  • Nice post. The ps3 is great fun if you like to tinker with this sort of thing, are on a budget, or even if you just want to relive some old games that never got ported to future gens.

    I picked an original phat model for $20 a few years ago. It came with a 60 gb hdd which I replaced with a 320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size. The console made a ton of noise and would get really hot, the thermal compound was completely siezed due to it’s age and heavy work load, so I replaced it with some fresh mx4 and gave the console a good cleaning. I installed Rebug and set the minimum fan speed to 60%, it’s still loud but it doesn’t get hot anymore. Once that was all done I loaded up a 2tb external drive with my favorite games from that generation.

    To be honest, I had a lot of fun jailbreaking and tinkering with it, but I can count on one hand how many times I’ve gamed on it since. I should probably give it to someone who will get more use out of it lol.









  • Spelunky 2 - $20. One of my all time favorites here. Over 200 hours in, don’t regret any of them. I could easily double my playtime without seeing everything.

    Dark Souls 1 - $30(?). Back in my teen years on the 360 I bought Dark Souls without knowing anything about it. I played through it with a buddy, passing the controller on death, and we had a blast. That first run transcends money for me, I would pay anything to keep that memory. Recently that same buddy and I replayed the game together and are now reworking our way through the series.

    Racingmaybe - $3. This game is amazing. It’s a turn based drag racing game with an upgrade system. This is the best driving game I have ever played, far and away. It’s a hobby project by a solo developer. At it’s $3 price point this game is well worth the money. Seriously, if you’re reading this, buy it. Or drop your Steam name and I will gift it to you.

    Mount & Blade: Warband - $20. This game is really starting to show its age but I still love it. Endless mod potential gives it tons of replayability.

    I could go on forever but these ones came to mind first.










  • Here’s a script from GPT4:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # Create a temporary file for storing file checksums
    tempfile=$(mktemp)
    
    # Generate MD5 checksums for all files in the current directory and its sub-directories
    find . -type f -exec md5sum '{}' \; | sort > $tempfile
    
    # Detect and delete duplicates
    awk 'BEGIN {
        lasthash = "";
        lastfile = "";
    }
    {
        if ($1 == lasthash) {
            print "Deleting duplicate file: " $2;
            system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
        } else {
            lasthash = $1;
            lastfile = $2;
        }
    }' $tempfile
    
    # Clean up
    rm -f $tempfile
    

    This script can be run with Termux from the root of your internal storage. Usually /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0. Do not confuse this with running from root if you are rooted.

    Before using a script that interacts with your files you should backup anything that is important just in case.

    Furthermore, if you comment out:

    system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    By adding a # in front of it like this:

    # system("rm -f \""$2"\"");
    

    You can run the script and see what files the script would delete without actually deleting them. I would recommend doing this as I have not tested this script.



  • I’m waiting for patches, mods, and a sale before playing Starfield, but it did get me thinking about space games, which led me to purchase KSP. I’m really loving it. I used to play a game called Spaceflight Simulator until the dev fucked over the entire player base that supported him since his game released. That game was basically the same concept as KSP in sandbox mode but in 2D. Making the jump to 3D graphics/physics has been really cool, and I’m glad to have filled the hole in my heart SFS left.
