This is probably a key factor.
Thanks for the extra info! I'm going to get a proper cooler for my cpu soon, once that's fitted I'll definitely jump back in and see what it's like now.
Squadron 42 seems to be really, really close to release. I expect that will add a meaty play loop layer (assuming it dies actually come out at some point)
Wow. Absolutely stunning. I'd like to know the specs of the PC this was made with... But people in comments claiming the game is more cpu heavy than gpu, and can run ok on something like 1080ti / 2070s.
I tried star citizen a few years ago and couldn't get into it... Too buggy, difficult, no real gameplay loop. So those are still my concerns, but it's looking as if the insane level of investment and 'feature creep' might be about to pay off. This really does make Starfield look even more of a freshly pressed turd.
Well, I can confirm I'm using it to write this comment, very smooth experience for me.
I'm using the free version, so far any ads I've seen are not intrusive and tbh fairly rare
Same. I like to imagine him training her up for the role and how to deal with the constant interruptions from Alan Davies.
"Now, Sandi, you will be interrupted by Davies; said interruptions will be frequent and may try your patience. But you must not show weakness, you must not let him break your resolve.
To your right, I have placed a mannequin with a curly wig and a loudspeaker. I want you to prepare and read a speech on the different specialities of ants, while the mannequin interrupts you, without losing your composure.
Begin!"
Terry Pratchett isn't re-editing anything, he sadly is no longer with us.
Sandi Toksvig is one hell of a human being. Always enjoyed her presenting (especially on QI) but didn't know this about her activism and inclusivity. Impressive!
Yep. There's nothing quite so frustrating as having to sit there while a total and utter idiot drags your cause, hobby or profession through the mud.
I remember when my friend was checking his weapon / ammo, I noticed he had hollow points. I was quite shocked as in my head they were more dangerous, he explained that because he lived in an apartment, if he had to shoot at an intruder with normal bullets they'd go straight through the walls, and that hollow points were much safer for fellow residents if the worst came to the worst. Really demonstrated to me that there's a metric fuck ton I don't know about guns. So I always try and moderate my emotional reaction to 'gun issues'. Some things imo are quite obvious (like, if there's a license to drive a vehicle, then surely it's just as crucial to have some common-sense legislation to ensure people who own guns do so responsibly). But then, I don't live in a country with something like a Constitution and it's not for me to tell other people how to live in their own country!
Thanks, that's a kind offer! I'd love to visit Colorado one day.
My friend who I went with is very stringent on safety / weapon maintenance, and I got a really serious vibe from the owner on the way in... No messing about, listen carefully to instructions, follow guidance to the letter. That gave me quite a bit of confidence knowing all the people inside would be held to that standard. Guns are serious tools and not to be fucked with, is how I felt on the way there and on leaving.
Flinching was for sure a big part of it. I'm autistic, never liked loud noises / bangs, stuff like fireworks. Just walking in there was quite a big deal (especially because being a UK boi I'd never been near a gun let alone fired one), I remember flinching at first just from the concussions I could feel in my chest from other peoples' shots. Interestingly after 3-4 hours of this, it seemed to have dampened my flinch response substantially.
First words out of my mouth after firing the Magnum was "FUCKING HELL" haha. Big old cloud of smoke, I'd definitely go shooting again. Was fun. Managed to land all my shots on the target at 15m so will take that as a win, especially compared to all the other learner papers they showed me.
Dark Reader. Not invulnerable to sudden blinding at night, I'd say one site in 200 seems to sneak through. But imo it beats all other dark mode addons I tried and certainly the default dark mode.
I had two towels at once for a while, as I'm quite hairy. One towel didn't feel quite enough to get ne fully dry.
4 towels seems a bit much if I'm honest!
