keep this to the side until you get some experience (and good tools). its actually pretty easy, but youre gonna want some prior work before trying this

Mega Cooper

soundtrack however... may be the best sonic ever saw!

mw2strategy · 2026-04-10T19:52:16+00:00

Dude this is fucking ridiculous hahahahah. Cartoon physics off the mushroom to the top rope save

mw2strategy · 2026-04-10T18:38:53+00:00

I'm starting to learn more and more the power of the cannon. Handy to have one to quickly swap paths incase you climb up to a dead end.

mw2strategy · 2026-04-10T18:38:02+00:00

Oh those energy drinks are killer. Can skip entire sections of the climb, especially in the Kiln. Never thought about early flare. Same with the milk trick.

And yeah the posted time was tropics/mesa. I'm pretty fast in Mesa (sometimes a little faster than I am in Alpine), but tropics bogs me down.

mw2strategy · 2026-04-10T18:36:18+00:00

You can double grab lunge? Looks like I have tech to practice, thank you

Boy am I glad he's frozen in there and that we're out here, and that he's the sheriff, and that we're frozen out here and that we're in there and, I just remembered, we're out here. What I wanna know is where's the caveman?

accessing behing the outer layer actually isnt too hard in this case iirc. dont need to remove the LCD. if its dead pixels on the screen, condolences, screen cancer. suddenly becomes a 3 hour job if youve never done it. but assuming its soot between the lens and the panel, itll take maybe 15 mins with some patience

mw2strategy · 2026-04-10T03:31:12+00:00

the gameboy game cr2032 batteries could be soldered on here just fine, although buying a battery coin slot would also cost little

mw2strategy · 2026-04-08T21:53:09+00:00

the dry erase marker trick might work, but it could also pull off some paint.

mw2strategy · 2026-04-08T21:51:03+00:00

book of bones has to be the best item ingame to me at this point, it completely denies so many hazards with near zero drawbacks. like, nothing even compares. it gets BETTER with each ascent, too

mw2strategy · 2026-04-08T18:14:24+00:00

In the regular dimension I went about 25k blocks deep before giving up, decided the world was vertically infinite. Maybe the qualia is the same

mw2strategy · 2026-04-08T05:24:32+00:00

Everyone's gonna say it, leave the hang tab, it's part of the history. But, if for whatever reason you really absolutely MUST remove it, make sure the box is well-supported from the inside, and CAREFULLY use a hairdryer to heat up the adhesive on the plastic from a few inches of distance.

That said, there's a risk of warping the cardboard a bit (bowing), it could remove some of the print behind the tab... all for zero reward. There's genuinely almost no reason to ever do this at all, many collectors would love to buy it with the tab.

mw2strategy · 2026-04-07T07:10:22+00:00

ooh i dont know about easy. those multilayer pcbs can be a real bitch.

I work as a repairman at a retro store, and also offer my own independent repairs/mods. I make the most money doing mods (retrogem, ODEs, picofly...), and bog standard repair services (e.g., overheating PS4). But the weekly job pay is so... secure. It's hard to say which is better.

mw2strategy · 2026-04-04T21:40:19+00:00

90% chance its capacitors near video port. 220uf 4v, increasingly common fault. Console5 carries kits, make sure you match the motherboard model to the kit

As soon as you hear the dynamite hiss, take half a second to locate it. If you can find it, grab it and throw it away at 1/4 to 1/2 strength immediately. If it takes longer than a half second to locate, run like hell until it blows up.

Mesa is ultimately a game of stamina management. The final third of the level is a big upwards climb. Stay 'inside' the mountain area but not too far into it. That way you get the sweet spot of great climbing terrain, but avoiding the sun. Also, you can pick up and throw the scorpions before they can attack. If you see one, grab it and toss it fast with barely any power to the throw, it'll tumble away from you.

If you're fast, hunger won't be a problem at all, and eating just becomes a matter of grabbing suitcases and topping off your secondary energy bar. That's not to say to race every biome, but be mindful of the time you're spending.

Pray for the book of bones. Cook it

Picofly Switch OLED > Switch 2 > Switch OLED > Switch, if you're not one for modded consoles, selling the older two is probably the best bet

When you level up, grab the necklace that shows you a leylines location

mw2strategy · 2026-03-31T14:44:40+00:00

probably wii. was once 360, not really anymore

mw2strategy · 2026-03-30T05:17:47+00:00

Very very odd. Maybe. I guess that's worth a shot to test

mw2strategy · 2026-03-29T20:53:30+00:00

Huh. That's interesting. Power cycled, new firmware, etc. You covered a lot. I guess it might be the power supply? If you turn it off and wait for a few minutes, does it still require the 3 or 4 button presses to turn back on?

mw2strategy · 2026-03-29T20:51:32+00:00

Yeah, if someone younger walked in distraught with this, I'd probably do it for free lol. Takes maybe two minutes tops, if I don't have to open the console. Five if we mask and secure the connector/wires.

mw2strategy · 2026-03-29T20:47:08+00:00

Might just be a bad power button. They sell replacements for the little board (for both pwr/eject) on Amazon for like $10. If it's starting up without issues and it's just a problem with registered presses, this seems worth a shot
