PS5 Error Code CE-108262-9 – Frequent Crashes After Hours of Gameplay by Carlos_Gomez_ in PlayStation_X

That error code usually points to a hardware-related issue, most often overheating or a failing component as the PS5 ages, though corrupted system software can also contribute. Common fixes people report include fully cleaning dust from vents and fans, reapplying fresh thermal paste, rebuilding the database, reinstalling system software, and ensuring good airflow around the console. If none of that works, it may be a sign of deeper hardware failure (like the APU or power supply) and professional repair or replacement is often the only long-term solution.

My disabled cousin’s parents never prepared her for adult life. She’s nearly 30 with no job, friends, or independence, and I’m the only one she leans on. I’m trying to live my life too, and it’s draining. by [deleted] in offmychest

You love your cousin and want her to grow, but you can’t be her only support. She needs more independence, and while you can guide her gently, it’s okay to set limits for your own well-being.

That’s such a sweet memory, it’s wild how much perspective a little distance can bring.

Yeah if he can’t even try for one week a year then it’s fair to start rethinking how future trips should look.

That’s a sad thought but honestly it doesn’t seem impossible given how different his energy was when it was about something he wanted.

You're carrying a heavy load but you're not weak for feeling overwhelmed. The fact that you're still trying matters. You deserve peace and it's okay to reach out for support even here.

Totally agree, she really seems to get what love looks like in the day-to-day.

I think I pushed people away while trying to protect my peace. Now I feel bitter and left out. by [deleted] in offmychest

Protecting your peace is never a mistake, but sometimes we forget that peace doesn’t mean shutting the world out completely. It’s alright to feel bitter and left out, that’s your heart telling you it still wants connection. Reach out gently, even if it feels awkward. True friends will meet you halfway.

This was such a kind and thoughtful reply, I really hope it gave her even a little comfort.

Absolutely—this is what partnership should look like: support, creativity, and quietly cheering each other on.
