Not only do I know what a PS2 is, I know what a PS/2 is too.
Ohhh, I played soooo much PS/2. It was such a blast. Could do nearly anything. My fav game may have been Win95.
Only game I could seem to run was Driver.
Tap for spoiler
don’t be sad that you’re old enough to have played on a real life ps2, or even ps1-- be glad that 9/11, 2008, covid, and 2 diaperman potus terms aren’t the most significant core memories of your childhood
For real, I would feel like such a wizened sage if I was asked about the PS2 by some youngster!
What? I had a PS1 and PS2, and 9/11 is one of my earliest memories. ‘08 was also childhood suckery.
Covid + PedOTUS is a separate generation.
Come now, child, it’s time to commune with us, the deep ones. We who witnessed the 8088 and Apple II’s in the computer store, the Commodores, the Ataris, the Coleco visions, we who played Pong on the Atari Home Pong console.
These children haven’t even danced on a home DDR pad, settling for Nintendo and Microsoft’s weak tracking methods.
Uh, I’m not sure what you mean by “settling for Nintendo’s weak tracking method”. There were home DDR pads for the Wii, I know that because I still have one.
The WII is 20 years old, they all had dancepads 20 years ago.
The only ones still running ddr have camera or motion controllers. dancepads are mostly dead tech
I still own my PS2 and it works
Same here… Over the years I even ended up with a modem and HDD for it. Great system.
That’s good, take care of it and enjoy it. My Dreamcast GD-Rom finally gave up last year, but some day I’ll replace it.
Me, old enough to have owned an Atari 2600 (…clone):

I’m old enough to have been an engineer of a pre-PS2 system. All I’m going to say.

PS2…Pffft. I had a PlayStation. The indestructible grey box from the before times. I played Final Fantasy VII, Driver, Silent Hill, Tekken 3, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and Grand Theft Auto. Unless the power was out, you could pop in a disc, read the booklet, and play to your heart’s content. Hell, if we are going to be talking old, how about playing Jeep Command or Pac-Man on the Commodore 64? I need to go back in my dusty coffin and have a nap. AND GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
“Are you old enough to have seen the console that had the most units produced over the longest lifetime of any other console, and which is still made in some parts of the world today?”
I want a brand new ps2 with all the old ps2 games. I bet it exists, eh?
You can take a ps2 off Ebay, and with some pretty easy computering and a hard drive you can have a PS2 with hundreds of games built in. Downloading a terabyte of games is the longest part.
the ps2 was discontinued worldwide on 4 january 2013
Which means that teenager was very likely ALSO alive when the last one was made
Seeing how old a youtube video is makes me feel older than this. Like I see 16y on a YouTube video I was watching literally 16 years ago and I feel old from that.
This though, it throws me into a nostalgia loop of man I do miss playing ps1 games on the ps2, spending time with my brother, buying accessories for it like the memory cards and the controllers with extra vibration or the ones with the fans in the handles. Man those were good times. Playing dbz budokai 2 and soul caliber 2. Awww man the THPS games were fuckin’ sick on that. The Matt Hoffman bike games!!!
Yea it was truly a legendary system.
Ok got it lemmy is unc core now
Wut?
a teenager at work asked me if I was old enough to “have seen a C64 in real life” and if anyone needs me I will be quietly walking into the sea¹
¹millennial humor; often self-deprecating, dramatic
No, what is unc core?
uncle hardcore
And yet I’m old enough to have seen the release of the original PlayStation and old enough to remember it

My coworker once asked to me take out a loan so she could buy some kind of trinket, I told her no and gave her my old PS2 instead. Ever since then she gives me a real good Nantucket Narb Snarfie before bed every night. I’ve never ejaculated so much in my life. It’s a shame she passed away 54 years ago.
