I really sucked towards the end of the season, my players did fuck all.

I’m set up now to record everyone’s voice no matter what we’re using 👍

Last night was immense fun, was great to see so many of us turn up. Looking forward to the next one already. I also need to work out how to record our voices when we’re not in party chat, we might have to start using discord.

It depends how many of us there are, what ever fits everyone in.

Epic work Lee!

Looks like the players are a bunch of cunts as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48276093 Manchester City: 'Battered' Liverpool fans song draws criticism Manchester City have been criticised over a video that appears to show players and staff joining in a song that celebrates Liverpool fans being "battered in the street". The video is thought to have been captured on an aircraft as the club's travelling party returned from a 4-1 Premier League win at Brighton. That victory saw the Blues beat Liverpool to the title by one point. It is unclear which players and staff - if any - are joining in the singing. The song - which City described in a statement as a "regular chant during the 2018-19 season" - recalls Liverpool's defeat in last year's Champions League final in Kiev. It cites fans being "battered in the streets" and "crying in the stands" and includes a line on Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah being injured - but with the original culprit, Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos, changed to City defender Vincent Kompany. However, many of the party only join in at the "Allez, Allez, Allez" chorus. "It's honestly embarrassing that some Man City fans think it's OK for their players to sing about fans being beat up," one Liverpool fan tweeted, while many more responded saying the video was "classless", "unprofessional" or "naive". City also said in their statement that "any suggestion that the lyrics relate to Sean Cox or the Hillsborough tragedy is entirely without foundation". Sean Cox was left with brain injuries after being attacked before Liverpool played Roma at Anfield in the Champions League in April 2018. Three Italian fans were jailed for their part in the attack.

You sir, are correct.

hmm maybe one to pick up when slightly cheaper.

There aren't any dedicated servers yet as it's still very early access, one of us would have to host and then we'd find some time where we can all jump on to play. This may be annoying to some but it also means that you won't come back to everything being unlock, which has happened in quite a few games as people have more time than others to play. I think we need to find more games like this, i like having lots of options to choose from.

Yeah i'm up for that

I've heard a mixed bag about the multiplayer on this, i'm hoping it's good because i definitely fancy giving it a go

I'm not sure why they've done this film, it makes no sense. Surely a live action version of the Pokemon story would have been the way to go?

Sorry i've just read it back and that's not what i meant at all, i meant others who are more clearly racist, sexist etc should be sacked. I agree that his sacking could be seen as harsh but like you say anyone who has a voice in this world should pay more attention to what they are posting./saying. When Kayne said slavery sounded like a choice, that was one of the most offense things i've ever heard and i didn't think i got offended by things. I definitely don't want the world to be more PC, hell i laugh at almost anything. I just think with the racist talk that's been going around about Meghan, you have to think about what you post. Unfortunately the line is pretty blurred with things you can post/say now because there always someone who will be offended. An issue that you could run into is people posting things that could be taken as both ways then saying oh that's not what i meant by it, when that was exactly what they meant (i'm not for one second saying he's racist) Another issue is that common sense is no longer common, i don't think someone should be punished for not having common sense but they have to at least try. The more i type the more i go round in circles, can't people just not be racist then someone would be able to post a picture like this and it not be taken offensively. He's been undone by the fact that people are racist and people get offended by things......also it's the Royal Family. Part of me feels for him and another part thinks, you're an idiot.

I only had a 250 ssd, was having issues getting my hdd to work but got it sorted.

We had a lovely conversation.... i mean, who?

I've sorted out my extra hard drive in my PC so can start installing more games, will set this off when i get home later.

It's the right reaction but they do need to do the same for anyone else who makes the same mistake. Even if he's not racist he has to look at what he's posting and realise that people could take it the wrong way. There's enough racist shit in the world without people posting stuff that could be taken as being racist without meaning it, it'll only draw the racist idiots out the woodwork.

I just need your card number, sort code and the 3 digit number on the back 😎

@phil bottle That was meant to say, what are you doing for the final?

Haven't had a chance to watch the highlights yet, going to save it till i get home and can crank up the volume. Congrats to Spurs, hope you win the whole thing! What you doing for the game @phil bottle ?

It's about time someone stood up to all this shite but it's not just minors, adults also become pray to this disease that's in the industry at the moment. They should ban all this shite and hopefully game developers can focus on making a good story/game/content and not forcing the player to fork out more money than they should. There's no way that someone should pay £50 for a game, then have a chance to pay for more stuff on top of that, unless it's a worth while DLC, new maps etc. I also don't think that DLC should contribute towards a story or force you to buy it if you want to continue playing. It's like giving a junkie a free fix, then charging for the next lot.....kind of. Also loot boxes are a type of gambling, just because you don't win money doesn't make it so.

Take my money

Was meant to write something myself but got dragged away to a meeting. Seems like people are still dicks, fair play to them for walking out and taking a stand. There's too many big dicks in this world who think they can get away with anything and everything and too many people who are higher than them that will protect them.

Over 150 discontented Riot Games employees walked out of the League of Legends publisher’s offices in Los Angeles today to protest the company’s stance on forced arbitration. Standing in a parking lot on Riot’s campus, employees held picket signs and gave impassioned speeches. “We’re asking that forced arbitration be ended for all past, current, and future Riot employees, including contractors and in current litigation,” said Jocelyn Monahan, a social listening strategist at Riot, in an interview with Kotaku. Standing in front of a sign reading “Rioters Unplugged,” a play on Riot’s internal “Riot Unplugged” meetings, Monahan would later tell her assembled colleagues through a megaphone, “asking to feel safe does not make you entitled.” Monahan had one major point she hoped to get across to her colleagues—even those who chose to stay in their desks and continue working. “We are what makes Riot great. I want us to feel solidarity and connection with each other. I want us to feel connected. I want us to feel like our voices are heard and heard in a way that matters.” Colleagues took turns speaking through the megaphone, with several admitting that they were scared to participate and be labeled “anti-Riot.” Said one, “I was worried. I was like, ‘What if I go and nobody shows up?’ I’m a little less worried about that now.” Others are showing their support with the #riotwalkout hashtag, which hundreds have been tweeting. Today’s protest appears to be the first labor-related walkout for a large game studio like Riot. The company’s management is allowing its employees to participate and has urged managers to be accommodating and understanding. In an email to Kotaku this morning, a Riot representative added, “We respect Rioters who choose to walkout today and will not tolerate retaliation of any kind as a result of participating (or not).” In the months since Kotaku’s investigation uncovering endemic sexism at Riot Games, five current or former employees sued the company, in part, for violating California’s Equal Pay Act. Last week, Riot filed a motion to force two of those current employees into arbitration, an extralegal forum where a suit does not go in front of a jury. Recently, 20,000 Google employees walked out to end forced arbitration; months later, Google announced it would comply, but only for harassment cases. Last week, Riot announced it would now allow incoming employees to opt out of forced arbitration for harassment suits and would consider extending that to current employees “as soon as current litigation is resolved.” Giving a speech, one current Riot employee announced she was quitting in two weeks. “I’m quitting because I don’t want to see people who were protected by people in high places in Riot,” the employee said. Two higher-up employees at Riot Games, including the COO, have been retained at the company (in the COO’s case, after a two-month unpaid leave) despite several complaints against them to HR and otherwise being accused of everything from gendered promotion strategies to ball-grabbing in Kotaku reports. Adding that she’s worried that she’ll “be labeled a red flag,” she continued, “I don’t even spend time with my husband who works here, because I worry that he’ll also be labeled.” Nearly half a dozen in attendance said that while they rarely talk in Slack or meetings, they felt compelled to publicly express concerns about Riot’s culture today. Signs at the protest read, “It shouldn’t take all this to do the right thing,” “Be the company you say you are,” and “Silence one of us, you silence us all.” In a Kotaku report earlier today, employees expressed several reasons they would participate. While several are attending specifically to show support for the two plaintiffs in suits against Riot, others were frustrated that eight months after Kotaku’s investigation, they have not seen concrete signs that Riot is dismantling its sexist culture. Said one, “So far I haven’t seen a single outcome of our diversity and inclusion efforts at Riot. I haven’t seen a single metric or number to indicate things have improved and I haven’t seen a single project get finished.” One other employee, who is male, explained, “While I fully believe Riot is doing everything they can in the moment to end future arbitration, I see value in presenting a nonviolent, unified voice. As someone with a voice, I am lending it to others who feel like they might not have one or be unheard.” Updated: 5/6/2019, 8:58 p.m. ET: Toward the end of the walkout, Monahan made an announcement saying that if Riot management doesn’t make any sort of commitment on forced arbitration by May 16—the date of the next Riot Unplugged meeting—she and others involved with the walkout will take further action. Another walkout organizer, Riot writer Indu Reddy, was not able to delve into specifics of what that will mean, but she told Kotaku that “we do have plans, and we do have days that we’re planning, and we do have commitments that we have responses for.” Reddy also said that despite Riot’s statement, retaliation is an ongoing concern. “We might face unforeseen consequences despite leadership’s own commitments, because leadership is one entity, and there are a lot of Rioters throughout the org,” she said. “We will prepare for retaliation. I think it wouldn’t be smart to not plan for it. But we’re not assuming it either because leadership said they wouldn’t retaliate—for this one, anyway. We will continue to ask for confirmation for future demonstrations.” The mood at the walkout, however, was generally positive. Robin, a Los Angeles chapter organizer for advocacy group Game Workers Unite, expressed hope that today’s walkout will inspire game developers at other companies, too. “The fact that this action went so well—there were people on the mic, everyone was so excited, there were so many people sharing their stories—I think that’s gonna inspire a lot of other people at companies to realize they have a lot of power over the conditions at their workplaces,” Robin told Kotaku. “This is going to be a tremendous example for people to know that they can make their conditions better.” [Update—9:30 am ET]: An earlier version of this story noted that employees had made allegations against Riot’s CFO. The allegations were actually against Riot’s COO. https://kotaku.com/over-150-riot-employees-walk-out-to-protest-forced-arbi-1834566198
