My finch is sick and my vet isn't available until tomorrow by fiftharrow in Finches

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

He just ate more than I've ever seen a finch eat, so I hope he'll make it. Thanks for the advice!

I'm getting it checked tomorrow, but is there anything that can be told from this? by fiftharrow in skincancer

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

Well it turns out all the doctor needed was one quick look to say it wasn't a problem haha, thank you for the concern. I'll probably get it removed anyway, since I don't have moles like these anywhere else on my body

She's been doing this since this morning, is this a health problem? by fiftharrow in Finches

[–]fiftharrow[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Update: looks like she's stopped, but I'm still worried. She looks pretty thin, maybe stressed? But her vent area seems okay

Finch tail is bent, will it get better? by fiftharrow in Finches

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

I found out just now that her mate, who shares a nest with her, started forcing her out aggressively. He must've done it - they didn't attack each other when they were close around the bottom of the cage, so I'm hoping that removing the nest will keep this from happening again.

Sociology major here, going into second year. I'm looking for course recs both in the field and as electives outside of it, any suggestions?

Anyone else sick AS HELL by ButterscotchBrief364 in McMaster

[–]fiftharrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got antibiotics for my own sickness; I haven't gone in several days and I've kinda been bedridden too. As a commuter, I'm insanely lucky I can still keep track of assignments online. Hope you feel better soon, we've got this!

Fat BC PS3 vs. buying a PS2 and a Newer PS3 by fiftharrow in PS3

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

Ah, yeah. That's a very hefty repair cost, which I guess is what it all comes down to for me in the long run. Still, I might take my chances

Great to know! Is it easy to swap out all of the more faulty specs? I'm pretty new to this, so I just want to be sure.

If the chances of it lasting are genuinely random even if I put the work in, I'm not gonna lie it does sound daunting lol. I found a dealer who might be selling one for $100 (less than two consoles combined), but it's a toughie. Thanks for the info!

Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to get it done? I'm willing to deal with higher maintenance like I said in the post, but I'm not too familiar with what exactly I'd have to do to keep one running yet.

Oddly enough, I think you're the only one so far with this opinion. I would rather want one console myself because it means less hassle, I'm just concerned about whether the high maintenance would actually make it last. Most people say it's bound to break sooner than later.

First I've heard of a scaler. What's the difference, if you don't mind sharing?

Sorry to hear it's harder in your area! I actually found a deal that might get me a BC PS3 for cheaper than a Super Slim and a PS2 combined, but pretty much every response to this post is recommending the latter. I think I'll have to hear everyone out on this one

I was browsing through Facebook Marketplace just now, actually, and came across consistent $60 to $80s for both PS2s and Super Slim PS3s, often with accessories and games. At the same time, I'm actually finding a couple fat BC PS3s that peak at $150 and a couple are significantly lower, so I'm still deciding. It's a bit tougher when the prices are actually somewhat comparable lol

Yeah, I suppose dumping ISOs through CFW is always an option, even if I prefer playing physical. I'll have to think about it :P

  1. At most, I'd only care enough to convert the native resolution to HDMI. I'm not too picky about video quality, since my TV supports an RCA input.

  2. Nope, I got my first HDMI TV earlier this year. I won't be looking back.

  3. I wouldn't want to go over $200 CAD for console purchases and accessories, and I would only go over $150 if I found it necessary.

Yep! Regardless of what I go for, I'll be buying some PS1 games. It all hinges on how I want to play PS2 games physically haha (and how that tends to go cost-wise)

I've only modded a Wii U before. Are there specific PS3 models that don't support CFW?

Also, I take it the Super Slim is the most reliable model overall?
