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

Silo is a brilliant televising of a really fun set of books. I hope it does well, I really enjoyed season 1.

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

This is what happens when you have people whose primary source of 'news' is TikTok. Absolutely not, no. I'm not even sure some of them know what TikTok is. The truth is that every form of media has an agenda, and I can perhaps understand why there's so much hate in modern politics because it really...

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

The voters the Tories are appealing to have this anxiety about asylum seekers (to the point where I've seen people fretting about them taking up entire hotels and stockpiling weapons for some big assault, which is patently bollocks) and they're being told that they're correct - that they SHOULD be ...

Depends where your meter is, innit.

Ours are outside, but I've seen gas ones under the stairs at relatives' places.

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

He was supposedly working on a TV show focused on an NFT he owned… until it was stolen. He paid a ransom to get the worthless piece of shit back, and I've not heard anything since. Doubt he'd attend a festival about the pointless crap, though. Especially in Hong Kong! Periodic reminder that someone ...

Re: \m/ Metal \m/

I wouldn't seek it out, but I'd be pleased if they turned up as the support band or at a festival.

Bit of a back-hander, that! :mrgreen:

It's good, but it's not really my jam.

Pretty sure they’re Scottish… 😁

I get exactly what you mean, I can’t define which vocals I like or not, but I have very strong feelings on hearing them!

Re: \m/ Metal \m/

I've found my new favourite thing! "I’ll search for you in the guts of the lost world" is a brilliant metal line to kick off into an epic guitar solo The section from 3:21 is some of the best breakdowning (breaking down? breaking downing?) I've heard in ages I love heavy music with orchestral bits i...

Re: The gig thread

Went to see Funeral for a Friend last night, they're touring in celebration of the 20-year anniversary of their Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation album, and had a really good night. First support band I'd never heard of, but they put on a pretty good show in spite of the sound desk. Up next wa...

Re: Forza Motorsport - on Gamepass from 10th Oct

The default settings (which you seemingly can't change until you're quite far into the UNSKIPPABLE INTRO :evil: :evil: :evil:) made all the "videos" in the intro run around 0.5-2 FPS for me, but as soon as it dumped me into the first race everything was smooth and playable – weird! The audio played ...

I saw an advert for Strays and sent it to some friends, along with "this looks terrible, I can't wait to watch it drunk". 8-)
