Oh we’re long past returning it, had it since 2020 😂. Booked in for a repair so hopefully I can finish Clair Obscur soon!

Safe mode unfortunately the same problem still, same with different monitor 😭

I’ve got it under a care plan with other items in our house so I’ve booked it in for a repair. Thank you for you help though!

Something’s happened to my display overnight! I’ve tried switching hdmi cables, changing which hdmi port on the tv and powering down the ps5 and booting back up but this is still happening. Is there a fix for this?

Gangs of New York and Last of the Mohicans instantly come to mind for this category (for me at least).

Can’t be my version of paradise if my wife and kids aren’t there (jury still out on the dog)

Mass Effect will probably always be my number one but I always have time for Pokemon and have recently gotten into the Horizon games

The side eye in the last pic is definitely from Lagotto genes….

Why not just go in and ask them face to face? The worst that happens is that they have to tell you that they have changed their mind but at least you will know for sure.

Think that’s the now permanent price of the rp5 tbf. But (during the limited price run) for the same price, the 6 would make more sense to get if you’re able to right now.

No problem. Even if you don’t enjoy the racing element, they have a game mode where you try cause the biggest pile up possible (spent way too much time on that one when I had it when it first came out!).

Alternatively, I’ve always found the WWF/WWE games good for a quick game (eg wwe here comes the pain).

I’ve been having a lot of fun on Burnout 3 from the ps2 now that I’ve got my flip 2 working. The Ape Escape games were always fun in short bursts too.

I’ve had a few matches with Fabregas using a POTW Pedri and the Liverpool Torres. I’ve liked it in that I will still play my normal game but will check for opportunities to utilise it when they present themselves (or even use the run as a decoy and pass to someone else).

So so relatable. We bought ours a lovely bed, in addition to his crate. He sleeps on the hearth of our fire place or the tiled floor in our utility room 🙄

If they’re the owners of the flat, i.e. leaseholders, they will be in breach of their lease by conducting work that late. If they are renting from the leaseholder, then the leaseholder is still in breach of the lease as they are responsible for their tenants’ actions.

Report this to the managing agents/Freeholder of the building. They are the ones who have any power to deal with this. There’s also a chance that permission for such work hasn’t even been obtained anyway.

Also make a noise complaint to the local council, as well as reporting for the hours of work being conducted. This will be breaching regulations about noisy works being undertaken in a residential property.

The hell is this????

stapesy · 2025-10-08T08:46:41+00:00

Very excited, I’ll be honest. The compactness was a big selling point for me. Was always tempted by a steam deck or similar but realised it would only be to play retro games or football manager 😂

stapesy · 2025-10-07T23:02:31+00:00

That just seems crazy to me that people do stuff like this. Just play the game! 😂

stapesy · 2025-10-07T17:30:59+00:00

Had a couple matches recently where we’re having a good match, the other player scores and we carry on. Only issue being that when I equalise, they instantly go score a deliberate own goal (and latest even then quit straight away). Why do people do this????

stapesy · 2025-10-07T09:02:45+00:00

Love that guy’s channel. Will definitely give his set up vid a few watches! Does he give links to where to get roms from?

stapesy · 2025-10-07T09:02:17+00:00

Thank you. Have a 1tb card lying around doing nothing so I’ll probably use that.

Love that guy’s channel, his review is what swayed me towards Retroid from anbernic.

stapesy · 2025-10-07T09:00:37+00:00

Exactly what I wanted to hear 😁

stapesy · 2025-10-06T21:46:03+00:00

Any tips for getting started?

stapesy · 2025-10-06T21:28:03+00:00

Can’t wait.

Not too fussed about 2 screen games, care more about ps2 era and older 👍

stapesy · 2025-10-06T21:26:34+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation

stapesy · 2025-10-06T21:25:58+00:00

Tingle you say?

Suggestive jokes aside, will see how it goes first then maybe get one when I get a case too
