I’ve finally completed my unpacking of all my bits and pieces after a year living at the same address, books are now all shelved. Whilst my mother and sister are the true Pratchett fans in the family (their knowledge is in the annoyingly encyclopaedic category), I’m just looking at the books in...

Saw him watching the England match today and a thought occurred to me. Why does he always look like he’s done a really horrific silent fart and he’s just waiting for others to notice?

At exactly one minute past midnight, Prime Day begins! Thought it might be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for it so we can all help each other out. So if you find a bargain that you think others might be interested in, spread the word by posting a link here 🙂 To make it easy to find...

I love playing bass. It gives you the opportunity to just go with the root note if you’re feeling lazy, play melodically like McCartney if you want to complement the soundscape, supplement a driving rhythm a la Bootsy Collins or treat it as a lead instrument like Geddy Lee. What are your...

Thought it might be handy for us to have a thread where people can share their favourite announcements from this year’s E3. Having been at work and also engrossed in the football I’ve not really been in the loop. I’m relying on those in the know to educate me! 👍

Rather than adding the license, it would generally be suggested to do a full clean install of Windows. Install and then force updates over and over until no more are available. That way you’ll know you’re working from a clean slate. If you’re still having issues after that, please start a new...

Evening all, I just wanted to share a trick I’ve recently become acquainted with. Now that we’re in a sustained period of hot weather and lockdown is easing, you may find yourself in a position where you have unexpected guests at short notice wanting the pleasure of your company. But OH NO, you...

And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer company 😶 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-57431987

This could be interesting if it gets proper support. Let’s hope it doesn’t go the way of their ill-fated Steam Machine PCs https://metro.co.uk/2021/05/26/secret-valve-steampal-console-is-a-switch-style-portable-out-this-year-14649681/ Valve are such a strange company...

I’m about to embark on a bold yet frivolous social experiment, one which I know @jamiephillips909 is going to excel in... can we have an entire conversation completely in a certain format? Rules are simple, you reply to the preceding post and only in the form of a GIF or meme. It must be...

Mrs C and I have both had a tough week at work and cooking wasn’t on the cards for either of us. So we ordered a curry... and it was glorious. I’d have taken pictures but I was so excited about the meal that I just head butted my plate and started chewing. As my stomach gently purrs away in...

I am still occasionally forced to use it through work and it chips away at my soul every time I have to load it up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-57186266

So... I’ve had a bit of a gaming slump, which I’ve chronicled elsewhere on the forum. I spent seventy plus hours on Red Dead Redemption 2 and wasn’t seeing the endgame coming anywhere on the horizon, that state of affairs somehow really got to me in a way it’s never done before and I didn’t load...

I’m just going to interject here with my personal opinion. If the OP has a low budget and wants to build a bottom end system we should still do the best we can to accommodate their wishes. I ideally wouldn’t want to configure a £600 720p spec with an integrated GPU and would also generally...

Calling all troubleshooters, AgentCooper needs some added brain cells to help him out... Went to turn on my PC today and forgot to switch the monitor on before I did so. When I’ve done this in the past, the system powers on but no signal reaches the monitor, I have to press and hold the power...

This news might excite readers of a certain age... Flashback is getting a sequel almost THIRTY years later! (Technically, it's already had a sequel with Fade to Black on the PS1 back in 1995 but the developers seem to be glossing over that fact) I'm definitely intrigued, it's one my favourite...

Hardly surprising to see this, knowing what we do about their business practices. But it still makes me feel grubby just reading a story like this... https://metro.co.uk/2021/04/27/ea-fifa-leak-describes-grind-currency-and-pushing-players-to-fut-14478888/

The other day I stubbed my toe. Really badly. The kind of stub incident where you hop around for a minute, do some serious blaspheming and then use your other foot to stand on the affected digit in a misguided and fruitless attempt to crush the pain away. It put me in a very sulky mood so I had...

Oh, they’re real! I was one of the lucky ones...
