Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

You do acclimatize to it - it's 27.3 in my home office currently and it's going to get lots warmer yet. I spent a few years in Essex and by the end I was really enjoying the heat, even when I was working. High humidity is a killer though.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

At work we've got some third-party software that is godawful (I won't name them as technically we're still partnered with them), and for the last few years I've been dragged into technical discussions about how to import stuff into this software because there is a basic problem with it. Essentially...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

I'll happily watch long films - 3 hours plus. It's up to the film to make it worthwhile sitting through though so in that respect, I can agree that lots of the Marvel films are far too long. What I can't do, is binge through box sets. Maybe 2 episodes is the most I can do at once and this threshold ...

Re: Currently Playing

Hi fi rush.

Gave a a 20 minute try but just found it tedious. I didn't feel like I was controlling much and know whether I was on beat or not wasn't obvious.

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

This year's festive viewing: A Muppets Christmas Carol One of those films where people exclaim "You've never seen it?!" when I tell them I've not seen it, so I finally got around to it. It's pretty good; I get the feeling it's nostalgia talking when others praise this, but while I don't think it li...

Bollocks.

Also, in 2023 I'm 50. I'm seeing so many people die at 60/x it's frankly giving me the fear.

Re: The 'Look What the Postman Brought Me' Thread - Technology Edition

Had these for a little while now, so figured it's time for a mini-review: The entire Google Pixel phone ecosystem; Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel Watch, Pixel Buds Pro I hate changing phones. I have so little interest in camera upgrades or screen resolution or what silicone my phone is running on, so I end up ...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Actually the more I think about it the less I like it. Ex Machina is still his only decent film. You clearly forgot to mention Dredd when pressing keys right there. ? I did forget he was attached to that yes, it was ok ;) Sunshine was ok too I guess but it’s been a long time since I watched that. A...

Re: How's this look - shopping for new desktop gaming PC

I looked at self build for my last PC (Christmas last year) but due to the price and availability of GPU's at the time it just wasn't feasible. Things might well have changed now though. Building them isn't that complicated, the biggest issue was making sure the cables were tidy!
