My PS5 has a little bit of dust but not that much. I currently don't have any tools to clean my PS5 and I don't know how to so I want to know if it's even worth it purchasing cleaning tools.

Discussion Making new friends 😃😄

0 Upvotes

hey, Everyone! 👋🏽

My name is Jesse, i am a 22m, looking to meet new friends and even be active in group chats!

😊wana mention a few things about playing GTA together, just so we’re on the same page!
I’m looking to make tons of friends who I can play with, do heists, missions, contracts, grind, and other things with, and hopefully get to know over time. I’m not just looking for people to play with, but people who are friendly, kind, patient, caring, calm, and understanding. ❤️ i don't want anyone that is negative (rude, always mad/sad/angry).
One thing that’s really important to me is that I don’t want to be carried through everything. don’t want someone to take over MY heist, mission, grinding , sale, or contract and do absolutely everything for me while I just follow along. I still want the opportunity to actually participate, make decisions, and do things myself!
For example, I’d like to be able to lead my own Cayo Perico/casino heist, however i want, try different approaches, figure out how to deal with the guards, and get better at the game with other people. I might not be the fastest or BEST player, and I can be a little slow sometimes, but that DOESNT mean I don’t want to try! I’d rather have someone who is willing to be patient with me while I learn than someone who does everything for me just because they can do it faster.
PLEASE be understanding when mistakes happen. ❤️ Sometimes I die,get caught,trigger the alarms,mess up a stealth approach,or do something wrong** WITHOUT meaning to. I’m human, and mistakes happen! I don’t expect everyone to be perfect, and I don’t think it’s fair to expect me to be perfect either.
Please don’t get mad, upset, yell at me, or start blaming me **EVERY
time something goes wrong. I understand that failing a heist can be frustrating, especially when you’re trying to get a good payout, but getting angry at someone for making an honest mistake doesn’t help them learn. I’d much rather have someone explain what went wrong, give me advice, or let me try again.
I’m absolutely willing to listen, learn, improve, and take advice from people who know more than I do. I’m not expecting anyone to carry me, do all the work, or constantly make things easy for me. I just want the chance to learn at my own pace without feeling like I’m ruining everyone’s day whenever I mess something up.
And I want to be able to do the same for you! If you make a mistake, die, get caught I’m not gonna get mad at you. We’ll figure it out and try again. That’s part of playing together! 😂
I’m on GTA pretty much every day! 😊🎮 I generally PREFER doing heists at 9 PM Eastern Time or later, with Tuesdays and Thursdays being exceptions because I have physical therapy on Wednesdays and Fridays.
I do take breaks throughout the day, though, so I might not always be online right away. I also ALWAYS have to go AFK to help my grandma, since she relies on me for things throughout the day. ❤️ If I suddenly disappear, stop helping, leave or take some time to respond, please don’t take it personally! I may just be taking a break or helping her with something.
I’m happy to plan heists and play together when our schedules line up. I just appreciate patience and understanding if I can’t jump on immediately or need to step away for a bit. 😊
Ultimately, I want to have fun, improve at GTA, try different strategies, work together, and hopefully build some genuine friendships along the way. I’d love to have people I can laugh with, joke around with, run heists with, and just hang out with without feeling pressured to be the best player in the lobby.
I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m asking for patience, understanding, and the opportunity to learn and participate instead of having everything taken over for me. ❤️
If you’re someone who can be patient, communicate respectfully, and have fun even when things don’t go perfectly, then I think we’d get along really well! 😊🎮💙

one last thing to mention: please don't put a hard immediate requirement for voice chat/calls! if i say, i'm sorry, i don't feel comfortable, you should understand that, not peer pressure me into doing things i don't want 😂🤣

Discussion *How to reach Playstation support*

0 Upvotes

Hey! So for all those that have no idea how to reach PSN support I figured I'd make a post to try and help you:

Don't try their phone number it's useless. Go online and talk to their live support agent here. Go to: https://www.playstation.com/en-ca/support/

If you can't get back into your account and lost your PW just type in your email or PSN ID into the chat and ask to speak to a customer support agent (human) directly! I hope this helps.

You're welcome 😊 🙏

Discussion Halloween the Game: I8 containers opened - no escape items.

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

I feel that the devs have overdone it with reducing the number of escape items. In one of my games earlier I roamed the map extensively, found 3 exits and the car and opened 18 containers, but found not a single set of bolt cutters or escape key! I did find repair kits, but no sedan key or petrol can.

In some games decent Michaels can kill most of the residents before more than one exit is opened.

I hope the developers can do something about this soon, because for me as a Civilian, many rounds have become frustrating and unfun.

News Do you remember PaRappa the Rapper? The PlayStation legend is celebrating its 30th anniversary

Post image
2 Upvotes

PaRappa the Rapper is back in a new collector's edition. To celebrate the upcoming 30th anniversary of the cult PlayStation classic's release, a limited-edition series of accessories featuring unique artwork has been created.

The rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper, which debuted on the first PlayStation (PS1) and later appeared on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP), and PlayStation 4 (PS4), is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The official anniversary date for the game’s release is December 6, 2026. To mark the occasion, Bandai has launched a pre-order for a special collection of accessories and decorative items inspired by the game’s universe.

Pre-orders began on October 9, 2026, on the BanColle! online store. Some of the items feature brand-new anniversary illustrations created by Rodney A. Greenblatt—the artist responsible for the game’s original character designs.

The anniversary collection includes a variety of everyday accessories and collectible items. Among them are B2-sized towels available in four designs, mugs featuring artwork, and rotating acrylic stands with built-in bearings. The collection is rounded out by movable acrylic figurines on semicircular bases depicting 10 characters from the game, as well as hair ties featuring randomly selected character designs.

Pre-orders will be accepted starting October 9, 2026, and the first units are scheduled to begin shipping in November 2026. Unfortunately, this product is available only in the Japanese market.

Discussion Question about trophies

0 Upvotes

New to PS5, previously had PS3 over 10 years ago so been out the game for a while.

Playing Ghost of Tsushima and Final Fantasy 7 Remake currently, enjoying both.

I’ve had a few bronze trophies in both games, but no silver or gold. Do these come from doing each level “perfectly”, or will they naturally come as you get further through games

For example I wasn’t sure if gold trophies are for 100%ing chapters/levels, while bronze and silver may be for 80/60%ing each level; collecting hidden item, no damage taken etc

Discussion PS5 slim model number and disc drive situation.

2 Upvotes

Hey guys. I've picked up a second hand PS5 slim and want to reset it (it also doesn't have a retail box). While resetting it asks me about unregistering the drive and I've been wondering why. Found out that slims that equipped with a drive from the factory and shipped with FW 8.00 or higher are paired from the factory and as far as I understood, should not be unpairing. Am I wrong? I also found out that there shoul be a letter in model number - A and B - that designates digital or disc one, but mine doesn't have that letter, it's just CFI-2000 on the bottom panel, and serial number in system settings is E452XXX.

So my questions are is my PS5 digital or disc model and should it unpair the drive if it is the latter?

When I turned 8, my mom got me a legendary PSP for my birthday, and I remember it came with this Lightning McQueen kit. She told me she bought it in Portugal back then. I tried looking it up recently, but I could only find one picture of it. Starting to think this thing might actually be pretty rare 🧐
