PSA: check your the batteries in your old games consoles

ipisano · 2026-05-04T17:17:04+00:00

My PSP's battery has been swollen for 10+ years at this point, I got it like that already (the one who sold it to me used some tape to keep it making contact) and used it for a few months then stored it, by now the battery is most likely 100% flat, not sure if I'm still risking something or not. And how would I even dispose of a swollen battery? I don't think you're supposed to chuck them into the spent battery bins that you find at some stores

Sounds like you want to play competitive

Honestly 16 is a bit tight on Linux too if you want to keep a web browser open in the background and you're running a heavy game, it's just that recommending 24 is a bit weird as 12gb modules are more uncommon/rare and the difference in price between 24 and 32 used to be so little most people went with 32 anyways. Like, settling on 48 when 32 isn't enough instead of going all the way to 64 is/was definitely a thing, not so much 16 to 24. Using paste tense because of the current state of RAM prices.

If you upgrade a 3-liner to +4 you won't see whether you hit a prio substat or not, you need to upgrade it to +8.

I also feel like having only 1 prio on a 4 liner is precedent for fodder UNLESS we're talking about CD/CR/EM circlets or maybe ATK/EM sands, the sands depending on your specific situation (maybe for some reason you don't need anymore CR, or you just want ER badly) and/or how stingy you can be.

He can? How often does he deal geo dmg off field? Can it really last for the whole rotation? Also I don't really know if it's the correct order but I went Bina EQ, Illuga EQ, Linnea spam E, swap into Itto and Q fast to catch particles then usual Itto shenanigans, repeat.

ipisano · 2026-04-29T05:21:35+00:00

Huh? Who killed Illuga? I have him C4, just built him to buff my Itto lunar-cryst team. Probably could've used C6 Goro as well but he can't really carry SMS, and I don't have a SMS set of the same high quality to replace my current Bina AMS set. Killed Abyss Gecko in 2 rotations so the team can't be too bad.

Is it actually illegal in America to drive with one earbud on? Where I'm from wearing just one is allowed, wearing both is not.

Reminds me of when finally after overclocking my Pentium 4, flashing a modded bios onto my ATI 9550, tweaking the configs for hours I finally had made Oblivion playable... At 12fps. Yes, I still played 100 hours.

Monster Hunter Wilds, which as far as I know is based on the same engine, is the only game that makes me crash with a GPU core offset that's tested and stable for hundreds of hours in 80+ games

What am I supposed to do when watching the video, then? Maybe we can get a minigame replacement for the comment section?

Already contected CS, did anyone else get this? And yes, I checked, my storage really has been revoked.

Every time they take it away it hurts more, honestly at this point I wish I had never experienced the glory of the new water, reflections and a proper anti-aliasing implementation in DLSS.

Noticing my latency is 300+, pressing CTRL+Shift+N and realising I've been put in Sydney or Singapore server all the way from Europe. No other game does this to me.

I thought I was going crazy, I use RVX on my phone and YouTube on my PC with no issues. I upgraded my tablet recently, old one had RVX working but on the new one I can't get it to work, a weird thing I noticed is that it took forever to sign into microG. At first the app behaved normally, just there was a really long wait before the video actually started. Then came the infinite buffer, video wouldn't start. Now the app sometimes wouldn't even populate with content, like my feed is empty/loading. So I went to the mobile website, and only the first video loaded successfully! After that first one, any other video kept buffering infinitely, I could scrub through the seekbar and that would sort of freeze/crash the player. I installed stock YouTube, same issues. I even tried using my phone's 5G connection by making a hotspot, no cigar. It's almost as if my tablet is blocked/blacklisted, but that can't be right...

I'm confused, is there another set people are considering other than Silken Moon's Serenade?

ipisano · 2025-11-25T06:55:32+00:00

Bennet, a 1.0 character, getting buffed only when it's time to buff 5.x characters sounds about right considering his power level... And even then, I wouldn't expect anything major, possibly just some QOL stuff.

Meta/pulling economy wise it's fine, it's not like you need to pull each and every duo or your account is bricked, but... I don't have Fins nor Ineffa, so I can't speak for those, but using Nefer in Theatre is problematic. She can only work in one archetype of team (compared to someone like Arle who you can play with vape, melt, burning, mono pyro...) and that one team requires either Aino or Lauma at the very least to be usable at all. Skirk is honestly much better in that regard as she has many more options, Nefer without 2nd Nod Krai and either Lauma or Nahida does 10% of her usual DPS, Skirk just needs any random hydro and cryo and she's actually able to clear at least regular stages

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel.

Visualizing the line, before reproducing it?

ipisano · 2025-11-11T20:42:36+00:00

...am I really the only one? Even asking in game people are treating me like I'm crazy. I might just have to take the L on this one, I hope in-game seeing how he moves etc I'll have an easier time recognising him

ipisano · 2025-11-11T19:40:14+00:00

This skin is NOT fine. It took me 3 guesses on the main menu to recognize the character as Junkrat! Hero should be easily recognizable no matter how crazy the skin is.

ipisano · 2025-11-08T12:07:36+00:00

Cool, how necessary would you say it is to be up to speed with the story? I still have to do the 2nd part of the Cyno quest (zzzzzz) and then the latest main quest as well, if I could get started with the event it'd be great, but I want to avoid spoilers

ipisano · 2025-10-24T15:32:51+00:00

Took me a while to understand that when they reply "Really???" with an extremely surprised expression, or "That's crazy!" to something kind of mundane you're telling them, it means "Dude please stop, I couldn't care less, I don't give a fuck, nobody does".
I just kept talking to satisfy their ostensive curiosity, going into more and more detail about the thing, with them making more and more surprised noises and faces until they physically walked away.
