    Your favorite toy

    I think many of those games affected my thinking and Mousetrap with all it's sequential mechanisms was one, plus as you say fun to watch. I did have a scalectric track but it seemed a bit boring until I got an E Type Jag with fat rear slicks, on the inside track it would slide and knock the...

    Just bought 5070 Ti / 9800x3d, wondering what now before the thing actually gets to me

    ^Sounds like you got a great deal. Especially with the Asus GPU and the MSI MB and AIO cooling for CPU. Any problems get rid of that PSU. I paid way more but mostly Asus build.

    I suppose if you got it cheaper then you could always swap out any suspect parts. PSU?

    I just had the same system built. I don't think you'll have any problems with that CPU it seems to run at about 20% even in AAA games at 1440. What sort of cooling does it have. Which version on the GPU did you get? You could check online for any particular issues with that brand. You could use...

    Best method of transferring your old rig to a new one?

    I can't see any problem with using the two external hard drives. You shouldn't have any problems with programs. If you are using Steam then use the cloud option to transfer you game saves and access the games on your hard drives via Steam. Passwords and log ins shouldn't be a problem as it's...

    It's become a sort of pattern. On friday nights I need the energy of live DJ's. Still working my way through Boiler room sets and many more. But to get the night started I believe in Garsi> View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVWC-dx80vg&list=PLRq8AJpCYoYt9r-A3ObnhNO9kIWjiZCDl&index=11

    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    Ghost of Tsushima. It's a good format, broken samurai slowly fights back.

    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    This what I call a good winter game. When it's cold outside I'll be in medieval Japan. This is another game like RD2 where every scene is an artwork. Now just got to rid Japan of the Mongol army!

    Steam Autumn Sale Discussion Thread

    I picked up Ghost of Tsushima in the sale. I do enjoy games that take you into a whole new world like RD2. Plus learn a little history. I really need to improve my sword control for this game as well so at present I'm watching Japanese experts recreate moves from the game (it's a mad world)...

    YT channels and random interests.

    (I watched about half of video). I think that many people have a bias when it comes to AI. When I was reviewing modern sci fi films, AI featured as a source of apprehension and fear, but also the opposite, as a source of benefit for humans in general and on an individual level. With ageing...

    Yes Clive James was a rare intellectual wit. I've readsome of his books and even found some of his Postcard series where he gives his unique opinon of place like Rio and Rome, on this channel. https://www.youtube.com/@continualbrew/videos

    This is from a channel, 'You can't unhear this' which specifically breaks down the recording and influences of Beatles songs. GEEK out! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDZzhLY_BVo&ab_channel=YouCan%27tUnhearThis
