I've gone as deep as I think I can go cleaning the PS3 (unseated the power supply), but it's not enough. I'm not sure if it's YLOD because I actually can't find a clear demonstration. This look like it? https://i.imgur.com/8GsE9tX.mp4

All the YLOD I've seen are very clearly yellow/amber for about that length of time; now you got me doubting me. If there's nothing in there, though, then you're onto the hardware fault end of things and it's crashing when something's not reporting back a-ok during boot. That's what a YLOD is, for the record. Can you even safe mode it?

His console is not YLOD, the blinking red light is overheating thermal paste fault. YLOD is more specifically heat busting something unfixable or critical on the board. The console can prolly be fixed with some effort.

When you feel up to it, that is. One of my coworkers when I was an auto tech taught me the most valuable lesson: I was having trouble taking the steering wheel off my old car so I could get to the ignition switch. He watched me struggle with it for a bit, and I asked for a hand. He sits in the driver's seat, looks thoughtful for a moment, then grabs the wheel and yanks it off in one quick motion. I'm aghast; twenty minutes of trying and he does it a second! I'm like, how did you do that? And he says, "You just have to not care if you break it."

That was actually kinda fun. I'm way less afraid to open it back up than my laptop after I did a drive swap. Plus I learned that the PS3 face plate is actually partially transparent.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Are you getting a PS5? It's free with PS5 and you can decide if you want Iceborne later if you like the game. Iceborne cannot be unlocked until after just about everything in the base game has been done, it's heavily gated in terms of both stats and skills. That said, it is fuckin rad DLC. I'd advise you to maybe organize with a few friends who've never played MH before and go into MHW together, playing regularly and helping each other in hunts (this will cut down on hunt times and help you more easily deal with situations where you need to hunt a mon multiple times for the requisite parts.) If you can't do that right now then I'd wait on MHW. The experience is a social one.

Yeah, the SOS flare is always there, and there will always be kanji-names to help you, but it also really helped me to have friends to talk about how bespoke systems work, where to find things in menus, what is a 'session'?, etc when I was starting out. So whether you do it with goons or irl friends I recommend not playing the game without some kind of friendly online interaction.

Is the base game included on the "game pass" thing that gives you a bunch of PS4 games if you have PS+ on PS5? And I won't be able to get a PS5 until late 2021 (and by late I mean at least black friday or Christmas).

Well, it's part of the PS+ collection if you can get your hands on a PS5 sometime, or yeah, just buy it whenever because it's super cheap. If you want to buy the whole thing on disc plus Iceborne look for the master edition.

In Cyberpunk I think I have exhausted all main and side story quests (not gigs) and am about to do Nocturne. Is that the endgame? How much time should I budget for that if I want to see things through? Are there any major things with story that I might have missed? I have done everything with Panam, River, Judy, Kerry, and Johnny afaik

All of the endings take between 2-3 hours from Nocturne imo. Maybe longer for the best one (you’ll know which that is based on the available choices I hope!!!) It’s worth waiting a week or two in the menu just in case you get any calls or anything else pops up

Arist posted:13 Sentinels is good, friend Could I get a brief sales pitch on this game? It seems really popular and I initially confused it with something else so I'm eager to learn what people dig about it. Watched an Easy Allies review and it seems a lot like Evangelion which I enjoy greatly, but aside from the stunning art and seeing the adventure/battle gameplay it seems like they didn't want to share too much about the game aside from stating that the story is good and letting the artwork speak for itself in the video. Is it one of those games where it's best to go in blind? If so, would you say a fan of Evangelion has a high chance of enjoying it or are the similarities just surface-level? I think these are the same developers who did some really nice-looking PS2/PS3 games as well, I forget their name now but I think the last was a D&D-style scrolling beat 'em up with RPG mechanics? I think some people complained about the hyper-sexualized art at the time (which was fair criticism imo) but I think it got a PS4 port and I've been kinda tempted to pick that up as well, I'm just not sure if the RPG mechanics will ruin it or not (looking to avoid if it's really grind-y).

It's Vanillaware's amazing animation, music and heart but with most of their most ridiculous and objectionable stuff (giant deformed boob people etc) mostly shaved off. It's by far my favorite of their games and, along with Yakuza 7, and Sakuna, one of the only games moving enough to made me forget the hell world of 2020. edit: and like others have said, the crazy mystery story it has just won't quit surprising you from the first second to the last.

Thanks for the comments, anything to forget the hell world of 2021 will be good  Final question is being quite a story-heavy game it seems, how well does it lend to breaks from playing and shorter play sessions? Is it something you need to set aside 2-3 hours for at a time or can you just play an hour here or there and not be confused or compelled to play longer because something's taking a long time?

It's interesting you say that Sanders, since I'm in the opposite boat. The art style of spooky (distant looking etc) lolita schoolkids isn't for me, just not fully comfortable. You mention "giant boobs" as a bad thing, seem harmless to me! And googling it, this game doesn't seem to have any "deformed" shocking attributes. Anyway, everybody says millenials only care about the booty. So, from all sorts of angles, it is just antiquated and some kind of misunderstanding to criticize big bobs in art. In my opinion. Anyhoo, art sure is a wild thing. Just trying to, in a lighthearted way, point out that we're both uncomfortable with styles in that game, just the opposite ones. Just to clarify the bit I don't find comfortable, I'm not saying anybody is a degenerate for digging the game or it's art, I know I'm in a glass house here. Speaking of liking an anime. I say, we all must continue watching every great anime. How about Mobile Suit Gundam and Zeta. Watching every great anime from the 70s to present. At least, that's my mission. (I know this was presumptuous of me. Anime gets me pumped. ) Also, Blue Oyster Cult has been around for 50 years. Let's take a moment to appreciate them. Also, just because, let's appreciate the game Ripper with Christopher Walken. Which BOC was featured in.

This is clearly a reference to Dragon's Crown, a game that was thoroughly mocked for its ridiculous female characters who were misshapen and wildly overexaggerated, admittedly all the art in that game was kinda like that to some degree. I didn't know the developer but took a big guess that this was what Sanders was referring to and turned out to be right. Besides that question, what the hell is that post?

I have just caught up from 900 unread posts! Goodness. OK I am qualified to ask people to simmer down and most of the time I do not have to. This is very much a chill thread and certain things make us discuss heatedly, but never malicious and viciously like I have seen elsewhere. Just remember attacking a console or game is not an attack on you as a person. This is one of the strongest things to remember about talking about games here. I love all kinds of games. Each of you loves all kinds of games. If we agree we can talk about what we love as a group. If we can disagree we can also talk about what we dislike and why as a group. I know Games has a rep of hating everything (which I do not think is true and certainly not like the old days where everyone was miserable) but I think we are good at being critical if needs be without being mean to each other and I especially do not think we should do that here. Also Bloodborne on PS1 looks hilarious and fun and I would play it. I would not want a Bloodborne 2 though. I am fine with it being self contained. Also the mario 2 being a dream is told to you straight up in the instruction manual where it says Mario has to go to the world of 'Subcon' to stop Wart so that their dreams are no longer plagued. (I am a mario 2 fanatic!  )

I blame all the good single player games that came out last year, I didn’t touch MHW since I beat it really, but I just installed it cause I saw that you were playing it. Also now that I’ve beaten the game and I own Iceborne, I assume that we can basically play together regardless of rank, yeah?
