolblog. I did better than previous years, at least. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/geek-related-predictions-for-2025-results/

Anyway. Happy New Year, everyone! Let's all try to survive the garbage that will be thrown our way, so we can shove it back at them.

@silver_huskey They never know when to stop!

Some of these guys could run out of fireworks by the time the clock hits midnight here if they keep their current pace up.

I posted the results to my geek entertainment and pop culture-related predictions I made at the start of this year on @damagecontrolblog. Hey, I did better than last year! A little. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/geek-related-predictions-for-2025-results/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why Level-5's CEO was bound to be one of the first game developers to naively champion the "benefits" of generative AI, considering their predicament of frequent delays. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/examples-of-damage-control-in-gaming-level-5-would-use-ai/

@silver_huskey Yeah. The electric transformer outside was malfunctioning, but it was fixed. Everything's been working fine here since. I hope yours is just as easy, but bad luck bouts (so to speak) are rough.
