    Helldivers 2

    Funny thing is I had a feeling it was possible, just one of those things with a bit of game programming experience you wonder if they've accounted for. (You can do it the other way around as well if someone is stuck in the ship entry bit to get them back into the ship - though I just tell them...

    Approved Used Land Rover - 'Almost New'

    The 4353456574567 point inspections aren't worth the paper they are written on.

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Seems we've got COVID going around one of the departments at work the last few days but they've been keeping quiet about it, 2-3 people tested positive, because aside from aches and light hay fever like symptoms for a couple of days no one is really ill with it or needed time off - been trying...

    The game doesn't indicate a lot of this stuff which doesn't help.

    Your bad driving encounters

    Dunno the circumstances but saw a car that had slammed into a wall on my way to work - must have hit upwards of 40 in a 30, from the skid marks must have been doing considerably more than that. Also from the angle I dunno how they even did it, not much room to carry speed through.

    Good thinking the stasis field things would make it easier as well.

    Chatgpt and Programming

    I had an interesting one with the much maligned DPD AI support chatbot the other day - I had a parcel where the sender had incorrectly entered the address - the house name was in the county part of the address and the house name just a -. First two attempted drops the drivers just went to the...

    @PinkFloyd - Spent ages last night with a random who was trying to do this with no luck - so many close misses :( Definitely encounter a lot more toxicity with crossplay on - I just ignore it mostly or just leave the group, PC only doesn't avoid it but definitely far more griefers and time...

    Upgrade from i7 8700k

    7900X3D got a price drop a week or so back - £399 on OcUK - to compete with the 14700K - but seems to have very mixed performance, possibly due to dual-CCD design (again you have to research CPU performance for the stuff you do most at the moment really as CPU performance is so hit and miss :( ).

    Upgrade from i7 8700k

    If you are doing non-gaming stuff don't go 7800X3D and/or definitely check benchmarks for what you are doing, I know I'm bucking the trend a bit but the 7800X3D really is 1-2 generations back for non-gaming performance on average, and can fall well behind other similar priced CPUs in specific...

    2023 - how's it been for you?

    When my grandad died my sister was trying to explain it to her 3 year old, how people get old and die. After the funeral back at the house she was knelt down cleaning up the toys and got up going "oof I'm getting old", her daughter was in floods of tears - took us awhile to twig.

    I saw someone get punished for team killing last night, they decided to kill everyone just before the shuttle left but fortunately I was suspicious and managed to board, then it came up in chat something about they'd been removed from the game for their behaviour - I've not seen it before when...

    5900x to 14700k worth it?

    For me this says it all - at 1440p and above the CPUs which are in the same ballpark are a lot more money than the 7800X3D and 14700K, though there are cheaper CPUs which aren't far behind. For best balance of gaming and productivity nothing really touches the 14700K at the price point, unless...

    Your bad driving encounters

    I see it quite a bit with larger SUVs and pickups where people seem to think the vehicle is bigger than it is, probably not driven it much, and stay very wide and/or go very close to the verge if something big is coming the other way, etc. as well as swing out like a lorry to take junctions.

    Your bad driving encounters

    Just saw the first car in ages to jump a red light, don't think it was intentional though - 2 sets of lights in close proximity where if the second set change on you while checking other traffic, etc. can be easy to miss the change.

    Playing on one of the planets earlier with fire tornados, dense smoke and fog and myself and a team mate with flame throwers with bugs just charging out of the smoke and onto our flame throwers LOL and all you could hear was the sounds of bugs all around us as more and more waves came in.

    The comments on this have to be some of the best on the internet LOL "You wouldn't download a car". This is probably why the serves are regularly going into meltdown :o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm0m2-vzHHo And some apparently unintended comedy...

    What do gamers actually think about Ray-Tracing?

    Something I'll say again that is mostly down to the implementation and/or limitations of hybrid rendering used (AW has some weird stuff going on with reflections and other effects in certain situations i.e. as you move around near the threshold between inside and outside locations, sometimes...

    Best network at the moment to use.

    Vodafone keep spamming me via text, email and letter even though I have marketing stuff disabled - which only seems to have stopped the 2-3 times a month, or 2-3 times a week sometimes, cold calling by their "value added" partners. Especially trying to sell me their broadband :s I used to rate...
