    looks like i'll need to get a ps5 sooner rather than later

    i tried playing dreams last month and would get a warning that my ps4 was too hot and i should shut it off. didn't have any other games give me that issue until playing headlander right now, which was weird because i got through like 85% of the game yesterday without it happening and it just happened like 5 minutes after turning on the ps4

    i knew something was up when i took it to a friend's house, turned off their (mostly) silent ps4, plugged mine in and it sounded like a jet engine

    gonna be real upset if i can't finish headlander. i'm on my way to the platinum trophy

    You might just need to pop it open and blow out some dust

    i hit it with canned air (which i do frequently) and pointed a fan at it

    i'll have to look up opening it to clean it because i can't afford to fuck it up. the console is from 2015 and googling leads to people replacing the thermal paste but that's beyond my skill level

    Hmm, yeah

    I wonder if there's a place you could take it into? Would cost money but hopefully it'd be less than a ps5

    i watched a video and it seems easy enough to open up to clean. hardest part is probably the security screws but i should be able to manage them

    managed to borrow a screwdriver that worked from my neighbor, then once i got it open my compressed air ran out (because of course it did). used brushes and my breath to clean it out as best i could

    still got loud when i played headlander but it didn't overheat. seems quieter than before when not playing a game

    thanks, @Speed Racer!

    actually do you think monsterchief could take on Norman Stranding in a monster chugging contest

    like Norman can turn the monster drinks into piss grenades but chief's suit is also jacking the chief off at all times and that might make him more thirsty

    Bah, that's Bush League product placement. Call me when Master Chief has a quest chain that involves him hankering for Doritos, or when Master Chief goes to ONI's 7-11 location to buy Monster Energy drinks, or when Arbiter has Chief go around finding meat for Arbiter's new sandwich shop called "Arby's".

    *goes back to doing a side quest for the actual real owner of an actual real sushi chain in Yakuza 5*

    not only does he drink monster, he only drinks monster

    his canteen is fitted with a special filter that converts any water he fills it with into monster

    this is not a joke it is literally a part of death stranding

    "Japanese devs are not cowards about product placement" is the lesson you should be taking from this. They are blatant. They are bizarre. They are ostentatious.

    Might be because of EU laws and it's easier to just have it everywhere. It's required to say "this stuff has product placement" but nothing much else. There's a logo that displays on screen before TV programmes during the opening credits that serves the same purpose

    The Yakuza games not only have real-life businesses and products, they will occasionally have like the presidents of real-life companies show up as themselves to talk about how great their businesses are

    Or Kiryu helps a real-life food critic find tasty spots in various cities

    Or Kiryu dates a real-life professional wrestler who's working at a hostess club for ill-defined Reasons

    Since I have no real knowledge of those people or companies I think it's kind of amazing

    But if Kiryu somehow ended up meeting whoever it is that owns Abrakebabra... I'd probably be less enthusiastic

    I like to amuse myself imagining a western game trying to pull that shit off. Imagining if, like, GTA let you go on a mission where you helped Dave Thomas perfect the Baconator recipe

    It would be so crass that I think I would have no choice but to respect it?
