Happenstance

As I said, I still have some historical rage issues I may need to work through that don't relate to the current section and they may slip out from time to time 😆

I don't like the way its done now with threads getting moved so I'd definitely be up for just the reworking of the current sections so multiformat games stay out of the filthy Nintendo section. Personally I'm still for merging the two sections so game threads could just be posted and discussed in regardless of format but I guess I'm just too progressive for this forum 😜

Thats a shame, conservatives had a big drop in my area but managed to cling on.

Not too many posters around here in the build up, just lots of flyers. I did have the early 20s version of the Milky Bar Kid turn up at my house last week though to try and promote his Tory candidate.

I looked into it a bit more after chatting with Hero and it wasn't really grabbing me so I probably won't bother. Thinking about maybe going with Cassette Beasts now for something new.

Got mine in nice and early this morning before work. I haven't currently got any photo ID so I applied for one of those photo certificates with your picture on. I assume I was the first one they'd seen as they seemed quite confused at first😆

To be fair I never suggested merging that general gaming section where those are found.

While we are looking at the forum with the upgrade I just want to put out an idea and see what people thought. Is it time for us to merge the Nintendo Gaming and Other Consoles sections? I don't know about anyone else but I think I miss out on some discussions now because I don't go into the Nintendo section very much (mostly due to historical issues with posters there that have since left or been cleared up) and with the new "rules" that if a game is available on Switch the thread must be placed in that section, regardless of if it was created in Other Consoles first it gets a bit confusing. I also think we aren't nearly as big as we used to be so merging the sections could just help with all the threads being in one place. Just an idea I wanted to float by everyone.

They'll regret it when they see an uptick of...(Googles classic Zelda enemies)....Moblin attacks around Nuneaton!

Might look into that then, see if it catches my eye.

Which of the series have you played? Wouldn't minding a new jrpg to get into myself and from the looks of my Steam library I've only owned Ys I & II.

Looking fancy!

Got my games for this Steam sale. Didn't do too many this time, just a couple I'd had my eye on that should work well on specific devices: Anno 1800 Neon Abyss Bloons TD 6 The Binding of Isaac Rebirth

Yep similar with me as well at my last job. Worked at a school that was a pretty friendly place, all of us admin/IT staff felt like an actual team, then the school group came. We became a school group with 2 other schools (1 senior school then us 2 prep schools) and the senior school started making a lot of the decisions, usually made from a senior school mentality, not understanding the needs of a school for younger children. I was managing the databases, phones, printers etc at the time and it became impossible to do my job. Contracts weren't paid so we kept losing access to software, everything became very corporate and all the staff became miserable. I left about a year and a half ago and since then they've lost multiple teachers and I'd say at least half of the admin team.

Might be worth looking up some chat about Disco Elysium online and see how people have found the UI and text size while playing it on the Deck.

Wanted another retro handheld that I could just leave in my bag for when I was out and needed to kill some time so got myself the Miyoo Mini Plus. Nice little handheld.

Affinity v2 suite now has arm versions so those would work. I installed Affinity Publisher today.

This new one is on the new arm chips so gets a lot better battery life but you just have to go into it knowing that not all software will work brilliantly straight away. A lot of stuff either has arm versions already that work brilliantly or can be automatically run through the emulator and you barely notice but you do get the occasional software like Premiere Pro that is just locked out by Adobe until they release a proper arm version of it. It depends what you use your Surface for really. Mine is a bit of graphic design and art for work then a load of media consumption and web browsing. 90% of the software I use already had compatible versions.

Selling my Macbook Air after the end of the grand Apple experiment and decided to go with the new Surface Pro 11 as it's replacement. Been using it all today and I'm really happy with it. It's my first Arm device but so far no real issues with software compatibility. Battery life seems to be great and I've still yet to hear the fans.

I'm appreciating at least how frustrated and annoyed the pundits are getting with England as well.

This is painful to watch

This for me has got to be one of the least hyped tournaments. I forgot it was happening for the most part.

Another interesting episode of Acolyte this week. Loving seeing the Jedi expanded upon again, showing more of what we got in the prequels.

Went back and bought all the dlc for Civ 6 afters 7s announcement this weekend. I used to really enjoy 5 but 6 kind of passed me by so it's been nice to get back into it. Just need to relearn how to play properly now!

Not a series I have a particular fondness for but it's interesting to watch the development of this and see how it turns out. It's been giving big Duke Nukem Forever vibes so at least what they showed this weekend looks better than that!
