Trump already announced he is running in 2024. And so is Biden. Unfortunately, this is the absurd situation we are in. Out of all the 300M+ people in this country, we are going to have a choice between these same two fucking guys AGAIN.

I had hoped at least the GOP candidate would be someone other than Trump, but it seems unlikely.

For anyone who isn't familiar, RBG was a liberal Supreme Court justice that was getting very old, and a lot of people thought she should have retired during Obama's term, where she could have been replaced by him. Some accuse her of stubbornness/hubris for not stepping down when it was "safe", and point out that her whole legacy is now being undone.

Others point out that common wisdom at the time was that Hillary was going to he a shoe in as the next president, and nobody expected a Republican to win, including RBG.

Anyway, I'm not taking a stance but just fleshing that out for anyone who is interested in the controversy.

Oh man that is so generous of you! I wish I had seen this earlier, but I already bought one locally off of Facebook marketplace. Donating it is a great idea though, especially if you can find some charity that works with kids. Rock on.

~~and piracy~~

You mean all the backups that I have of PS3 games from the console I never had? ;)

My man.

Thank you! I hadn't thought about the pads; I'll be sure to do those too.

Worse--I think it belonged to a teenager.

Meanwhile, Nintendo be like "we are pleased with the Switch and have no plans" lol

All the basics still work with the online service, though you have to go through some extra steps to buy games on the PS3 store now.

Wow, that's awesome. I'm so used to Nintendo's BS shutting down their last gen online stores, it's amazing that Sony is still supporting a store from 2 generations ago, extra steps or not.

I do own a PC, I don't know if it qualifies as good or not. It has integrated AMD graphics, but it's actually a pretty good little card (Ryzen 5 5600G). I'll see how it runs the emulator. 🤞

None of the games I want to play are on the PS+ classics collection, which is so strange. I don't understand why they wouldn't put Killzone on PS+ for example.

Good point, I didn't think about the degraded performance aspect. I guess if I did get one, I should look for one of the later revisions.
