    Baldur's Gate 3

    It's entirely possible to resist the dark urge and play as a "good" character, and like a lot of the game it has plenty of interactions that support that path. Do recommend giving it a try, although

    You'll want to turn off upscaling / supersampling, and may need to lower anti-aliasing depending on how performance is after that.

    Also been lurking for a while, recently needed a new practical family wagon for carting people and things around so naturally went for the sensible option. No doubt not to everyone's taste but there's quite a lot to like. And by sensible I meant the other thing.

    Gaming industry - interview attire?

    Depends on the role, grade and the company - creative or engineering roles are typically less formal than, say, a leadership role at one of the corporate giants, so your more casual option would be fine. When I've conducted interviews, unless it's particularly offensive then attire isn't nearly...

    Biker's Cafe Chatroom

    Had my 1200S DVT for just over two years, although havent ridden for a year for obvious reasons. Used to favour tourers (Guzzis), dabbled for a while in adventure bikes (Caponord), but they all struggle when you want to throw them around a bit - the weight, big wheels and tall suspension really...

    I'm looking at metrics that show there's been plenty of server capacity, so issues are more likely specific to an individual server, account, or some other factor. These can be a pain to track down so detailed bug reports are invaluable. Interesting, no error messages, just doesn't connect? If...

    The servers are the exact opposite of overloaded, there were a few issues with Epic account linking but they were sorted on Thursday evening. What issues are you having - can you get to the launcher, main menu, in game at all?

    9 months, and yep the fuel sensor is on the blink already. Both dealers anywhere near me are owned by the same group, so I'm soon to be £1200 worse off :eek: Definitely going indy for the minor services. Had a similar dilemma but I just can't get on with the looks of the KTM, S1000XR came...

    Have you tried these? What you describe is often down to missing or broken .NET framework files.

    It's brilliant, been riding sports-tourers for years but they've always been a compromise whereas this manages to be great for commuting in all weathers, leisurely tours and (in the hands of a competent rider i.e. not me) scraping pegs. Mine's the 1200S so the Desmo service is a bit scary (and...

    Took the old Goose on probably its last ride of the year, stopped off at Hunstanton next to an immaculate example of its bigger brother: The exhaust wrap is still a mess, can't decide whether to redo it or take it off and refurb the downpipes. Back home and cleaned up, here's its slightly...

    Recommended tyres?

    Got these on the old goose, can't comment on what they are like on track as neither me nor the bike are really suited for it :) Otherwise I'd rate them roughly the same as the PR3s they replaced but slower wearing - looking at 10-12k from the rear, so good for the touring and commuting side...

    What do you want out of biking and where are you going, in 2019?

    Already sorted a new bike so I'm looking forward to getting to know its limits once things start warming up, although I suspect those limits are far beyond my own and what is road legal. I had to abort plans to do the NC500 this year so I'll likely be looking at it again.

    Got to keep my priorities in some kind of order - besides, they aren't foolish enough to let me loose on the official social media accounts.

    What did you do to your bike today?

    FTFY ;) The Caponord failed its MOT a few weeks ago - the rear brake disc had a low spot and was pulsing - partly my fault for not checking properly, but I barely touch it so hadn't noticed. Of course all the UK suppliers had no stock and were asking silly money so ended up ordering from AF1...

    OcUK HQ Motors Meet - Saturday 3rd March 2018

    Might come along if I'm not working that weekend. Tempted by Rainmaker's offer, I've been working on the RoSPA riding standard and it'd be interesting to see how much of it has affected my driving. Lexus GS 450h, or maybe some sort of Italian bike if either of them decide to work that day...

    Break out the extra large pot of T-Cut !

    Probably worth raising with the assessor, the last thing you want is to claim for the cosmetic damage then find out later down the line that the traction battery or cooling system is damaged. Having Lexus do their hybrid health check seems like a reasonable precaution, even if your insurance...

    Please help me to pick a bike?

    Well, as you're braced... :) It isn't entirely a myth, but it's also rarely the horror story that a lot of people try to peddle - Aprilias aren't known as the Honda of Italian bikes without reason. Mine has done 4 years of year-round commuting and has only left me stranded once due to one cheap...
