Diddums

Nah your trees are fine, it's more for the ones you can see on horde nights.

Well, I only really started in November and December was a washout but here we are. I'll do a more detailed post tomoz:

Consequences: Because none of us can be arsed to track strikes or any of that bollocks and quite frankly we shouldn't have to, the consequences system will be quite simple: For every infraction, you will face the Council of 7 Days. We will build a specific courthouse with chairs and whatnot, and you will attend an actual hearing which will be scheduled and free for all to attend. The host will be decided on the day, and the jury will be formed out of whoever could be arsed to log on and laugh at you. The punishment will be to either drop you 10 miles from the base with basic supplies so you have to find your own way back (and no cheating with beds, don't even think about it) or you'll be stripped of all your assets apart from food and drink, and locked in a jail which we will construct out of the toughest blocks known to man, where you will serve a predetermined sentence. These sentences can be shortened with good behaviour, such as great jokes, epic compliments or a surprise bribe by Uber Eats. It's simple - don't fuck up, don't face the Council. The end. Behave yourselves you evil little chimps.

Well, none of us thought it'd come to this but here we are, so read, obey, or face the music (Diddums will be fed extra alcohol on punishment night, pick your battles carefully). 1: You WILL stick to these rules. They are not negotiable, don't embarrass yourself with ifs and buts (lol butts). Failure to stick to these rules will result in consequences. 2: Respect other players and their property. If you destroy someone else's stuff intentionally, you will suffer. If you destroy something by mistake, then apologise and make it up to them. Or... you know, suffer. 3: Questing - When questing on someone else's quest, they get priority over loot and stuff. This means no dashing to the fancy boxes and nicking everything for yourself. If it's your quest, then have at it, both barrels. 4: When other people are placing blocks, you will not upgrade them unless asking for permission. Upgrading blocks is a lot of XP for those who do it, which is why we do it. Want the XP, build your own blocks you utter blockhead. 5: Logging off - No logging off right before horde night, it's not fair on others to log on and instantly have to tool up. 6: You MUST post in the 7 Days Discord channel that you're a big fat turkey looking for a fight. This will mean you've read the rules and we all get to laugh at you. 7: Contribute to the server. If you can make something that nobody else can't, then share it. You'll be given all that you need to craft it, but offer to help others and spend a few minutes hooking your fellow survivors up. 8: No robbing chests. Leave enough stuff for others, or ask if you can take it. This applies primarily to consumables like ammo, food and drinks. 9: No planting trees close to any bases, this ruins peoples' framerates and you'll be sick to death of me and my chainsaw before you know it. 10: If someone says they're looking for stuff, then keep an eye out. No need to go on the actual hunt, but keep your eyes peeled whilst looting / trading. 11: Looting - When looting stuff, then loot EVERYTHING. Loot will not respawn in containers that have been semi looted, so take everything and drop the stuff on the floor if you don't want it so it can despawn, and the container can respawn more loot. Have fun, have gun, shoot zombie, collect bacon, the end. See you online you naughty little scamps you.

Been loving this game lately, although I tend to just do quests, gather shit for other folks and generally piss about rather than actually craft shit. I still like to think I'm contributing even though I'm probably just irritating people, but whatever. I got a chainsaw yesterday and I think I harvested something like 50k wood sharpish which is great fun. I can literally just crack open a beer, stock up on food and drinks, and go chopping for a day or two. I love it, and I often come across care packages too, last night I found two. The base is coming along rather well and as @phil bottle has basically morphed in to a mole digging tunnels all over the place I think I might need to create some kind of map system. Might have another good sesh this weekend if I can.

I've hidden them all, firstly I'll apologise as I was cranky as hell last night and my response was in no way indicative of how I like FG to be perceived, so let me be the first to apologise. Secondly this place is a home for some, a family for others and an amazing circle of friends for everyone and posts like the ones I've hidden aren't in any way indicative of the ethos of FG so as I always like to say: Fuck all that shit, let's crack on.

I just lost interest in general. I played the hell out of Destiny over the last month or so, smashing out every quest I could followed by some ridiculous catalysts (Cryosthesia gets a special mention, what a tedious grindfest) and then started looking at the game as a whole. I don't care for the baking bollocks so just ignored that, crucible has been ruined with the latest changes and the new dares thing is just the same 5 minutes over and over. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand the grind and as a former WoW addict never shy away from them but Bungie's just taking the piss now, I'm starting to wonder how much of Destiny is a game, and how much is meant as a social experiment to see how repetitive they can make their game before people sack them off. I'll still hop on for raids and whatnot, but I'm just burned out with the rest of it.

Congratulations, you guys fly around in a flying floater.

Welcome dude, Cal's a lovely bloke so I imagine you're lovely too. And drink like a fucking pirate.

Merry Christmas you absolute champ scamps! I hope you've all been good boys and girls over the last year so Santa brought you lots of lovely toys!

Thoroughly enjoyed last night. @Plumbers Crack gave me a gun and @Greboth gave me a fire bat or whatever it's called so I actually managed to mash a few zeds and get a few skill points, which I've put in various basic things like stamina, recovery and buff duration from food. Yanno, the try to die less stuff. Made it to the base and just sorted the junk box a few times and put things where they belong. I'm going to see how to build a generator and make that my mission over Christmas week, and maybe start my own base like @tronic44 says. Good fun, just need to find my niche so to speak.

You know I'm getting old when I'm too lazy to correct your post.

Get the fuck outta here you fucking imposter. And leave my badge at the door.

This is absolutely fantastic as always, and seeing so many of the newer guarde getting these awards just goes to show what staying power we have as a community. Leigh has been nothing short of inspirational in his running of this place and should be commended as such, how that man has been able to tolerate all our (specifically mine) bullshit without turning in to a rabid alcoholic is beyond me, yet here he is dishing out all these fantastic awards to quite possibly the highest quality people on the face of the earth. A massive round of applause to all of you, and a massive thanks to Lee for all his hard work as well. Here's to 2022, wishing you all a Merry Christmas and an awesome new year. GGFG ❤️

Absolute fucking tosh. I don't care for either of these drivers but the FIA fucked them both over for some fabricated drama. Max's championship status will forever have an asterisk next to it, Hamilton will always be discussed in the same conversation and the FIA will be looking at raised eyebrows for many years to come. Back to MotoGP we go, none of this bullshit there.

Well caught 🤣 Also me occasionally.

People seem to misunderstand me. I don't pay full price for incomplete products or defective products. This isn't just games, it's everything. My tolerance for shit products or service is zero, and I'll stand by that until I die. I used to be a lot more forgiving, but once the penny drops that companies just abuse your forgiveness and tolerance, it's a slippery slope as evidenced by the last few years in the gaming industry. Anthem, Cyberpunk, Warcraft Reforged, GTA Remastered, to name but a few. These aren't the result of companies wanting to put out shit products, it's the result of people letting them get away with it. Why put in the effort to deliver a quality, well polished game if people are just gonna fork over the full wedge and let them play catch up for the next few months/years anyway? The incentive for companies to get their shit together is dwindling with every game release and they abuse it. I'm funny about this though and see where society's headed, I'll just forever be that one irritating cuntfish that's always swimming upstream.

Ok for srs, this is a good spec: https://www.very.co.uk/pc-specialist-fusion-sfr-gaming-pc--nbspgeforce-rtx-3080-tinbspamd-ryzen-7nbsp16gb-ramnbsp1tb-ssd-amp-3tb-hard-drive/1600660030.prd

Hmmmm. "I just want something good that will last a while and allow me to laude all over the console peasants, I don't care how much it costs" - sound about right? In that case, bosh: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pack-orionx2-dual-system-extreme-overclocked-pc-intel-core-i9-10980xe-and-intel-core-i7-10700k-fs-006-8p.html

Start with these questions, but perhaps more importantly, how long does it have to last you, and would you be happy to upgrade it yourself in a few years time? Also, what resolution do you want to play at? That'll define what graphics card you need. Those ones you linked above are silly money, you can get something good for half that.

I haven't played WoW since February and PS2 in about 3 years you dicks 😂

Your logic has no place in my emo rants goddammit. I don't need the whole list of features, I just think back to some of the older ones and realise quite how much is missing. Remember when BF came with so much shit in it that they had to come up with random new stuff just to stay relevant? Commander mode anyone? This doesn't even have proper squads, no scoreboard, no proper map, etc. Just give me the basics and I'll fork over.

James tho innit. Dude could win the lottery whilst being sucked off by Margot Robbie and still bitch about the paint on the walls 🤣 I'm starting to get the itch. I will fucking hate myself if I ever buy this steaming pile of shit but Density is getting stale again.

Ah yes, competitive eating. The ultimate fuck you to those unable to feed their families.
