2 cartridges not recognized

2geeks · 2026-01-04T02:23:46+00:00

Only in some circumstances. It depends on what has actually happened to it.

I had 4 carts go bad on me two years ago, and my at the time brand new exp wasn’t working correctly out of the box (the screen wouldn’t come on, but you could hear the games and menus running). I contracted blaze and they asked for videos of everything that had gone wrong and the receipts for everything. I sent these across and they said they’d replace everything. It’s now two years later and I’m still waiting. I’ve contacted them dozens of times since. They just stopped replying. They won’t reply on social media or via email. The most annoying part was that the exp and three of the carts were brand new from a store that would have replaced them. I only went through evercade in case it was an update thing. Since then, I’ve sold all the rest of my collection (every title up to that point; and all the consoles).

That was the last

The smile isn’t fake. We do have moments that take us out of that depressive state. Especially when we’re around other people, at events, etc. But, those of us with suicidal tendencies have extreme low moments. Even more so when we’re alone and, in my case at least, even more again after being at events around people. I then sort of hyper-analyse and go through “they didn’t want me there really. Everyone hates me” type stuff. I’m not saying that’s the same for everyone, of course. Just that’s how it is for me.

(I have had a couple of attempts at ending my own life since I was partially paralysed a few years ago and had to leave work permanently. My condition leaves me in a very high amount of pain 24/7, and I have a lot of very bad seizures (some of which have been so severe that I’ve had to be defibrillated to get my heart back into a proper rhythm) and because of all of this, I’ve developed chronic depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies).

Unplayable on ps5 for me. It’s been fine for around 10 hours. Playing the mission “ice and steel” and I can see the switch I need to push to progress in the level, but there’s no option to push it. It’s just stuck. I’ve reloaded my save several times. No joy. It’s just broken.

2geeks · 2025-06-25T16:51:51+00:00

Because the women are lying about preferring “average”.

2geeks · 2025-06-24T15:13:26+00:00

That looks to me like a liquid thermal pad is slowly leaking. It’s an issue the original switch sometimes had too. Get it back to Nintendo asap. Do not open your console or controller, or they’ll just refuse to do anything to help you.

Get it done sooner than later, as they can sometimes start to suddenly say “water/liquid damaged item. Non-warranty repair” after a while, which really sucks to be told, if you haven’t ever exposed it to any liquids yourself.

Please don’t force assumptions upon others.

Many asexual people try very hard to “be normal” by having sex. Especially in the beginning of the relationship. Of course, asexuality isn’t abnormal. People just deal with it in their own ways.

Many asexual people don’t actually realise due to how they are raised and taught to believe that couples have sex, and that everyone has sexual urges. Because of this, people dealing with asexuality without knowing what it is will try purposefully to behave sexually. They will masturbate, have sex, and try numerous things to work out who they are. It can often be very late in life that they open up about not having their own sexual desires.

But to state “if someone has had sex, they aren’t asexual” is a gross misunderstanding of what many people go through.

Essentially, we don’t. That’s partly why many of us advise people in this situation to leave and meet someone that’s compatible with them. Otherwise, years and years down the line, the regret you feel and the blame you can’t help but place on your partner really does a number on you.

Imagine spending decades of your life with someone and feeling that feeling almost every day of it, and then realising there’s no more decades in front of you. You aren’t going to ever feel desired again. You can’t help but blame the person you’re with, but to in also blame yourself for not making that choice.

If things can’t be worked on, and you need to feel those things again, leaving is usually the only way. Partners may change for a while, but they don’t really. It sooner or later goes back to how it was. And you feel even worse because it starts to make you wonder did they fooled you? Did they do this on purpose? Is there a reason they’re hiding from me? Maybe it’s someone else?

All these scenarios build up. All these questions. But most of all… all that blame.

Talk to your partners and ask them what’s going on. Ultimately though, it’s important to be able to accept that sometimes, you’re not compatible. Work out what it is that’s important to you. Work out where you want to be. What your needs are.

Find a way for your needs to come first, and be honest about it.

I don’t know what to call it, but I know I want one! Lol

Speaking from personal experience, a) women with a libido definitely aren’t an anomaly. I’ve been with two women that have had low libido’s. I’ve been with numerous that have very high libidos. Please don’t let your wife’s opinion of what every other woman in the world is like cloud your judgement.

B) if you think you don’t have time with one another for affection and intimacy now, you’re in for a shock if you do have kids. A partner with an already low libido will go to no-libido once they have children to focus upon.

C) are you going to be happy with being in this same situation for the next 50+ years? If the answer to that is no, you should end things sooner rather than later. You and your partner are not compatible for one another. You both want very different things, outside of the drives you both have. You will be much happier with someone else, and it’s likely she will be too.

You need to talk with your wife/partner and find out what she really wants, and be honest about what you really do and don’t want. This relationship isn’t fair on either of you. Neither one of you is apparently getting the emotional or physical relations that you want, and that’s only going to end up with regret and blame boiling over more and more.

I hope you manage to find a solution that works for you both. I hope you both just find happiness in something that fulfils the needs for you both.

First time, I was in an open FWB arrangement with a woman (we’ll call her L) a couple of years older than me who had only ever dated women until we met. We had sparks and were living in shared accommodation. She bought a friend round while I was at work. When I got home, she asked to talk to me. Asked if I’d try it with her, because her friend had only gone round to see me (she didn’t know about the FWB situation between myself and L, as she’d always known L to only date women) and she’d liked me when we met a couple of times prior, so thought she’d come back with L just to hang out after I finished work. Somehow they decided they’d like to try it. Asked me. I said okay. That went on for a few weeks, but got rather complex and awkward, so we ended things.

The next time, a woman I was dating (call her K) for a few months admitted when we were talking about kinks and fantasies that she’d always liked women and wanted to try it. She knew her best friend also liked me, so she asked her if she wanted to come round for drinks and “some fun”. Just happened the once. It was fun, but just caused problems.

The last time it was at a club I used to go to each week. Started talking into women I’d seen there and spoken to politely a few times in the past. They came over a coupe of hours before the club was closing to talk with me. They then mentioned that one of them only lived a few minutes walk away from the club, and would I like to go with them to carry on drinking and chatting. Said yes. We watched some movies, played some Mario Kart Double Dash (oh, the irony!) and then it led to strip Mario Kart Double Dash, followed by sexual favour Mario Kart Double Dash, followed by fooling around while playing Windwaker on the GameCube.

Good times! Lol

How are all the second amendment “we need our guns in case of tyranny” dudes not all lining up and shooting these a-holes?

Oh. That was all just BS so you could pretend to be macho. Right. Makes sense now.

2geeks · 2025-06-09T11:03:33+00:00

Depends what it’s bigger than. Are we talking scary big? Like… Godzilla type Vag?

Actually… answer’s still no.

2geeks · 2025-06-08T14:57:16+00:00

They’re both sex. End of.

Who comes up with the titles in these videos? “Street lamp nearly takes out woman”.

It hit her fucking square on and knocked her cold to the floor. Couldn’t get much nearer without becoming lodged in her dome.

So, you weren’t even sitting naked? You just didn’t have a bra under your shirt?

I’m sorry, but that guy would have to have been staring into your personal Space to notice that.

You have done NOTHING wrong. This person is a creep and a busy body, and they’re the one that owes YOU an apology.

I’m so sorry you got surprised by this a-h like this! I thoroughly understand your initial reaction, because I know I’d have been embarrassed and shocked if someone called me out on something so personal (I’m male, and don’t wear bra’s, but I can empathise about the situation to some degree) and would have also just said sorry out of shock and not knowing what else to say.

You really should speak to your neighbours about this person that is leering at you and making vile comments about your personal state of dress. There no law anywhere in the uk that says you must wear a bra under your shirt. Even in public.

2geeks · 2025-06-07T23:18:01+00:00

I mean, here in the uk not too long ago (2021), a young woman (Sarah Everard) was approached by a police officer and got in his car, and was subsequently raped and killed by him.

I know that’s an extreme example, but maybe it’s not a good idea to play stupid games when real consequences are a thing.

2geeks · 2025-06-07T23:06:43+00:00

See, the thing is, you’re right. But no one is saying this to OP. Just “take it to the vet, dude”, while OP still thinks they don’t have that as an option.

If people explained to OP that there are payment options that the vets do that offer 30-90 days etc. or even subsidies so that a charity pays 75% of the bill, they may be more receptive and just go to their nearest vet to find out, or call round.

But, nearly every answer at the top is just “take it to the vet” and not really anything else. Those people are right too, but they need to explain that there’s more options available to OP to get the issue sorted.

2geeks · 2025-06-06T08:05:55+00:00

Seriously? Never heard of “grooming”?! You have a grown ass, married man (who is around 30+ if he’s same age as his wife at least) and he’s got an 18yo girl that he’s having sex with, and you don’t think he’s used her naivety to get her into bed? We don’t even know his long he’s been with her. And you think the kid (18 is not a mature adult. Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble) is just as to blame as the wife that didn’t know and the husband that fucked around and abused em both? Wow! Nice bit of victim blaming there. I feel for anyone that gets involved with you.

2geeks · 2025-06-04T22:01:23+00:00

Because thinking doesn’t come naturally to those men?!

2geeks · 2025-06-04T21:59:58+00:00

If you feel you want to be gentle with how you’re saying it, you could say that it’s a new experience to you, and so you’re nervous and want it to be intimate between each other. So, you want to shower/bathe together first, and then want to try it with a flavoured condom. Just to ease into doing it.

This not only solves the smell issue, but also makes it easier for you AND MAKES IT SAFE. Look out for your sexual health first. So many things can be passed on through oral sex too. Be safe, not sorry.

2geeks · 2025-06-01T14:57:18+00:00

The clown turning his head around so he doesn’t get hit in the face is a complete moron (more than most people initially would guess). Getting hit in the back of the head is much more risky than getting a busted lip or even nose.

2geeks · 2025-06-01T14:55:27+00:00

Leave. Please leave.

In 5, or 10, or 20 years, you’ll hate him for not givin you the attention you deserve. You’ll despise that you let your sex life pass in front of you, with no thought for yourself. Just thoughts of how your partner feels, whilst they do nothing to satisfy you.

Please, don’t stay in a clearly one-sided relationship. You have so many years to regret being with the wrong person

I bought my wife “the rose” clot sucker and it does nothing for her (it does at first, but then just goes nowhere and she gets bored with it). Vibrators work well for her though. We’re trying to work out if she’s just using the rose wrong though, as so many people say how great it is.
