Happy birthday Rob @The3rdWalker ! Hope you have a great day buddy 👍🍺😎

I've stumbled across this podcast because of some ex-players making a few and they've started to make a little noise on Twitter. They are a really good listen whilst you're doing other stuff. Some footballers talking very openly and honestly on how things went for them. Its done really well as its just like they're in the pub, sharing funny stories with their best mates. A couple of ex-pros present it. One (Chris Brown) played 42 games for us (Blackburn) and scored no goals. As a striker. But they're great how they talk about stuff. Anyone that loves football should give some a watch. Ben Marshall below should've been in the Premiership, even now. Hes only 29 still but hes quit professional football. A real insight to how it can be for many footballers. Its not the dream that we all think sometimes. This Mark Crossley one is great too as it has some fantastic stories about Brian Clough.

Well I hope they've had some form of immunity when saying their peace. Clearly anyone that was in charge of the release would've took any of the other options we've all spoken about rather than to just release it in the wild to all platforms like they did. After all of this though, I think we could easily come back here in a year's time and be praising them for putting stuff right. Similar to how @Greboth mentioned how No Mans Sky sorted their shit out. Although that took a few years to do and also that time was needed for everyone to forget the main man Sean Murray flat out lied to everybody about MP and other things such like.

This one by a mile @slamminbones . When you're on too if you save up some cash, the other guys can help let you know which ones to buy and get hold of. I actually think tonight could be a good one considering there's a number of new people turning up. Definitely great to see more people get involved in other FG game nights.

No one likes to see Leeds lose like that do they? 😎 Tbh, I can't deny they do play fantastically well in terms of just giving it a go regardless of the opposition which I respect a lot. Its funny how fickle fans and journalism can be. Ole's clearly not the one to take you forward if you end up 2 points off top. Then again, Mourinho won you trophies and they still weren't happy with that....

I'm not normally around on a Monday night @Baabcat because i'm on Monday Night Football FIFA 😞 but if you're about later in the week and we have time around festive preparation i'd love to get in another raid 👍

What a game! £3.49 is a bargain tbh! I have it on PS4 and its one of those simulator games I would put in my top 3 of that genre its that good. The fact you can create new types of Dinosaurs is awesome too.

@jordie1892 felt we all needed inspiraration for the upcoming Winter games for FGFC. Take it in, from good ol' Razor Ruddock! GGFG lads! @jordie1892 @LordBaguette @G_dub52 @Lurch @ChaosGladiator @Dan94 @TonyAE86 @Findmartin @Glen11 @Macca89 I must say FIFA FG Games have been fantastic the last few months - we should share more of this around the place!

And now I realise why this was trending earlier 🤣

🤣🤣 I'd have probably felt the sweat again if George took another 3! 😅 But in all seriousness, if anyone is actually curious to how these work, this is genuinely what could happen as I wanted it to feel like you could all ask for as many as you like - the alternative was put up just one raffle and you have the chance to win 1 prize out of 20 which could mean you get something you probably didn't want in the first place and you'd only have one chance to get stuff. I like the idea you all have a chance every day (although in an ideal world I would've loved it if every person won at least one thing but that's the double-edged sword of a system generated answer!) I thought i'd just grab the answers from the Developer who created the 'Raffles' application system i've installed for this so you get the answer from the horses mouth on how it works: Answer from Developer: Programmer Code Below: foreach( \IPS\Db::i()->select( '*', 'raffles_participants', array( 'rp_raffle_id=?', $raffle->id ), 'rand()', array( 0, count( $raffle->getParticipants() ) ) ) as $row ) { $winners[] = $row['rp_member_id']; $uniqWinners[ $row['rp_member_id'] ] = $row['rp_member_id']; } I think in the future we could do some live ones through different means, but if we're lucky enough to do stuff like this continually, then this works perfectly from my POV because I can set it up, it nicely fits in with the User Interface of the whole website and it takes care of itself. I can log in whenever I want to the same page you guys see and check out the winner later. Like always, in the future if anyone ever wants to start getting involved more on these bits specifically, just let me know. It will also always depend on Donations too which is currently made up of what I put in to this place plus current other donations minus the proportion we need to keep the lights on around here and anything else e.g. private servers. The more we have in, the more Raffles/Giveaways and Feel Good Fund presents we can do throughout the year. This application can set up Raffles where we can technically allow purchase of tickets for stuff but that wasn't what I wanted it for in the first place.

Well done to @Dan94 who won the prestigious Personalised FG Hoodie from 17th December! On a personal note it's pretty cool to see so many people interested in this type of stuff so watch this space! Enjoy buddy! 👍😎

Nice share @Riff Machine , totally agree @J4MES OX4D but it felt like they had to make a move eventually with such a high profile game otherwise they were getting the grief over a game that isn't one of their own. Be good to know whos asking for refunds here or whether you'll swerve it and carry on playing?

Well done to Harold @Spacedeck who wins a voucher of his choice from December 16th! Enjoy buddy! 😎

@AceBoogie239 @phil bottle Sometimes Reddit links embed the full post - and in black - which is frustrating to say the least. I've clicked to just paste the link as Travis wanted but also grabbed the juicy bit of text, made sure pics and videos embedded correctly from the thread and pasted below 🙂: Hey CD Projekt Red, I think you shipped the wrong config on PC. Here's a guide that shows you how to "unlock" Cyberpunk for possibly massive performance improvements. Guide 💡 Since I am a C# developer and very comfortable around configuration files, I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a look at the configuration files. And found something that I didn't believe. Please take a look at the above picture. This picture shows the configuration columns for each platform. PC, Durango, Orbis. (Durango & Orbis is what XBox & PlayStation run on). Now take a look at PoolCPU and PoolGPU. These values are the same as the other platforms. This looks off. So I decided to give it a try and just screw around with this config. So based off my rig I assigned some values that made a little more sense to me. I assigned 16GB (of RAM I guess) to my CPU and 11GB of my GPU's VRAM. And howdy cowboy, my i7 finally woke the fuck up and started kicking in second gear, now working at 85 - 95% CPU usage. My 1080Ti also now uses 230 Watts on avg instead of a sad 100W. Booted the game and et voila, I am now rocking a solid 60+ fps on: High Settings No Film Grain, No Ambient Occlusion, Lens Flare etc. 80 Fov 1440p My loading times have gone down from 20 seconds to 2. I can't put the emotion in words how I felt when I discovered this. It was something between disbelief, immense joy and confusion. I can confirm GOG patch 1.04 and Steam patch 1.04 have this borked configuration file. If you need guidance on what to assign in your config: PoolCPU: Use half of what your RAM is, make sure to leave 4GB for windows tho. PoolGPU: Google your graphics card on google and see how much VRAM it has. For example my EVGA 1080Ti has 11 GB GDDR5X, so I am entering 11GB. A fair bit of warning 💀 These changes can possibly crash your CyberPunk and Windows. I do not take any responsibility for any problems resulting from this. CyberPunk will complain that it crashed, even when you close it. This shouldn't matter too much though. Mileage may vary. I can't guarantee this will massively improve your performance, I can only say mine did a huge leap and the response from my friends has been very positive. If anybody is more familiar with the configuration I am touching, please let me know and I will adjust it. I am merely showing this around because it looks like a promising starting point for many who have weird performance issues. If this helped you, please let us know with a short comment how much your FPS and joystick ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) went up. Update: What we've learned.

Well done to Elliott @Middle Class Caveman who wins Wreckfest from 15th December!! No excuse to miss out on these FG Fridays now! 😎 Enjoy bud!

Really good summary @AceBoogie239 . It was pretty obvious the hype over the past few years was somewhat going to hurt the game, I just didn't expect them to really hurt the launch this much after delaying the game 3,4,5 times - and as you say, it probably should've been delayed even further. @J4MES OX4D , I think it was only a matter of timebefore Angry Joe got on the wagon for this one. Easy touchdown for him. I'm looking forward to seeing the Cyberpunk world but I'll be managing my expectations after what most of you have said about how the game handles itself.

Whilst I lol'd at a response on Twitter to the apology that said 'Imagine if this was Bungie' which is another story entirely, I think there is a way to muddle through the crap that has followed this ambitiously well-hyped game. Concept = Great World Setting = The best possibly ever Ultra PC version = Great albeit fiddly with settings PS4/Xbox One version = Shambles and not acceptable Crunch Mentality = Not great although thats culture all over the world imo not just a gaming one It seems a game that without last gen promises and recent bad leaks about their culture, this game would be up at 95ish on metacritic. Whilst they felt they had to release eventually because of previous promises, they still could've saved face by saying last gen would have to release at a later date, or, never at all. The more I talk to you all it was never going to be a new defining genre in gaming, the hype was brought along by their last game, Witcher 3 and rightly so. The phrase 'You only as good as your last result' starts to spring to mind. I'd like to think this will still be a super game to runthrough even if its just another open world game because the setting, scenary and story is well worth it. Maybe we need to start to look at gaming in a different way moving forward if this has took 7 years in the making. Early access games and more of an acceptance of bugs could manage expectations of how gamers react. I'm not saying thats a good or bad thing, btw.

Well done to Cal @TheMuggySpud who wins the Johnny Silverhand statue for December 14th! Well done mate! Enjoy 😎
