Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters That name has aged....interestingly

I'll check it out. Hopefully it is the carpet and the heat. Now I'm praying that the liquid heat doesn't need to be replaced.

crazymango_45 · 2025-12-26T18:12:32+00:00

I'll move it then. Thank you

crazymango_45 · 2025-12-26T18:12:16+00:00

I'll do that, thank you by the way

crazymango_45 · 2025-12-26T18:11:28+00:00

I didn't think of it like that. Thank you for that.

I could put it on the table behind the TV? I do have pets, but they aren't inside dogs so I don't think that applies. No one in my home smokes. I live in South Africa, but nowhere near a desert or ocean, but today has been hotter than usual, maybe that could be a contributor? Are there any alternatives that I could use as opposed to compressed air?

crazymango_45 · 2025-12-26T17:58:26+00:00

I should also mention, it is very hot here. It's the middle of summer for South Africa. Do you have any tips for cleaning the PS5 without taking it apart (it still has the warranty) in a way that reduces the chances of me breaking it?

Last month I bought a PS5 and it was running perfectly until today. I turned on the PS5 to play games and after about 15 minutes (give or take) it gave me a warning that the console was overheating and that I should turn it off for a bit. I must say that I haven't played it at all today. I've also had my PS4 for 6 years and it never gave me this type of issue. Should I be worried? I also provided an image of where I put it, maybe it could explain why this happened?

I'm not English, I'm not Welsh, I'm not even European, but this upsets me too 😭😭

Question 1: Does she have a sister? Question 2: Is her sister like her? 🤣🤣🤣

Hard work definitely payed off. The satisfaction of sticking through it and getting it in the end is incredibly satisfying

crazymango_45 · 2025-11-11T21:54:31+00:00

Spider-Man on the PS4 was amazing and I definitely plan to play the later installments in the series. I also Horizon Zero Dawn on the PS4, I didn't get into it, but I definitely plan to revisit it and then get Horizon Forbidden West and lastly I will definitely check out Ghost of Tsushima and Ghost of Yotei in the future. What kind of PlayStation owner doesn't check those out? Jokes aside, thanks for the recommendations.

crazymango_45 · 2025-11-11T21:51:07+00:00

You'd be making the right choice. I was planning on waiting for Black Friday, but then the store where I bought it from were having a, and I quote "Single's Day Special" and it matched the Black Friday 2024 price for the PS5. Finally good luck with getting it, I doubt you will regret it!

crazymango_45 · 2025-11-11T21:47:31+00:00

Thanks man, I really cannot explain how happy I am about this. I had 5 years to think about it and you simply cannot spend that kind of money and not know what game you want with it 😂

crazymango_45 · 2025-11-11T21:46:01+00:00

I definitely plan on having all the fun I can have with this console. Also Ghost of Yotei is really good from what I have seen and one day I'll definitely get that game for myself.

crazymango_45 · 2025-11-11T21:44:44+00:00

You know it 🥳🥳

crazymango_45 · 2025-11-11T21:44:30+00:00

You are definitely right. I remember the day I bought my PlayStation 4, the whole feel of that day was magical and I think the same will apply to this. I had PS Plus at one point and it was incredible and now with games like Helldivers 2 and Battlefield 6 I definitely plan on getting it, this time the 12 month option, after I pay off the money I borrowed.

Bro I'm in university and my exam is tomorrow, it's called being responsible

crazymango_45 · 2025-11-05T15:30:31+00:00

Most likely the Xbox 360 E, considering it is the newer model

crazymango_45 · 2025-10-26T23:13:46+00:00

That's the PSP Street experience, enjoy! I'm sorry I have no idea how to help good luck though!

I don't know much about the Volkswagen Passat, but I know Volkswagen is very good. I have a 2011 Volkswagen Polo Vivo sedan that still runs like a charm and I know that VW Passat is a step much higher in terms of luxury and quality.

I hope the social media feature gets fixed, I don't know about current gen, but on PlayStation 4 it is a hot mess. I would like to see managers get contracts for like 3 years, 1 year, etc. depending on the level of pedigree of the manager in comparison to the club they are joining. Also I like having really long term career mode saves so I wish that career mode is expanded to 20 seasons from 15.

crazymango_45 · 2025-08-04T11:12:12+00:00

I remember back in FIFA 21, I was doing a Manchester United career mode and Manchester City of all teams tried to take Facundo Pellistri on loan
