360 was wild. Never in LIFE had a console die on me ever (played since NES)

Maybe just luck. But god damn if 3 360's didn't die on me. 2 sent back from MS

Went and bought the new "Jasper" model. Saved me

Lucky for me

Bills paid. No debt. No kids. No wife. It's just me and my world.

Not that I do not want that situation. I'm 39. I've had opportunities. But never did it. After all this time, for now, I'm content being alone. I've learned to love who I am And love privacy.

It's weird because I once Felt I HAD to have those things. The older I get, the less my desire exists for em. Doesn't mean I do Not see some ladies and have fun. But I'm genuinely not looking for anything serious. I've not closed it off. But genuinely can take it or leave it. I'm picky asf now

Built my life off my hard work and dedication and for anyone to interrupt it. Ya gotta be special

Same.
The pins on my NES started to go right around when I got a Sega Genesis, and I had to turn my PS1 upside down to read discs right before I got a PS2, but other than that, all of my other consoles ran like champs. I honestly lost count of how many RROD 360's I ended up with. I have a few fat boys that still work, and a few Slims too. I have a RGH3 Slim that gets used regularly.

I recall On PS1's reading that depending on where the black plastic shit was on the CD area mattered. Like when you open the CD Lid.

Never had the issue. Aware it happened for many many lol

Yeah, the guide tray would warp, causing the laser to fuck up. Flipping it over let the laser glide freely. I believe it was a problem mainly with the launch models. My friends little brother had been doing it well before mine started acting up, and that's where I learned it, haha.

My recollection is my PS1 laser black plastic shit faced to the right. Could be wrong. Either way it never had an issue.

I think buying games online while drunk and then forgetting that you bought them can be considered an alcohol blackout. :)
 
Once after a long night of bar hopping I returned home and decided to play a game - can't recall what it was, but I do recall being annoyed by the loading times. So a few clicks on the laptop and I got to congratulate myself on my problem solving skills, off to bed.

Wake up next morning to a notification telling me my order had been shipped. My initial reaction was "wait, what order?" and upon opening the e-mail my reaction was "oh fuuuu...". I had ordered a 1TB SSD for my PS4 Pro. Which a) were ridiculously expensive at the time, and b) despite being an SSD, thanks to PS4s architecture it's still not that fast. The fastest alternative for sure, but you really don't get the gains you'd expect.

But I decided to bite the bullet and not cancel the order. That would teach me not to do drunken online shopping (narrator: it didn't).

I bought SW Outlaws for PS5 while I was high and I actually enjoyed it and low key thought Kay was a cute

Will double dip on Switch 2 when it gets the customary 75% Ubislop price reduction in 3 months

DId the other way round, played the demo on PS5, didn't like it (and in my defense, the demo was like in a weird time in the game), and then bought it for 43€ on Switch 2, currently enjoying it a lot. A bit of fan service, but eh, I'm all in for that.
 
Never, but I don't drink alone.

I do smoke weed, but I think that makes me replay games I've already beaten 10 or more times rather than buying new ones. :goog_relieved:
 
I bought a $20 Mount in Diablo IV while blackout drunk like 3 months ago......
Oh well I have it better rock it!

Not directly a game, but I did buy Xbox points on the 360 one night for like £50 and the next day checking my bank I thought I was hacked. I rang Microsoft and they said I had bought points, then bought The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion with some of them. I had even made a character and everything in the game, but had zero recollection.

Ive drunk bought stuff but im fully aware of it.

One of my mates once spent £300 on dvds and games on play.com when drunk and didn't realise until they all showed up a few days later.
 
Once or twice but I was only tipsy.

Worse: i bought a game once and completely forgot about it, because i was really busy. After a year or so i wanted to buy the game realizing that i already owned it.
 
It happened to me recently with games I've played and finished and not even that long ago which is wild. After that I understood why people say Game X is forgettable.
 
Zero.
I don't need to game when I am drinking. For me personally that would mean I am drinking alone and bored; which generally isnt the case if im having a bunch of drinks. Shopping is the last thing on my mind.

I haven't been drunk for over a decade. A buzz? Sure but I always cut myself off at a little buzz. I hate any feeling of not being in full control of my actions so that's a no-go for me. Never purchased anything drunk back then outside of more drinks!
