Dropped a like. I love qui-k-scoaperzzzzzz

Hey welcome buddy! Glad you joined the forum ❤️ I've changed your links a bit to reflect your post a bit more, hope you enjoy them fella. Have a great stay 😄

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea. As most of you know, I do the odd matched betting now and again, and a side effect of this is that occasionally the bookies want me to get responsibly addicted to their casinos. To do this they'll put a nice little lure on their rods and cast it to my bullshit Gmail account, and today I bit on one of those lures, nice and deep. Today's lure was from Grosvenor Casinos and it came in the form of a £10 bonus to use on their live casino. I'll save you the boring shit but live casino bonuses are always great as you stand the highest chance of making something. To do this, I needed to roll that £10 over 5 times which we always do on roulette as it's the most constant win. So I enter the roulette room and stick a quid on red, hit autoplay, 50 rounds, begin. The action has begun. Now at this point I'd like to point out that these offers tend to get flung at me on Fridays because everyone knows that responsible gambling is best promoted on a Friday night when people are pissed, this includes me. So usually when this happens I open a tab on my PC, do the autoplay thing and hop on the ps4. Like I did last time. Now you guys all know the loveable affable chappie I am after a few drinks so last time I did this I was prompted to pick a name. After a few beers. Anyway, fast forward a few months to this afternoon and the wheel is spinning, when the croupier (the well dressed meth heads who manage to keep the shakes off long enough to spin a wheel on a table) starts talking about horses. A bit confused, I put it down to him chatting to one of the players or something. Yet he goes on about touching horses, how disgusting this is, how unacceptable, etc. Proper moody, but I'm just watching the wheel spin and the ball hit the reds. This goes on for 10 mins or so, eventually penny drops when I win again and see my username pop up as a winner on the screen. I giggle to myself. He goes on. Horses this, inappropriate that, and he's getting more and more irritated. Eventually he reports me to the roulette police who then change my name to something less horsy. I've still not said a word in chat or anything, the only way he's seen my name is when I win. So now I wanna play his game. Hit settings. Change name. "safespacepls". Submit. Ha, that'll learn 'im. He starts flapping again at how disgusting this is and says it's unacceptable that I changed my name back again. The roulette police step in again and he's put his dummy back in. Confused, I try again. "safespacepls". He kicks off again, each time getting angrier and angrier. Eventually he's having a moment about how the supervisors are never quick enough to action these pigs who pick these names. The table is spinning. The ball is in action. Whilst he's having a flap, I'm trying to figure out why my name won't change, and in doing so keep changing it back from my supervisor - assigned name to my original name. The wheel slows, the ball lands on red. My name flashes on the screen so he can see it. He rips his cute little coat off, exclaims THAT'S IT and storms off. Someone else takes his place, sees my name and smiles, but never speaks it out loud. He's one of us. So today was the first time in many, many years I've managed to get a croupier to rage quit and it was completely unintentional. The name? Iwankhorses 😄 Funniest £20 I ever made.

All this is doing is making me want to replay the original tbh. Maybe I should record it and add some commentary or something.

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.
