Nice! A console port for TS3. Time to use all those Karma powers to delete your sims’ clothes! Seriously though, I think it’s an impressive port, despite lacking a bit uniqueness comparing to TS2 for consoles.

The most unique thing about S2 for consoles is how you could control each sims which I kinda wish it was an option in later installments. Fun fact about S2 for consoles, most of its assets and such were reused from the canceled Urbz: Sims in the City sequel. Now that’s a unique game in the series

Directly from the USA I present you my latest purchase!
Instead locally I bought an LCD Sony Bravia from 2010 used in very very good condition and I manage to get my hands from eBay on a brand new PS2 whom I got for 100€.
Now the Playstation has been opened but it seems never used. There wasn’t even a scratch on it, charger absolutely brand new, the controller was sealed but the console didn’t read the discs.
So I bought another refurbished Ps2 just to swap the optic drive. Opening up the console that didn’t read the discs inside was all factory new. Not even a particle of dust!
Only issue I have left is how bad it looks… I remember the graphics a lot different 
And there is no way I am investing in a CRT TV but… Maybe one day I will get a very over the top scaler.

Ha, welcome to retro gaming, enjoy the pixels and framerate under 30 fps 
At least you’re using component instead of composite cables which slightly improves the image quality

HOW DO YOU GET THAT IMAGE?
I was looking into this: https://www.retrotink.com/shop/retrotink-4k
Do you have more economic suggestions?

Those images aren’t mine, just something I found quick on the internet when looking for some comparisons.
I use this adapter for my PS2 and it does a decent job to clarify the image quality and it’s like ~$10
I also have a memory card with Free McBoot and OPL which allows increasing the resolution
I say just stick with a good adapter, embrace the old graphics and enjoy the games

I’ve never really been a Bond fan and I’ve never seen any of the Daniel Craig ones.
However I didn’t want to play the ET until I’d seen Casino Royale at best. If only to get a better understanding about Mad’s Le Chiffre character and of course any references that I would otherwise miss.
Plus there’s bound to be more 007 stuff added to Hitman in future, so I might as well brush up.

Hey, i just bought a Blu-ray of Romper Stomper the other day 
Also a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World. Mostly I’m playing Links Awakening again, which finally runs as smooth as it should be.

Photos of my new PC from my system builder (UK Gaming Computers) - photographed with a white 5080 for prettyness points, but the final build will have a black 5090 in it because they couldn’t source a variant in white.

They are running buy one get two free till midnight tonight! I have never seen their sabers before but by all accounts they are better than ultrasabers, maybe in the league of Saberforge, not as good as vaders vault (nothing is). I’m excited! I got one with pixel blade that actually ignited and turns off like the movies. The two free ones both have sound but are LED in the hilt models. This is the pixel blade one.

TLDR = I bought new grips for my James Bond gun.
A few years back I bought a Walther PPK. I opted for the stainless steel and sent it away to a guy who does mirror polishing. It’s beautiful, but I just couldn’t find replacement grips for it. The black plastics it came with are fine, but I wanted something fun. Hogue made some wood ones that didn’t really speak to me and then one other company was wood and making faux ivory, but they only made them as replicas of the nazi pistols, and I just have no desire to have a swastika on my gun. Anyway I would poke around online every 6 months hoping to see new options (I would love a black pearl), and today- finally- I was happily surprised to see there are now lots of options! I picked up the white and the pink. I’ll post a photo when they arrive and I get them installed.

Just made me realise that once First Light comes out, a Rude-Ruby-style PPK is a frighteningly real possibility…

I was gonna ask what’s the lit up box on the far left? It looks like a really cool computer. Is that what controls the big screen?
