Shorty

Yeah we were just talking about how it was all your fault.

@Agent Gibbs? I could do tomorrow if we can't get a sixth today.

We couldn't find a sixth player for alt raid, but the main raid went smoothly. Weirdly we struggled a few times on the Siege Engine....

Yep count me in

Just one thing to consider to counter your point (because I am very much for the merge), they would merge in date order, there'd only be about 3 tech threads on the front page of gen right now (which I think is actually very unusual and only because one person bumped all three a few days ago) and literally one game. The whole point of having a topic specific board like "tech" is because you have so many threads on a subject they need their own place. When you're talking about 2 or 3 threads... there are other topics more popular than that, such as TV shows or movies. At this point what makes a tech thread any more intrusive than any other?

No more feedback on this?

That rings zero bells. No this is the opposite of the problem. We all need to be socially inept shut-ins like when we were teenagers.

Yeah definitely. I see people post things on Fb and it makes me sad that they didn't post it in the related thread on here, that's been happening for years. Nicer mobile friendly forum software with a social login might be able to help with that. People leave forums all the time and always have, the problem is the lack of balance - there's no newbies. I think this board is probably a bit intimidating to young newbs.

I've said a lot behind the scenes that I think it's the general age of users that's caused an issue. When I started gen chit chat was full of a lot of childish but fun threads like "rate the last person's signature" or "hot people thread", as well as games etc.. Now I think we've gotten older as a population, we're out at jobs, we're less interested in silly threads. And the young people, they're more attracted to twitch chat and snapchat and youtube etc. Things that they can log into using an app and post instantly to without selecting a topic first. Actual question I was thinking of asking anyway, and has basically been given the nod by staff: What would people think if we merged creative, tech and forum games all back in here? I think they're all pretty quiet and the big threads would stay afloat.

Your solicitors, they will chase their solicitors, who will chase them.

Are you waiting or calling and nagging? They will leave you at the bottom of the pile if you don't get in touch.

Is anyone watching it? The finale of season 4 was really disliked, even by fans, I never even got round to watching it even though I enjoyed the show a lot for a fairly long time. I really felt it went downhill with too much focus on the extended team, and Felicity becoming really unreasonable. It doesn't seem that infeasible to expect that the writers will have made some improvements after the negative feedback. Remember to use spoiler tags!

I don't think Choze is complaining, just thinking it's been announced wrong. Edit: What bob said.

It might be common but it's outdated.... You shouldn't stick with old tech because there's more of it! New Androids use USB C, and future devices should to. It transmits data faster, charges faster, is just as cheap and is still a standardised input.

I'm going as Picard, embracing the bald! @Dan_Dare is going as Riker and another of our mates as Data :p

I think they're wired to reduce latency. They look ugly af to me though, just your typical 3rd party madcatz crap your mate made you use.

I imagine they've done the best they can. It's not like they have people sitting around thinking "how slowly can we release information?" More likely, they really didn't feel ready to talk about the Switch at all yet but were pressured into it by the constant feed of "just announce it already!" The older I get the more aware I am of how business and industry works, and how many steps (licensing, red tape, approvals) there are to go through before you can talk about your product. Then people constantly complain as if the company has made the literal choice to do things in a way that doesn't appeal to the public, just because they're incompetent or something.

If the Switch was just a dock that connected it to the TV it could've been a 5mm tall piece of plastic with HDMI and AC in.... Must be more to it than that.

I wasn't feeling that ep at all personally, would rather they just covered post-war stuff instead of retconning N/H's meeting again. On the other hand, it didn't really feel like an ep of Naruto at all and the artwork was like nothing they've ever put out before - which was really interesting. Watched the Boruto movie at the weekend though, I liked that a lot!

You can turn it on using the controller or only using the button on the system? Maybe your charge cable is no good.

Ah man once upon a time I had something really good to show off for my setup, with all my retro consoles spaced out on shelves. Now they're boxed up in the garage... My PS4 sits under my TV in a very unexciting manner and my PC desk is far too untidy to share.

Exciting times Jim! Gotta keep moving forwards, not backwards. Upwards, not forwards. And always twirling... twirling... twirling towards freedom!

So you don't think there's anything hardwired into males to lean towards action figures, and females to lean towards dolls? If you just made a store where all the walls were white and all the toys were mixed together, and brought in 500 boys and 500 girls who had never had a toy before, you don't think the results would lean towards fairly traditional choices anyway? I'm just wondering here, I don't have an opinion either way.

I'd like to do an alt one too been wanting to run my Titan through the raid for a while but been after those Hunter gears.
