^ This - on current evidence, another lecture on gender politics is all that LucasFilm under KK’s stewardship is capable of producing. Crystal Skull was bad enough … but now time-travel and toxic masculinity? No thanks :rolleyes: …

Having turned my back on World of Warcraft after the Legion expansion - and, it must be said, nothing much really lighting my fire for any sustained period in the meantime - I started playing Guild Wars 2 in just before Christmas and I’m completely hooked. As of now I’ve got 7 level 80...

Thanks @Mik3 and @TheSwede - have just run that Verify option within Steam and as a result it's now re-downloading 17GB-worth of files. I'm off out in a bit anyway, so it can finish off in time for when I get back. If that doesnt work, screw it, I'll go down the GOG route. Apparently the Nvidia...

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, as I've never had to do that before - is that from within Steam or within Windows itself?

Well that's an anti-climax - downloaded on Steam on Friday, in anticipation of a weekend of gaming indulgence playing this, applied a patch waiting on Steam this morning and ... the bloody thing can't/won't even get past the CDPR launcher before crashing. PC is about 18 months old, purchased...

Same - damn, it was working before I went out a couple of hours ago

Online appears to be working now ...

Installed on release day, but like most couldn’t get connected to a server, so I played offline. Finally got connected last night and got a toon up to the same point in the story as my offline character - saw several notes from the devs in chat saying hotfixes were being applied and got booted...

I’ve still got this installed from having bought early access on Steam back in 2017 - anybody got any idea whether the release version will install as a big old patch to that or as a totally separate set of files?

Oh Lordy, I NEED to see this film, it’s as simple as that - you just know it’ll be over-the-top, ain’t-America-grand BS, but goddamn it I love it! Just the music in those trailers ... jeez, total goosebumps :D

Yep, I go to the cinema to be entertained, have my thoughts provoked, or as a source of escapism, not to be lectured on social justice issues and to be told what a shallow, dreadful individual I am based solely on my gender. Look at Finn and Poe in Last Jedi - cookie-cutter characters not much...

Precisely. I’ll be seeing it on Friday, although it’s more a case of I’m doing so just to see how bad the film is. I’m expecting the proverbial dumpster fire in all honesty - as a fan of this franchise for over 40 years, I never thought I’d hear myself say that. I’m obviously part of the fan...

I had one of these in early 2017 - in my case skull, neck and spine. I'd deliberately taken off my watch and rings etc before I went in, but when I got there I was told that jewellery isn't considered a problem anymore. Can't remember now whether they asked me to take the belt off my trousers or...

Reading this thread has actually made me feel relatively 'normal' again! Normal in that I have very few friends, but those I do have are the sort who have been friends for years and if we do go ages between seeing or speaking to each other, when we eventually do we just sort of seem to pick up...

Best thing about the trailer is the music. After the ****-show that was TLJ, I can't say I'm chomping at the bit for the release of this. I fear, once again, this will not be the telling of a classic, timeless story - as the originals were - but another lesson in gender politics from the...

Don’t know how or why I’d missed out on Borderlands before, but I bought BL2 on CDKeys for about £4 a couple of weeks ago and got utterly addicted to it. Got a Siren up to about level 22 and then bought BL3 last week and the addiction is even worse. Absolutely stonking game - mad gunfights and...

@Jonnybmac Awesome stuff mate - that’s how you do it ... those photos are stunning! I haven’t done anything on quite that scale, but to me one of the joys of being single is the ability to do stuff on a whim, whether it’s something trivial or more involved.

Got it in one, bud ... still does my nut in that the person who I’ve known for over 25 years, with whom I discussed everything, who was first to hear about it whenever I had good news and who knows me more intimately (in every sense of the word) than anyone else on the planet, is now a stranger...

I know what you're going through @Jonnybmac - essentially where you are now is where I was a couple of years ago. It hurts, but it's not like any physical pain you've ever had. ci_newman's post (quoted) is exactly right. It's critical that you deliberately do things that a) take your mind off...

Having had a few hours to cool down and consider my actions, I'd like to apologise for my earlier post - a moment of 'red mist' on my part and not indicative of how I normally think. More importantly, not how I was brought up either. That doesn't excuse demonising an entire gender based on the...
