Comment by Markoff

Honestly I am not even interested in PS4 and especially PS5 exploits, the only reason I have PS3 is to play split screen games with kids or kids alone, the push to online play killed consoles for me, PS3 was the peak of split screen gaming, PS4 and PS5 have significantly less split screen games than PS3 and let's not forget you can play PS1 and PS2 split screen games on PS3, so I guess for someone not playing split screen games these jailbreaks are relevant, but for me they killed their newer consoles with abandoninh split screen games. I bought our previous PS3 Slim for 40EUR including shipping, after one year it died most likely because of RSX (random artifacts, no overheating), now bought PS3 Super Slim for 50EUR, will see how long will last that, but anyway if it would be 40-50EUR per year of offline split screen gaming I am fine with that, using HEN.

and since someone asked me here recently what we play, here copypasta:

What we/they play:

my favorite game (but they are sick of it, not appreciating it, most of the time I win) is Worms 2 Armageddon (part of Worms Revolution collection)

Blur - racing with fun for me and son

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing or Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - all of us including dauther

Little Big Planet - co-op platformer, all of us liked it until it got really difficult

NHL Legacy edition - all of us ocassionally

MotorStorm - Pacific Rift - racing, seems only son, but I can bear it for while

Children like (but without me):

Minecraft - PlayStation 3 Edition - they play it offline like all games we have, I guess it is co-op

Rayman Legends - co-op platformer

The Simpsons Game - co-op platformer, but needs to think, can get stuck in places

and since we watch together MotoGP and F1 they recently started to play F1 2013 - Complete Edition, but seems too difficult, for racing the best fun is first Sonic all star racing or Blur

on PS2:

LEGO Batman - co-op platformer, but requires lot of thinking

Shrek 2 - same as above

we liked from PS1:

Crash team racing, but now it is replaced with sonic with better graphics on PS3

Circuit Breakers (USA) - racing, all of us

FoxKids.com - Micro Maniacs Racing - racing, but with running characters

Tom and Jerry in House Trap - they like

    Windows

    Each story opens in a window holding its article above its discussion; drag the bar between them to share the room differently. A window can be moved by its title bar, resized from any edge, snapped to a half or a corner by dragging it there, maximised, or minimised to the bar at the foot of the page. Use Window > New reader window to open an empty reader, or a story row's Open in new reader window button to compare articles. Docked readers keep their articles when you select another story from the sidebar. Minimized readers can be restored and reused for their site. A window's Next story link reads on down the list in the same window.

    A link in a comment or an article to another Hacker News or Lobsters thread opens that thread in a window too. A link to a single HN comment opens the comment above its replies.

    While a story's window is in front, the Story and Discussion menus in the menu bar hold its commands: pinning, Next story, sorting, collapsing every thread, jumping to the first new comment. Each window also remembers where you were in its article and discussion, so a reload, or Back to a story that Next took you past, finds your place again. Closing a window forgets it.

    The whole arrangement lives in the address, so a bookmark or a shared link brings it back, and Back undoes the last change. Moving between Hacker News, Lobsters, their lists, Pinned and Find changes only the list, and leaves the windows open.

    The list

    The pin at the start of a row keeps the story in Pinned, and the cross at its end hides it. Pinned can be narrowed by words in the title, site or author, by source, and to the stories you haven't opened yet, and ordered by when you pinned them, by points or by comments; the filters are part of the address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked. Scroll past the end of the list to load more. Domain filters, in the View menu, hide every story from a site.

    Browsing view

    View > Windowed and View > Classic select the browsing view and save your default in this browser. Window view reuses a reader for each feed. Classic view opens stories and applets as pages. Open as a page and Open in a window are one-off actions that do not change your saved default. Direct page links always open as pages.

    Applets

    The Applets menu in the menu bar holds three tools, each a window of its own. Replies to me takes your Hacker News user name and lists the replies to your last thirty comments and stories, checking again every three minutes while it is open, and marking what is new since you last marked them read. Look up a user opens a profile on Hacker News or Lobsters, with their submissions and recent comments, as a commenter's name in any discussion does; the bar at the top of a profile looks up someone else in the same window, and Back returns to the one before. Who is hiring? filters the posts of HN's monthly hiring threads by the words you type.

    They read only what the sites publish to everyone, so none of them asks for a login, and your user name stays in this browser.

    Find

    Find takes any link and lists every time it was submitted to Hacker News and Lobsters, so you can read each discussion of it.

    About

    YAVCHN never sees your Hacker News or Lobsters login. The discussion is fetched from each site's public API; to vote or reply, follow the link above the discussion, or the arrow beside a comment, to the source's own site. Pins, hidden stories, filters and layout are kept in this browser only.
