Christian we are trying to wean him off some bad habits we let slide a bit for lockdown/summer hols…stopping stuff completely would cause world war 3 so just trying to do it stealthily…

Same here.

First week back at school went really well.

Then a week off for tonsillitis last week and its back to square one.

Serves us right for thinking we’d cracked it!!

We are slowly learning never to assume anything is cracked. Ever.
Just hoping he’ll earn enough to pay for some decent therapy

C_J haha. I have to ease up being on the green otherwise my swing line and downswing timing gets all messed up.

Had some good times playing the Tiger game in college as well, pretty much why I was excited about this one. Cant remember the gameplay but I remember chipping was easy, with PGATour 2k21 you really have to keep playing consistently to get a hang of it. Definitely not easy to hack it.

there is no impact to the swing from pulling back as slowly as possible which makes it a lot easier not to shoot past the hole.

Might get involved with Hyrule Warriors.

RDR2 is two years old today. Gets over fast dunnit?

LT42 Pulled the trigger after reading about it. Been downloading the bastard all day, massive.

Hope they introduce online ATC. This clip of online X Plane ATC is superb 😅

LT42

mono-stereo check out ‘PilotEdge’, real world ATC so you have to know the lingo. Think it only works on flights in the US though

LT42 How you getting on with it LT?

I crashed a 747 into the sandwich shop across the road from me last night. Great fun.

LT42

mono-stereo LOL. I haven’t got it yet, mate. Waiting for the New Year and the new PC to arrive. Gonna grab a 3080 GPU so waiting on funds and stock and I’m away.

LT42 Nice, that card is a unit, although I’m a bit wary of its power draw.

It seems that the bottleneck for most is single-threaded CPU performance, I ended up overclocking mine. I never usually fuck about with overclocking, but it’s made a big difference to my frame rate.

AMD cards announced yesterday seem to be able to go toe to toe with nvidia 3080s at a much lower cost. Probably not blighted by supply issues either as they get a higher yield from their production processes.

Wally Interesting. Always good to have some competition, AMD really upped their game.

LT42

Wally Good to know, Wal. It’ll be March or thereabouts before I take the plunge so plenty of time for research and for stocks to be replenished.

Just finished TLOU2. Fuck me, some game that. The cut scenes and the conversational gameplay towards the end were starting to do my fucking nut in and I was a fan of those elements up til that point.

COD tomorrow guys…

Phil-McRackin

Well it is Friday.

Has anyone on here tried to pick up a new machine on release? I’m hearing there’s absolute murder in the States with availability, scalpers hoovering up stock and selling for 2000+ on Ebay. Can’t help thinking these launches and stock could be better managed.

Along_the_Wire

LT42 It’s a clever marketing ploy. Been in play for decades.
