My work day is a work night well it has been pretty much constantly since 95... just passed 37 years service as a CNC machinist in a heavy engineering company mostly producing pump equipment for the oil and gas industry. No we didn't do piper alpha😉. We have however done some world record stuff at times, I'm pretty proud of the stuff I've produced but im now looking forward to getting out for good hopefully at the right time with a nice wedge of redundancy. I'm also not just an operator but programmer and setter too. I've posted some pics on my ppr before but this will give some idea.

I lead a team that designs 5G and datacenter chips. It spans over 6 countries and 13 time zones So I get to have meetings at all kind of ridiculous hours but I get a lot of spaces in between which allows me to game if I want to. Customers are companies like Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, Microsoft, Ciena, ZTE, Rakuten, Facebook, Google. Most of the chips can be customized to the customers specific needs. The typically handle 1.6 Terabyte per second of data using serial links that individually handle 106.26 Gigabyte per second of bandwidth. Most of the interfaces are Ethernet, PCIE or wireless 5G I typically design review the designs or help the less experience people with the designs problems they might encounter. It's all done in Verilog/VHDL or Deep sub-micron Custom transceiver design

Nothing really blew me away here but then I'm still waiting for Stalker 2 and that's really the only upcoming game on my horizon right now.

So I am sat here this morning looking at a computer screen and if I'm being honest I can't really be arsed 😄 So I thought I would ask what people do for work and what are your day to day tasks like? For me I design relatively simple mechanical building services for residential complexes, literally right now I am producing a schematic for the water supply around the building, working out sizes of pipes and the routes they will be taking, little snippet below - Generally my work day can be quite varied, some days design team meetings, others doing drawings like the above, others it's meeting suppliers or sub-contractors and coming up at the end of this month is the first 3d project we are doing internally (which as the others in the design team have no experience of Revit I will likely be leading). So yeah what do you get up to in your work day?

I remember getting a claymore only nuke back in the day thanks to that set up🤣

Yep, I'm worried, but then I don't have my head stuck up my arse. I don't really think about it too much as I value my mental health 🙂 On another note, over population is a discredited myth usually only peddled by extreme right wing nut jobs these days, so now I'm dying to know who's been scaring Gary 😅 Over consumption, now that's a different matter.

In answer to your thread question No and no. Climate change denier is a dumb term because most people would agree the climate has always changed its the effect people have on it that's the point. My point is, I, like most live pretty average lives we recycle we don't waste energy as who seeks higher bills etc however I see those that are better off and or in power not changing their ways while expecting us too. We all have a limited time on earth and as such I would while I can enjoy it, I won't be giving up the things I enjoy, I'm not a hypocrite like those I see on social media. Also we can all agree that if technology exists to benefit a greener healthier world then great but not at any cost, putting time limits on hitting targets imo is not the right way to go, some better tech may get overlooked as it doesn't fit a particular timescale, see the EV debate. Also green initiatives seem to impact the poorer in society more. Nobody also seems to want to address a major issue population growth, does anyone think that's sustainable? 🤷

Finally a new Commandos game! Not getting my hopes up too much as these games are hard to pull off and not many developers even touch this genre but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

You know me too well 😁

I'm only getting Metal Gear Solid Master Collection and maybe MW3 this year. Haven't really checked out what's coming in 2024 as of yet I'm sure there will be a few surprises here and there especially from the non-AAA variety.

Onlyfans

I'm not sure who these right wing nut jobs are but having done a quick Google it seems some "environmental" sources etc seem to deem it one. However it's the over consumption part that I was hinting at especially the ever increasing throw away society aspect of it. No doubt that encompasses your dislike of the capitalist way of life.

That's the video I went straight to. I can see what he means about the maps but I disagree but then I'm pretty vocal on the state of modern maps so I'm at least looking forward to those maps and as I've spent so much time on shipment and shoothouse I can't see them getting boring. On the flip side the modern cod community can seriously ruin any experience 😁 One thing tho if this game is solid I can finally delete mw2 22 off my ps5....no doubt will need the space.

Need a Noob Tube and OMA as well for that authentic MW2 Wanker setup.

If not you'll always have ammo boxes

Mate, if I get Scavenger Pro, with claymores, I'll never get bored 😅

They look good but as Ace said in his video there is a chance that they will get boring very quickly. They'll be good for new COD players but not for veterans.

Watching gameplay in Favela yesterday brought back some memories. The old maps look amazing I must say.

Proper gameplay footage. I tend to trust Ace's opinion as he isn't scared to criticise a game if it's got issues.

Get in there!! We've been waiting for one of these games in the other thread about remaking some older games. And the great news that it looks completely new too. Like you say @J4MES OX4D, we'll have to wait and see what happens because there isn't any date confirmed 2024 just yet. Fingers and toes crossed.

I played it on Xbox, but it's available on PS5 now.

5 maps for the beta - Favela, Estate, Rust, Skidrow in the first week and then High Rise getting added for the second week.

Makes me want to get an Xbox Series @Riff Machine . Just to chill out on the sofa and play a game that just sounds hilarious and feels great. Did you play it on Xbox or with an Elite Controller on your PC?
