Microsoft have really struggled with their UI since the Xbox One - they seem to like bloat rather than simplicity and functionality. I don't know why companies keep things simple than trying to convince their users they have some sort of state of the art supercomputer with limitless functions. 360 was clean, simple and very user friendly. The Series X doesn't seem as bad as the vanilla XB1 though but I can't believe Microsoft struggle so much with this aspect as evidenced by the Windows Store also.

@GazzaGarratt can't say I'm happy as he definitely wasn't one Tottenham planned to get, but hopefully he'll help improve some of our younger players and get them into the team a bit more (got to look on the bright side). Noticed that very rarely Jose would start or feature a youth player unless it was a early cup match, and it's a shame because we have some really fantastic talent such as, Tanganga, Rodon, Sessegnon, Winks, Skipp, Clarke and many more! Otherwise I'm not overly pleased on the appointment, not a big fan of his playing style or his choice of transfer targets, but we'll see how he does!

I've gotten the unofficial word I'm making LT day after tomorrow and will be going back to Investigations. I'll be taking over the Domestic Violence unit, an office of 15 detectives and 2 sergeants. I'll be a M-F day shift office drone driving a desk with my ass all day. My wife says it'll be fun. It won't be fun. But, it's the first time in...18 years or so I've had a M-F job. I don't know how long I'll have this office, as I'm likely to be offered the next opening in Homicide. I still won't be a real cop again, but I'll at least see them on occasion. 😄 I'm glad to be promoted but it's bittersweet. Being a field sergeant has been the best job I've ever had. I'll miss it. I won't miss wearing the armor or gun belt.

No worries! It doesn't seem like many people will be around this weekend anyway. It's summer everywhere. 😄

I'm alright with Nuno but we'll see after the first couple of games how it goes. We do have some youngsters that I'd like to see involved in the 1st team and if Nuni encourages that then I'll be happy. Dane Scarlett in particular. Would also like to see Sessegnon get a go now he has returned from a successful spell in Germany.

It's surprising how off putting it actually is. It's weird, if you press the Xbox button on the pad it brings up a mini UI which is much better.

If thats the case with the UI i'm pretty disappointed about that. Its one of the few things that stopped me playing my Xbox One after being pro-Xbox from the OG Xbox and 360 era. It shouldn't matter too much but in the end if games are pretty similar, UI does really matter. We've seen how crap the party system was initially on PS5 and it can hurt the amount of gametime you end up having.

i don't know yet if i can since weekend is coming and maybe the family would like to go out etc, but i will know until friday at best

No worries! Not sure a PC raid will happen this weekend as I have a full day booked with my mother, which will probably leave me looking for lots of alcohol by the end of the day. I'd like to see if others will just get used to the time too and run some other stuff lol.

It's a very strange and cheap appointment however it could work to a degree but I wouldn't expect any significant success anytime soon. According to my friend at BT, it was a rather convenient and knee-jerk appointment and they were not willing to let it go into July which ruled out Martinez. Tottenham's shortlist choices and the available managers was absolutely diabolical though and I sense desperation which likely rubbed-off on a few front runner choices. It doesn't appear there will be significant resources either and with Kane likely to depart, it's a task right from the off.

@Greboth and @GazzaGarrattthanks for taking the time to make these for us, can't wait to start making our liveries now for the Summer League. They're going to look ace!

How you feeling about this Philly? James @Lurch ain't feeling that great about it so far! Good deal for them. Seems they mean business in the market this year.

@TurboR56Mini and I watched The Tomorrow War yesterday. I do enjoy seeing Chris Pratt take on these roles. His demeanor is just enjoyable to me. Fun action sci-fi movie. It actually had 2 story arcs/chapters through the whole thing. I thought the movie was over, but nope, still another segment to wrap it up. Thought that was cool. Definitely a one-and-done movie. But, I could see some additional stories still happening to explain whatever the nonsense was that caused the aliens to actually be on the planet... Not going to give spoilers. You'll just have to watch it. Definitely a little obvious for two of the major underlining plot mechanisms. You'll see it within the first 10 minutes, I think. And, you'll figure it out before it happens lol. All in all, good times.

Latest car I've been working on. Just finished airbrushing this body for it. This car is an Arrma Felony and will do about 85mph. I've never been a fan of stock factory painted bodies so figured I'd airbrush a new body for this one so it looks as fast as it is capable of going.

Millionaire YouTuber's scamming kids once again - it's the usual suspects of scumbags with Faze Clan at the fore Scam the Kids: The ‘Save the Kids’ crypto scandal involving several UK YouTubers is a painful reminder of the volatility of cryptocurrency and the dangers of trusting influencers - opinion - Esports News UK ESPORTS-NEWS.CO.UK Let's not be so quick to forgive and forget our favourite influencers fibs or fraudulent behaviour, argues Esports News UK editor Dom Sacco in this opinion Anyone that views these influencer e-celeb morons as credible in the slightest is a fucking idiot that deserves to be burned. As per usual, YouTube probably wont do anything even though they have concrete policies in place where external behaviour can lead to platform punishment. It'll probably fizzle out and be gone and forgotten in a couple of weeks are per usual until the next scam but I hope the authorities do take some proper investigative action here and issue the appropriate punishments because it's pretty serious underneath. It really is amazing what filth like this can get away with in the internet world.

I think our first raid on PC went well! And, it seems like the 11AM ET/4PM GMT on Saturdays works for everyone. Only exception is that my next 2 Saturdays are a bit full with other plans. I'll still post a Destiny 2 PC event, but you guys can decide on what you want to do during those times. I think just getting the rest of us adjusted to playing on PC would be a good idea anyway. I should be back on schedule for July 24th. (Side note - my next 2 Sundays are MMA free with a schedule change... so I'll be around for our usual PlayStation raids on Sundays for those two days)

I've been playing a lot of this since its release and i've been really enjoying it overall. The setting is kinda cyberpunkish distopian future with psychi abilites and a hack and slash kinda DMC gameplay style. The story is really out there, I wouldn't expect anything less from Japan, but it's really the combat that has been a blast. The camera and lock on system really needs a patch big time. That'd be my only gripe. It's very inconsistent when you're locked onto an enemy but never attack it directly when locked on. That's probably my only complaint about it. If you're a fan of any Platinum Games developed piece or anime inspired hack and slash gameplay, this could be for you.

So did I Lee, it’s great playing on the ps5 for the quick load times and lack of dropped frames. Though honestly I can’t tell the difference between playing the ps4 version on the ps5 and the actual ps5 version. As for actual ps5 games, I picked up Miles Morales the other day. I got the ultimate edition so playing through the original Spiderman first which does have a ps5 upgrade too.

Bloody ridiculous that the deal is being struck in the middle of the Euros when there's already questions being asked about this exclusion so far and whether his head is elsewhere.

Benitez to Everton finalised. That means he's managed every team in Engalnd apart from Tottenahm😎

Nice medal. I have an over haul of t-shirts which I've seen people have had them turned into a blanket which I may end up doing as most of them just get but in the back of the draw. I only use Strava well my data syncs to garmin them it transfers over to Strava.

Death Valley

Some Fallout photos

Yeah, it's a pretty nice one. It's heavy, it feels substantial so you feel like you did something. 😄 T-shirt as well. Pic attached. No, I just use Garmin. I do use "Livetrack" to let my wife see my progress in real time.

The Xbox UI leaves a lot to be desired. I used to like the old 360 system but the current one is a mess. My TV supports 4k and 120 but I've only played Forza 7 so far, which is a great game but not as good as Gran Turismo imo. The game pass is going to save me a lot of money I think.

What makes you say that? You just need to make sure your house is roughly the same height as the Shard and you're sorted 🤷‍♂️

I did my first official race, a night trail run: 7.23 mi Distance 1:11:54 Time 9:57 min/mi Avg Pace 371 ft Elev Gain 62nd out of 475, 13th in my age/sex group. I was a little off my pace. I had to quit running for about a month because I tore some muscles in my abdomen, and that hurt my training regime of course. Plus, you know, taco trucks out west. 😄

Yup I'm strictly C&R these days. I love the taste of fish and eat it almost weekly at least once/twice, but I don't like to kill them when I can just buy it at the store so I haven't kept one in probably 20 yrs now. That one is a redhorse river sucker, they are somewhat in the same family as carp. They are a bottom feeder but I got him on a fly I tie that I twitch across the bottom to imitate a crawfish so I get the suckers every once in a while that way.

Yeah somewhat. The town is Mio which is a pretty small town about 3hrs North of here. There's about 100yards of shops and building right down town and that's pretty much it. The Motel is right at the one end of town not even 200 yards from the river so it's a great location. Weekends can get busy at the motel but through the week I usually have the whole place to myself.
