Far be it from me to point anyone back over to Reddit for anything, but the /r/roms sub has a pretty good breakdown of where one might locate files and images for any given system. While you're at it, you might want to check out /r/datahoarder for recommendations on a NAS or good storage unit, to keep those files safe.
There were a few PSP and Vita gems that haven't been ported over to other platforms or upgraded to newer Sony systems, but with P4Golden liberated from the shackles of Vita-exclusivity and Atlus promising to look at porting more of their games to the PC, it's becoming less and less of an issue.
Long past time for action on Twitter, Facebook, and Google. They all need to have their safe haven status removed, because every single one of them have shown that they're editorializing content. Open those bastards up to the slew of lawsuits that they should be liable for, and the market will correct itself as they hemorrhage money in legal fees.
Not for nothing, but if they had six kids already and he was the primary breadwinner for their asses, then at age 37 they should have had a multi-million-dollar term life insurance policy on his ass, in addition to a whole life policy to back it up.
Then I read the rest of the story and I got to the picture of her family, from back before her husband unceremoniously bought the farm. "HOL UP", my mind screamed - only 1/3 of those 6 kids look like they're white. So I checked her blog. Two births were hers, the other four were adoptions from other countries. Her and her husband were literally collecting kids like Angelina Jolie. On top of that, she knew she was high-risk for pregnancy, and they weren't taking steps to prevent that from happening.
She had the nerve in her article to say "I didn't prepare for my husband to die." Bitch, nobody asks for their spouse to be killed in an accident, but you can't go through life thinking you or your spouse's ass is going to live forever. Hell, a bad blood clot could take out any one of us in the next five minutes. You and your husband's failure to prepare for the future, while taking on the responsibility for four lives that weren't even ones you produced is at best irresponsible and at worst just downright ignorant.
I'm not trying to blame the victim here. It sucks to lose a loved one and deal with the uncertainty of the future. But there were steps they could have taken to mitigate it before it happened, and coming back after the fact to whine about abortion rights now that she wants one to keep her from getting killed by the pregnancy is just mind boggling.
Top. Fukkin. Kek. If these morons had been told "no" and forced to face the consequences of their actions at any point previous in their life then maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't find themselves going ass-over-teakettle when someone who has finally had enough of their shit steps up to the plate.
Shit like that is why I love hard sci-fi and absolutely hate it when people treat bubblegum sci-fi concepts as something that could be done in real life. They don't seem to get the notion that however long it takes you to get up to cruising speed, it'll take you exactly that long to slow back down. There's a reason why the ships in The Expanse flip at midpoint in a flight and why the Starfury fighters in Babylon 5 can shift and skate in combat, and these mouth breathers don't seem to get why.
As a dude with a scientific background (I was originally going for a biology degree before I burned out on counting fruit flies in my Genetics class in college and made a hard pivot to IT), nothing infuriates me more than the Soy version of "science". It's made even worse by the circle-jerk reporting style of the "experts", where one reports something as fact, some other site reports on the first site, another site reports on that one, and it ends up as a stack of lies and false citations, until a site with clout, like Wikipedia, records it all as "fact", and now there's a new official site to point to. It's maddening.
Something, something, MeowMeowBeenz.
Yeah, like there's no way this won't be abused.
Further pre-game for the shitshow that is coming on November 3rd. They'll try to steal the election with the mail-in ballots that "mysteriously" show up after the day of, and if that doesn't work then they'll try to steal it in the courts by challenging the counts, and if that doesn't work then they'll try to get Trump declared non compos mentis or unfit to serve for other reasons.
Or, on the flip side if it's clearly a landslide in their favor, they're gearing up to boot Sleepy Joe from office within a couple weeks of him taking the oath, so they can get Harris in there and start completely wrecking the union.
Jake 2.0 did it before Chuck.
Oh, crap. Got my "geeky dude gets super-abilities accidentally grafted onto him" shows from the '00s flipped around. I totally meant Jake 2.0, but my head mashed together that, Chuck, and Covert Affairs (which also had Christopher Gorham in it, but not as the lead). Thanks for catching that.
Imagine buying an AR for home defense and you can't use it because the fucking commies made this a law:
Not being familiar with the laws of our commie brethren in the west, at first I was like "WTF am I looking at here? What the hell is that thing behind the grip?", and then I looked it up. I had no idea that those idiots had banned pistol grips on ARs, much less restricted mags to 10 rounds. It's shit like that which makes me glad I live in a flyover state.
That's exactly where my mind went when I heard about the character. Have it set up so that the uncle/father/whoever the hell was working on an experimental nanite cloud designed to maintain always-on Internet connectivity and enhance the human body in the process. Nanites infect the kid before they're ready for prime time, he gets super powers, and you get Chuck 2.0 in comic book form. I mean, hell, the unoriginal fucks rip off every other idea under the sun, so why not go for broke and go with one of the oldest sci-fi tropes in existence?
They sound like they never grew up.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head right there. A good majority of Millennials weren't raised with proper parenting techniques and are basically arrested development cases. Their parents wanted to be their kid's friend instead of being a role model and disciplinarian. The kids were coddled by their helicopter parents, and the parents made it so they didn't have to face any sort of adversity or failure. Sports or other group events? Nobody keeps score, everyone gets a participation ribbon. Kid got a bad score on a test at school? Parent goes to the principal and bitches about the teacher's techniques. The kids didn't have to deal with feelings of loss or failure, or to have to learn about fair play and personal achievement. Nobody drove them to excel or improve based on their merits, and I believe that this contributed to their abhorrence of a merit-based society. They were given head-pats and cookies for just existing, so why shouldn't society do the same for them now?
Though what "free thinking" do they have when they all follow the same cult and are in to censoring and banning free speech and art now a days?
Yeah, "free thinking" has always pretty much lent itself to being counter-culture, and back in the '60s and '70s that typically that meant standing up to authoritarian rule - which, to be honest, was pretty bad back then. The problem now is that the "free thinkers" of today have become the exact thing they rallied against 50-odd years ago. They, themselves, have turned into authoritarian types that are trying to impose their will upon the populace, with tactics involving racism (disguised as "diversity"), fascism (disguised as anti-fascism), and attempts to push their control over the way people think and speak through both coercion and force. It's like they read Orwell's 1984 and took it as an instruction manual instead of a cautionary tale.
Considering Disney owns two out of the three of those properties, I'm not surprised they're trying to hitch their wagon to the money train that was Fortnite. Now I'm just waiting to see what the fallout is from Epic's hubris, seeing as how they've now lost every last one of their iOS-device-based players.
Slow accumulation over time, that eventually hit a breaking point. Back in the early '00s Portland gained a reputation for being a Mecca for Liberals and free-spirit types, similar to the way San Francisco and Berkeley were back in the '60s and '70s. Since like attracts like when it comes to idealogues and unstable people, they gained more and more far-left thinkers and believers in crazy theories. Portland further gained a penchant for being "weird", with people doing oddball things on the streets just because they could. Go look up a video of The Unipiper - a guy in a Darth Vader helmet and kilt playing a flaming bagpipe while riding a unicycle - as an example. The reputation was fostered and maintained by the socialist denizens of the city, to the point of counter-culture vultures in the city starting campaigns to "Keep Portland Weird" when the normies wanted to clamp down on some of the rampant oddity.
We all know that trying to maintain a socialist city is an unattainable goal. You can only have so many unemployed rainbow-haired street freaks wandering aimlessly through the day, sucking off the system, for so long. Eventually the place hit critical mass and full-on Marxist ideology started running through the leftist populace, and you end up with the shit-show we have today. If I was a normal person who was living in Portland, I'd sure as hell be sizing up my options for getting the fuck out of the city.
Man, I could have eaten a bag of Scrabble tiles and shit out a better origin story than that. Whatever EIC at Marvel greenlit that garbage needed fired along with the writer.
shame on me for putting American Civil Rights and Justice

Read: Both of which make Cuban more money in the long run because they're working for him.
Cuban is just as much of a self-serving prick as Cruz is, but at least Cruz has the conviction to say it out loud.
The New Warriors Wokeness Reboot got delayed, and then quietly canceled as they realized that trying to take back terms such as "Snowflake" and "Safe Space", while making all the characters SJW caricatures, would be an utter and complete failure.
I halfway wish they would have gone through with it, if only so we could see how fast the sales numbers on the book cratered and the book died. I bet it would have left a nice, Wile E. Coyote-style outline in the ground where it hit the bottom of the canyon.
That's the sad part - to them it's never enough, and it never will be. Never mind the fact that nobody who is alive today in the US was a slave owner, and nobody who is alive today was ever a slave. Critical Race Theory tells them one thing: "give us money and power, you bigot", and they expect us to make that happen.
Y'know, I used to not give two shits about someone's sexuality. My take on it was live-and-let-live, we're all brothers and sisters on this planet, and we all just need to get along in the name of peace and harmony. I didn't give a damn if Neil and Bob railed each other up the ass nightly and twice on Sundays, or if Pete from next door liked to prance around in a dress and pantyhose in the privacy of his own living room, or if Sue and Karen have a long-time safe word with each other and wear shibari bondage ropes to work every day. What went on behind closed doors or under their clothes was their business.
Obviously, I don't think that way as much anymore. When the extreme deviants among them started dragging it out into the street and acting like it was the norm for everyone to run around in bondage gear or drag and "screw you for judging them", when they started brainwashing kids and grooming them to think that being molested was normal, when they started telling young teens that their feelings of being unsure about their sexuality was because they were really trans, when they started shoehorning in LGBTOMGWTFBBQ characters into every bit of media under the sun and fuck your opinion that the character is shallow and poorly-written because you're a bigot - that's when I lost my cool.
I know there are plenty of gay/lesbian people out there that hate the above just as much as I do. Them, I have no problem with. Them, I'm more than willing to hang out with, have a beer with, invite them over to my cookout or game night, and generally be friends with. All the rest of them, including their "allies", that think first of activism and nothing else besides that - them I have a problem with, and they can take a flying leap.
Honk fucking honk. If they're identifying as a man, then why the hell are they still banging dudes? Oh, wait, they're probably trans-gay (AKA "Straight with extra steps"). I'm sorry, but if you're a warehouse worker in a fulfillment facility, your job duties are probably going to include shit that a pregnant woman shouldn't be doing. Now, granted, I will allow that the plaintiff provided proof that they should be on light duty, and the management wouldn't do it, but the fact still remains that as a MAN, they shouldn't BE pregnant. People can scream "Trans Rights" at me all they want, but science is science and biological fact is biological fact.
At least the governor has a sane head on his shoulders, but how long before the Dems start using that as a screeching point to call for his head in the next re-election cycle?
So, wait... a black woman who dug herself up out from being born in poverty, got herself into media, and made herself into a multi-billionaire is claiming there's a "caste system" in America? If that were the case, her ass would still be in an unemployable position in Mississippi. She needs to sit her champagne socialist, limousine liberal ass down and shut the hell up.
Looks like dude is a Literally Who from over at Rooster Teeth. Hasn't posted anything new to his Youtube in like four years, no Twitch VODs in the last three years. Looks like he still posts to Insta, and his last few posts on Twatter show he's apparently slobbed enough knob over at Elgato to get them to send him free swag, but other than that, exactly who the hell is he?
That's the messed up part of it - if it's science they can use to further their agenda, like climate change, they're all for it. If it's science that refutes their bullshit, like basic biology showing that Homo sapiens is a slightly dimorphic species with differing sex organs and secondary sex characteristics, then you're a sexist, misogynistic, transphobic Nazi for believing it.
