Make sure you are playing some AAA titles
ID: hd4kci2ID: hd4lkq9I know, just gave my pc a heart attack running it
ID: hd551hoI can sear a brisket on my PS4 when playing RDR2
ID: hd5gqdqthey want to keep their pet alive.. not bake it
ID: hd580sf100% I look forward to the winter months when my series x is going to heat my house.
ID: hd587h1Made summer ever so much fun being in the same room as a pc and series x
ID: hd4xrbxYou don't want to cook your pet though.
ID: hd5cdbqMay I suggest any game RockStar has to offer.
ID: hd51cylI read this as "Make sure you are playing some AAA titties."
ID: hd5c6lw"Power Your Dreams"
ID: hd5ft8rWhooah. We’re not trying to cook it, are we?

Story behind the photos:
She's a degu named Cookie. We noticed something's wrong last night and she's been deteriorating ever since. Vet gave her some medication and told us to keep her warm until the next visit tomorrow morning. Heat pads are sold out so we kept her in our hands, on a chest, etc... to keep her warm.After a whole day of intense care, with the the question "how to survive the night?" looming ahead... I got an idea, to pull out the Xbox from under the TV and put in the table. This way we can keep an eye on her, while she's resting on the warm side.
So far we're alternating between casually playing Burnout (to ease our worries) and idling in a menu to keep the temperature OK. Over night we'll crank up the heat by putting in CD of Valhalla if it gets cold, take shifts with my GF, care for Cookie, and maybe hunt down some achievements along the way 🙂
ID: hd4wwkeHey man, I don't know how things are currently going or what part of the world you are but if you have a grow store close by, check there for seed germination mats. Only $10-15 and will be just her size without getting overly hot.
Hope things get better!
ID: hd5bzspAbsolutely test it out before putting her on. Not every grow mat is made equal and some cheaper ones with questionable thermal controls can be too hot and cook your seeds.
ID: hd5lnkdA sock filled with rice warmed in the microwave will stay decently warm!
ID: hd5ql9bI had to do this, only downside is after about two hours you gotta reheat it, at least for my socks
ID: hd4kkjbIf you have cod that game will make the device fly
ID: hd5bx18He wants Cookie warm not well done
ID: hd53mleOr over heat lol
ID: hd57kiiBest wishes for Cookie's swift recovery. And using the Xbox is a very inventive solution, props to you for thinking of it!
I was very excited to see a degu. I wanted one soooo bad in the early aughts but never was able to get one.
ID: hd5176oOP I highly recommend getting a hot/cold pack. I got one for $4 from a local pharmacy and its a Godsend. You can put it in hot water for a few minutes to heat it up or leave it in the freezer to make it cold depending on your needs.
ID: hd5252rOh i know these. We even have one but it somehow broke last winter and we can't get the gel to fully melt and de-crystalize in the hot water. The Xbox is somewhat of a last resort.
ID: hd5hay1Would getting a livestock warm light work? They are 20 for the plug in fixture and 20 for the bulb. They work. We use them for chickens to help make sure they have the heat they need as chicks

Sincerely hope she makes it.
ID: hd54iknThank you

She is adorable. What is she?
ID: hd4h8q1she's an octodon degu. I wrote another comment for context.
ID: hd4izuuCool. I'm happy she's doing well. Thank you for the answer.
ID: hd50yvmAnd I thought my chinchilla was exotic. This the first time I am hearing of that animal.

Pretty genius. Make sure your settings don't put it in stand-by. My Playstation goes to sleep after 15-20 minutes of idling unless I have a video player open.
ID: hd4wgl9Good point. We've already ran into that. Idling in game's menu worked well so far. Both temperature-wise as well as staying running. I'll have to check if there's any other inactivity setting.
ID: hd7q21dOh, make sure to darken your tv setting. Don’t want to get screen burn.
Did that with my old PS2, could see the pause screen of Tony Hawks American Wasteland and the old Need for Speed Most Wanted from a certain angle.

Fill a couple of 2 liter bottles with hot water, wrap them in towels and put her in her towel between them. Just don't forget to check to make sure it's not too hot for her and make sure to refresh the bottles every once in a while. That's what we did with our sick puppy. He's now happily running around the apartment as an adult.
ID: hd4xfniYes 🙂 that's a good idea. We did that during her first nap in the noon. We'll likely return to that for the second half of the night so that all of us can get a few hours of sleep. The Xbox is just a way to keep her warm and resting in our sight. Because you can only hold her in hands for so long before you start shaking or twitching.

Is that a chinchilla?
ID: hd4hb5tDegu, same family as the chinchilla. I used to have a load of the little guys.
ID: hd4hoyxThanks for the info. Has the same colour coat as one of my old guinea pigs. Made me wistful for the old fella.

Put some white rice in a clean sock, tie off the end, you can microwave in short increments until desired temp(not too hot) and will help provide some heat. A super cheap DIY heating pad!

Seriously, why does it run so hot. I have mine plugged in, but haven't used it in a few months and it's borderline hot to the touch.
Edit: Thanks for your concern, I unplugged it. I guess I just assumed that it was supposed to be that hot and never looked into it.
ID: hd5g4dpUhh...you may want to unplug that...and maybe call an electrician...
ID: hd4ouboI never had this issue with it being too hot to the touch. Mine's just warm.
ID: hd5k9diget that checked out you might have a fire soon
ID: hd5rlssyoooooo unplug everything from that outlet
-
Yeah idk why my xboxs get so hot I left a game on it once and it melted
ID: hd4yo9aSeems you guys never had a ps3
ID: hd4yqmsHoly shit I forgot

Time to download warzone and leave it on the main menu… but seriously I hope everything goes well
