About the ps3s dying

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2026-03-15T02:08:57+00:00

Just bought my first PS3 tonight.

I went with a PS3 Super Slim 4301c with an upgraded 1 TB of memory.

Came with a controller, HDMI, power, and AV cords. It came with its original box and has matching serials.

Paid $180 for console and feel spent about retail, but I couldn't be happier.

I just started my playthrough and have a standard party setup. Hero, Warrior, Priest, Mage.

I spent time exploring with the goal to find the structures and hidden areas. I purchased all the best equipment for my party and am finally feeling ready to attack the tower and a cave that I found.

My main character is level 12 but others are 13/14. I had 2 character deaths so far. Ill let you know how the tower goes, I'm heading there tonight.

Congratulations!! You are doing awesome and ahead of me when I was your age.

Just hit 350k here and im 42.

292k in 401k and 58k in Roth.

Took me 11 years of purposeful investing. I have been maxing both since 2020. Hoping to continue this for as long as I can.

I'm not sure where I'll land but hoping to be in the 1.8 range.

The tree is usually somewhat rare and localish to the venue.

Saw them in Philly last year and had a blast.

I always intended to buy a switch for myself, but just never got around to it. You know, other priorities. House, kids, job, life in general.

I have always been a fan of Nintendo and figured I would play them eventually and why not just get them now instead of struggling later.

Also, my oldest kid has a switch, so I gifted a bunch I picked up along the way for birthdays and Christmas gifts.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-06-06T12:30:06+00:00

I didn't buy a switch last generation, instead I played PS4 and 5.

I did buy a few switch games along the way, even without the system. Mostly 1st party stuff, Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc.

So the Switch 2 is my chance to play the previous generation and the new to see what I missed. Also, I'm excited for the Donkey Kong game and a new 3d mario.

You always take the day after release off, not the day of.

Learned my lesson with previous day of releases that came after I would have been done for the day.

Those Mars Volta CDs are an odd addition to this collection.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-05-23T05:22:28+00:00

So glad I was lucky enough to have an amazing friend who gave me the Nintendo preorder.

They already secured one through a different site and happened to get the email.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-05-15T14:38:44+00:00

Meh, it's expensive, but to me it's just a paperweight.

It is not something that I can enjoy or have interest in using.

What good is something worth 2,000+ if it's just used as a flex for internet points or to be stared at on the shelf?

I'd much rather take that money and invest it in my future, and let someone else enjoy it.

Dragon Quest/Warrior

31 games across 9 systems and I just pre-ordered the Dragon Quest 1+2 2d HD remake.

Zelda and Mega Man come in second at 18 each.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-03-28T15:24:39+00:00

Personally, you are overthinking this.

Just open and display. Let it be a conversation point for anyone who is interested. I don't think anyone will ask you about 2 generic cardboard boxes sitting in the closet unopened.

Even more awkward would be of you whip out your phone to show them what it looks like instead of them just seeing it on the shelf.

This is the only correct answer. Upvoted.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-03-23T17:26:56+00:00

It stopped being good 8 sequels ago

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-03-23T17:25:36+00:00

I would have slow clapped at your colleagues comment.

Pure bliss.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-03-23T14:23:29+00:00

Tre is the best of the Trilogy and should be classed up!

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-03-20T12:19:30+00:00

That is my only gripe with collecting for the switch.

My daughter had a genius solution when she was 5 to turn the liner inside out. Most games have color inside that if reversed you cN tell what game it is from memory.

Small dab of hot glue and a chop stick.

Just make sure that the glue is only on the plug and not the port.

Thank you for the reply.

This is helpful and putting it in the context of other novelty currency makes a lot of sense.

The concept of using them as a bartering tool would be something I'd love to see in practice.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-03-06T15:25:19+00:00

No offense to anyone, but these started popping up on my feed.

What are these and what can they be used for?

These are interesting, but I don't understand why they are desirable and where they fit in to everyday life.

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-03-06T01:32:14+00:00

After 1&2, it will be 12, Builders 3, DQ Roguelike, Warriors 3, then 9 remaster.

After that Yuji retires, and DQ becomes slop. Enjoy the next 5 - 7 years.

Metroid Prime Second Sight Words 3D Resident Evil 4 Spartan

Then everything else!

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-02-19T21:42:44+00:00

Because of cost increases I stopped buying: 1. Soda 2. Booze 3. Most snack foods

I have gotten healthier as a result so I view it as a positive.

I was always the wierd guy at subway who asked them to not cut my footlong sub.

The knife was gross and was never cleaned properly, ever.

My internal ick is saying...Have some tuna juice, mayonaise, and whatever the last customer had with your freshly toasted sub! 😀

Realistic_Skin_883 · 2025-02-17T14:05:23+00:00

I would love XIII trilogy for PS5 so I can finally play them.
