Unbeatable.

Just finished the new season of Rick and Morty and it did not disappoint! Got to be in my top 5!

I wish I hadn't clicked this thread ... I'm hungry now. Recently moved out and am in the process of finding a new local Chinese — a difficult decision indeed.

Undecided whether I want to start a new career mode or not on FIFA 23. I've always wanted to record one of my career modes on here as I enjoy playing them so much. But should I wait for EA FC to start one or do one anyway on FIFA 23?

I still refuse to download TikTok, even though I know full well everyone already has all of my data. I just can't be sat on my phone for hours addicted to mindless videos of Fat Imbeciles like Sam Smith — I've got Instagram for that already 😂

FG's Number 1!

I primarily use the ISO Hemlock with the Loose Ends Skin but the M4 is a close second. I used the M4 so much last MW I thought I should switch it up this year.

Definitely a feel good tune 🕺

Hi @ShyMatthew 👋 You've come to the right place! We play Modern Warfare all the time. Make sure you keep an eye out on the Events page to find out when we're online.

I've not unfortunately, too busy spraying and praying I hit something 😂 I mean — I've got quite a good monitor but lately I've found in a few games I'm dying and can't see where the person is — even after I've watched the kill cam! Although that could be due to anything, like camping and head glitching, not just the Skin. Definitely not as easy as Fortnite where everyone is a brightly coloured Ice Cream character or Spider Man 😂

White and gold suits Jude. Can't wait to see if Real Madrid sign Kane or Mbappé as well... What a monster team this could turn into!

Thank you Matt, I will try this — however do think this only works if you have one PS5 and one PS4. Although I hope I'm wrong it would be great 👍

Overheard @Stretch616 @GazzaGarratt and @Luseth playing last night, and I will admit I got massive FOMO! Might have to see if I can break the bank and get it soon... Although I do suspect I'd have to get two copies as the Misses would want to play as well.

Lowest recorded active players since the games release — so not only did we get our opponents to rage quit, but they stopped playing the game entirely 😬😂 Very bad behaviour @GazzaGarratt @Greboth @Luseth @Macca89 @techno @MrBiron @IRaMPaGe

I'm sure they'll get plenty Apple fanboys and 'Tech' promoters pushing it.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 79 seconds  

Blockchain: How does it work? Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows multiple participants to maintain a shared database without the need for a central authority. It operates through a network of computers, known as nodes, which work together to validate and record transactions. Here's a simplified explanation of how blockchain works: Structure: A blockchain consists of a chain of blocks, where each block contains a set of transactions. Each block is linked to the previous block through a cryptographic hash, forming a chronological chain of blocks. Transactions: When a participant initiates a transaction, it is grouped with other pending transactions and added to a "block." Transactions can represent various types of data, not just financial transfers. Each transaction typically includes information such as the sender, recipient, amount, and any additional data relevant to the transaction. Validation: The block of transactions undergoes a process called "consensus" to ensure its validity. Depending on the specific blockchain protocol, this process may involve different consensus mechanisms such as proof of work (PoW), proof of stake (PoS), or others. The consensus mechanism helps prevent fraud and ensures that all nodes agree on the state of the blockchain. Block Formation: Once a block is validated, it is added to the existing chain, becoming a permanent part of the blockchain. The new block contains a unique identifier called a hash, which is calculated based on the data in the block. The hash of each block also includes the hash of the previous block, creating a link between them. Decentralization: Blockchain operates in a decentralized manner, meaning the blockchain data and its maintenance are distributed across multiple nodes in the network. Each participating node has a copy of the entire blockchain, allowing for transparency, resilience, and fault tolerance. Changes or additions to the blockchain must be agreed upon by a majority of the nodes in the network. Security: Blockchain uses cryptographic algorithms to ensure the security and integrity of the data. The blocks are linked through cryptographic hashes, making it difficult for anyone to modify the contents of a block without being detected. Additionally, blockchain networks often use encryption and digital signatures to authenticate and secure transactions. Consensus and Trust: By employing consensus mechanisms, blockchain eliminates the need for a central authority or intermediary to validate transactions. The distributed nature of the network, combined with consensus protocols, creates a level of trust among participants, as any attempts to tamper with the blockchain would require a majority of the network's computing power. Transparency and Immutability: Once a block is added to the blockchain, it is difficult to alter or remove it. The transparent nature of the blockchain allows all participants to view and verify transactions, fostering trust and accountability. This transparency makes blockchain attractive for applications where trust and auditability are important. Smart Contracts (optional): Some blockchain platforms support smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with predefined rules and conditions. Smart contracts automatically execute actions once the specified conditions are met. They can facilitate more complex interactions and automate processes on the blockchain. Overall, blockchain technology provides a decentralized and secure way to record and verify transactions, enabling trust, transparency, and new possibilities for various industries beyond cryptocurrencies, such as supply chain management, healthcare, finance, and more.

NFTs: How do they work? NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are a type of digital asset that represent ownership or proof of authenticity of a unique item or piece of content. Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are fungible (interchangeable), NFTs are designed to be unique and indivisible. Here's a simplified explanation of how NFTs work: Unique Digital Assets: NFTs can represent various types of digital assets, including artwork, music, videos, virtual real estate, collectibles, and more. Each NFT is distinct and carries a unique identifier that distinguishes it from other tokens. Blockchain-based Ownership: NFTs are typically built on blockchain platforms like Ethereum, though other blockchains can also support them. The blockchain acts as a decentralized ledger that verifies and records ownership and transaction history. It provides a transparent and tamper-proof system for tracking the authenticity and ownership of NFTs. Metadata and Token Standards: NFTs contain metadata, which includes information about the asset they represent, such as the title, description, creator, and other relevant details. NFTs adhere to specific token standards, such as ERC-721 or ERC-1155 (Ethereum), which define the functionalities and behaviors of the tokens. Minting: The process of creating an NFT is called minting. Artists, creators, or content owners can mint NFTs by uploading their digital assets to a compatible NFT marketplace or platform. During the minting process, the creator can also set parameters like the number of copies (if it's a limited edition) and any associated royalties. Ownership and Transactions: Once an NFT is minted, it can be bought, sold, or traded on NFT marketplaces. These marketplaces act as platforms where NFTs are listed for sale or auctioned. Ownership of an NFT is recorded on the blockchain, allowing anyone to verify the current owner and the entire transaction history of that particular NFT. Smart Contracts: NFTs often utilize smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements that automatically perform certain actions when predefined conditions are met. Smart contracts enable various functionalities for NFTs, such as royalty payments to the original creator whenever the NFT is resold in the future. Interoperability: While most NFTs are currently based on Ethereum, there is growing interoperability between different blockchain platforms. For example, some NFTs can be moved or "bridged" from one blockchain to another, allowing for more flexibility and accessibility. Scarcity and Value: The uniqueness and scarcity of NFTs contribute to their perceived value. Collectors and enthusiasts are willing to purchase NFTs for various reasons, including ownership rights, supporting artists, or the potential for future appreciation. It's important to note that NFTs have gained significant popularity in the art and digital content space, but they have also raised concerns regarding environmental impact (due to the energy consumption of blockchain networks) and potential copyright infringement. As the technology and ecosystem evolve, NFTs are likely to undergo further developments and refinements.
