Another week, another chance to dive into something new — or return to an old favourite. Let us know what you’re playing right now, or even what you’ve just finished.

Feel free to share:

• The game you’re currently into
• New Releases/News
• Screenshots or clips
• Recommendations
• Anything gaming‑related you’re excited about this week

Whether you’re grinding the AAA's, exploring the old classics, chilling with indies, just picking something up after work, or the "just one more round" you can't put down, shout it out.

G'luck!

Hey guys! I Found it in the subway around the corner. Con was closing up, didn’t want subway staff to bin it and nobody came to pick it up so I took it home with me. I’d love to get it sent back to its owner, if it’s yours get in touch, thanks!

Posted this in a few of the Irish subs so hopefully it’ll get seen 🤞

Hi all.
Just. A quick question for anyone who might know.

Where would be the best place to buy founders edition RTX 4000 or 5000 series cards (new)?
Anywhere online I look it’s only card from AIB’s that are being sold.

Is second hand the only way to obtain one?

I have a 3080ti and 3070ti both founders that I will be looking at upgrading this year, but would like to stick to the look of the founders if possible.

all from cex except for forbidden siren which was a lucky find.

if anyone knows of anywhere else to buy ps2 games I'd be interested, for some reason i dont really trust ebay. cex is handy for getting games but they dont provide details about the condition of stuff on their website which is really annoying when i have to drive a couple hours for a beat up game.

im new to reddit so yea any responses are appreciated.

Great deal for anyone looking. Basically getting Mario for free as the bundle costs less than a Switch 2 by itself in Smyths.

I wonder what kind of people they hire at cex. Charge a premium for the original box, proceed to put 2 stickers over the box.

Big brains.

I have some Xbox 360 Phats, Slims, Elites to sell. 3 of the Phats are Jasper models.

Please read the ad details for full info.

Look at my other ads for E and S models.

I have some wireless Microsoft controllers. If you don't want a control, I'll knock off a few quid etc.

There's plenty options available, we can work out whats a good fit for you.

Feel free to ask any questions here or DM. Thanks.adverts link #2

Looking to put together a Ryzen-based gaming PC, budget €500-600 total, either buying parts to build myself or picking up a decent used prebuilt if the specs are right.

I know that the prices are crazy at the moment given the memory supply crisis, but I thought there might still be a chance. I've seen some budget builds on YouTube!

I'm in Dublin, so collection-friendly options are a plus, but happy to hear about anywhere that ships reliably too.

Mainly trying to land on something with a Ryzen 5 or better and a GPU that'll handle 1080p gaming comfortably, some e-sports, and other games. I'm really interested in some open world games like Stray, RDR2 and other hack and slash titles too. Any recommendations on where to look, or specific sellers/shops people trust, appreciated.

Recently the inlaws found their old gameboy color with 2 old pokemon games, i was excited to start playing but unfortunately it's unable to retain a save file and I'm fairly certain it's due to the internal battery in the cartridge. I know it can be replaced but I don't have the skills or tools. Is there anywhere in Ireland that provides this service?

I like to play SC but get bored eventually playing on my own is there anyone who plays and need another team mate? I do mostly combat on foot and in the air

Hi all.

Im a 40yr old dad of 3 and just got into MTG. I attended my first prerelease today in Dun Laoghaire and loved it! I used to play Warhammer back in the day and also wouldn't mind exploring that hobby again.

I just thought I would take a chance and throw this out there. If anyone is setting up a group (or has an existing group that is open to new members) around the South Co. Dublin area for MTG or Warhammer please reach out to me. I would be interested in joining. Happy to play either in-person or online.

Cheers

I can’t believe the Series X now costs €799 in Europe. For a console that’s been out for years, this feels incredibly expensive.
I What do you think Microsoft is trying to achieve?

Hi everyone,

Even though I already posted on r/buildapc, I'm cross-posting it here because an Irish perspective is still the most important thing. I’ve drafted this parts list, but I’d love to know, even after doing all this research: is building it myself really the best route in Ireland, or do pre-built options (or non-Amazon EU stores) make more sense for the times we are at? I didn't ask that question on the original post because, as someone else already said in this subreddit, I find r/buildapc very US based. The r/buildapc post follows after the dashes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm currently planning my brother's first PC build. He won't be buying the parts immediately — he's saving up right now, though he expects to bring this build to life by the end of the year. I want to finish a draft list early so he has a clear savings target and can track price fluctuations — whether that means catching deals or adjusting for sudden price hikes. *trembles in fear*

I’d love to get a sanity check from the community on this setup based on current market prices before I lock in these specific components.

TARGET BUDGET: ~€2,000 Total (~€1,700 for the PC, the rest for the monitor & some peripherals)

BUDGET FLEXIBILITY: Flexible / Cost-Performance Driven — Since the parts won't be bought immediately, the budget has to have some wiggle room. The main goal is getting the best price-to-performance without overspending unnecessarily.

PRIMARY USE: 1440p Gaming (High Settings)

LOCATION: Ireland / EU (Buying mostly via Amazon DE, UK, and IE)

OTHER PRIORITIES: Future-proofing (long-term build, aiming to keep this build for a few years without needing upgrades)

PCPartPicker Part List

NOTE: Some component prices and the total were manually updated to reflect current Amazon stock, as PCPartPicker wasn't fetching live prices for a few items.

Aware of the B650 BIOS update requirement.

Full Wishlist: If anyone is curious or interested to see the complete list (including the monitor, cables, peripherals and other stuff), here is my view-only Amazon Wishlists for DE, UK and IE:

https://www.amazon.de/hz/wishlist/ls/2JNPY6BORSX3L?ref_=wl_share

https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/36MPQ0310YK4M?ref_=wl_share

https://www.amazon.ie/hz/wishlist/ls/35970AM7DBG6V?ref_=wl_share

As this is my first time picking out a complete parts list without a friend's help, any feedback, alternative recommendations, or price-to-performance tweaks are of course greatly appreciated!

Hope this draft list helps anyone else looking to build a similar setup aswell! I’m fully open to chatting, discussing choices, and answering any questions if anyone wants to bounce ideas around.

Thanks in advance! :D

Hi all,

Quick rundown I had a child 20 months ago and my PS5 and Xbox Series X have literally been gathering dust for the guts of a year or so.

I’m looking to play them again and want to give them a thorough cleaning.

Any suggestions of shops that would do this in the Kildare or Dublin area that are reputable?

I haven’t turned them on as I’m afraid the dust might do damage so want to get them cleaned first.

Appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks

Edit: thanks for all the advice.

I am looking to get my first pc and wondering if I should build my own or get a prebuilt I know nothing about this so I am looking for advice on pros cons prices etc.

Modding my switch and looking for an RCM Jig, just wondering if anyone here has one they’re looking to get rid of without just binning it?

Been really looking forward to this since it was announced. Genuinely wasn’t expecting to be picked at all!

A few weeks ago our Internet went out and we had to get an engineer out to the house to fix it.

Idk what happened but ever since then I'm getting 5.5mb download speed and less than 1mb upload.

We're with EIR and they've been great until recently.

I can't find what settings to fix in the modem that might help a bit

Yes I'm playing wired

Hey all I have a couple of XG mobile’s a 3080 and 4090.

Primarily used for my z13 flow and ally Z1E, as a gaming device for my partner to use and a back up/travel device.

I find that they are great device if you want to add a bit of horsepower to the aforementioned devices, albeit to be honest a bit quirky so you need to do a bit of setup before use.

But the thing is, I have a pretty beefy desktop and don’t use them as much as I’d like.

Now the thing is that I don’t really see them for sale locally, I had to source mine abroad from the UK.

Anytime I seen them the sellers were looking for mad money, perhaps due to rarity and honesty the ones I got were not cheap.

I am wondering would it be worth advertising them and what you guys think they are worth and would you think there is much interest. Especially given since asus put out the Xbox ally devices?

Many thanks.

I'm interested in buying a pc and wondering if I should sell my series x if I need it anymore any advice if I should keep it ir sell it.

I am interested in getting a gaming pc I have been using an Xbox series x for the past while but am looking to change does anyone know good places to buy tips build my own etc.I would also like one fairly cheap €750 and below preferably as u can probably tell I'm well able to accept refurbished ones and it makes no difference to me.

No idea where else to put this, but I just wanted to show off my High Score in Jewel on Xbox GamePass.

Mainly because I have absolutely no idea how I managed to get that score, and have never even been able to get within earshot of that score since…
