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

Well, with the demise of the shift key on my logitech G15, i was forced to look for a replacement keyboard recently. This was a painful exercise, despite some of the recommendations this forum has made. I'm not a big fan of the clack clack clack of mechanical keyboards, regardless of how smooth or c...

Re: Currently Playing

Hmmmm - had a bit more time recently to play some stuff I'd wanted to. Children of Morta One of the games in this month's humble bundle, CoM is actually a really great little game. I thought I'd hate the narrative storytelling getting in the way of the rogue like gameplay, but in fact it makes the g...

Re: Among Us

Are we playing tonight? Given the numbers this week I was thinking it looked unlikely. I think trying to get a game in every week hasn't worked as a regular thing - too much after D&D night? :lol: I'll put a longer calendar in - happy to add different time windows, and we'll work to something in th...

Re: Trump

The 21st century is Chinese anyway. Whether he gets elected or not, it makes no difference. America had its moment in the light. Prepare for a command economy future. Just prepare yourself for a Trump win when you wake up on Wednesday. I'm not so sure about that Achtung. I think the world is aware ...

Re: Among Us

Cap is 10 to the best of my knowledge. I think I've got one GW2 friend who will join us, the other three are off doing other adventures, so not sure they'll be persuaded. Would still be good try add a couple of folk though! New doodle schedule up for next week as proposed: https://www.doodle.com/pol...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Finished off Lovecraft Country and really liked it a lot but it is inconsistent. The second episode in particular makes it feel like a mid tier Outer Limits but others were really excellent, particularly liked the one with the Korean girl. It is batshit silly at times and that makes me like it even...

Well I haven't had firm commitment for today. It was more of an if you guys show up it should be fun kinda sell, but I didn't give them a whole lot of notice.

Re: Password Manager Apps

"1Password has never been hacked" Source. That it hasn't doesn't eliminate the risk that it won't. The article is a good one and justifies reasonably well why I'm over and above on my requirements. Nevertheless, that's my choice and the standard for my personal data i want to hold to, so it's a no ...

Re: Among Us

Agh! That's a shame. I'm fairly relaxed either way, but I had been trying to convince between two and four friends to join us for tonight!

I never really expected we'd up doing an almost weekly night of it, so happy to forego this week and we sort a day next week instead if that's the preference. :D

Re: Among Us

I might have found one person to join us for next week.

Tuesday is looking most promising again, with backup wednesday.

Shall we tentatively go for TUESDAY?

Re: Password Manager Apps

Oh I know I'm being unreasonable, and that my expectation is higher than I reasonably need. :lol: I understand that just because my vault file might be accessed, that it doesn't mean my data is, and that accessing that is still a whole other ball game. However, if I have a master vault with everythi...

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Which ones have you watched? I do like me some vikings but the fact that the games up until now have all followed the same old formula often puts me off trying the newer ones. I can't speak to all the other AC games, but I was blown away by Odyssey. The other AC games I played always ended up being...

Re: Password Manager Apps

I have been using LastPass for a number of years now and not had any issue with it. It's a very reputable app. My issue with it is that the database is still stored by LastPass in their 'vault', as far as I can determine. And while AES-256 encryption is secure today (and for the foreseeable future)...

Password Manager Apps

So i've been forced to upgrade my iphone 6 this week after the battery regulating module seems to have failed absolutely these last few weeks, with my phone sometimes not turning on for days at a time. However, that comes with the usual "you app isn't available on the app store" issues, which means ...
