Re: Currently Playing
I mentioned it in a previous post, but I'm going to give a second shoutout to Gunfire Reborn . I'm finding a lot of replayability on this, and a lot of fun. I just got to the third world on it, I had a monstrous build that was decimating everything, but I got arrogant and deservedly got my butt one ...

Re: Game of the Year 2020 Awards
It wasn't even my top pick. I think it may have been my second. It *has* won me over now. Still, we're not the only site to elect it as such; it was Eurogamer's staff pick (it came 4th in the user chart), and I've lost count of the number of people who've said it was a contender. Yay - glad it's go...

Re: The Internet
cloud based operating systems replacing local Operating Systems - hmm I am not sure about that. Most people want to control of their own PC It's not going to disappear overnight, but it's coming. And yes there will be 20 years of resistance to it, but the groundwork isn't far off. at all. And for a...

Re: The Internet
I don't see digital voting ever happening. I hope it never happens, at least. Tom Scott has a good video on it, IIRC. Software is too complex and relatively easy to fuck with compared with simple, tried-and-tested paper-based votes. I just watched that video. All his points are logical and structur...

Re: Game of the Year 2020 Awards
Thanks for organising it DJ! While I'm happy Hades got goty, i'm slightly puzzled as to who else voted it! as far as I recall, Raid and I were the only one who'd played it, and Raid isn't all won over yet! :lol: Agree that given numbers a discussion thread might work better for us next year. I was c...

A bit late jumping into this one, but a few thoughts on what to expect: Fragmentation of the internet by geographic blocks - US, Europe, China in particular acceleration in migration to subscription based services GDPR2 to refine the BS privacy / cookies model so that cookies or whatever model repla...

Re: Upgrade Time
Can I be your wife? That's better than mine :( Sorry! :oops: She's been nagging me for ages about this, and it's taken me a while to really get back into looking at options. I think it's only fair I look for her what I'd look at for me! (I might swap out hers with mine and hope she doesn't notice!)...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Dark I've only just managed to find the time to watch season 2 in this last week. I still don't really have more than a vague idea of wtf is going on throughout, and who is related to who, and how many time paradoxes i'm keeping track of... :lol: So yeah, no clue, but I know without a doubt that th...

Re: Currently Playing
Shadow of the Tomb Raider I've spent some time this week invested in a good old story driven game, and the last of the new Tomb Raider games. I'm way behind getting to this third one, but it's the first time in a very long time I've had enough time to delve into a game without having to eke out tim...

Upgrade Time
So the other half's pc is getting to the point that it struggles to play some of the more recent games like Jedi Fallen Order smoothly, and has a few other little performance issues going on. Not entirely suprising given the build dates back to 2009 or so, with only a graphics card upgrade in that t...

Re: Currently Playing
I've finally gotten around to grabbing Hades . I'm a massive fan of Supergiant's visual and sound designs, but it's only really Bastion that clicked with me on a gameplay level. Hades is definitely strong on the aesthetics, but I'm not quite convinced of the gameplay yet. There's a good chance I'm ...

Re: The Elephant in the Room - Brexit
Does anyone have a clue what the import / export duty situation is on goods from 1 January? In the event of no deal, it's my understanding that standard import duties would apply, plus VAT if applicable. Which in the case of importing to where I am, would be around 17% VAT, plus an 18 EUR handling f...

Re: Christmas 2020!
Merry Christmas all!
When this year started, I had planned to spend this Christmas back in South America, but that obviously didn't happen, so instead it's a quiet Christmas with Florey and I and some simple food and a movie.
I hope you're all having as good a holiday as conditions permit.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series
Watching or finishing a few bits at the moment: Battlestar Galactica I feel like I'm 2000 years behind on this, but i finally finished watching season 4 of this. I think the concept and idea of the show were great, but there were definite moments, especially in the last season, where it felt to me l...
