Re: The F1 thread

At the time I felt that the 2021 Massi thing should absolutely have been reversed, the rules weren't followed! It's too late now, but they could have done it following an investigation back then. What sucks is that Verstappen could have won 2021 on merit, but being handed the win on a plate at the e...

Re: General Gaming News

Battle.net gets my vote as the biggest turd. I hate it. Thankfully, I also rarely use it, I just took the notion to play the last two Modern Warfare campaigns and that was that. As soon as they announced CoD on Steam, I jumped ship. I don't think I have anything in Battle.net anymore. It's not quit...

Re: General Gaming News

And when you dare launch it, it'll request admin permissions at least three times in a row.

Every. Fucking. Time.

Re: General Gaming News

So, the worst of both worlds? Great…

Edit: Ubisoft have probably the worst of all the shitty game launchers around, and being the bottom of that barrel of shit is no easy feat.

Chalk that one up as some deranged blather, I don't see it happening.

Re: Starfield has a release date

I've got Warzone installed. It could be massively inflated by 4K assets though, I've only got a 2K screen. I think I've got everything installed, unless there's any optional bits you have to opt-in to. I play DMZ and Multiplayer most of the time, maybe I'm missing the campaign (though I did try it f...

Nah, latest CoD is 96GB installed. Starfield is a monster!

Re: Starfield has a release date

I'd better boot up and leave my PC on for about a week, then!

I wish I didn't live in the forgotten lands of the internet. 😢

Ghostbusters: Afterlife

It feels like it was made with genuine love for the source material
That makes a lot of sense, the director (who is also credited as one of the writers) is Jason Reitman, son of Ivan who directed the original.

Re: Windows 11

I don’t know the answer, but assuming it’ll only do an in-place upgrade, you could clone the old drive to the blank one and upgrade that.

Re: US Congressional hearing on UAPs

I cannot get on board with the theory that there's some supreme beings with incredible technology, but they just can't seem to crack autopilot or crash-avoidance systems. What, our puny missiles can bring inter-dimensional or sea-faring beings down? Also, the careful wording like "non-human biologic...

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

The question I'm wondering is did someone legitimately tell them this tall tale, or did they make it up for… reasons?! Or perhaps they misunderstood what someone had said (some people could have come home with kidney infections and low function).

Re: Currently Playing

I've not seen anyone mention Starship Troopers: Extermination anywhere yet. It's in early access, and is somewhere in the region of a wave defence/base building/FPS. Very unoptimised at present, but playable with a small squad of your mates (4 per squad IIRC, though the whole team is quite big) so l...
