Re: Forum Bugs and Errors Reporting Thread
Has someone made a change to the forum layout? My screen is 'backwards' with the details of the poster to the right of the post and the buttons at the bottom of the screen have reversed. I have used forums in the standard layout forever and this reversal just makes my brain scream wrong . EDIT and i...

Re: Star Wars: Outlaws
Pfft. At least Disney keep a tight control over their franchise. Do you think Tom Clancy would approve of that Punk Rock Mosh Pit nonsense? Ubisoft can't be trusted. Well I am never going to argue against that case, it's a slam-dunk. But regardless, resident Star Wars fan, hush now and support my c...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Haha well that's somewhat different to the potted review a mate of mine sent via WhatsApp: I started watching the latest series by the people who made GoT. It’s called 3 body problem . The first episode was intriguing. The second was confusing. I have just turned off half way through 3rd episode bec...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan
I think the closest I've come to that level of assembly disaster was at the start of the pandemic where I decided to reorganise the second bedroom as proper office / entertainment room. It's a tiny room, but there wasn't room to do DIY anywhere else upstairs so I ended up putting together two 6ft b...

3/6. but these ears have taken a pounding with far too many too loud gigs etc, so not a great surprise.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Shogun A remake of the 80's show based on a book. This one seemed to have arrived with little fanfare which is odd as it's very good. Set in 1600's Japan, an English sailor is shipwrecked and taken prisoner. There's a civil war a brewing and he's getting dragged in. Two episodes in so far, it's a s...

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!
I live in North Hampshire, where you could stick a blue rosette on a piece of shit with a KKK hood on it and it would be elected over any other party sadly. I have to put up with this Serco funded Edwin, whose only brief moment in the spotlight was being made a minister by Liz Truss: https://www.the...

Re: Currently Reading
Yeah, I read a Jay Kristoff series last year, Nevernight Chronicles I think, and enjoyed it a lot, so will check that out when I finished this current series :) Yes he is a really good author, I also loved the Nevernight Chronicles. With the Vampire series he has really raised the bar though, such ...

Re: Currently Reading
I found the Blood Song trilogy to be the same, I enjoyed the first book massively but the change in perspective and the bringing in of swathes of largely forgettable characters killed it. I stopped reading after book 2. I have enjoyed a few recently: - We are the Dead by Mike Shackle - a very dark a...

Re: General Gaming News
The problems are twofold I think. Firstly you now have a space in which decisions about gaming - what will be made, who will be laid off etc are being made by people with zero understanding of games and gamers. The second is simpler, the older I get and the more I see, I just feel that the utter, en...

Re: Skull & Bones PC
That's fair DJ, I remember being worried about the change of scenery but was excited enough for the story that I took the plunge - and enjoyed it mightily. It doesn't have the location though I agree, visiting towns and cities (in Italy mostly) that I have explored as Ezio is always so funny, you lo...

Re: Skull & Bones PC
I haven't replayed it in years but I remember always enjoying getting back to the sailing. I don't remember the combat that fondly but I did like the recreation of the ship, the ocean etc. I did read that in co-op you can heal your buddies (or at least the ships they are represented by) by shooting ...
