You could say it was not on ps1 / psx, I was expecting some good retro stuff. Before anyone starts complaining - i dont know what "dreams" is, and title just says "advent of code on playstation", which implies doing challenge on 25 year old console.

I am writing this comment on a Mac. I am not writing this comment on the original Mac released in 1984.

  Mac has a genericity that Playstation doesn't. Two mostly contemporary Macs can run mostly the same software, two Playstations can't, the naming scheme is also much more complicated for Mac than it is for Playstation. As a result when you speak of your Playstation device it's expected that you should specify the number, and Playstation reads as Playstation 1.

    I don’t think this is as true as you claim. The switch to M1, the switch to intel before that, various changes in macOS…meanwhile PlayStation games often did port to newer generations, typically at least 1 generation off but I can play some ps2 games on ps5. A bit of a stretch but I think the OP here was incredibly nitpicking regardless of the software compat

Absolutely. As a retro console homebrew dev, I was very disappointed in the article when I realized it wasn’t for the PS1/PSX. Needs a 5 in the title.

    All the more reason to specify. If you're going to disappoint someone no matter what, why not include a single extra digit in your title; to avoid the issue altogether. :)

  it kind of does. devices of newer generations are usually mentioned as such. also, similar headlines more often than not are about implementations in older hardware (more interesting because more challenging)
