When I was in highschool in the later 90's I had an acquaintance that did graphic arts. He of course had a Mac with scsi everything, zip drive,scanner and printer.

It was cool and fascinating to me that only knew of the newly released USB, serial and parallel ports for external devices.

Ferrari done lost their mind! If you told me this was a Kia I would have said it was ugly for a Kia.

...and PS2 eating the DC's lunch has more to do with Sega and their terrible decisions made in prior generations that burnt retailers and consumers alike than anything else. The things the PS2 had going for it at launch was a cheap DVD player(yes Sega didn't have the money for this. They were very close to bankruptcy at the time) and Sony's hype.

The id tech 8 engine is a whole lot more performant than the unreal 5 engine and absolutely does what it needs to, fantastically, I would add for the game it was made for.

By the way, the AMD athlon 64-bit launched 2003. The PS3 launched in 2006. I had an AMD64 bit process in my laptop in 2005.

What wasn't viable?

It has been my experience that they would call a female agent when they needed to pat down another female. Has this changed?

My job entails me writing mostly Coldfusion all day long. I write new code in Coldfusion script. Its syntax heavily inspired by javascript, right down to the optional terminating semicolon. I still have to support a fair bit of code written in Coldfusion tag syntax. That I dislike especially given the code base was written by amateur developers and just makes me feel like bad php from 2003.

There was no disputing it. Sony won the 5th and 6th.

Here's what's interesting.The Maple bus and the Dreamcast supported a second analog stick, They just never added it to the controller.

The Saturn is also my favorite. Is it bad that I think depends a dragoon saga kind of overeated? Zwei is my favorite. The music in one was awesome I thought though

The Dual Shock 5(wired) and Dual Shock 4(wireless) were some of the best controller where it comes to latency. https://rpubs.com/misteraddons/inputlatency

Edit:// those 8bitdo controllers are pretty terrible looking at that list, Wow.

If going by sales alone then Sonic Adventure(1) should be the only game you talk about.

Say way? Crazy Taxi? The Dreamcast had an amazing library! Sonic Adventures Shenmue(1,2), Grandia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Virtua Tennis, Entire 2k sports series, Samba de Amigo, House of the dead, Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2, Jet Grind Radio, Test Drive LeMans, F355 Challenge, Rez, ...the list goes one

The weird yet cool games Roommania, Segaga, Seaman

Of course many of these games got ported over later on the other consoles or had sequels release on system after the Dreamcast's demise

Don't modern TV's come with a game mode to reduce this latency (turns off any kinds of image processing)?

I have a 12 year old Samsung LCD monitor that is advertised as 2.5ms
