The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games? (lemmy.world)

I went to use my old PS2 the other night after many years. The controllers thumpads had turned into this sticky, rubbery, goo. Gross. I couldn't play it

Disassemble, clean with isopropyl alcohol, reassemble.

I assume there are guides on youtube.

I cleaned mine with alcohol and it did not help. The material (silicone?) is breaking down so just cleaning it didn't help that much.
