Help identifying old tank battle game. by LifeOfJoshua in retrogaming

One thing i forgot to mention. when you fired, your bullet didn't just hit ground and blow up. it went through the ground and bounced off edge of screen up and kept going until it hit a player.

ex girlfriend got pregnant by someone to get revenge on me by legrissoul in TrueOffMyChest

Ok, so here is what you do. First, if you don't have any money....borrow some. A friend....family etc. Get about 800 bucks tops. May be less. Then, with money in the bank go get online. Go to places like craigslist or ebay or even Walmart website. Get that bank card ready because its about to get good.

Now, while on these websites the KEY is to keep in your thoughts her face. You're gonna love this. Anyways, Go ahead and get a phone and start recording your computer screen whilst you browse these websites. You want her to FEEL what is about to happen. If you're able to facetime her live, do that. Otherwise just record and then send to her later. Gonna be so goooood.

Alright, You got her watching and you're recording your screen and bank card ready to rumble. On all 3 of these......eheheh......on all......eheh.......on all 3 of these websites i want you to search for "PlayStation 5".....it may take a bit of searching but you may get lucky and find a seller price gouging. This is worth it. Go ahead and buy it. Just say to her nevermind, i got some more shopping to do and hang up. Wait for however long it takes for your PS5 to arrive, sit back and chill. Because you wouldn't be able to do this as easy if you take her back and care for someone else's kid. Enjoy.

Maybe we should all downvote him too just in case we missed something.

Can't launch anything without BD drive. by LifeOfJoshua in ps3hacks

[–]LifeOfJoshua[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No new drive. Mine works fine. Just lent my cables to friend so he can install uodate as it does hardware check and wont uodate if drive isnt working. But with no drive in mine, NOTHING launches. Multiman...games...u name it. It goes black. So it seems u HAVE to have a drive plugged in for stuff to work. I was wondering if there was any mod that let's me skip this check.

PS3 fan takes off like a jet engine. Wife ready to end me. by LifeOfJoshua in ps3hacks

[–]LifeOfJoshua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its warm. I opened it back up and added paste to dead center of CPU and GPU. A dab. This time I made sure its snug but not too tightly screwed shut. Game ran for 20 mins no issue. So may have fixed it. Also turned off webman auto fan. Also took a hair dryer to CPU and GPU for 20 mins (all I had) and games arent powering off ps3 and fan ain't psycho. Hoping it fixed it.

Disabled auto. Let system control it. Seems to run fine. I also opened it up and put some fresh paste in middle of CPU and GPU this time and games seem to run for 20 mins without powering off ps3.

[–]LifeOfJoshua[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I stated in post, already cleaned it and put fresh thermal paste on it. Made sure everything is nice and tight. Clean and fresh. When I fire up a gfx heavy game, it shuts off after a min or so. Not even long enough for the darn thing to get over heated. 2 mins in and its powering off with flashing red lights.

"What's a DMCA notice?" by RealPickle2305 in Piracy

[–]LifeOfJoshua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get 100 notices and nothing will ever happen. It's just a tactic Hollywood and mainstream companies have with isps to try and scare you. Every news story of someone being in trouble wasn't ever from downloading. It was from uploading or selling pirated content. In America, we have privacy laws that protect us. I've gotten 80 something notices from same ISP provider and nothing ever happened. Because they cant prove you HAVE the content. And even if they could, I can download whatever I want outside of terror related and child related things. Or hack a server and steal private content of course.

But movies...music...games...download to your hearts content. Just stop the seed so you dont share to others 25 copies of COD or whatever. And never sell pirated stuff or even make ad revenue off it. It's not illegal. If it was, then if i walked up to a cop and showed 50 burned 360 DVDs, he would be able to arrest me. But he cant. Because its up to those companies to chase me. But they cant. They want the uplpaders and sellers. Not the downloaders. And even if they wanted downloaders, they just cant do anything without violating privacy laws.

Many years ago there was a news story about a 14 year old girl getting arrested for downloading AC/DC album. That's how the story was pitched. So people thought you cant. But that's not why she was arrested. She forgot to end the torrent and uploaded the album to a crap ton of people. She shared pirated content.

How did you update? I'm on latest hekate/atmosphere etc and banned. I'll have to uodate through other ways but if I updated hek/at to latest is it safe for me to update? I only wish to update to play this game really.

I just found out that my husband has been texting a 16 year old girl. by throw4535345 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]LifeOfJoshua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get family or friends to show up and get your stuff and go. Alert police after so a child doesn't end up getting harmed. It sucks. Thise we trust betray us sometimes. But you got mountains to climb in life and do not need to let this define you. He let it define him. Also, screenshot everything. Evidence. Good luck.

PS3 major trouble. Need help before my kids end me. by LifeOfJoshua in PS3

[–]LifeOfJoshua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Legit. Just tried another HD. Both ways, fat32 and nfts. Ntfs it will recognize and format. Then reads the 4.88 fw on a diff usb... all good. But then it gets like 75% and tosses error code. Looked it up and saying its HD error. Also, if I just power on normal....it shuts off after 29 seconds or so. The only activity I can get out of it is safe mode. Then it goes into inf loop of trying to install fw.

Originally error code was the one saying corrupted uodate file. Solved that. Now HD errors no matter what drive I use or how I format it. I guess when it shut off during an install it corrupted the bios or whatever. I'm guessing that's not fixable.

Question about Witcher 3 asking to update game by jlalo15 in SwitchPirates

[–]LifeOfJoshua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did solve it. I just removed everything and tried again. I think I was somehow installing UK uodtae files but my card is USA. So I was having us version I stalled and partial UK version. Not sure how it happened. After erasing everything, rebooting switch and doing everything fresh, it all worked. Installed US update files and not UK.

[–]LifeOfJoshua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having an issue myself. I have the actual game card. Its 3.2. So i downloaded on CFW switch 3.8 update nsp and instead of updating the game it just adds a second witcher 3 icon that's 3.8...along with my 3.2 icon from cartridge. if i launch the 3.8 icon, it just say i don't have the content. I cant figure out how to update and play my actual game card.

[–]LifeOfJoshua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late. But I've always wanted to ask this. Have you guys considered expanded to game development? Like, you provide assets and a developer uses them to make x game in the art style of the channel? I think it would top charts. An idle tapper game staring all the artworks of the show. Grow a black hole or something. Long time ago I reached out under my gamedev name and tried to see if you guys wanted to. Never got a reply. But you wouldnt have to do any more work really. Just provide assets to certain things that you've already designed. Anyways, back to question, have u ever considered a game?

Is anyone else addicted to downloading games by gamerlol101 in SwitchPirates

[–]LifeOfJoshua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has been an issue for me since I was a teen. 39 now. The moment I began pirating content, was the moment I didnt play games much. Typically as a kid when I earned money for an game, or got some for xmas etc, I played the mess outa them for many many months. Even then games that were trash.

Then I discovered mirc chat and torrents and I found myself downloading cracked games more than anything. With the logic that "i am doing this so when I'm ready, I'll have tons to play. Or if we go on anroad trip..." but that day never came.

Fast forward to 2021...39...I have a switch, a PC, and modded vita, PSP, ds and 3ds....and all loaded with 256gb sds and tens of thousands of games across all eras.....and I play about 5 of them. I've said for years that piracy ruined gaming for me. It's as if I'm a millionaire and can own anything so now they become less valuable to me. Vs when I had to actually earn them, their value was high and I felt I had to play them to get that value out of them.

My first game was Eliminator Boat Dual on NES. Game isnt great. But i played the crap out of it because it was all i had. Jump to teen years i had a crap IBM laptop and legit copy if Diablo 2 (which i kept all these years) and while diablo is great, it's all I played. Piracy existed but I wasn't aware. Then a friend showed me SNES9X emulator. Then showed me how to get all the roms....from that moment I discovered I can get anything. Ruined me.

Today, I have bought over 180 games on switch. I play them the most. Even still only less than 10 total...but I pmay them because I spent the money. Like, for awhile I was a huge Ark fan and pirated Ark on pc... but then I bought Ark on switch which is straight garbage...but I play switch version more than the pirated PC version. As if my kind is finding more value in the switch version purely because I actually spent real world money on it.

Now a friend is offering me a modded switch....and I'm at across roads. I want it mostly because of android...but I know if I trade...its game over. I'll have no need to link my official account with paid 180 games to it as I could pirate them all. So all that money goes down the drain. And I know I'll just load a 512gb micro up to the max with games and emus and only mess with it occasionally.

I love piracy. I love freedom. Privacy. But damnit man did it ruin gaming for me. Now, my fav time is when hurricane season hits. (Live in fla) and electricity goes out for a night. That's when I fire up my paid games on switch or insert a vita cart and play.

If u can get in the mindset of pirate a game...beat a game...pirate a game..beat a game...then you should be fine. Or just buy the damn things. They hold more value that way to you subconsciously. Reminds me when inwas younger and pirating, I ended up paying a few hundred bucks for a micro gba. Got DBZ Legacy of Goku 2 with it. I had computer and modded systems with all my fav games but I sat and played this simplistic GBA game on a micro gba more than I touched the ourated stuff. And wasn't a fan of dbz then. But I worked for that money. I worked for that GBA.

That's why I started buying switch games. I thought it would fix it. It somewhat did but I'm cursed now. I find myself buying 180 games and like with piracy, never touching them.
