I still do this dumb game meme because it's fun for me to watch how i end up playing less games as each year goes on?? LIKE WHAT EVEN. oh well maybe this year will be different. or maybe this is just my new thing. it would also help if i tried to play new games instead of the same 5 titles OVER AND OVER AGAIN (but at the same time, if im having fun who cares??? IDK!!!1!) though I also tend to feel bad if i have unplayed games sitting on my shelf year and year. :x
( A CUT that i forgot to put in the first time cuz im good at things )

( i was way too amused by this so i have to share it )

this post has no purpose i was just way too amused by that.

the end.

last night i was playing more jak x (SURPRISE SURPRISE) and it was super fun and then i played ONE MORE RACE before i was gonna go to bed.

finish race.

check something in email.

look at tv.

GAME IS SAVING FOREVER.

for those that don't know (aka: all of you) jak x has a lovely problem where it saves forever and never stops thus breaking your game file, and sometimes the ENTIRE MEMORY CARD.

i was seriously like >:C but not as upset as i would have been, as I was well aware of this issue before playing too much and I got a second memory card to back up my save. I STILL SOMEHOW MANAGED TO LOSE 10HRS OF GAMEPLAY THOUGH. but 60~ish hours of game play before it breaks? NOT BAD!? I just hope it doesn't become a reoccurring thing. :| also holy crap i did not realize i've played that game so much D:

but anyway it deleted my entire jak x save file and also the 1kish data off my memory card (SRSLY ITS JUST GONE IDEK) and im kind of miffed about that even tho i don't have that many ps2 games.

this is why they need to do jak x in HD so they can have this problem fixed (bcuz it was never fixed in any of the versions :D) and so i can trophies for it. i want to platinum this game ngl

i still love the game to pieces though and idk if i will stop even if it manages to nuke my entire memory card.

i gotta re-earn all my time trial scores now though :D lol

also wondering if i can remove corrupted data off my card. everyone says use the ps2 memory card browser to do it but there is no corrupted data block. im just missing the memory and there is no trace of the broken jak x file :| but whatever.........

you guys ive written 14 fics ranging from 2-5 pages each for this one ship that no one likes from a game no one has played.

and i keep getting more ideas.

i've literally never done this before with anything ;_______;

well unless rp counts bcuz i probs have like 900001 pages of infamoose rp in that case. my cole is so canon you guys dont even know and another 500 pages of dxhr rp lollolo

but that's completely unrelated.

MY ENTIRE LIFE I JUST DONT EVEN.

also i cant stop listening to this song. it was in my music library for like ever and today i put on a random playlist of songs i rated high but hadn't listened to much AND HOLY CRAP THIS SONG IS LIKE DRUGS IN MUSIC FORM TO ME. it just wont stop being on repeat. help.

bonus: be amazed at how my tiny cat can take up 50% of my bed

you guys.

last night i was trying to play MOAR jak x because it's my life suddenly and like the R2 button (THE TURBO BOOST BUTTON IN THE GAME) was getting stuck to the point where it was ruining my races because my character would be like IDK HOW TO TURBO LOOLOLLOOLOLOL and then everyone and their dog would pass me and it was lame in a bun.

AND THEN I WAS LIKE!!!!1 IM GONNA OPEN THIS CONTROLLER AND CLEAN THE BUTTONS. THEN IT WONT STICK ANYMOAR.

so i opened it up and it was the most disgusting inside.

i am never buying another used controller ever. :'c I usually buy my stuff new but I was late to the ps2 land and I got it used at Gamestop like a year ago I guess. The dust and grime inside the controller was nothing like I'd seen. I don't know if they rolled the thing in dirt at some point or not??

i mean look at these, and how it just gets worse:
first glance inside. note the dust on the cord inside the controller.
gross analogue stick
THE GROSSEST BUTTON I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. q-tips would hardly pull the grime off that X button. I just..... HOW DO YOU EVEN MANAGE TO GET THIS MUCH SHIT CAKED INSIDE YOUR CONTROLLER!?

the most disgusting thing about this is that i realized i had been actually PLAYING GAMES WITH THIS MONSTER for this long without realizing how gross it was inside.

it took nearly 20 q-tips and almost 2 hours to clean that controller.

and if it doesn't fix my button sticking issues in Jak X I'm just gonna throw it against a wall.
