I have found an used White PS3 Slim 320 GB at my local game shop. It was actually belong to the shop owner but since he was getting along well with me, he allowed me to get that PS3 Slim. He offered the price was 2,000,000 Rupiah / USD 142.60 and i agreed with the price.
The PS3 was actually has been jailbroken with CFW software but he assured the machine can be reverted back to Original (Reset to Factory setting) like New, like have never been cheated. Later, the machine will be tested again with Original PS3 games after being reverted back to Original. I have been downpaid the machine to secure my purchase so i will get that PS3 Slim on January 2020 after i got salary and paid all the remaining debt. Yay...!
One thing.
Here in Indonesia at this year, almost 100% the PS3 has been jailbroken or cheated with CFW and there are A LOT OF Black market game shop offereing the installation of pirated PS3 games onto jailbroken PS3, the cringeful scenery you will find at almost every single Black market game shop. Peoples were deposit their jailbroken PS3, asked for many games installed until almost full with the storage, a very awful tendency that lead to greed and disrespect toward game developers. Later, after the machine has been installed, they will pay for how many games has been installed. Will cost more money if some games cannot working well (Freeze or Glitch). Well, a slice of cringeful life in Indonesia in term of gaming habit, eh ?
@Tyranexx Hey, welcome back!
But erm.... the internet did NOT explode? It sure as heck did, we just narrowly managed to clear up all the debris before you returned...
Besides mentioning that the Pokémon Sw/Sh hate is ongoing, and that I've learned about magical things such as parody accounts, I'm not even going to bother you with a recap this time, because I wouldn't want your first experience when having just come back to the Chit Chat thread to be a massive headache...
P.S.
LEGO City Undercover is definitely worth a purchase, or at least a playthrough, especially on the Wii U. Graphics-wise, there isn't much difference between versions, obviously also due to the building block aesthetics, and the Wii U version makes excellent use of the GamePad, which makes it the ultimate version in my book. Only draw back of the Wii U version is the longer loading times, but the added GamePad functionality makes that a rather positive trade off, which is well worth it, far as I'm concerned.
@bimmy-lee Batendo? How the heck did he come up with that? Kinda funny, though.
@Anti-Matter So... making unfunny jokes now, are we?
Also still hanging on to watching (too many) videos to decide if you want to play/own a game or not?
Seriously though, watching too many videos or simply gathering too much information on something in general can ultimately work against you, because it will overload your head with data, which will not make the choice any easier at all. Just do what I'd do, and what I've already suggested to you twice: find a good, customer-friendly game shop that actually allows you the option to try a game out before buying, and the personal experience that you'll get from that will be FAR more useful than watching another 100 videos of a game on YouTube.
And no offense, but your brother sounds like a rather unfriendly character, by the way, what with threatening to destroy your PS3. But good that you found a friendly game shop owner that seems to have made you a nice deal. It also sounds like a shop that would allow you to try games out, so why not ask him?
@ThanosReXXX
About watching Ratchet gameplay videos from Youtube, i have never played 3D platformer with so many different weapons like that and i have no idea which weapon should i use in specific situation since i played with lesser violence games all the time. I didn't clicked at all with Ratchet PS4 when i tried the game for the first time on year 2017 due to no experience with games like that. It was really hard for me to aim the weapons toward the enemies since i have to think quickly which weapon should i use in different situation and i have to did flip or jump oftenly to avoid the damage. Also, the weapon upgrade system was still a new thing for me since i was not familiar with Ratchet games before. So, all of sudden after i decided to reconsider PS3, i tried to getting engaged with Ratchet PS3 games by observing the gameplay from Youtube and paid attention with weapon choices and the things should i do during the mission so i will not get frustrated by so intense action i will encounter by shooting the targets with right weapon and right timing.
And about my brother, he did same thing also when i have bought Wii U on year 2016. He said "Why the heck you bought Wii U ?! It just wasting your money and don't make Mom getting upset !"
But he couldn't touch my Wii U since i bought my Wii U with my own money, had nothing to do with his belongings. He have no right to destroy my Wii U since i bought the machine legally. Oh well... at least he have no interest at all with Nintendo machines, he just only care with PC games and smartphone games.
But, on December 2016 he suddenly bought a limited edition PS4 with FF XV Moon on PS4 Slim surface just for playing FF XV because on that time FF XV was not released on PC. I was surprised he tried to forbid me to buy consoles last time but he bought PS4 Slim just for playing FF XV and Horizon. I didn't even feel upset with his hypocrite, me as the oldest brother just keep calm and let him pursue his hobby. If he bought PS4 Slim with his own money, he have no right to forbid me to buy similar console also.
He did also when i bought PS4 Slim on year 2018, but that time he just said " PS4 ?! Why did you buy PS4 ?? I have PS4 Slim that you can use."
I didn't even like his Black PS4 Slim so i decided to choose White PS4 Slim since i really want White consoles. After 1 year he bought PS4 Slim, suddenly he completely neglected his PS4 since FF XV and Horizon has been released on PC on year 2017. I was thinking why did he bought PS4 and then he neglected it.
And on year 2019 i bought PSP 3000 & PS2 Fat, he didn't even react at all with the machines i have bought. I have so many consoles tethered on my Sharp Aquos 32' TV and he didn't even care with my consoles. He has no interest with console gaming since he could download the ROMS from internet, play them with emulator on PC and no need console at all. I have no interest to deal with him so we were completely disconnected and I didn't even try to share my opinion to him because it will lead into a quarrel.
Well... That was my life.
Oh, he had ever told me why he forbade me to buy new consoles because since nobody in my house will ever have any interest to play with my consoles, even i have tried to be nice with them by offering them with new consoles i bought. My kindness was like a foolishness for them. Like, i will never ever interact with them by gaming console like on commercial did. The commercial didn't even work for them but working for me. Such an irony to see LaLaLa Land vibes from video gaming was a foolishness by certain peoples in my family.
@ThanosReXXX - He’s in a quirky stage of development right now, and he’s putting the letter B in front of words with no rhyme or reason. Batendo was my favorite, but he’s also been saying “badult” for adult, and “bagrilla” for gorilla as other examples. It’s so weird, but kids can go in and out of quirks like that when they’re young. He’ll probably drop it next week for something else equally weird (and funny).
@Anti-Matter Well, your brother now sounds even worse than he already did. If I pay for stuff with my own money, then any of my relatives had better stay the heck away from it, especially if they feel the urge to damage things, because I'd never accept that.
As for the video watching: I don't know why my message isn't coming through, but that was EXACTLY my whole point. I cannot emphasize enough that you simply CANNOT get the feel of a game through watching videos. And YouTube videos in general are twice compressed, so it also always looks different in real life as well, yet another reason to not base a decision upon watching videos alone.
Any and all things you mentioned are the precise reasons for NOT doing that, so instead, you should just try the game or games out, and base your impressions upon that. A video cannot transfer the workings of a game, and how it feels to switch views, switch weapons, it cannot convey how the inertia of the character feels when moving, fighting or jumping and so on, so those are all things that you can't get a good impression of, just by watching videos.
And besides that, discovering things for yourself in games is far more enjoyable than already looking several levels ahead in videos, so it would almost be like you're replaying the videos you've seen instead of actually playing the game for yourself. And most games have tutorials anyway, so the game itself will tell you what weapons or tools to use, and how to combine things and such. There's no need to watch videos to learn how to do that.
Personally, I only ever watch trailers of games, to see if they might be interesting, and I only watch Let's Play videos/playthrough videos if I'm stuck in some level, and when I've tried everything I could think of to be able to move on in the game, so only in these kind of emergency situations. If I can find my way out myself, I'm not going to watch videos and spoil any potential surprises or fun things I might come across later on in a game.
@bimmy-lee Ah, yeah, it's a phase that probably all kids go through. My nephew used to exchange L's for N's in certain words, especially when at the beginning, so for example nemonade instead of lemonade, and I do believe that when I was little, I used to say elesant instead of elephant, so it actually is nothing out of the ordinary. But your kid does stand out a bit because batendo doesn't really sound the same. I get the mispronunciation, because obviously, a lot of kids do that, but completely different vowels is new to me, hence the question.
@ThanosReXXX
I played the Youtube videos with setting 720p 60fps on my smartphone / 1080p on my Switch if the video have that feature to simulate the Real visual with Real fps like i really watch the visual from the games directly. I could feel the real 60fps from Dance Dance Revolution Arcade gameplay video (started from DDR 2013) exactly like i played on DDR arcade, i could feel the real 60fps from some Ratchet PS3 games with 1080p output like i saw the PS3 games directly from my smartphone / my Switch. And to consider i still haven't got PS3 games yet (But i will get later) so i played some Youtube videos to watch the PS3 games i really want to know first while waiting for getting the real games, like a warming up before playing. I did also the same things for other games like Portal Knight, Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2 before i suddenly get engaged by the gameplay. But of course i will not watch the videos entirely until i saw the Credit Roll (it will be a total spoiler). 😅
Oh, different games different treatments from me. There were some games i didn't need to watch the gameplay videos since i have clicked by the gameplay. If i have to watch the videos frequently that's because i still don't understand the gameplay, i still haven't engaged with the games yet, still need more time to get convinced. Games like Metroid Prime Federation Force 3DS, Ratchet games on PS3 & PS4 are two examples the games that really hard to convince me since they were shooter games and for me i still freak out and have negative impression with shooting games. After i lowered a bit my restrictions about kid friendly shooter games, finally i could get convinced by those games, but i still forbid the rated M adult shooting games.
Anyway. Got the truck back from the shop yesterday. $200 and a new crankshaft position sensor, and it seemed normal on the 10 mile drive home. Headed to the recycling center in a bit, so we’ll see.
Oh, btw...
Changing the vowel into B also did the same implication as this song.
I want to eat, eat, eat apple and banana. (Normal)
A want ta aat, aat, aat appla and banana (A vocal)
E went te eet, eet, eet epple end benene (E vocal)
I wint ti iit, iit, iit ippli ind binini (I vocal)
O wont to oot, oot, oot opplo ond bonono (O vocal)
U wunt tu uut, uut, uut upplu und bununu (U vocal)
@Bimmy-Lee@nottelevision I heard treasure troves price will be upped when the new updates drop fyi. Just something to consider if you plan on getting it at all.
@ThanosReXXX - It’s certainly an unusual little quirk. It seems to be certain words instead of just substituting letters consistently. He picked it up a few weeks ago, and it’ll probably go away in time. He also said “elesant” for a while! It’s pretty entertaining to watch them sort it all out.
@HobbitGamer - I’ll have you know that MY kid is brilliant. And advanced. Strong too. I know every parent thinks this, but you’re just gonna have to believe on this one. My mom agrees, and we all know grandmas never exaggerate when it comes to family.
Hope that sensor does the trick, and the recycling run is smooth as can be.
@Anti-Matter Okay, whatever. Stay stubborn. Remind me not to want to help you with friendly advice anymore. Nothing you say makes sense and AGAIN: it's a fact that YouTube video is twice compressed, so it can NEVER exactly replicate the sense/impression of the actual game itself.
Even the tech guys from Digital Foundry always say this (which is also why they host their own server where their members can download their videos in the full, original quality, which is in 4K), so it's simply no comparison. It doesn't matter what you think or feel, the fact of the matter is that it just isn't the same, period.
@bimmy-lee It could be all kinds of things, basically. In the examples I mentioned, including mini me, it was either a case of simply not being able to pronounce certain letters, or laziness, or it could also simply be that to a child's mind, it sounds funny, and as such, they act out their mini rebellion by continuously mispronouncing words, mainly for their own amusement, especially if they come up with variants every other month or so.
Kinda makes me think you're the actual victim and he's just messing with you...

Seems like it worked out. Was out and about for around an hour, and had zero issues. Now I'm resetting and fiddling with an old Android phone to make it my pocket browser at home. Good way to keep my cell in another room when I'm off

@ThanosReXXX Thanks! I figured there was some kind of internet explosion (still is; I guessed and now know quite well that the Sw/Sh fallout is still going strong) that I narrowly missed. As mentioned in the vacation thread, that wasn't the only reason for my absence however.
No recaps needed. I think ignorance is bliss this time. XD
I'll pencil in LEGO City: Undercover on my "at some point" list and hopefully get around to it. It's funny; I like LEGO blocks just fine, but I've never really played any of the games. I've considered the LEGO Harry Potter collection too.
@Anti-Matter I can sympathize with being part of a family of mostly non-gamers. Sites like this and some of my group of acquaintances are a nice outlet for gaming-related stuff. Though I'm one of the few Nintendo-centric ones.
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
I really hope Disney doesn't screw up with Star Wars lol
It'll be a flipping miracle if they managed to salvage anything coherent after TLJ. I've given up on the movies; the Mandalorian is the best new Star Wars in years for me.
@ThanosReXXX
Um....
Am i not allowed to watch gameplay videos from Youtube too much ?
I will not approved Ratchet PS3 games before i watched them several times until i felt convinced enough.
That's the only way for me to getting engaged with the games i have never knew before without playing directly the games if i don't have the games or the machine yet.
Sorry, didn't mean make you upset...
