The announcement of PlayStation 2 Icon Open Database #PS2IODB!
My mission to create an open for all to use and contribute database of #PlayStation2 save game icons. These adorable little models deserve some archival love! Care to help me?

PS2IODB has crossed the 90% contribution threshold. Thank you once again to everyone who has contributed, donated, and shares the site around the net. We're in the home stretch!
Cool site :)
Feeling nostalgic about PlayStation 2 save icons? Or just curious to see what some games used? There's a website which has most of them archived and allows you to see the model and textures used!

Sometimes come across comments like these on posts about save icons around the net. Very motivating to see!
No matter how many times you set Wikipedia to dark or system theme, it always switches back to the original white theme eventually (usually after a week or 2). Happens across multiple devices. Can we get a fix @Wikipedia ?
Games opening and closing as soon as you click with no bullshit is a lost art. One of the things I always notice and enjoy when going back to Quake.
PS2IODB's top contributor Cajas has now surpassed 2000 contributions to the site. 💥🤯 A herculean amount of effort spanning multiple years now, time flies! You may view all of Cajas contributions on the site using the contributor filter. Thank you Cajas! 🙏

After a significant amount of time, chipping away on and off, I have finally completed what I'm sure is the first ever "Lyrical Walkthrough" for what I'm sure is one of the best games ever... Cave Story.
Enjoy...

The new "Random" buttons on PS2IODB give you a new fast & fun way to explore the 4237 (and counting) icons! Maybe you could make a drinking game out of it? 👀🍻

I went for a swim the other day but did not get eaten by a shark. Jaws is a lie.
The 1965 real-life "boys stranded on a desert island" happened, proving that Lord of the Flies was a completely wrongheaded take on the idea. But a certain group of creators really like the idea that humans are really terrible unless some central controlling government keeps us from killing each other. Hobbes started this idea, but it lives on for some reason.
Yes I read the Lord of the Flies, and it had the big impact on me that it does on everyone. It's still a lie.
New PS2IODB Contributor JonnyPaes is creating a Counter-Strike homebrew modification for the PS2 Half-Life and has made an original save icon for it and contributed it to the site himself! This is definitely the best Homebrew icon I've seen yet, and the first self-contribution!
When building search systems I always try to order results by whether or not they begin with the user's query. It avoids annoying UX like this, which is currently happening in @discord ("lock_with_ink_pen" is the first result for "think")

Hey folks. This month my partner of 19 years @mitzommar was diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer.
We’re devastated, but hopeful that modern treatments can give her many more years.
It will be a long road and if you’re able, we could use your help.
