First you need to make these regions easily accessible. I'm soryy I'm not traveling 10 hours to Tamale to go visit the New foreign affairs office. It's impractical.
Let's say the PS6 is a digital only console (pretty much guaranteed now) and 20yrs after it's release you wanna get a game for the PS6 but they've shut down the store just like they did for the PS3/Vita. What are you going to do?
You can't go to a gamestop, a pawn shop, a flea market, ebay or whatever. This is planned obsolescence in its' final form. PlayStation now has 100% control over how you buy and play a game.
Your boy wanna sell you a game for cheap? Can't do that, gotta buy full price on PSN. Wanna give your boy a game to check out? too bad, he's gotta buy it for $70 on PSN.
This is terrible for videogame preservation and consumer rights
I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.
Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.
Seedance 2.0 on OpenArt AI
Prompt:
Main subject: young Korean woman, early 20s, natural everyday appearance, faded charcoal-grey sleeveless crop top, loose high-waisted light-wash jeans, black canvas sneakers, black cord necklace, black wavy hair in a messy side ponytail with wispy bangs. Realistic skin texture, minimal makeup, warm and approachable personality. Maintain consistent identity, clothing, hairstyle, and appearance throughout the entire video.
Location: Authentic Korean residential neighborhood during a calm late morning. Narrow concrete alleys, low-rise homes, small terraces, potted plants, laundry lines, bicycles, utility poles, overhead wires, mature trees casting moving shadows, quiet residential atmosphere. No stores, advertisements, cafés, crowds, or commercial activity.
Visual Style: Ultra-realistic documentary realism. Genuine candid behavior. Natural body language. Unscripted slice-of-life feeling. Strong environmental authenticity. Rich real-world details and believable human motion.
Camera Style: Early-2000s consumer DV camcorder aesthetic. Friend casually recording everyday moments. Heavy handheld shake, imperfect framing, frequent autofocus hunting, lens breathing, exposure pumping when moving between sun and shade, occasional motion blur, subtle rolling shutter, mild digital compression artifacts, faded colors, soft contrast, slight sensor noise. No stabilization. No cinematic camera moves. No modern color grading.
00:00–00:02
Outside a small house entrance. She sits on a low concrete wall adjusting her ponytail with both hands raised. A light breeze moves loose strands of hair. She smiles naturally while the camera struggles to hold focus.
00:02–00:04
The camera follows her into a narrow alley lined with potted plants and concrete walls. She notices a stray cat approaching and crouches down. Framing drifts off-center as the operator tries to keep up.
00:04–00:06
She gently pets and feeds the cat. Autofocus repeatedly shifts between her face and the animal. Morning sunlight flickers through leaves overhead.
00:06–00:08
Small front yard beside her house. She hangs laundry on a clothesline while fabrics sway in the breeze. Exposure changes as clouds briefly pass overhead.
00:08–00:10
On a quiet terrace with a ceramic coffee cup. She sits comfortably watching the neighborhood, occasionally brushing hair behind her ear. Loose handheld side angle with natural camera drift.
00:10–00:12
Close side profile. Someone off-camera greets her. She turns, raises her hand, smiles warmly, and casually says, “Annyeong.” The camera catches the moment slightly late.
00:12–00:15
Walking slowly down a tree-lined residential lane holding her coffee cup. She notices the camera, gives a small genuine smile, then looks away and continues walking. Recording cuts abruptly to black mid-motion as if the camcorder was switched off.
Audio: Natural ambient sound only — morning birds, distant motorcycles, light wind, leaves rustling, faint neighborhood chatter, cat sounds, footsteps on concrete, fabric moving on clotheslines, subtle residential ambience. No music. No sound design. No narration.
Goal: Authentic Korean neighborhood life captured like a forgotten home video from the early 2000s — candid, imperfect, realistic, warm, and deeply believable.
