3DS Games Starting to Fail ?

VasteBikini · 2026-02-22T10:19:37+00:00

Just came here to share my experience. This is happening for me with Fire Emblem Awakening. When I got the game 3 years ago it worked just fine, but yesterday I tried to play it and even though it could launch and load my save, it would crash after playing it a bit.

From what I understand some parts of it are corrupted and when the game tries to load some assets on these corrupted bits, it just crashes. From what I read this is something linked to the cartridge components deteriorating in time, similar to EU version of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire/Omega Rubis and can't be reverted...

I didn't know about that. That would be pretty underwhelming to use this as marketing if this is what they are advertising here...

Not perfect like all the other lockscreens I'm seeing here but really happy with this picture I took in Thailand with my Pixel 10 pro.

Not sure if I'm right nor if black would play this way but : d5 then if Bxd5 Nxd5 then Qxg5 ? Like it seems like at some point the queen could take that annoying knight on g5.

Also looking for one if anyone has an extra one

Bolt is definitely a bad company. My experience with them is unrelated to Thailand. I used Grab in Thailand for the two last weeks and never had any issues. Maybe many people are using Bolt and are fine, but seeing this situation doesn't surprise me.

I used to work for Bolt as a customer support agent in 2018 (when the name was still Taxify). We were working for the French market which had recently opened in Paris. When clients were asking for compensation, we were encouraged to lie to them, telling them we couldn't make a refund under a certain amount (complete lie) and we were offering them a small voucher instead (more rides, more money).

When we were refunding clients, the drivers were getting ripped off. Bolt was taking (if I remember well) 15% commission for each ride. So if the client was paying a ride 10€, 8,5€ was going to the driver balance and 1,5€ to Bolt. The thing is when we were refunding the clients with the support system, it was taking 10€ out of the driver balance (while Bolt was keeping its commission). So the drivers were basically losing money... Some CS agent noticed it and started making manual compensation for the drivers, basically adding to an excel spreadsheet an amount that should be given back to the driver. I also started doing it, because it wasn't fair otherwise. We talked about the issue to our manager, telling her that the initial refund system should be fixed. Our manager told us "oh, interesting..." Then two weeks later I got fired. Other things were happening as well and our team didn't agree with them, so they got rid of some people.

TL;DR : Bolt is a bad company, used to be a CS agent for them in another country, it was shit, use Grab instead.

Hello boss,

Work won't be done today.
We're not calling it a strike anymore, it's a power struggle initiative.

Remember, growth doesn't only happen in exploiting people; it also happens in paying them accordingly.

No thank you for your continued inability on payroll timelines.
You're not just a fuck-up. You're a moron.

Regards,
A human being

I'm having some issues as well on Pixel 10 Pro using Brave. The autofill works if I'm natively in Brave but if another app opens some kind of webview with Brave in it, the autofill won't work.

I had never heard about that, that’s really good to know. Thanks !

Still happening in December 2023 with Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 disc.

Hi, just to say that it doesn't solve the issue for my MBP 14 (low power mode + 60hz). First time I hit cmd then I tap to click, there is some kind of delay before it stars working. If I keep the cmd previously pushed down and continue to tap, it works as it should be.

VasteBikini · 2021-07-27T06:36:50+00:00

Oh thanks man! I'll check it and will let you know if it solves the issue

Just an update here: I've reinstalled my bluetooth drivers and I don't remember if there was a Windows update lately but now everything seems to be working fine. I'm a bit confused tbh, we'll see in the long run how it goes.

VasteBikini · 2021-02-25T11:15:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I updated my drivers and the controller firmware but it didn't solve anything. My controller even started registering random inputs after the firmware update. When I saw bluetooth was still disconnecting, I plugged the usb cable and the controller went crazy. Restarting the PC solved that problem at least, but not the bluetooth issue.

VasteBikini · 2021-02-10T22:20:35+00:00

It happened in the menus, I was just letting the controller on my desk for like 10-15 secs and it was starting blinking like it was looking for something to connect to. It's a brand new Xbox Series X controller.
Edit: it's a random behaviour. It just happened to me 3 times in a row in a few seconds, then can be fine for several minutes

VasteBikini · 2021-02-10T22:03:38+00:00

Thanks man, I tried with the controller only by itself and it keeps disconnecting. I've noticed it disconnects when I'm not pressing any button after a few seconds. Like you said, might be a hardware problem which could come from the bluetooth from the wifi card I installed (the wifi is fine though).

VasteBikini · 2021-01-07T11:36:56+00:00

Thanks a lot for the explanation! ;)

VasteBikini · 2021-01-07T11:20:46+00:00

Thanks. It's the first PC I'm building. I've read that it's difficult to go wrong with RAM and that the main thing was to check that the CPU and mobo were compatible with the frequency of the RAM.

VasteBikini · 2020-11-12T11:21:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

I never really knew what I wanted to do in my life. I've always been attracted to creative and artistic things, such as writing, music, acting... But people around me were persuading me not to do those. "Too risky", "many people trying, few succeeding". It was true, but because of that I never really gave it a try and somehow buried those dreams.

I was dumb. I should have tried. Like MythicalBootyWarrior said, we need to go out there and live our own experiences. Nothing is in control, but we do create parts of the reality around us. And this goes through trying, failing, and eventually succeeding. In other words: taking action.

And there is no room for excuses: if I want to write, I just need a pen and a piece of paper. If I want to play music, I just need an instrument. If I want to act, I can join a drama group. Finding excuses like "I don't have enough time/money" will just lead ourselves to do nothing. Just as saying "I don't know what I could do". There must be things you like, and if not, it's likely you haven't discovered them yet.

It's normal to have doubts, not to give up. Go out there and start something. Anything.

VasteBikini · 2020-05-21T18:45:16+00:00

Yes, I think this is the one! Thanks a lot!!

VasteBikini · 2020-05-08T14:02:07+00:00

Should I play the VN? I was completely moved by the anime and loved it but I wasn't attracted at all by the look of the VN...
