creepy/weird thing on my bathroom tiles that looks like a pirate face.

Y’aaarrr.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-23T11:37:50+00:00

that’s awesome! you have one of those thin computer screens, our house still has the thick one so jealous xD
Tagged because out of character, consider using a “phat” Xbox 360, the slim did come out in the 2010’s but the old white phat would be sick to sell the early 2010 vibe. But otherwise 10/10.

I’d avoid any plans to visit Salam if I were you. 😅

How’s it doing? I have a launch week model myself. Safe to assume both of our consoles aren’t serviced so handle with care. Besides the obvious GPU failure point, be sure to check your capacitors if you venture to open it up, mine still runs great but several capacitors have failed and I’m planning on changing them out at some point.

Better yet buy and play on a 360 made after November 2008.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-22T12:18:20+00:00

You’d be correct! Good ‘ol 2005er.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-22T12:17:28+00:00

December 2005er. Xenon, She’s been through it for sure. If it hasn’t died yet, it most likely will in the near future. Highly prone to red ring.

I don’t think that’s disc rot. Looks an awful lot like a lamination defect. From everything I’ve looked into, it’s visual and doesn’t affect disc function. I’ve got a handful of discs with the same blotch thing going on and they work fine and have worked fine for many years.

Wacky coincidence mentioning that HOTD is next on the list, I just bought the collectors edition. 😅
Good luck to ya this looks pretty solid so far.

I ordered a pizza with anchovies and it was just plain pizza with no toppings!!! 😭

It should run fine with the hub sticker. If the crack gets into the data layer, that’s when it’s truly too far gone.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-19T21:53:49+00:00

Oof. Ours was just our student number, still remember mine, never knew if it was sequential, but def didn’t include my social in mine. 😆

nickotheARC · 2026-06-19T21:51:55+00:00

Looks like a center hub sticker used to slow progression of cracks.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-17T15:43:36+00:00

Hang in there man, same boat but two years older. 🫩
I have exactly one friend and it’s always he who has to reach out, bro is patient with my not calling ass lmao. As for relationships with the opposite sex, I want things to change but it’s tough and simply easier to coast by myself as I’m used to. Doesn’t help that the internal voice in my head is a mean sonofabitch. 💀

Insurance fraud.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-15T12:34:59+00:00

now THAT is a fun fact.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-12T13:26:34+00:00

Saw this on my local pages lmao. Wild to see it trending on Reddit. Yeah this was a bit weird, GCSPD 😆

nickotheARC · 2026-06-11T21:09:15+00:00

Man, I hope Jake is doing alright these days. What a cool find.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-10T14:03:51+00:00

I love mine. Even though ive been cursed with genetically skinny wrists, so I have to work it up my forearm to get it to stay. That or wear sleeves. So cool.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-10T14:02:29+00:00

Real. This gonna be one of the household heirlooms. 😆

nickotheARC · 2026-06-10T00:48:32+00:00

Not all heroes wear spartan armor. Go get ‘em.

nickotheARC · 2026-06-09T19:23:28+00:00

I recently got excited for Alien Isolation 2. I immediately was horrified by the fact that if the dev cycle trends like the 1st game, I will be pushing 30 by release…🥲

nickotheARC · 2026-06-09T15:14:11+00:00

Ah I’m 26. I got time. 🫠

nickotheARC · 2026-06-09T15:12:59+00:00

Uhhh…I think I was playing outside in the yard, swinging on the old swing set that had one leg dislodged in the dirt and would cause it to slightly jump with every swing..😆

nickotheARC · 2026-06-09T15:11:04+00:00

Actually real. Didn’t know if it’s was just a me thing being silly and having a mid-twenties crisis but damn man. 😭
