    The simulation hypothesis.

    Fixed that for you. Maybe we are all characters in The Sims and to us this is photorealistic but to the gamer this looks incredibly blocky…

    Crysis is great, get the trilogy.

    The 500 year old question

    Moving assets between different names/changing identities wouldn’t be a massive hassle. Re maintaining cash value, have you heard of crypto…? There’s always going to be ways to store money, for example companies exist in perpetuity until wound up or struck off, so a bank account in a company’s...

    The 500 year old question

    I wonder how people’s answers would differ if you live for 500 years but have the same lifecycle just more spread out - meaning you still get old but progressively slower. It would probably suck to have arthritis for 80 years of that!

    It’s all thanks to Demolition Man :D

    The 500 year old question

    Imagine how good you’d get at saying “no”!! That’s a skill you only really learn as you get older :)

    The 500 year old question

    Is this making anyone else think of the guy in The Simpsons with permanent hiccups - “‘hic’, kill me, ‘hic’, kill me” :D Would there be some way of bringing people along with you, like biting them on the neck or something? I’m sure I’ve seen that work somewhere :confused: There’s a good...

    Ideal driving wheel + pedals for 6yr old ( and especially me!)

    I remember finding the G25 plenty fun enough so I am sure a G923 will be exciting. I tend to fall down rabbit holes when it’s just a bit more for x and then just a bit more than y and end up getting something that’s far more than I need. The only thing that’s put me off the Thrustmaster T300 RS...

    Not sure if I shoulda brought popcorn or protection to this little reunion… :eek:

    Ideal driving wheel + pedals for 6yr old ( and especially me!)

    Thanks for the feedback, which games did he try? It would predominantly be for my 10yo, so whilst he can be fickle with things computer games is something he’s really into.

    Ideal driving wheel + pedals for 6yr old ( and especially me!)

    I don’t really care about how competitive I am, more interested in immersion, so I can definitely see the appeal of the smoother, more realistic experience a proper quality DD setup gives you, I just can’t justify the extra cost rn.

    Ideal driving wheel + pedals for 6yr old ( and especially me!)

    I was falling down the Fanatec rabbit hole the more I researched it and ending up with a shopping basket pushing £1k then I needed to bring myself back down to Earth knowing that I won’t get to use it that much and it will mostly be the kids so a £200 Logitech will do nicely. I need a foldable...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Yes it will drop anyway but would need the bank to lower their standard rate before my new mortgage commences in order to take advantage. Coming from 0.79% above base the 1.44% above is a further kick to the nads.

    Ideal driving wheel + pedals for 6yr old ( and especially me!)

    OP what did you go for in the end and how is your kid getting on with it? There are some good deals on the G923 at the moment so I’m considering that rather them more expensive DD options (though I expect we’ll catch the sim racing bug and upgrade later on…). I used to have a G25 a decade ago...

    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Any sign of Barclays following suit with the other lenders yet? My renewal is coming up and I’ve been offered 1.44% above base for a 2yr tracker. Will we find out 1 Feb whether the BOE will change the base rate? I presume it would be unprecedented for them to drop it by more than 0.5% in one go?

    Samsung announces 2024 OLED monitors - CES 2024

    49” ultrawide, that’s nuts! I’d love one instead of triple monitors, can’t imagine the price will be anything even remotely close to affordable though.
