Ahhh damn, not had one of them in ages. Now I want it for breakfast dammit.

Never once was a truer word spoken from Sir Philip of the Bottle.

Incredible games. Had Generals on PC and played the hell out of Retaliation on the PS1. Did what @slamminbones did and used to link two PS1s together with @Findmartin so we could eventually ally and try and beat the two AI against us. The missions were so well thought out and its seems crazy to think back they had ideas of two discs where you essentially picked a side depending on which disc you put in. If any game out there of old deserves a brand new game in their franchise, its this one.

gasp, say it ain't so, they cancelled this masterpiece? who would have expected it?

It looks like Sony as well as a Tencent subsidiary have bought shares in From Software. 14% and 16% each. Also, Netease has bought Quantic Dream for an undisclosed amount. Who will be next? I'm still shocked Sony hasn't tried to buy Square Enix yet. Tencent, Sony Collectively Acquire 30 Percent Of Elden Ring Developer From Software WWW.GAMEINFORMER.COM The Kadokawa Corporation is still by far the largest shareholder, though. Detroit: Become Human Dev Quantic Dream Acquired By NetEase WWW.GAMEINFORMER.COM NetEase first invested in the studio three years ago.

Yeah, yeah, i'm back 😅 Didn't miss much then 😭 As I've got an absolute shit ton to catch up on, the only thing I've done tonight is delete some extra botty posts, delete the push notifications for them in the discord 'new post' channel and I've changed a few parts when logging in. One is Captcha, which is the security bot - we had it working behind the scenes but now its one where people will need to interact with the security application (essentially we now have the latest one available to us). Also changed the security question slightly too. I'm hoping we have a better 24 hours incoming....🤞

Cancelled after one season Netflix Cancels Resident Evil Series After One Season - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Netflix has canceled its Resident Evil TV series after just one season, something the streamer has done in the past for other adaptations.

Anyone a fan of these games? I probably haven't played any of the classics for almost two decades but have fond memories of them. Generals was probably my favourite as it was a more authentic military-based one with some really fun weaponry and missions. Never got round to the Zero Hour expansion which I am now eager to play. I'm kinda itching for the collection to go on sale on Origin so I can swoop the lot and am interested in trying Red Alert 3 plus Kane's Wrath too. C&C 4 was the death of the series in more ways than one but at least we got the remaster. Hopefully Generals will get one down the line although EA never do what their customers want. Most iconic thing about the entire series is the b-movie presentation and how they managed to swoop so many big actors - at times it does look like a potential porno is gonna break out but it was a really impressive part of the presentation that compensated for a top-down almost 2D series. Had a real charm about it despite the cheese.

The cinematic trailer looks sweet enough, but I’ll curb my enthusiasm til I see some gameplay. *I’m not sure if it’s directly related the the souls like of the same name that came out years back.

I didn't know there had been an update on this game but not looking good according to this chap.

I'm sure there was a thread somewhere but it's probably buried seeing that this game has been in development for seemingly ever and we haven't heard a peep for almost a year. New trailer has dropped though and it looks good - supposed to be out this year but we've heard that all before with this game

As there is nothing much worth playing for me right now, I've spent the last couple of weeks revisiting (and finishing) some classics which has been great fun:- Max Payne (2001) Max Payne 2 (2003) Alan Wake (2010) All these are Remedy titles who are a popular developer of the past two decades and have really unique titles that have really stood the test of time. Next on my list is Condemned: Criminal Origins (2006) which was title from the early Xbox 360 days which I've picked up on PC. Didn't get around to playing it back in the day but it's made by the same team that did FEAR so I'm definitely looking forward to it despite its age. Anyone got any old games on the go that they are working through right now or recently? I'm enjoying doing this than forcing myself to play some generic new release.

Hey @Luseth I work in the energy sector here in the states. I'm currently in the cybersecurity compliance side of the business which leads me to be on many different types of project related to your profession. I manage a department to handle all the federal, state, and local laws and regulations that are applied to our company from a cyber perspective. Needless to say with all the shit happening around the world, I don't get much sleep. I'm at Con Edison, the utility in NYC founded by Thomas Edison and we have some crazy infrastructure solutions to some of the things you were talking about. We too are moving towards more electrification as our gas business (O&G in general) is being targeted by many different groups at the moment. We also run the largest steam generation and distribution system in the world which offers a pretty sweat alternative to heating and cooling from an HVAC perspective. We run 300psi mains (20.7 bar) to feed large buildings like World Trade, Empire State, large apartments etc. They can use the product as is for mechanical applications or run co-gen and mechanical applications. As in, run steam powered turbines to generate electricity for their buildings and potentially feed back into the grid in addition to heating and cooling. The steam is super purified and is actually regulated by our FDA. We are also currently the 2nd largest producer of solar in North America along with some wind, but are looking to offload those assets in favor of taking that 4B in sale money to invest in storage which really is the future. Grid level energy storage will be the lynchpin in any successful renewables scaling like wind, solar, tidal etc. These investments will allow us to manage the future output for electrification of homes, cars, mass transit (most already are) and more. We are pushing folks to go one of the many heat pump routes as they are the best suited for the job moving forward. As a manufacturing engineer and quality guy by trade please GO OUT TO THE FIELD before you finish your designs. Far too often in my previous life in manufacturing would designers develop some shit that can't be made in the physical universe we occupy. I can only imagine the stories @Diddumshas about shit that that was poorly designed!!! Anyway, welcome to the fold, many of us are happy to talk shop in addition to gaming. You've stumbled on a diverse set of folks here.

Just picked this up in Asda, couldn't help myself lol. If anyone else gets one hit me up for trades lol

I love these types of videos

I have only done 1 vow so far and would like to do another one just wondering if 5 wonderful people would be down to help me do another

It looks great but lol at spending money on it 😁

The original version...

Mafia FREE on Steam from Sept 1st to the 5th

When is he back? We should just start mentioning him @GazzaGarratt and by the time he comes back he will have a thousand notifications and be like WTF! He will have to check them all and get obsessed. 🤭

And guess what just dropped today? Online play for both TMNT Arcade and Turtles in Time Arcade!

I remember using 2 fat tvs and linking 2 playstations up to playbwith friends many of hours of fun.

My biggest disappointment with this is that it feels like something from 2006. My biggest complaint so far, aside from all the damn bugs and glitches, is when enemies just spawn directly in front of you at any given time!!! I cannot believe that the people at Volition still think this kind of game system is good. For example, There's a line of missions where you have to kill a bunch of drug runners around a food truck, steal said truck and transport it back to your business venture. I get that if enemies are patrolling around and see me, fine. I'm busted and have to deal with it. But every 2 seconds, an enemy vans spawn right in front of you! And not just one, at least three minimum! It's ridiculous, and even when you deal with that group, several more spawn along the way. There's a lot that I'm enjoying about the game, but calling this a reboot or remake of the franchise was a total lie. No wonder they're giving credit to discord and reddit mods. They have to deal with all the complaints about this fucking game.

Where do you prefer comments? On here? Or YT? I suppose YT would be better for the algorithm? I will furnish you with top-drawer commentary 🙈😁 My group uses a virtual table top, as we live in different parts of the country... but yeah I'd have no problem without a tabletop, I prefer picturing everything in my head.

Some nutty deals appearing in their store - Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy on PS5 is $3 and $6 on Steam - literally a £50$60 product. Sadly demand has caused a wait list but get in there for a deal of the decade

I so want a Steam Deck. I wonder how many sexual favours I'll need to perform in order to get one? Man, the first time playing Halo on xbox was one of those sweet gaming memories of mine. The music, look, and feel of the game was so awesome at the time. I really dug CoD 2 but man, I hated 3.

Major public event going on right now across 4 days or so - one of the first in-person showcases since Covid and interest seems so minimal. Considering this is the PS5/Series X era, you'd expect projects aplenty and huge intrigue yet all we seem to be getting is free updates, DLC, space games galore and the same titles we've known for almost 18 months being promoted still. There really isn't much on the horizon to be excited about in the gaming landscape it seems. A couple of big names like God of War and then others that have style but questionable substance like Forspoken. It's just staggering to see interest so flat and a really mediocre line-up. Maybe there will be a few sleeper hits but other than that, we may be 4 years away from anything truly next gen and original. The Matrix tech demo from last year is about as good as it's gotten of late.

We talked a bit about it today for the next Dice to Pixels episode. I've got my eyes on quite a few games that were shown there, but I'm also annoyed with cinematic trailers that show NO GAMEPLAY!! Looking at you Atlas Fallen. 🤬

Same here dude, i'm trying to catch up on so much gaming but finding the time is so difficult sometimes

Bot post alert lol but really this is true. I forgot to mention it. After the last patch dropped, some players were given the wrong amount of credits. They couldn't fix it properly for those players, so they made every single player a millionaire. 🥳

An update this Thursday adds some new layouts of Catalunya, including the 'no chicane' Moto GP version. Great, I hate that chicane 😁

It's finally happened although you now still need a supposedly less intrusive Meta account. Too bad they put the devices up by £100 last month - people were in limbo because they wanted to get one before the increase but didn't want to be left in the dark as to when Facebook would finally remove the login. As per scummy practice as usual, they leave people in the dark on the cheap and then bait people as the price rockets Finally, the Quest 2 no longer requires a Facebook login | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM A simple email address will suffice.

I believe my phrasing was "This cunt I know suggested..." 🤪 But, in all seriousness. Adrian's good shit. I spoke with him last night about it and we're gonna see what we can do.

Alan Wake (2010)

"Hey Adrian, a guy I met on the internet said that we need to jazz the place up a bit"

New campaign trailer on PS5. This looks incredible. In the past COD has been slated for having poor graphics but that is absolutely not the case now. I'm looking forward to playing the campaign as the MW2019 campaign is great.

Ok, I finished the game. I didn't get all the upgrades for the village, but once I did unlock the majority of the upgrades for rituals, crown unlocks, and had a decent flow going with food production and all, I focused solely on blitzing the rest of the game. I will say that at the moment, there is a bug in the last area where you encounter Summoners. If you kill them while they are summoning, it'll spawn an invisible enemy that you can't kill. I ran into that issue twice while trying to finish the last area and had to leave the dungeon and restart. All in all, It was an enjoyable experience. It's not as hardcore as most other rouge-likes such as Hades, and I did find the town building aspect of it to be very upfront at the start of the game, which made it difficult to get into it. The combat is very basic but may turn off hardcore players looking for a meatier experience. My advice, I'd wait for a sale or PSN freebie if you haven't picked this up yet or are curious about it. If you really like town building games, grab it. The combat isn't that big of a deterrent and those sections are really easy to blow through.

They do that with Panzerottis or calzones here. Sooooooo good.

I've killed the second boss now. Once I discovered you only need a max of 12 cultists in order to unlock all the areas, I did just that and am focusing more now on the dungeon delving. I've run into a few bugs that have caused me to fail a few follower quests. One example, a follower informs you that their friend wants to marry you. So, if you have the marriage ritual unlocked, You can go into your temple and perform the ceremony. The only problem is there is only ever 6 followers in the temple when you do and half the time, it isn't the one you need to finish the quest. !@#$ Anyways, Let's go kill another boss or two.

I work in a bookstore on Sundays, England's oldest anarchist bookshop, which has been around since the 1880s.

Agree about shoulder charge, hate they did that. Just need to get rid of classy restoration due to how easy it is for hunters. In fact hunters in PvP is playing on easy mode😂 if they ever really need hunters there will be an outcry like a crèche full of hungry babies.

they require regular maintenance, like you could get away for 5 years without a service on your boiler, you do that with a heat pump and it needs replacing. @Plumbers Crack a heat network is designed with a hot water buffer vessel so the idea is you need to keep that at 70 degrees (it can be lower and then a hiu would top up the difference where required for hot water ising electricity) and there is a diversity calculation to determine the amount of heat energy you need to put into keeping the buffer vessel at that temperature depending on the number of apartments / spaces that require heating. The radiators are then sized on the anticipated flow and return temperature's so if it is designed from the off based on utilising ground source it wouldnt be an issue (though admittedly it isnt always the case). We haven't done it yet but 5th gen heat networks do utilise ground source heat pumps. It’s clever stuff when done correctly but I don't think a lot of them are being done based on ground source (you wont get a buffer vessel to stay at 70 with just ground source, it would need an additional heat source such as biomass boilers or hydrogen which most modern boilers that we install are capable of with only minor changes internally). But that goes back to my original comment that I am not sure the industry is set on one single direction currently.

We had heat pumps at one of my last buildings, the place didn't even have a gas meter, it was quite fascinating tbh. They're a lot more potent than people think, although I'm not entirely sold on the reliability yet.
