Re: General Gaming News

Been enjoying the remaster of DoW1 a lot this week. Quietly optimistic that 4 is heading in the right direction even if that developers last attempt at an RTS was somewhat lackluster.

Not a bad idea, I hadn't really given much thought to just splitting duties between apps. I'll look into Jellyfin, cheers chaps.

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

I'm not too bothered about fixing it as I'm building a new PC over the next couple of months and will be using the old one to stream everything from a Plex server going forwards. Having spent the last month building a streaming server, I'd have a look at Jellyfin rather than Plex. Free, open source...

Yep, same problem on Edge, Chrome and Firefox.

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

I'm getting a really weird bug on Prime on my PC now where it says that my cable or rig setup somewhere isn't good enough for HD streaming so everything streams at SD quality. I don't watch much Prime on the PC at all anyway so it's not much of a bother, but it's odd that this has randomly started h...

I refuse to engage with any of it, I will never upload an image of my face or a copy of any official government ID just to access content that may be "upsetting" for children. When you dig into some of the stuff that is being banned and the sites implementing verification essentially just to cover b...

Re: Celebs are still dropping off....

They must have known he didn't have long left for them to put it on. One final huge celebration for his life and music whilst raising almost $200m for charity. An absolutely class way to go, you could see how much it meant to him when they did those four Sabbath songs, and what a legacy he leaves too.

Re: Moving Pictures

So unreal. For one of them to just so gleefully state that he is in favour of autocracy so long as it is by a hard right Catholic and that he would like to see the constitution rewritten to reflect those values is just bonkers.

Re: Currently Reading

I have heard that the series gets increasingly bonkers as the books progress. There is a set of six available on Amazon for £30 though which makes it hard to resist finding out for myself.

Re: Currently Reading

I know I'm obscenely behind the curve on this one, but between playing a lot of Dune Awakening before my trip and also having a long week of lazing on a beach, I've taken to finally reading Dune . Man, what a book. I'm about two thirds of the way in now and this has been an absolutely gripping read ...

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

I think this will probably prove to be a mistake that does not go in the direction that Labour are hoping. Young people on social media are increasingly being radicalized by right wing influencers and I can see a lot of them voting for parties like Reform.
