Diddums

Porkies, you nudging us is what keeps this shit going. With the community spread across various platforms and also games, during this time where everyone's lives are fractured and dripping in FUD that little nudge, at least for me, is comforting. For all the shit I give you, I'd be even more pissed off if you stopped, and I mean that. So keep poking and prodding. Again porkies. Stop talking yourself down. You're the backbone of this place, time to start realizing it ❤️

*COUGH*

Well, what a year this has been huh? I think we can all agree, to put it bluntly, that this year can go fuck itself. That said, one thing that's been a constant throughout this fuckup of a year is this place, the people that make it, and the website that Leigh won't shut up about. It's not gone unnoticed by most of us that Leigh has put some significant work in to this place over the last few months and kept the ball rolling as much as possible, whilst still being the responsible adult we all love and sometimes need. So to that end, and with FG being FG, we clubbed in together to do something we all know Leigh would appreciate the hell out of. So we rummaged around sofas and sold our bodies on the streets to be able to do it, but Dad, you can cancel your PS5 pre-order as we've got one for you. Thanks to all who participated in this, regardless of how you participated it's always appreciated and the love is always felt in this community. Happy 2020 you irritating fuck, hope you have many more years with us ❤️ THE BIG ASTERISK: We're struggling to get a proper pre-order in, Very cancelled ours for some reason so we're seeing what we can do, so if you have one that's still valid please keep it and we'll send you the money rather than have you waiting unnecessarily long. If we manage to get a reliable pre-order in I'll update this thread. See you all online champs!

Happy Birthday Rachel, hope you're having an epic day dude ❤️ I'll have to find you an extra special chair next time I'm online.

Cmon Tommy, you know better than to ask these questions. It all depends on what you play, what resolution, what graphics settings and what you'd consider a playable framerate. Off the cuff I'd say another two years easily provided you're not expecting 100fps @4k on everything in a couple of years time. This new 3k series of cards are looking good. Everyone's raving about them because they're such a huge leap above the 2080ti, however I think this says more about the 2080ti than it does about the 3k series. The difference between the 2080ti and the 1080ti is pretty much negligible, whereas the difference between the 980ti and the 1080ti is massive, the same again between the 2080ti and the 3080. It's always been like this with Nvidia, massive upgrade ---> mediocre upgrade ---> massive upgrade ---> mediocre upgrade. AMD has been awfully quiet during all this, I can't wait to see what the 6 series cards offer. With them shitting all over Intel they've likely been able to plough a fucktonne of wedge in to R&D in to their GPU arm. We can only hope it pays off. Never know with AMD, it could be an absolute stonker, or it could be another Radeon 7.

I'm yet to find this "good company" of which you speak and I founded the fucking place seven years ago. The company on here are basically what you'd get if you ordered friends from Wish.com I jest ofc, I'm honestly proud to call some of these scamps and delinquents my friends, these guys can turn even the shittiest days in to a good one. Welcome aboard, hope to see you online soon 🙂

See you online then chief!

But fo shizzles, yes, absolutely. Get rid, like the bottle says, it'd be ace to build a proper base from scratch rather than piggy back off of other stuff.

No, I'd like to keep the current one please.

Matt. His name is Matt. @Misneach_

That was good fun, thoroughly enjoyed it, cheers all 😄

Maybe.

This is going to be a game changer, mark my words. This is AMD's comeuppance for all the shit they've been dumping all over Intel in the CPU market. Whilst expensive, the fact that you're getting so much bang for those bucks at least brings the performance in line with what you're paying. This all remains dependent on what the benchmarks look like obviously, and not what Nvidia's chart says as we all know how easy it is to bullshit charts in your favour. I'll be honest, my 2070S is looking a bit dated already if these charts are accurate but there's no reason to update yet, it still shreds at 1440p. It'll suck to see everyone else running circles around me though 😄 @Plumbers Crack this will definitely be a boost to SC but keep in mind that that game is still an alpha and extremely poorly optimized. I'd say that the vast majority of the time the game runs poorly, it's not your PC, it's the game. It might be worth playing something that's very well optimized for a bit just to see how well it runs, to give you some context, before you judge your system's performance on SC. Do yourself a favour Dave, download the following games (all free) and play them for a bit, just to see how things play out. Also ensure you have Nvidia's overlay enabled so you can see your FPS (I have this enabled at all times, let me know if you need instructions): Planetside 2 (if your PC can run this at good settings and good FPS, it'll run anything, this is a massive game which in the right fight will bring your PC to its knees). Team Fortress 2 Destiny 2 If you want, even World of Warcraft has a trial (the retail version which is the wanky shit one, but it's worth it just to see how it runs). Remember, you can delete all of these whenever you want, it's just for trialling purposes to get some context.

I changed it, that looks much better. No wonder it looks like a fucking mong, it's the Twitter set. Just representing their members :D I think this is easily removed too tbh. I'll have a poke around.

@GazzaGarratt how hard is it to change the smiley set? The grinning one at the moment looks like someone with down syndrome 😄 😄 😄 😄

Feds must've got hold of them. Can probably find them elsewhere tbh. Never heard of Blake Stone, a quick google looks like it runs on the same engine so it must be pretty decent.

I thought they were chopping the game up in to pieces, so you can still access the stuff, you just need to load up a whole different "game"?

Heretic & Hexen are £6 on Steam 🙂

It was always gonna happen, only a matter of when. These cards are gonna be hungry as hell.

I'll wait until all the stolen used copies turn up in CEX I think.

Hey welcome dude 😎 Thats a beast of a PC you have there. Do you have 7 Days 2 Die?

Welcome aboard! You’ll be forgiven for playing on the wrong console as you have an opportunity to rectify this very soon 🤗 Do you only have an xbox? Pc or anything? @slamminbones can suck a chode.

Another lovely intro, welcome aboard! Please start any thread you like, we’re a very easy going bunch on here 🙂 @Middle Class Caveman is big in to his TTRPGs and hosted a game of Call of Cthulhu for us a little while ago and it was fantastic. I’m sure he’ll pop in here, I know he hosts DND nights one night a week, might be worth asking about if you’re keen. Short stories sounds great, do you have a site or something we can have a mooch at? What games are you currently playing, and on what?
