  Heck yeah!

  I had a Sony atrak 3+ player back in the day (around 2002, probably, because I used it at work) which was just an mp3 file compression alternative served up on a special cd player instead of an mp3 player… they tried… anyway I had a re-writable disc that I’d add stuff to whenever I downloaded it, and I think the one cd had like 1800 songs on it or so (and lots of space left)

  That didn’t skip, even working a physical job, unless I banged it against something. Part of why I got it. But when I put regular discs in, they would skip a lot if I didn’t have it laying flat.

  This is one of those “they were so concerned with if they could do it, they didn’t stop to think if they should” sort of things.

  Portable cd players were never actually that portable, because cds are just big. Minidisc players sure, but those never really caught on. MP3 players, however, caught on because they are small and easily portable, and the library doesn’t take up a binder.

  Oh man, parasite eve was so frustrating, but such a good game!

  Is it considered strategy because of the (vvvvvvvvvery) limited ammo/supplies? I… wouldn’t have pegged it that way, personally, hence the question.

  Idk if it would be my cup of tea these days, but I’m kinda excited to try it either way :)

  I mean now that you can’t see shit without being logged in, they already sort of did that for a lot of people.

  I read a thing about that yesterday and the responsible party is whomever sent up the junk in the first place.

  Which translates directly to “get fucked, pleb.” Because, what? Is China gonna pay out for their crap breaking shit in Texas or Spain? Who’s at fault with international collaborations? Etc.

  And the thing I read basically had that as a conclusion as well - good luck getting paid out, and your insurance probably won’t cover it either.
