So I am sat here this morning looking at a computer screen and if I'm being honest I can't really be arsed 😄 So I thought I would ask what people do for work and what are your day to day tasks like? For me I design relatively simple mechanical building services for residential complexes, literally right now I am producing a schematic for the water supply around the building, working out sizes of pipes and the routes they will be taking, little snippet below - Generally my work day can be quite varied, some days design team meetings, others doing drawings like the above, others it's meeting suppliers or sub-contractors and coming up at the end of this month is the first 3d project we are doing internally (which as the others in the design team have no experience of Revit I will likely be leading). So yeah what do you get up to in your work day?

I don't really have many fears but the one thing that does scare me both for myself and my children is the way the planet's going. It has been reported that this year we are going to be 1.4 degrees C warmer than pre-industrial years, admittedly part of it is this El Nino event but it can't be all that. The weather forecasts are for between 24 and 27 degrees this coming weekend / next week in the UK, in October.... As someone who grows veg I don't see how that's not going to affect things, seeds that are typically dormant are going to start sprouting for example. Does it concern any of you? Are you choosing to ignore it / live in ignorance to the changes? The reality now is it is affecting today and not really a problem for tomorrow which for the past 10-20 years it was always considered to be. I know it's easy to say well there's nothing I can do about it but has anyone considered moving home because of the impact it might have on where you currently live or trying to make your household more self sustainable i.e. less reliant upon society?

So I've begun listening to a band that I listened to in my teenage years again ^_^ No one I knew my age at the time really listened to them but they were one of my guilty pleasures, I imagine Greboth might know who they are -

I did watch this yesterday, not overly interested in many of them, the one that did jump out at me though was Greedfall 2. I played the first one, I think something happened to my save so I did not complete it but I liked the setting and the story was quite good, graphically fine, I think the only thing that let it down was the combat was a little clunky but for a non triple A title it was quite ambitious and had some great ideas. I suspect I will pick the second game up when it turns up.
-
Ooooo, I will watch this once this meeting is over and let you know my thoughts, I seem to be having fun with games that are just below that Triple A budgets at the moment, I am playing through Elex 2 and really enjoying it ^_^
-
Provided kids go to sleep ok this evening I should be on at some point 🙂 Any tips while we are racing would be greatly appreciated ^_^ I have only just scraped by on the bronzes on the licenses 😄

I feel like you don't get video games sometimes, it's always about the way you look, what colour guns you have, how crazy your hair style is etc. Forget playing the game and chatting to friends.
-
I think a lot of it was timing, it came out and the game is half decent and enjoyable but since then the likes of Starfield and Baldurs gate have been released. To keep the player count high while competing with arguably 2 of the biggest releases of the year is a tough ask.

I did suggest an xbox series S to him last night but he didn't sound keen. It would allow him to still jump on for fifa with us (I tried it with another friend the other day that was on xbox and it worked pretty well) and you can pick them up as cheap as £150 these days second hand 🙂

Yeah I am a fan of collecting my retro games and such but I'd be fine if we stopped producing them now, we have learnt enough in recent years to call it a day on physical games. That said I think my only gripe with going all digital is the lack of storefronts for a console and it would probably lead me to just gaming on pc only going forwards as at least there are some options. Sony having such a big market share already and then being able to put on whatever percentage they like on top does not sit well with me and is something I could see happening down the road because they have shown time and time again that it is a company that can get complacent, can get a little bit greedy.

Tuesday's don't work so much for me usually, this Saturday is a no go as well as I am at a friend's wedding. I will message you once I know when I am about the week after 🙂

I will download it this evening, Wednesday evening, Friday and Sunday are probably going to be my best options 🙂

This is crossplay isn't it? I have game pass at the moment so could give it a go with you guy's at some point ^_^
-
My better half has put some money towards getting fifa ultimate for me as I had been feeling a bit crappy about work so I can play whichever this time around 🙂 I am also trying to drum up interest on the place I used to play with for Thursday nights, if I can get that going again then I feel like there could be a friendly or 2 on the cards in the future when we are playing the latest gen game. @Findmartin we can't leave you behind just yet 🙂 You do need to get yourself a ps5 though, more because you enjoy our company of course 😉

This game's blowing hot and cold for me, it does not feel very story driven, it feels more like a big open world esque game with lots of little stories, however because of my low level it feels somewhat disjointed because I can't complete a storyline or a faction line all in one go. The gameplay is fine and I am enjoying exploring the worlds etc. I have not even touched the outposts yet. I think because I am after something a bit more story driven my interest is waning a little bit in this at the moment, I jump on for an hour here and there but I am not sinking myself into it like I do with some RPG's.

I was leaning towards the PS4 version as I was expecting another year with you guys on the PS4 version, now you are expecting me to find another £40 or whatever it is! 😄

This isn't going to be modernised, it's being remastered so everythings going to be the same just look a little less pixelated I reckon. I feel like PS1 era games are where some studios are going to come unstuck with all these remasters, the original 3d graphics are very blocky and not particularly pleasant to look at in most instances and this is definately going to be one of those games that really falls down. You can get away with remastering 2d titles and anything from the 360 / PS3 era but I don't see it working with most PS1 titles. I wonder if this is one of those projects that Square started as it seems like their sort of thing to do at the moment and Crystal Dynamics have decided to complete the project, it really does smack of a cash grab though.

I mean they could be taking feedback from said Beta and improving the game?

So I have played a few hours on the Series S now and about 2 on the ROG, first impressions are really good, it does feel quite fallout esque to me just without the VATS, I think I have dived right into sidequests, the main story I had not interest in almost immediately lol but the side content seem's quite good and fun. The fact it's not open does not bother me, it feels a bit Mass effect in that regard but it never bothered me then and won't bother me now. I love the setting, I'm just in the first city you come to at the moment but still see me being there for hours yet as I seem to have about 10-12 side quests already and I'm quite happy pottering about and exploring Atlantis. The xbox is handling it pretty well so far as I can see and the lack of the extra power from the Series X does not bother me. The combat's pretty fluid for a Bethesda game, it's certainly more refined and improved over previous titles. The ROG also handles it pretty well, I had a couple of slowdowns but I think it was updating in the background, on the whole though it handles the game well. I think the only thing I have not liked so far is the film grain, it seems a bit over the top and I have ended up turning it off completely.

I will be playing this some point this evening, I am working atm and actually have a busier day than normal so making the most of it 😄 I am out for a meeting this afternoon but when I get back I will jump on it. I have it installed on what some on here consider sub-standard devices in the Series S and the Asus ROG Ally and can't wait to dive in ^_^

I feel like this site is a genuine testing ground for a future version of chatgpt.

Ah it's doing well to have lasted then 🙂 It's easy for little communites like this for people to drift away so though they won't blow their own trumpets it does take the efforts of individuals to keep somewhere like this going, I'm sure Lee will say it's all down to the community but it never is 😄 In my short spell here I can tell @GazzaGarratt is certainly a driving force of it so fair play to him 🙂 And @Diddums for all the work he must have put in all those years ago ^_^ And ofc you as well @phil bottle 🙂

For me, I had PS Premium, it felt like a nice treat at christmas to keep it going (I was given it when they were merged), I can tell you for certain the heighest tier is absolutely crap and a waste of money. PS Extra I have actually used, there has been enough content to enjoy and I have tried out some new games, that said I also dip into Xgame pass every now and again that offers the same (albeit slightly better) so I will likely carry on dipping in and reduce my PS sub to the minimum. I think the only thing really tying me into these subscriptions these days are the social aspect, it's quite an outlay now and I don't see the benefit in that there is no reason to be paying for online play in my eyes when it is done on the PC for nothing and though the odd PS Plus game turns out to be good they aren't necassarily games I am askin for, I can't see why they couldn't do a basic subscription and do away with the games each month. It's just easy money for Sony / Microsoft and for some reason everyone just accepts it as is. With COD and even Fifa going down the route of crossplay which is where I get my social fixes I am definately getting fonder of my pc gaming again.

I enjoyed it when it first came out, visually it looks great for an MMO and it's a little more accessible to new players I think, I'd be happy to jump back in on it tbf. Saints Row and Generation Zero are both multiplayer as well I believe so would be happy to give both of them a go with people too at some point ^_^
-
So the PS Plus yearly subscriptions are increasing and there has been some grumbling from the gaming community, I am not entirely sure why they are even a thing to be honest at least for the base tiers. In the current climate and with people looking to cut back on costs have you considered moving from one console to the other due to the sub prices (I think Xbox will now have the cheaper base subscription), has anyone just cancelled their subs and stuck to PC gaming for example? Is anyone here bothered by it all? ^_^ The prices going up are hardly surprising but considering the number of people on PS I am fairly sure that it will look good when they report their profits for the next few years.
