My PSP's power light is inconsistent when recharging.
Sometimes it doesn't emit a light and sometimes the orange(I think) light just stays on (I have confirmed the device is off many times) when I put the recharging plug thingy in it.
It doesn't seem to be a malfunction either, seeing how I always do get the full power back the next time I turn it on.

It always will, for me... and no amount of effort on S*ny's part to ruin everything I hold dear will ever change that. Ken Kutaragi is just an extended torture session waiting to happen!
seriously
Also I hate things too, but censoring their names out of rage is kind of stupid.
I wouldn't consider killing my parents much of a big deal. Nah. S*ny did far worse than that.
I agree that censoring any words is pretty stupid, but that doesn't make censoring Sony less dumb.
See, you say that you're being serious, but I can't see this as not too over the top to take seriously.
Oh... and my priorities tend to be rather different to most folks'. I figure that is just because most folks are defective. ^_^
hahaha condescension is fun
^Yeah.
Anyhow, perhaps I should really put into context here... I wouldn't consider anyone murdering my family to be a big deal mostly because folks killing folks isn't a big deal.... well, that and I've only got one parent left anyway.
My hatred of S*ny isn't anywhere near what you vitophiles would probably feel if someone terminated your family... but it is still the most I've got, as I really can't bring myself to give much of a fuck about anything else. It is all relative really. No pun intended.
And censorship of non-S*ny stuff is just stupid. Quit it.
This.
I game. It is what I do. It is how I kill the time until time kills me. Over 80% of my free waking time is spent console-gaming. I've got a game running while I'm typing this... just paused for the moment.
It has been this way for many years.
See, the first games console I owned was a Sega Megadrive (what you yanks would call the Genesis). It took me months to save up the money for it, and it was second-hand at that. It was my precious, and from then on ALL the money I got went towards getting more games to play on it... slowly but surely.
Just to clarify something... my "family" consisted of myself, my mother, my brother and the cats. We were poor. We couldn't afford nice things unless we seriously saved for them... so we looked after what little stuff we had... and it was important to us. I am still materialistic to this day.
Anyhow... eventually, some time AFTER the Sega Saturn was released, I was finally able to save up enough money to get one. And eventually I saved up enough money to get Panzer Dragoon... and everything was well in the world for a short while... Thing is, I started noticing things were changing in the world.
Since I looked in gaming magazines when we went to the shops (couldn't buy them though), I knew that S*ny had made a games console, and honestly I was a bit insulted that a non-gaming company could so much as think of trying to step into the game that essentially just consisted of Sega versus Nintendo. I noticed that they even started advertising it on television, and marketing it to.... well.... EVERYONE, no less. Common people. Ordinary people. Non-gamers. Non-geeks. The undedicated mundies who had no respect for things.
Well fine, I thought. S*ny can have their mundie console for the morons and degenerates of the world. As long as they stay out of our business, that isn't a big deal. But they didn't. I've always had an eye for spotting trends, and I noticed that third party developers were being bought over by S*ny, paid to make games exclusively for S*ny's console. Consequentially, they were NOT making so many games for the Saturn. And of course THAT was a slippery slope towards failure.
O'course then it got worse. My brother, who was always the "popular" one of the two of us... the one who put people in front of things and liked "going out" all the time... well, he got a playstation. It broke down pretty quickly, so eventually he got another one. That electrocuted him and broke too... and funnily enough he wasn't doing anything wrong with it. I checked for myself. I'll note that my Megadrive and Saturn both still worked this whole time. Not only had S*ny started warping the gaming industry to its own desires with money brought in from outside (which was horribly dishonourable), but their consoles couldn't even last without breaking, forcing people to spend YET more money on them.
I was disheartened, but I stuck by my guns. I'd decided early on since I couldn't afford lots of consoles like rich folk, that I'd stick with Sega. Besides... they'd made the Panzer Dragoon games... which were my favourite and still are.
Regardless though, my mother married some friend she'd had a long time... and me and my brother ended up with step-brothers. And one of my step-brothers got himself an N64.... So, seeing as I'd pretty much lost my competitiveness for Nintendo (who played fair and were worthy rivals), I spent quite a bit of time playing on his N64... which was a good console despite being cartridge-based. It expanded what I could play for a while... at least until the next generation.
And so Sega made the Dreamcast. And it was good. For a while everything was fine. I got myself a Dreamcast pretty quickly, since my mother getting remarried meant we had a bit more cash to play with, so to speak. Anyway, there is no point going into detail about the DC and my days in Phantasy Star Online.
It wasn't long after that, S*ny made the PS2... and everyone forgot about the Dreamcast almost overnight...
And the unthinkable happened. Sega declared they weren't making any more consoles. I kinda snapped there. I got just about all the Dreamcast games I could find while they were still around and kept playing them until my Dreamcast died from overuse after several years. The first console I'd ever had to fail.
... Then... I didn't really have anything left to live for. I'd been rather dedicated... but S*ny had dishonourably slain Sega (which then resurrected itself as an undead abomination of a 3rd party developer)... and.... all I really had left over from that earlier portion of my life was my animosity towards S*ny.
There isn't really much purpose behind it any more. I cling to my hatred of S*ny for the sake of feeling something. I could stop hating them quite easily if I wanted to, but I don't want to. I've collected Microsoft and Nintendo consoles since then... but it just isn't the same.
So there.
If that wasn't too boring... you may laugh as much as you wish. ^_^
It's popular so it sucks?
So they aren't allowed to make a console because they weren't there first?
So, ignoring how horrible condescending this is, it's a bad thing to try to get non-gamers into games and expand the industry?
oh no, they use money to advertise
And my first Genesis broke. Your point?
They couldn't compete. They'd rather focus on other things than lose money. That's business. Welcome to capitalism.
what the hell does that even mean
I suppose at some level, but mostly that they weren't allowed to make a console because they were not a console company, a gaming company, nor really anything to do with anything. S*ny made music-players and televisions, and that is the way it should have stayed.
Being condescending is a habit I picked up from others being condescending to me for most of my childhood... but that isn't the point. Yes, it was a bad thing from my perspective. It turned something special into something common.
Money from other industries. Outside sources. It was like coming to a sword duel with a bazooka. That shit just isn't cool.
@Dyre ; I take it you didn't read any of my monologue then. No. I hate S*ny because they make WORSE consoles than Sega... but do better because they advertise them to everyone and strangle the third-party game supply to other consoles with money they already had from their other industries. I mean heck, if they made better consoles, why would they have to remake them like 3 or 4 times over? O'course Microsoft do that too now, but then I'm not all that fond of Microsoft either.
And I picked up the habit of picking my scabs when I was a kid. Doesn't mean I should just keep doing that because that's how I always did it.
I hate this elitist attitude. By that logic, music was better back when almost no one could afford a radio. Reading was better back when nobody could read. Movies were better when they were silent.
Sega had plenty of money. I think you're overestimating how much of an advantage Sony had there. I mean, the N64 didn't do well, and Nintendo managed to stay afloat.
