    Mortgage Rate Rises

    Currently got a 150k mortgage remaining at 1.8% and up for renewal in December.. I'm starting to think we should ditch the new extensive driveway and flooring ideas this year and just pay off a significant chunk of the debt so our monthly payments dont change too much.. My builder wont be...

    *** Nintendo Switch ***

    Yeah really disappointed with Sports.. let’s be honest Volleyball and Badminton is just another take on Tennis so feel ripped off there. I knew I shouldn’t have listened to the Mrs asking me to ‘just’ buy it now without reading reviews first. Anyway, we’ve now got the old wiimotes out, Dolphin...

    Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

    The kids are away so finally got some time in with the Mrs.. as massive Lego game fans were a little underwhelmed at the moment. The levels feel so short compared to the original games! I understand it is now open world but the hub areas have felt very sparse. Oh yeah we preferred the old...

    Wii U so HDMI out. Played some Devils Crush today, definitely my favourite Pinball game by far.

    What retro things have you done today?

    Softmodded my Wii U to play some Gamecube games but sadly the picture quality is just awful on a big TV. Back to Dolphin emu then..

    What retro things have you done today?

    Brought an Anbernic RG350M. First impressions are extremely good.. good weight, premium feel all round including buttons and analogue sticks. Such a step up in quality from a JXD device I owned years ago.

    Commodore Amiga owners thread!

    Beautiful machine! Was always an MD fanboy as a kid but learned to love the SNES in my 20s.

    Commodore Amiga owners thread!

    Amiga emulation is brilliant.. I went through a period of trying to get the best out of my A1200 with ACA accelerators, Indivision VGA etc and while it was nice to have the real hardware, I had to be honest with myself that the experience was just better under WinUAE. Interestingly I don’t feel...

    Satisfactory Alpha release

    Come back to this after a long time.. loving it. Redesigned my layout a few times, moved from co-located (miner) burners to a centralised farm of burners and a cable layout that allows for expansion so less spaghetti ha ha. I try to keep things generic as possible so I can adapt to different...

    Bad computer jokes.

    Ive thought this for so, so, so long.

    Final Fantasy XIV

    Slowly going through EW when I can get on in the morning. Very much enjoying it. The queues are a joke though and while I’ve read all the reasons etc it just isn’t good enough for a company like SE.

    ******** The Official amateur radio thread ********

    Long time lurker in this thread.. not an enthusiast myself but my Dad had lots of CB and Amateur radio kit back in the day.. for some reason I just love ‘looking at’ this hardware.. must be the dials, buttons, displays etc that really scratch my nerdy itch. Keep it coming

    Final Fantasy XIV

    Decided I really should finish all of those blue unlock quests.. currently going through the Eden raids which is fun but struggling for tanks atm.. lucky I main tank and healer so pick whichever has the shorter queue. Music always delivers in this game.

    Final Fantasy XIV

    Finished post ShB quests.. not sure what to do now until EW. Sadly with the huge influx of new players I fear EW launch will be a disaster with 4 figure login queues.. may even unsub until new year when hopefully things will have settled down.

    Final Fantasy XIV

    After 4 months of hardcore play time (near 400hrs eeek) I’m finally nearing the end of post ShB msq. Sadly it’s not going to be worth gearing beyond ilvl 510 so close to the next expansion..

    Final Fantasy XIV

    Seems to be a lot of excitement for Reaper and Sage jobs in the upcoming Endwalker expansion so might be time for me to level a DPS.. dungeon queue times should be way down! I just wish SE could find a balance between too many cutscenes in FF and too many fetch/kill/forgetful quests like WoW.

    Final Fantasy XIV

    I started as WAR and levelled a WHM purely to skip dungeon queues.. levelled my MIN out of curiosity. I’ve heard levelling gatherers/crafters at the same time is a good approach but if mining has taught me anything it’s super expensive.

    Final Fantasy XIV

    Yeah I actually unsubbed originally for the same reason but then came back around May this year.. mmo itch! While you shouldn’t have to.. I keep things fresh by doing like 5 msq quests, then levelling a gatherer, then doing a daily roulette, then earn some MGP at the gold saucer etc. It’s just...

    Final Fantasy XIV

    It took some time for me to get used to the fact that MSQ is really just a visual novel. Post ARR patch content is a slog I won’t lie.. it’s literally go here, speak to this person, repeat. Heavensward onwards though..wow. Shadowbringers even better.
