Installing Steam, if you're on in an hour I'll join you

It is the daddy of survival games, and it's also the reason you joined FG and became one of the BFFs ❤️

Ya, was good fun. Just highlighted even more how hopelessly shit I am, even noobie @Kurt even beat me! For me personally, it got a bit late. I get up at 4 on Fridays so finishing after 10 is a no go. Is there any way we can shorten the night?

Participating in the lottery isn't about the money either, it's about the fun you have and the friends you meet along the way 😂

I really want this to happen. I want used cars and proper tuning again!

I think England did very well getting as far as they did tbh. It's a shame they conceded that goal to Italy last night and at times they didn't look all that professional but I think Southgate has achieved more with this team than most have in decades and that gum he chews on every match must be broken down to a molecular level by the end of the game 😄 Feeling a lot more confident for the World Cup after this tournament, the team have shown a lot of potential.

That's ridiculous Steve. Honestly, the level of detail is on a whole different level. Does the two-poster work as well? Looks to be slightly elevated?

Just the other day I was thinking to myself "I wonder what happened to that New Car Game everyone was raving about a decade ago". Turns out it's Wreckfest. I'm not the brightest bulb in the box.

Get cracking then! Post up a benching thread for actual benching 😄 Yeah, not a good look. Mine's still under warranty so I've no issues tweaking it until it begs for death.

The hoarding thing was some next level cuntery. In a display of stupidity not seen since humans were still tadpoles, everyone decided that fuck everyone else, their needs are more important. What the fuck do you do that you need 600 rolls of loo paper? How thick do you have to be to think that a) people haven't been wiping their arses without bogroll for thousands of years and many still do, every fucking day, and b) that we're going to run out of the stuff? I mean, I've not even finished high school and I could've told you that had it gotten to that point, people would be cashing in like motherfuckers to make the stuff. A literal gold mine of arsepaper. Oh, of course bogroll is only domestically manufactured because nobody's gonna pay for a shipping container of a product that only achieves about £5/ton but no, we're all gonna run out and we must buy all of it as much as possible and fuck that old lady in the aisle who's clearly struggling and needs it more than you because China's having supply trouble. I ended a lot of acquaintances because of that, and I think I unfriended about 100 people on Facebook because of it too. Selfishness is one thing, being as intelligent as a retarded crab is another, but both combined? Get the fuck outta my life, ain't nobody got time fo dat Anyway, I can rant for weeks about the absolutely dismal state of us as a society which acts to remind me more and more every day that not wanting to bring kids in to this dumpster fire of a planet isn't such a bad thing after all, but here's a thoroughly entertaining video on it:

Just had a quick peek at this Arrma Felony, never heard of this brand before, and it's awesome! I want one now dammit!

A hundred and sixty miles per hour? Like real speed, not scale speed? That's insane, that'll do some serious damage if it goes wrong!

@Plumbers Crack and I had a little impromptu bench-off last night and it was fun to just see what sort of scores we were getting. Of course putting my PC next to his was the tech equivalent of putting a Datsun next to a GTR which was very obvious in the scores, but it was still fun nonetheless. Of course this will only be a brief little thing for a week or two but it's still a bit of fun. When people start taking it seriously it always ends up costing more than the GDP of a small country but as a bit of fun it's worth a go, and overclocking always adds an element of fun. This has also reminded me that I've still got a £50 Amazon voucher to use and a fresh tube of Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut in my drawer so I can pop a new cooler on my CPU and twist the knobs a bit. If there's enough interest I'll put together a benching suite and a leaderboard. Please tag anyone who might be interested! @phil bottle @crispymorgan @GazzaGarratt @Greboth etc.

This virus has killed a lot of my faith in humanity. I always knew that people could be cunts, but there was always that little bit of optimism that it was a phase, a bad day, a bad mood, whatever - and that these people are actually generally nice people. But seeing what a scene people make when asked to wear a mask, social distance, or just generally respect the health and wellbeing of those around them has killed any optimism I had. I've sadly come to the realisation that a large part of our society is filled with gibbering retards who think that the slight discomfort of a mask is more important to them than the safety of those around them, regardless of any conspiracies or bullshit. If people are dying, and it might or might not be a virus, but you can help eliminate a part or all of the risk by simply wearing a mask, then fucking do it - the end. But nope, we won't be told, I refuse to be told by anyone what to do, the adult equivalent of "you're not the boss of me nanaaanaanaaanaaa". Just look at all these idiots who must absolutely go on holiday, and then whinge like little bitches because they have to quarantine when they get back. How utterly selfish are these people? By far my favourite however are the "I don't need to social distance or wear a mask because I've had both my jabs" - congratulations on telling the world that your education has failed you spectacularly. Please enjoy wearing the invisible "I'm an idiot" label that the less-stupid parts of society have stuck on your head. As someone who's worked through the whole thing, lost his job because of it, lost his gran during (note: not because) it and was unable to visit his mom and give her a hug after she just lost her mom, seeing the utter disrespect and arrogance of many people around me is fucking depressing. As much as it kills me to say it, I do honestly believe that this virus is doing the world a favour. It's just such a shame that so many good people are being taken along the way. I think I need a little ditty to cheer me up, fuck me that was depressing to write.

@Kurt should be able to join too then. Also, stick me on the list if it's not too late.

Epic game. It's a bit like STALKER matched with Dead Space, and will fuck with your brain. I could only play shortish sessions at the time because I was a little bitch, maybe I should have a go again.

Pretty sure La is well versed in the WoW stuff. I cancelled my sub again, it expires tomorrow. I'm tempted to have one last night on it tonight but I can't risk being sucked back in, now that BC is out. I went through a hardcore phase though, I ran two guilds, cleared every raid every week across three toons, and was a dab hand in the arena too. I also did auction house PVP and was maxed out on gold on a few toons too. In fact it got so bad that when I went to certain sites at work, I used to take my laptop to work, teamviewer in to my home PC by tethering to my phone, and reset all my auctions whilst being paid on the job. I really took it too far. I've never been addicted to any other games though, I mean I've put in some serious hours, but that was mainly due to the awesome company I had rather than the game. Anyone who was around during our MW2-BO2 days will know what I'm talking about.

My GPU is in for repairs at the moment, so I'm on a trusty old 750ti, which I think will spontaneously combust if I throw SC at it 😂 Will definitely give it a go once I've got ye olde trusty 2070S back tho, so I can be put to shame by @Plumbers Crack 's new monster 😄

I can't even with this bloody tournament anymore.

Fuck Holland in the fucking fuck, the fucking cunts.

We picked up a brisket on Saturday too, it's in the freezer. I'll be doing it one night this week. A full 24h cook, followed by a quick sear in the oven. Can't wait 😄

A nice 350g wagyu rump and a 750g sirloin. The Wagyu was an off-the-cuff thing I spotted at Asda, the sirloin was from the Parson's Nose (who do amazing meats). Salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, vacuum bagged. 2h for the sirloin (2" thick, longer time), and 1h for the rump. Both at 60deg. Quick sear in a pan with some olive oil. Served with some proper home-made chips, long stem broccoli with pesto and roasted pine nuts, and a variety of home-made sauces (chimichurri, pepper sauce, steak sauce) and a bottle sauce (everyday Chilli Sauce from Sauce Shop. Lovely.

Well, I certainly know where I'm staying when I visit the States. I'll book two seats on the return trip. Hopefully next to each other, be a bit awkward otherwise.

Hey guys! Guys! Guys! I worked in that building!
