      It never went away. They just figured out how to make it subtle so it could be active all the time instead of just when the computer wasn’t working properly. Do you really feel like you’re using trauma-free software day-to-day?

      I will always remember Eternal Darkness for getting me off the couch to go reset my GameCube cause it appeared frozen. I didn’t get all the way there before realizing the game was fucking with me

      iirc this is the screen you would get when the PS2 was borked and wouldn’t boot properly, or something like that. It’s been a long time but I do still remember the terror I associate with this image lol

      Edit: Actually it might have been a disc read error

        It was a disc read error. In that era, the most likely issue was that your disc was too beat up to work properly.

          Another big reason, a lot of the earlier PS2 models had a poor quality laser that would go bad really quick

            That kind of trauma is probably why I had stopped using optical media by 2005.

    PS2 was my last console, i still have a silver slim one just gathering dust because emulators exist, but for me that was the golden age of gaming…
