  The ps2 was also quite bad in that regard, but the meme about using it upside down was the original ps1.

  Console reliability took a sudden nosedive with the switch to optical drives.

  I’m sure the sony consoles weren’t the worst in that regard, but being by far the most popular meant you knew a bunch of people whose playstation would take half an hour to load a game if at all, but the one saturn you’d seen in your life worked fine.

  I’m not sure where this idea comes from, the PlayStation had a bad reputation even when it was new.

  The optical drive would often fail and need replacement. There was a whole meme about people using the console upside down to combat this.

  From a skeptical translation point of view, I want to know if the word heart means the same thing today as it did then.

  I’m sure that part is mostly accurate, but I think it’s talking about other people’s hearts, rather than one’s own.

  In context, it’s trying to make a point about how one should trust god above men, because there’s no way for one to know how another person truly feels (but in theory god can).

  You’d have to ask a theologian for an actual answer.

  This isn’t true, the back buttons on the steam controller can be mapped independently.

  You are most likely misremembering, there are many controllers that do similar things to what you describe, but the steam controller isn’t one of them.
