      As someone with a hot air station and a bunch of electronics experience, all I see is gold.

    I got that once. Called tech support and they recommended putting a vacuum hose against the cooling fan for about a minute. Did that, and everything started working again!

    Not as bad as finding a “No Memory Card Detected” message.

    Need a save card too. No blocks is worrying.

      I had a ps2 demo disc with some games like Star Wars Battlefront on it. I played it and I enjoyed it. Then the unspeakable happened…

      My memory card was wiped. I received a warning weeks later that the demo disc has a bug that deletes memory cards when you play it. Like wtf is that about? I was playing a game and got pretty far but it erased my file. I don’t even remember what game it was.

      Anyway that is my spooky memory card story.

      Everyone has that one friend who’s boot up screen looked like a dense metropolis.

    Disk cleaners saved and killed so many of my games. Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

      That’s a disturbing place for a comma 🤨🫣

      Is your brother named Freddy perhaps?

      Look, he may be grimy, but kink shaming isn’t cool. He can be fingered whenever he feels like it.

      I used to have the game boy Zelda game, my little brother decided it would be funny to stuff it full of play doh. :(

    If you’ve got a bad disk drive, don’t assume it’s worthless - the homebrew scene has made incredible strides recently, and now you can play your backups from an internal solid state drive, or even from your memory card! There’s also SD adapters for memory cards, giving pretty much unlimited space. I haven’t used my disk drive in years.

    I mainly got used games as a kid so I saw this screen far too much…

    Also probably why I ran into a bunch of glitches, my earliest memories of playing racing games involved a lot of driving “off the map” before a new area loaded in. which sometimes it wouldn’t and just crash after a while. >.>

    Ah, the days of the scratched disk running your day.
