    PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

    I havent played it in years but looking at steamcharts it appears to be on an uptrend in terms of player count since last August. The bots put me off, not interested in that, are they in every lobby or can you play in servers/matches without them?

    What watch do you wear?

    I've been pining for a Rolex like many for quite some time but I refused to play the games, buying other brands or jewellery to get into the AD good graces or pay grey market prices. It does sound like things have changed a bit based on your experience and others that I've read. I think you...

    Blackwell gpus

    I wonder what the pricing strategy will be this time between the 80 and 90 tier of GPU, I think the upselling to 4090 worked better than Nvidia imagined though a lot of that seems to be fueled by the AI crowd (which presumably will still be the case for 5000 series). Tbh if I was them I would...

    Egypt seems to work okay, my Turkey year sub has come to an end (very sad) and after touring Europe in my hypersonic jet (nord VPN) I couldn't get ukraine etc to work but egpyt does, using revolut virtual card £1.08 a month. For the 2 days I was without prem, holy crap it was infuriating to...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    Trading 212 and Freetrade both have that stock, those are the main 2 I use, just whichever takes your fancy really, trading 212 has a desktop version where as I think freetrade has that behind a paywall. Out of interest (not saying your wrong) how are you arriving at your return figure?

    Official 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Thread - Corniche Circuit, Jeddah - Round 2

    They used to have a fully assembled spare car at the race weekend in case of accidents etc, I would happily boot out a team and let the remainder have 3 each, I've always thought it would be hard for teams to favour one driver in that scenario as the other two could gang up on them. That or a...

    Official 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Thread - Corniche Circuit, Jeddah - Round 2

    I wonder what the FIA etc is thinking at the moment, are they just going to hope/pray that they don't haemorrhage too much of the audience they have built before the 2026 season? There was action taken against blown diffusers, F-duct and mass dampers etc, presumably as the current regs are so...

    Official 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Thread - Corniche Circuit, Jeddah - Round 2

    Worse than last week? I voted 2/10 last week, I will give this 3 because of the safety car and Bearman giving us a bit more interest.

    NHS=Negligent Health Service

    Something will need to give, on ''Debate night'' (Scottish question time basically) a few weeks ago, there was a Labour MSP who said that by 2050 their projections are health spending will be over 50% of the total budget (I believe it's about 30% at the moment, Scotland has an older population...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    I suspect they will get close to if not exceed the IPO/ATH, we are only now in the ball part of what the shares were at around the last crypto bull run. My average in them is $76 so thinking I should take profit but they are making a fortune in fees currently and are the custodian of I believe...

    F1 Season 2024 - Pre-Season Thread

    I think the budget constraints have a lot to do with this, RB advantage is essentially locked in and the additional wind tunnel time isn't having the desired effect of bringing the other teams into contention, 23 was more dominant than 22. Re the points on a spec series, maybe I'm wrong but I...

    F1 Season 2024 - Pre-Season Thread

    I agree but also think 25 just going to be a repeat of 24 as the teams will be concentrating on the rule change for 26? I think the only hope we have is RB hit a performance wall with the philosophy of the car.

    Your country needs YOU!

    It is correct that it's not possible/practical to navalise the Typhoon but F35 does not replace Typhoon, that is GCAP/Tempest which as said is not til 2035 assuming no delays and likely 5 plus years after that to get anything close to meaningful numbers if F35 is anything to go by. We are down...

    Your country needs YOU!

    Presumably, this is an attempt to shift the needle in public discourse on the military. There was a bit of an uptick in support of the armed forces in the immediate aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine but since then it's back to ''more money for the NHS/Education etc''. Not unworthy...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    It's end of this year isn't it? I reckon they will be tough to get a hold of until probably January of 2025. I'm using a 3070 too and considering an upgrade, though I don't think there are any games this year that I can't get by on. As mentioned above, the best value is found at the beginning...

    NVIDIA 4000 Series

    Thinking the same but dread to think what they will charge for the next gen, I understand 4090s are particularly popular with the AI crowd so I see the 5090 going higher and it dragging up everything else along with it in price.......

    Official 2023 United States Grand Prix Thread - Circuit of the Americas, Austin - Round 19

    Switched off quite early on, I've never liked that track, it's not got any of its own character it's just a mish-mash of other tracks as if someone asked an AI to make them a layout. I wonder how good the retention is during a race/viewership is in general, it must surely be dropping? If the...

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    I have a question on Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales. I note there are a number of performance/fidelity modes but the VRR/120hz modes are confusing me a tad. I have a TV that can do 120hz, my question is there any reason why I wouldn't run the 120hz mode (e.g. is the game sacrificing...

    Apple September Event - 12th September 2023 @ 18:00 BST

    I do miss being able to one hand the device, you can, sort of do it with the max but as soon as you want to start interacting it inevitably requires both hands. I can't help but think a size in between the two would be ideal but for as long as this is the choice, the advantages of the larger...

    Official 2023 Belgian Grand Prix Thread - Spa-Franchorchamps, Stavelot - Round 13

    Perhaps they should mandate half a tank of fuel so we don't have to lose racing laps in a sprint?
