All of these were under $10 so I sort of grabbed them because they looked cool (the Sega games because they have Ulala in them), I have a pretty big ps2 collection but im trying to look for more hidden gem type games. Does anyone here know anything about these games? Are they good, awful? Im particularly excited about Bloodrayne, I read the back cover and it seems fun

I have at least 6 cankersores a month and im always losing my numbing stuff. she keeps me sane. Everyone say thank you miku

Reddit, PLEASE help me, I feel like I am losing my mind.

I’ve felt so ugly and insecure for the last 3 or 4 years that I’ve been dealing with this, I have no earthly idea what it could be and I feel like I have exhausted every option under the sun. I’ve asked r/dermatology before and they gave me radio silence, I feel like I am running out of options. I have a cruise coming up in a week or two that I can’t wear baggy clothes and hide like I usually do, so I want it to be cleared up as soon as possible.

• This started around late 2021, I believe. It first appeared after a full-body shave and has simply not gone away since then.
• I was prescribed some sort of topical gel for my back because it was the worst part (surprisingly I did not shave my back, so IDK.) That helped wonders but it was in such a small tube, and I have no clue what it was called. It came back the second I stopped using it.
• I thought it might be the mattress I had during this time, it was a mattress that I believe got recalled, a tea tree memory foam mattress from Zinus. It was like 8 or 9 years old, and I heard a lot of people were having severe acne issues due to the fiberglass, mold, and expired tea tree oil in the mattress. I got a replacement mattress about 3-4 months ago, I’m unsure of the brand but it is fiberglass and oil free. I can find out the exact model if relevant. Anyway, it did not change anything at all.
• I’ve tried many different body washes, none of them made any difference, even the medical “sensitive skin” stuff I find at Walmart. I’m partly wondering if it is an allergy to sulfate. I am allergic to sodium laurel sulfate in my toothpaste, it breaks me out in canker sores. But I believed that was just an oral allergy.
• I have used tide pods during this entire time I believe, 
• They seem to appear in high-sweat places (back, stomach, back of knees, thighs, butt) and initially appear after shaving, but they do not ever go away. I think it might have something to do with my hair follicles?
• They are not particularly itchy or painful and cannot be popped.
• I do not have bugs of any sort, no roaches or bedbugs or spiders or mosquitos or anything. 
• My mom said I needed to exfoliate, I did with an exfoliating brush, no dice.
• I tried Nizoral in case it was fungal, no dice.
• I tried bathing myself in Hibiclens and Eucerin as I saw on another Reddit thread, no dice.
• I have an eczema patch on my foot that has been there for 3+ years. It is very small and does not usually bother me but I feel like it could be important. I used to have very bad eczema like 9 or so years ago but it cleared up.
• I did try some sunbathing, just got a sunburn on top of everything.
• I’ve gone to the doctor multiple times, been told it was just stress/need to drink water, another doctor gave me antibiotics and it did not work.
• I stopped shaving for 2 years or so and it never went away. My mom said my hair was “holding bacteria,” so I shaved my legs and tried Nair on my arms. My arms INSTANTLY broke out in this horrible allergic reaction thing I showed in the images, my legs became worse overall. I’ve been taking allergy meds and they aren’t really helping.
• Also I used brand new razors and conditioner every time I shaved.
• I frequently get hormonal-looking facial acne along my jawline and chin, I’d like to get rid of this as well but I’m unsure if I can since it happens with my period phases. 
• I used to use “The Trifecta” (Goldbond diabetic lotion as moisturizer, antibacterial dial hand soap as face wash) on my face in high school, and it worked absolute WONDERS until my skin grew a resistance to the antibacterial hand soap. It was the best my skin ever felt.
• I’m 20 years old, 5'7", female, not on any medications at all, I drink a decent amount of water, I don’t drink, I sometimes smoke cigarettes but that is kind of new, I used to be very very underweight (not from an eating disorder but just neglect. Was 110 pounds.) and I am starting to finally get back to a healthy weight (I hit 138 yesterday), I have POTS. I don’t know what is relevant, so I am giving everything.

Next steps: Try a different detergent, sulfate free body wash. What else can I try? I need to nuke my skin in as many ways as possible before this cruise, I feel so ashamed of my body and my skin and I just want it to be fixed, I am so fed up with looking like this. I feel like I am allergic to everything.

When I started collecting PS2 games it was specifically because of this anime-ish art style that Konami seems to do really well, I adore the way these kinds of games look but I am struggling to find any examples other than the ones here (DOA, Life Line, Shadow of Destiny, Rumble Roses, MGS3, Devil May Cry 3).

I feel like Kuon, Haunting Ground, Rule of Rose, and RE4 kind of have this thing going on as well.

I know this is sort of a common art style of the era but I just really adore and am captivated by how smooth it looks. I feel like it sort of evolved into those really pretty models you see in MGS4, MGRR, and Bayonetta. I hope I’m making sense, it is 3am for me.

Are they any games other than these I need to add to my collection or look into? I think they are so gorgeous.

April… 30th….?!

Are PSP 3000s easier to mod? The guy at the counter said it wasn’t good for modding so I’m kind of worried. I modded my New 3DS XL using the online guide and didn’t run into any issues, I’m hoping this is similarly easy but I have no clue where to start

I really would like to have one of these for Metal Gear Solid Mobile, but I genuinely cannot find a single one for sale anywhere. Do they still exist?

This is not my picture, my mom found this in a parking lot a few years ago. What could it possibly mean.

All things considered it’s held up pretty dang well i think. I loved that thing so much. Carried it around everywhere.

I picked this up at my game store because it looked super intriguing, and the more i look at it, the more I think this main guy might have shared a base model with Raiden. Has anyone here played it?
