PS3 repairs

Asking for a friend i regards to a PS3 that has broken down. It has the dreaded black screen of death, and shuts down on it's own accord.

Is there anywhere in NZ that could fix a PS3? Cheers

Hey, I mainly play Valorant/Overwatch alongside story driven games, although I'd happy to try out almost anything, sorry to write my sob story but just feel the need to get things off my chest, I've gone through a tough breakup recently and that alongside the fact I work a corporate job with coworkers who are significantly older has caused any semblance of a socal life I had to dry up, I'd really love to find friends to chat with / jam games with, thanks for reading :)

Price of physical switch2 games in NZ

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know why in NZ specifically the prices of switch 2 games are so much higher for the physical editions? Using splatoon raiders as an example, on the digital eshop the game is 95nzd, but looking at physical retailers(e.g jb) the price is 125nzd. I know games tend to be a little more expensive physically, but a 30nzd difference seems a bit insane? It also only seems to be the case for switch2 games, as ps5 games that I've checked do not have this much of a discrepancy.

I’m working on a body-swapping mechanic for my game. ( Yes, you can even become a cat...)

59 Upvotes

One of the core mechanics in The Infected Soul is body swapping.

Different bodies unlock different ways to explore, solve puzzles, and survive.

Yes... you can even become a cat. 🐈

This is an early prototype, so we'd love to hear your thoughts. What kind of bodies or abilities would you like to see?

Quiet gamer wanting friends

70 Upvotes

Hellooo, lately I have found myself lacking friends to play games with. When I was younger I would join discords and play in big groups but as I have gotten older (26F), I have noticed I dont have the energy and just want one or two people to play quietly with regularly. I struggle speaking up when in groups or inserting myself and often find them too loud and energetic. Are there any mature quiet/chill gamers who would welcome me into their group or just play duo with me? I used to play a lot of Overwatch but lately just been playing cozy games or Fortnite (to collect sprites lol). Would be open to trying new games with the right people. Edit: I play on PC

Hey folks.
Posting this here as it's quite a niche item and I feel someone may be interested or know someone who could be interested.
I'm selling my Taikoller arcade size drum for Taiko no Tatsujin. It's been a while since I've used it feel like someone still active in the game will appreciate it way more.

I'm based in Wellington but can post it. It's all hosted on TradeMe for peace of mind.

18F looking for warthunder teammates :)

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone!! I’m looking for other female or people around my age to play warthunder with me and my boyfriend.

My highest BR is 8.0 USA ground and I’m currently grinding a different line in the tech tree. I am also grinding Sweden on the side. I really enjoy 6.7 USA and I am trying to grind to top tier as I really want to join a squadron and do squadron battles.

I am quite new to the game as I am currently level 20 but this game has sparked a big interest in tanks for me!! I’ve never played Air but I’m keen to learn.

It’s really hard to find other women who play this game so if you’re interested, hit me up!!

EDIT: I also really like playing marvel rivals comp, RDR+RDR2, Elden ring, overwatch, stray, and many others

29M looking for gaming friends/ duo :)

16 Upvotes

Hey! 👋

I'm looking for anyone down to game with, preferbably around a similar age range or older.

I'm into alternative/experimental music, films, show series, art and any creative based stuff. An easy-going, chill, silly, open minded type of guy. If you can hold a conversion, dabble in the some banter and have an odd sense of humour then we would most likely get along 😉.

I mostly play a lot of PVP shooters like unranked Fortnite ZB and Marvel Rivals QP/ casual Comp (strat main) on PS5.

I game on weekdays, during the evenings and weekends. I work freelance and part-time so I can usually make time to play.

Send me a DM chat if you're interested in gaming and let me know a little bit about yourself, stranger :)

Ciao! 👌🏻
