HeyJoe

I will say it would be the first time I would like to be on a jury, and I would try my hardest to not seem biased. Sadly, from the ones I had to try for over the years it may be very obvious where I fall since I have always been dismissed almost immediately after being selected lol.

It's not even a new thing. Here is what happened to the Captain of the USS Indianapolis after successfully delivering, in secret, the bombs that were used to end WW2. On the way home they were attacked by a Japanese sub and the ship sank.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Indianapolis_(CA-35)

Captain Charles B. McVay III, who had commanded Indianapolis since November 1944 through several battles, survived the sinking, though he was one of the last to abandon ship, and was among those rescued days later. In November 1945, he was court-martialed on two charges: failing to order his men to abandon ship and hazarding the ship. Cleared of the charge of failing to order abandon ship, McVay was convicted of "hazarding his ship by failing to zigzag". Several aspects of the court-martial were controversial. There was evidence that the Navy itself had placed the ship in harm's way. McVay's orders were to "zigzag at his discretion, weather permitting"; however, McVay was not informed that a Japanese submarine was operating in the vicinity of his route from Guam to Leyte. Further, Commander Mochitsura Hashimoto, commanding officer of I-58, wrote in his testimony to Senator John Warner, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, that zigzagging would have made no difference.[38] Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz remitted McVay's sentence and restored him to active duty. McVay retired in 1949 as a rear admiral.[39]

While many of Indianapolis's survivors said McVay was not to blame for the sinking, the families of some of the men who died thought otherwise: "Merry Christmas! Our family's holiday would be a lot merrier if you hadn't killed my son", read one piece of mail.[40] The guilt that was placed on his shoulders mounted until he killed himself in 1968, aged 70.[41]

If this was a few years ago, I would have said PS5. Sadly with the bad decision making of the company it's hard to tell how they will be doing in a year from now. Because of that I say PC. I have both which started with me wanting a new pc and ps5 when ps5 first came out. At the time PC parts to build one were through the roof due to shortages and high prices for GPUs. I ended up getting the ps5 which was cheaper then than it is now. It was amazing and I like simplicity where it just plays games as easy as possible. These days with the price increase and uncertainty along with pc parts exceeding the power of the ps5 its harder to say ps5 anymore. I still love it, but I am very skeptical of the ps6 which would be the first system i may not buy since the ps1. Yeah I am old.

Ending its life cycle is not the same as end of life though. Were 6 years into ps5 life and the ps4 was just surpassed in more online people by the ps5 in June 2025. I have a feeling you will have little issue with it being abandoned anytime soon, let alone 2 or even 3 years from now.

But it's not possible to do this joke since ipv6 does not have subnets.

Not sure how true it is but the rumor (maybe fact?) Is that Baron Trump got to be friends with them at some point over the past few years. They think they knew what they were doing keeping him close for this exact reason. Pretty sure theres other things they did together but idk enough to comment.

I can still buy my digital games from multiple sources that I choose on PC. I can only buy PS5 digital games from 1 source only. It is not nearly the same at all. If i want to actually own my PC game then I can still buy it from GOG and maybe other places i dont even know of. PS5 will not. It will never be the same if I only have 1 option to buy from.

I guess the ps2/xbox era along with the handhelds like the DS and PSP included. There was just an unreal amount of games being made for everything and games still took chances. I think getting my PSP when it launched was peak excitedness for gaming because of how new and cool it all felt. I still have my original PSP, the only thing I lost was the charger but picked up a 3rd party gamestop branded knockoff that works perfectly fine.

Now we can just play the best looking games on mobile and not even think twice about how incredible that is, except they created such a shit genre with rules that almost every mobile game follows that killed any chance of them being any good. Also steamdeck is crazy impressive as well, but it is pretty big compared to any old school handheld.

I am pretty sure all of these points apply to most systems prior to this as well, especially boot fast. It was just one of the last to offer it, although I personally think the ps4 and original switch check off the boxes as well, but it was the start of having some physical media be made by the end of its liefcycle.

Remember when reputable brand names cared about hurting their name and image by not doing certain things so they could be held to a higher standard leaving your expectations high that you will get a higher end product?

He is only 55! Thats a rough 55 for having all the money in the world. I don't mean go get plastic surgery, but you would think he would be able to take better care of himself. Man, imagine what he would look like if he was never rich? For starters no hair.

Good job cancelling one of the few great marvel shows to come out recently... there was nothing wrong with it, very entertaining, and a breath of fresh air. I am at least glad it ended in a way that the season is still worth watching as a stand alone I guess. Im assuming a lot of shows do this now since they have no idea if they will ever get that 2nd season.
