  1. 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.
  2. Well caught 🤣 Also me occasionally.
  3. 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.

    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.
  7. I haven't played WoW since February and PS2 in about 3 years you dicks 😂
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I'll be licking my wounds that day sadly 😞
  11. Ah yes, competitive eating. The ultimate fuck you to those unable to feed their families.
  12. Looks ace dude. If you want to bend it a bit and see how much strain you can really put on it, for free, download Planetside 2. That'll show you how much grunt you have in a live, proper battle scenario. I'll probably get the Gamepass too, it's insane value. The flower is a nice touch, did your boyfriend get it for you?

    Rugby

    As disappointed as I am, England brought their A Game and were absolutely on point. They deserved that win.
  14. Ohhhhh boy, I haven't watched the vid but if their previous track record is anything to go by then they're nerfing toitens and warlocks and extending the duration of blade dance by 500% and making the hunter invisible for the duration.
  15. The article isn't very specific, but what racism did this chap experience? Cricket's always been a bit of a clubby-cliquey sport, be interesting to see what scurries away from the inevitable incoming shitstorm. Fucks me off too, some of the world's best cricketers are Pakistanis and Indians yet they're treated like shit. Also you're welcome England, as a saffer, I hope you're enjoying your Cricket team.
  16. "Pls click my referral link" 😂
  17. Fuck me, multiplayer in the Stalker world, with permadeath, sign me the fuck up!
  18. Of course I still have it! One of my most prized possessions ❤️
  19. Sure, why not. Can I wear my Guardian Down shirt just in case?
  20. I know Steve, I'm not an idiot (on Thursdays). That was my whole point, everyone portrays things differently, whether it be the Holloywood crowd or the bloodsuckers in the media 😉 See you in 40 years, make sure you oil your rocking chair, I don't wanna hafta turn my hearing aid off when we're bickering again.
  21. He didn't pick up a gun though, did he? He picked up a prop. The fact it was an actual gun is irrelevant, he was told it was dead and would not fire any live rounds. You may say "it's basic stuff here in the US" to which I present to you some fellow Americans, how many of these people do you think would know how to handle a firearm? (Ok, Red would definitely know how to handle a gun and was probably barred from having one for risk of shooting one of these dumbasses, but still). Like I said, just because you and the people you hang out with know how to handle a gun, doesn't make it common practice. I'd imagine that the vast majority of Hollywooders, New Yorkers, and all the other metropolitan darling people wouldn't have a clue how to handle a firearm. Couple this with the fact that the company has literally paid someone to make sure it's safe, you'd expect it to be safe, no? Clearly not. Perhaps my impression of the USA is wrong and Americans all know how to handle guns but that's certainly what American TV wants us to believe. The press on the other hand wants us to think you're all a bunch of murderous psychopaths who shoot up schools for lols. Neither of these is true obviously, but I think it's far from unreasonable to expect an actor (note: not a lumberjack or a hunter or an engineer or anything "manly", an actor. Someone who's had their every beck and call taken care of for the last 30 years) to now know how to handle a gun. If he did know how to handle a gun, then the "armourer" (lol) wouldn't have been necessary. Either way it's irrelevant. This conversation will go round and round in circles for the next month with you refusing to see it my way and me refusing to see it your way until we get bored, move on, and have the same discussion when Macauley Culkin's grandson shoots Miley Cyrus's cyborg grand-daughter in the fanny in about 40 years and end up bickering about it in rocking chairs.
  22. No, sorry Steve, but you can't expect someone who's never had any training to know this kind of thing. It might be second nature to you, but as you say you're very much a gun fan. I suspect a Hollywood actor could tell you more about the viscosity of a cappuccino than he could about guns, and will likely have only fired live weapons a few times in his life. The studio obviously knows this, which is why they hired an armourer to handle the firearms. That's a whole different conversation however with its own set of questions, but the point is that whilst Baldwin could've very reasonably prevented this from happening, expecting him to do so without adequate training or exposure to firearms isn't realistic at all.
  23. I don't blame Alec, regardless of what I think of him. He's been acting for over 30 years and has never had any problems, so why would he expect to suddenly have a problem now? He's clearly not had any firearms training and is unlikely to be a gun owner so whilst "clearing the gun" might make logical sense to you, it won't for him. As far as he was concerned, he was handed a prop and told to fire it, so he did, to a very unexpected and tragic result. This really is one of those cases where this could've been avoided in many ways, however ultimately it falls on whoever's responsible for the health and safety on the set, as well as the managers. The prop guy should've been trained in the use of live firearms if they were using them, or the managers should've hired a competent company to handle these weapons for them. Ultimately this hasn't happened in decades so the risk of injury was considered so small that it probably wasn't even considered. There was no malice here, this was an honest-to-god accident with disastrous consequences and I feel bad for all involved as they were probably doing what they've been doing for years and on this one occasion it killed someone, and they now have to live with it. This isn't a case of finding someone to blame, this is a case of putting measures in place to prevent it happening again, and then blaming them when it goes wrong.
  24. no i don't need to raid i turn up, get drunk, get carried, provide the odd lols and get vex. tnx tho
