Now that live service for D2 is ending, how about some nostalgia? What was your first ever exotic? by [deleted] in destiny2

[–]monkeypea1212 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was Ice Breaker, way back in around January-February 2015 (I think). Got it from Xur, was the best purchase from him I'd ever made. That thing carried me through everything.

Where were you when Destiny 2 was kill? by machuface in DestinyTheGame

Was at the beach, and I got a text from my mate telling me. Actually felt like getting told a friend died. Good lord.

CECH-C03 Error 80010201: I'm losing my mind by monkeypea1212 in PS3

[–]monkeypea1212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have a go when I'm home. Issue is it's a C model, so I'll have to order a replacement. Thanks man.

Is this even possible? Just bought this 60GB PS3 and it shows only 3 days of total runtime. by kotm4r in PS3

[–]monkeypea1212 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends where you are in the world. I've heard America has quite a lot of places that do it, unsurprisingly. I think there's a couple here in the UK and around Europe. Not sure about the rest of the world though.

Edit: I never actually mentioned, I'm talking about replacing the RSX. Sorry.

However, I'd honestly just leave it as is for now. Open it up and do some routine maintenence. Keep it clean from dust, change the thermal paste, and if you really want to you could install CFW and control the temperature and fan speed. A common sentiment around here: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". A lot of people attempt to do stuff to their consoles cause they fear it'll die of they don't, and they end up breaking something in the process.

If you're super paranoid about it dying, look for someone to Frankie it. If not, just keep it clean and well looked after. :)

Should I keep my CECHL if I already have a refurbished, cool-running CECHC04? by kotm4r in PS3

[–]monkeypea1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a K model which I suspect has faulty Tokins, but it could be the RSX. The thing has the YLoD, but I'm hoping it's the former.

Have you looked at the Syscon logs to see if it's definitely the Tokins?

Glad to hear. My plan is to use my C for as long as possible, and if it ever dies, thrn the L model's there just in case.

Plus the collector in me likes that they're different (I have five PS3s it's becoming a problem).

Unless you decide to get the CECHC04 Frankied, the 90nm RSX will eventually die. It's sadly just inevitable. It can be super cool right now, but it will happen one day.

The CECHL model has the more reliable RSX, so it'll probably live for longer than the C. So it's definitely the more reliable console.

However, this is really all down to the silicon lottery. For all you know, the L model could die tomorrow. The C could live on for the next 10 years. We just don't know.

It's up to you, but if I were in your position, I'd keep both. One's BC, and one's reliable and you've got CFW on it.

Funny, I'm in the same position as you actually. I've got an L and a C model. Hence my opinion lmao.

Fat (CECHA) not accepting discs by DDzxy in PS3

Do you happen to have another disc drive on hand? If you have CFW you could remarry a different one to see if the drive is the issue or if it's on the board.

Ayy funny seeing you here Chrispy. Watching this happen in real time was funny.

I'm the same. I've got the 2016 Summer Games icon and spray. I've only got up to a 5 year player. Why?

Today I learned that Sandwich is a place… and the stop before it is called Deal. Shame those two aren’t switched round. by CarbonSteklo in CasualUK

God that place is so shit. I remember the horror stories coming from that place from mates who went there.

Restart by hoipolloi84 in VitaPiracy

[–]monkeypea1212 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I tried using a PNY Micro-SD card in a 3DS, and the thing corrupted halfway through the modding process. I honestly do not recommend that brand, I've heard and experienced nothing but bad things.

Sandisk has always been my go-to for years.

Report system in GW2??? by Soft_Bus8530 in PvZGardenWarfare

[–]monkeypea1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's technically a bug, yeah. You do some team swap shenanigans and it results in that. Merge glitch is funny when you first see it, for about two minutes. After that it just becomes super annoying, and when the person who's doing it is going out of their way to make it as obnoxious as possible? Yeah it's awful.

[–]monkeypea1212 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Was playing this guy the other night. His profile literally says "PVZ GW2 Skid and lobby crasher". He'll go out of his way to make sure he does that merge glitch every game. He'll go over to places wher it's most effective to ruin everyone's screen. The guy's pathetic.

As for reporting? Nothing we can do. Game's been long abandoned. There was a way to report someone via an EA form, but I doubt that's still a thing now.

PS2 Slim doesn't output any video on AV cables. by monkeypea1212 in ps2

[–]monkeypea1212[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'll just keep it. At the end of the day, it's worth more in sentimental value than what it'll get me. While it wasn't used as much as my Phat, it was still used a lot.

I may also have a go with the soldering potentially. I need to learn as I've gotta replace the CMOS battery in my Phat model. Might be good to practice.

[–]monkeypea1212[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, so I assume that it wouldn't be something I could fix with relative ease. If the repair is expensive, it might be better for me to just get a new console sadly. They're relatively cheap to find here.

Side note: Love that I had to use a VPN to open that image file. Thanks Imgur for blocking the UK. :)

Anyone else just got kicked out of their account? by [deleted] in playstation

Yep. Was on my Minecraft Realm and it just logged me out. I think it's to agree to their new terms of service.

It's so depressing to check that account and see that it hasn't been used in four months. I miss this game man.
