Haha, I loved that gen, but in hindsight, what a shitshow. In think the early 360s had like 50% fail rate, which is crazy. I'd love to get my hands on fat, backwards compatable PS3 but they are all ticking timebombs too.

Oh yeah, its funny, I was in high school when that gen came out. Everyone had an Xbox because of Halo. One of the guys in our friend group had a PS2 and we shit on him for it. Years later you look at the numbers and that console has and it sold like 160M, and the Xbox had something like 25M

* OG Xbox is B
* 360 is an A
* Wii U and Saturn can swap

Nostr will always be niche, mass adoption is a pipe dream. If Nostr ever caught on, it would abstract away so much of the fiddly parts of Nostr that all the OGs would screech about it worse than they do with Primal currently.
Zapping is kind of dumb, and its not Nostr's killer feature. Twitter is a cesspool because it essentially monetizes engagement and posting insane shit. Is that really what people want for Nostr? I do like zapping for when someone posts an article or helps with with something though.
Nostr currently exists because of Bitcoin, and it also holds it back. People talk nonstop about Bitcoin, and its insufferable and boring, but people like it. It's also the reason no one else will come here, because they don't like it.
There's too many projects. Yeah it's cool, everyone can do their own thing on Nostr, that doesn't mean they should. We don't need 75 different clients, this is Linux distros all over again, go help an existing project instead.

A couple years ago Signal was setup in a way that you could use it as your default messaging app, so all your SMS texts would go through Signal. The benefit was, you could tell all the normies to switch to Signal to text, and if the app knew both parties were using Signal, it would swap it over to secure chat. It was seemless.
They got rid of that from a UI perspective because allegedly they had no good way of alerting users when things were secure not (although Apple was doing the green/blue bubble thing already so thats bullshit)

It also causes issues when at an instance level, they decide to not federate with another instance, because basically 30% of the Fediverse decides to block you.

It's not my cup of tea, but I can see it becoming a thing. My guess is it would work kind of like how the anniversary version Halo worked, where the original still runs under the hood, and the AI just modifies the sprite table and runs that on top. It would really put a damper on companies selling us remasters every 10 years

2026-01-27 11:21:32 UTC

I can't remember where I found this image, but I think AI is going to have an interesting part in retrogaming. I remember when everyone fought eachother about scanlines or pixel shaders, AI remastering built into an emulator would be a whole different ballgame.
