Buenas gente, no se si este es el sub correcto para hacer este post (espero que si).
Tengo el GTA SA descargado en la compu y tengo dos problemas:

1. Cuando arranca el juego, pasan los dos primeros logos, y cuando se supone que tiene que arrancar la intro se queda tildado. Se escucha de fondo la musica de la intro pero la pantalla queda en negro, con el logo de Nvidia medio transparente, como si nunca se hubiera terminado de desaparecer para darle el paso a la intro. No se como solucionarlo, busque varios tutoriales pero no funciono ninguno y ademas tampoco encontre casi info, como que es un problema medio raro?

2. El juego se me crashea de a ratos, tipo no puedo pasar de la mision de Ryder aun porque se me cierra de la nada. Tengo una buena compu, no es ese el problema, no creo que un juego del 2004 le de mucho laburo xD

Desde ya muchas gracias gente, espero puedan ayudarme, y si este no es el sub correcto para esta pregunta una disculpa!

Tengo 21 años, soy guitarrista desde el 2019 mas o menos. Admiro a gente como Jose Larralde, que supo llevar una vida austera y lejos de la masividad y al mismo tiempo logra vivir de su pasion; la musica.

Siento que es algo complicado hoy por hoy poder vivir de la guitarra, no hay muchas opciones. Tengo una pagina en instagram donde trato de subir contenido bastante llamativo y diariamente, a su vez estoy planeando anotarme en la escuela de musica de Avellaneda, para poder tener el titulo de profesor y dar clases.

Pero mas alla de eso, de que manera creen que se podria vivir de la musica? Tanto de la guitarra o de la musica en si misma

Por IA me refiero a la gran mayoria de chatbots; chatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.

La verdad yo estoy muy reacio a eso, todos mis amigos/familiares la usan hasta para contarles los pedos que se tiran o para buscar una especie de aprobacion de la ia ??? O sino para hacer fotos recontra pelotudas

Si bien yo no las uso, creo que el unico uso bueno posible que se les puede dar es para estudiar; usarla como un apoyo o refuerzo con las materias que no entendes, como si fuera un profesor. Pero mas de ahi, no me parece muy bien

Tampoco es que soy un viejo choto y le cago la diversion a la gente pero que se yo, toda tu vida personal vas a contarle a una inteligencia artificial flaco?

I'm new—I only started a few hours ago, haha. I already killed the dragon the Jarl ordered me to take out, and now I want to get 5,000 gold so I can buy the house he offered me. I have tons of items (in fact, I had to walk super slowly to get there because I couldn't run, lmao).

Hola gente, recientemente me compre una PC por primera vez en mi vida. Tengo muchas ganas de jugar pero me quede sin plata, por los proximos meses gran parte de mi sueldo se va a ir en pagar las cuotas de la compu

Donde puedo bajar juegos completos de manera segura sin que me entren 72 virus x cada archivo?

Hi! First of all, I'm somewhat new to the LOTR fandom, I hope my question isn't too silly! I just finished reading the three books and The Hobbit last week!

Cuando era chico siempre me quedaba re ? viendo cómo tomaban leche mientras comían, tipo se clavaban un re churrasco con puré y lo bajaban con LECHE. Los yankis hacen esa guasada posta o que?

TW/CW: Depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, substance abuse, pornography addiction, anxiety, trauma, and toxic relationships.

Hi, I'm M21 from Argentina. I've been dealing with a long depression that has been progressively growing since 2020 (and it started when I entered high school, I think). In 2024 things got much worse; There were a lot of problems at home, my dad kicked me out several times. I was playing in a heavy metal band and I got into drugs. The night, the alcohol, and the drugs made everything worse. I had several suicide attempts.

In late 2024, I began using too much LSD and other psychedelic drugs; that triggered an extreme chronic anxiety disorder that still plagues me today. Starting in 2025, I quit everything cold turkey, but I couldn't give up weed.

Fast forward to now; in mid-2025 I met a girl and we broke up in December. I left her because it was a very toxic relationship and she didn't respect me at all, And I didn't respect myself either, so I allowed her to do horrible things to me and I believed each and every one of her lies.

Since I was 10 (or even younger), I've had a pornography addiction that I absolutely struggle with every single moment. My brain has become completely sexualized, and it contributes to my depression every day. So, during the first half of 2025, all I did was smoke weed (in absurdly large quantities) and watch porn. Gradually, my brain began to associate extreme humiliation, feeling pathetic and miserable, deception, lies, and other awful things with pleasure.

Finally, a month ago I decided it was too much. I quit everything cold turkey: porn and weed. I improved my grades at university and started working. Day by day I try to be a better person. I also started therapy.

BUT: I'm sadder than I've ever been in my entire life. I've never felt this depressed, not even at my lowest point. I miss my ex terribly, and the whole situation is making me feel awful. I still can't get over it after more than 7 months. The battle against porn is horrible, everything triggers me. Withdrawal from marijuana is horrendous. And worse; the thoughts, dreams, and trauma are enormous. That association my brain created is still there, and nothing brings me pleasure.

I've been told it will get better, but I don't see a way out. On the contrary, no matter how hard I try, I always end up back in the same place: that cold, lonely, and miserable darkness.

​

I'd like to download and play the PS2 version of GTA San Andreas (I think it's much better than the PS3 version—you know, those orange-tinted graphics are awesome and nostalgic) on my PS3.

​

I downloaded what was supposed to be the PS2 version from the HEN store (I think it's called WikiStore), but when I launch it, the screen just stays black and I can't do anything—not even turn off the console normally. I have to unplug it from the power outlet.

​

I should mention that I have basically no knowledge about this stuff. When I download a game, I just get it from the HEN store and launch it directly. By that I mean I don't know how to use, or even what the purpose is of, MultiMAN and all those other apps.

​

I hope someone can help me and point me toward the best way to get it working. Thanks so much in advance, everyone!

I have no idea how to summarize all of this, but I'll try to keep it as brief as possible. I hope everything makes sense despite the wall of text.

I'm a 21-year-old guy. For the first 15 years of my life I lived with my mom, and in 2020 (when the pandemic started) I moved in with my dad. Things never really worked out at his place, so at the beginning of 2025 I moved back in with my mom.

Originally, I moved to my dad's house because in 2019 my mom had a daughter with her husband (now ex-husband), and combined with the quarantine, I was losing my mind. My mom basically used me as a full-time babysitter and I got sick of it.

I'm not even going to talk much about my dad. We never got along well, even though I always tried to have a relationship with him. I was the one constantly reaching out, but he never really wanted anything to do with me. At this point, our relationship doesn't exist anymore. He openly abandoned me, and that's where things stand.

The problem is that since I moved back in with my mom, the same thing is happening all over again. I'm still being used as a babysitter all the time.

My mom has always been extremely controlling, extremely overprotective, very passive-aggressive, and, in my opinion, quite narcissistic. Everything I do has to come with her opinion attached to it. Everything I do has to be supervised by her. No matter where I am, she's always monitoring me through messages, and if I don't reply, things get even worse. When I get home, I have to deal with the most dramatic guilt trip imaginable, and the atmosphere in the house stays tense for days or even weeks.

She works as the manager of a shoe store and spends most of her day at work. The thing is, she complains about absolutely everything. If she works too much, she's exhausted. If work is slow, she's bored. If sales are down, her boss complains and she feels miserable. It never ends.

Honestly, the only three things I hear from my mom on a daily basis are complaints, orders, and passive-aggressive comments.

She has extremely low self-esteem and had a very difficult childhood and life in general. I don't blame her for that. But I don't think it's my responsibility to be her emotional support when she was never mine.

To make things worse, around December 2025 or January 2026 she broke up with her partner, and they're both acting like teenagers. They barely speak to each other, so they dump everything on me and my younger brother. We're constantly babysitting my little sister, running errands, and acting as messengers between them. I'm completely fed up with it.

On top of that, I have to be my mom's therapist. She's constantly crying because her ex already has a new girlfriend. Honestly, I'm not surprised. She treated him terribly while they were together.

My financial situation is also really bad. I study and work, but I barely make enough to cover the essentials. I also keep lending my mom money, which she never pays back. Unfortunately, I can't afford to rent a place of my own.

I don't really have anyone I can move in with. My dad abandoned me, I'm fairly antisocial, and I don't really have friends I can rely on.

I don't know what to do anymore. I've been looking for a better job everywhere, but I can't find one. The job I currently have only allows me to survive, and my college schedule makes things even harder.

I'm losing my mind.

About a year ago I developed problems with drugs and alcohol. I only started getting my life back on track this year, and I've now been sober for two months. I still struggle sometimes, and between the cravings, withdrawal, and everything happening at home, I feel overwhelmed.

I've been dealing with severe depression, constant anxiety, and stress levels through the roof. I'm getting rashes and skin problems from stress. Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't gone bald yet.

I don't know where to turn for help.

I love my little sister more than anything. I make sure she has everything she needs. I take her to and from school, feed her lunch and dinner, help her with homework, and spend time playing with her.

I'm completely exhausted by all of it, but obviously none of this is her fault. It's my mom's responsibility, not hers.

What worries me the most is my sister's future. I don't want her to grow up carrying the same traumas and mental health issues that I developed. I try to act as a shield and protect her from as much of that as possible.

But by taking care of her and constantly doing everything my mom asks of me, I'm putting my own life on hold. I lost an entire year of college because of all this.

What would you do in my situation?

How do you even begin to solve something like this?

I have a few questions about Johnny that have always intrigued me xD

1- Does Johnny have any solo music? Whether it's an album, song, or collaboration with any other musician outside of the Ramones?

2- Are there any recordings from Johnny's entire career, whether albums/songs or live performances, where he sings?

3- Are there any videos or performances where Johnny does a guitar solo? I don't mean a simple bend or open note, but something more "complex" (at least a little bit xD)

I mean, what's the Ramones concert where they played the fastest? Johnny doing impossible downstrokes, Marky playing at 200 bpm, you know what I mean haha

Tengo 20 años, nunca me interesó mucho la política hasta el año pasado que empecé a leer un poquito más y me di cuenta de la importancia de saber de este tema.

El tema es que, no sé cómo carajos aprender y también a formar una opinión propia; me pasa mucho que la gente con la que me rodeo solo repite lo que escucha, o se enamora de figuras políticas más que formar una ideología propia.

De que manera puedo aprender desde "cero"? Me gustaría mucho poder hablar con alguien sobre este tema y saber sobre lo que estoy hablando y a su vez entender a la otra persona xd

I consumed 2g of mushrooms at 00:30 am, It's 2:43 AM and I only feel the trippier vision (but really smooth, like super smooth, I don't have any "visuals") but nothing else. I ate very little during the day (just a small plate of noodles)

Should I keep waiting or will this have no effect? I feel scammed 😞

It's 3:38 PM, my mom arrives at 9 PM. I have 2g of shrooms. By the time my mom arrives, will I be "okay"? So, will the effects of the mushrooms wear off by then, or will I still be too high to mask them? My stomach is empty; I haven't eaten anything all morning.

So, I've been feeling pretty depressed lately; my life is a mess right now, with lots of personal and family problems. Anyway, a friend invited me to do mushrooms next Friday. I've done acid many times before, but never mushrooms. My question is: how can I use this experience to learn and make the most of it? I've read several times how amazing mushrooms are and how they can help people who are going through a tough time, so I'd like to use this experience for where I am right now. Thanks in advance for reading.

P.S. My friend told me that the effects of mushrooms are somewhat like LSD, but more "natural" and shorter-lasting, yet more emotionally intense. But I haven't really researched it much; I want it to be a completely new experience.
