I had no idea that they were so strict (nicest word I could think of) with there hardware. That's really shitty. I'm hoping they replace it for you when you're able to get ahold of them.

I really don't have much interest in a PlayStation 5, thankfully.

I didn't realize it either until last night. Someone in a Facebook group I belong to said they often do good faith repairs out of warranty, however he said his experience with this took place like 4-years ago so I wonder if they still practice this. My hard limit on paying for this repair is $200, which would already be too expensive given the parts and labor to replace the drive. If it ends up being more than that I'm probably going to just sell my PS5 as is for parts and just get a new one when I can.

Damn man, sorry to hear that. What a crappy way to end the year. I was a bit wary of the new consoles because I've had so many issues with XB1 and PS4 (Moreso XB1), add the fact that I've still never seen either new console....so I just decided to get a new PC (Love it). That REALLY sucks it happened right after your warranty expired.

I feel if I do get a new Xbox on PS5 (Less and less likely) I'll wait for the mid-gen upgrades.

Well, mine sort of relates to another thread here...I want to game more and collect less. I have a lot of stuff (I only track disc based non-pc games on here, so no cartridge games, no digital games, and no disc based PC games...I was going to track those but so many games were missing here I just gave up), so A LOT. I figured out one I have more than i could ever realistically play. I will still look for items on my wishlist,  but i want to keep my purchase of games released from 2022 forward to a minimum (I won't say NONE) I did just get a new gaming PC since I decided to forgo the XSX and PS5...by the time they become available it will be up for a mid gen upgrade anyway.

So, but less, game more

You have made weak attacks at mine too, but I don't really care. Your opinion of me is irrelevant.

You however are not joking, I don't care if it's an 80s song or some meme. I told you months ago that you hurt me with a comment and got no reply but you simply won't stop. Aside from my gorilla post made in jest all my posts of late have been heartfelt and real questions. Yes even the Britney vs Christina one. Me and my girlfriend have been hooked on them and the end of the conservatorship so it was fresh on my mind.  But I honestly think reaching out and just talking to me is way more mature than the jabs. I deserve that much respect. We all do.

If I wasn't joking, report me for calling everyone here a lunatic, as I referred to this place as "the asylum". Well, I guess the mods would be the orderlies so not EVERYONE.

I just want a button I can push so I never see your posts on my unread posts page again.

Also, I think (I could be wrong) that this is the 5th thread I've addressed you in. The off-topic thread where you mentioned Covid as the cure (In which a mod even told you to cut your crap out), , one where you went on about Seether being sexy waifu or something, the free time comment, one about naming your kid after a PS4 controller, and this. That goes back nearly 2 years. You make it sound like I'm stalking you (While you are the one monitoring my activity on here) You let Oldgamerz slide on all the BS things he says, but want to report me. Makes sense.

Edit: Wolff242 is in clear violation of forum guidlines.

Once bashing oldgamerz for his religion on a seperate post in April of 2021 and the severity of covid on these forums by suggesting one would wish for covid death in the form of prayer on a gaming topic that never suggested it.

Once telling a user he has no life on a harmless and innocent thread not even a week ago.

And third calling 2 users lunatics here on his thread.

These examples have been forwarded to the administrative team. Sorry you had to deal with this oldgamerz and merry christmas to you for when it comes   I do always enjoy your posts.

Man, if you're going to make shit up, at least try harder.

The severity of Covid? Yoou mean the post I referred to where Oldgamerz literally said, and I quote

"If they do I hope to God they just die of the freking COVID 19, I don't care about them now."

How am I starting that, HE said it and I responded. You want accountability, start with him. Bringing eating babies/cannibalism into a thread that had nothing to do with that....wishing people would die of covid, and all other sorts of inappropriate things he says.  I could come up with plenty of examples if I wanted to take the time to search.

Also, did you forget YOU were the one who said, and again I quote

"humans are the virus, covid is the cure"

Yeah, you can claim it was a meme. My lunatics comment was a song....Fun Boy Three if you want to try to play games. Who's downplaying the severity of Covid here? Looks klike you are also wishing death on people.

I've never bashed anyone for their religion, but I sure would if they distort things try to impose it or their beliefs on others. I have no doubt I called him out on something inappropriate with religion, since he does that a bit too. I certainly haven't bashed religion or faith in general.

Edit: The April 2021 thing IS the covid comment. Nice attempt to make that sound like 2 separate incidents. Yeah, if someone is going to PRAY that people get Covid, I'll call them out on that shit. That is a gross misuse of religion.

As for telling someone they have no life...where. YOU made a topic, I responded and in that response I said "You must have a lot of free time". I did not say get a life, you have no life, etc.

YOU have accused me of all sorts of things you know nothing about. You just love to go off and make all kinds of comparisons.

Report away, but I will also go through both yours and oldgamerz posts and report the both of you as well. I'll happily accept whatever punishment the mods deem appropriate, but you both have run amok with things the mods should have dealt with a long time ago. He particularly has gotten away with stuff that wouldn't fly anywhere else.

I'm glad I saw this before the PM, otherwise I might have thought you were serious.

Threads like this is what happens when the Lunatics are allowed to take over the Asylum. (80's reference, FTW)

Coming from the guy with not a single thread worth mention and no contributions to the forums aside from referring to other users as lunatics and a sarcastic cheap shot once every 2 weeks on threads where you look stupid because othes contribute respectfully like adults. You aren't all that and a bag of kettle chips yourself.

Momma always said if you got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Momma's advice lasted what...20 min?

Threads like this is what happens when the Lunatics are allowed to take over the Asylum. (80's reference, FTW)

Wait isn't this the guy that trash talked users battling depression last year during a pandemic? Literally a user claiming they were in a bad place you'd come with pessmism to make their climb just that extra inch higher? I remember reading things days when my skin wasn't as thick and being close to giving up. Don't think I forgot the shell of a man you are in the face of instances where this community seeked a humanly loving route. Isn't this the guy that registered the same year as oldgamerz yet oldgamerz has 10x as much engagement as you? Ouch. Quite frankly it's every post I make now. Which is fine. But not oldgamerz. He can disagree with you but he's a good person. He's been nothing but nice to all of you. And he deserves respect. Not to mention he has made good posts with tons of worthy debates and you haven't. And probably never will.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged." -Matthew 7:1. This quote aged well.

Haha, OK. Glad to see that thicker skin is working for you. I'm sorry I don't contribute thought provoking pulitzer prize material like yourself....I guess I could make endless threads about what kind of cereal goes best with powdered milk, or what snow cone flavor gets me hot and bothered...however attrition doesn't make one a valuable poster here. I'll give Oldgamerz this- he does make good threads on these forums, but starting threads like this one and then going off on people isn't quality in any way. I'm OK with the guy, even if he thinks of me as an old grumpy wolf, lol. He at least talks about games, gaming, etc.  I don't see any of that from you, just attention seeking fluff.
If I contribute nothing to the boards, I'll have accomplished the same as you using @1k less posts.

If there is a way to block people and not see their threads/posts please steer me that direction. I would enjoy this forum 100% more without seeing your consistent nonsense, and I'm sure you feel the same about me.

Edit: Yes, I realize I can scroll on by, but it's a lot like driving by a car wreck. You don't want to look, but you end up peeking anyway.

Oldgamerz, do you even know anything about the lottery? In my state, the lottery revenue goes towards scholarships that any HS senior in the state can apply for...and most of those that apply get it. I've known many, many people who were able to knock out at least some of their college education because of the lottery scholarship...people who couldn't afford to go on their own. Oftentimes lottery money is used to better the lives of others. It's not just some money pit black hole (I can't speak for everywhere, mind you... different states have different policies)

Also, how the hell does one come to the conclusion that someone who supports this website can't be ok with the lottery as well? A lot of people would consider being a pro supporter a waste of money.

If you are going to be so judgmental of others, just be aware that you too may be judged...Don't complain here when that happens. People are allowed their vices, as long as they don't hurt others. Video Games and Rock Music have been looked down upon and shunned in the past.

I critically judge anybody who plays the lottery, I think it is stupid, sure once you actually get some money back you can feel the rush but that rush probably cost you every single dime you just spent.

I see "Thou shalt not judge" are not among the words you " sell for free" as a preacher on Facebook.
What really was the point of this thread? You just insulted anyone and everyone that you asked to chime in outside of those who align with you.

I've heard of people doing that at times with cars (Boats are much more common), and things like stuffed animals, but never with consoles or TV, electronics, etc. Not common.

 Back when step brother, step sister mingling wasn't looked at as taboo like it is now lol. 

Where did you even get this from? It's been taboo as long as I've been around, and was def taboo when this movie came out in the 90's (Though I've never seen the movie so IDK it was even in it)

I think my favorite Brendan Frazier appearance was in "Singles" even though it was just a cameo. Journey to the center is an entertaining movie. I wouldn't say particularly good, but not bad either. I enjoyed it.

PS3 is my 2nd favorite console of all time, behind the 360, and I go back 40 years. So many great games, so many great exclusives (PS3 was my 1st PS console, so I can't compare to PS1/2)
