I think Farron was their best bet. It's just a shame he couldn't go on hating the gays in secret whilst not actually putting into his politics.

Apparently Farron has stepped down as leader of lib Dems. Didn't see or expect this coming. Actually quite liked him and probably best thing for party atm. Was looking forward to him and JC moving forwards alongside eavhh other. EDIT: extra instability gonna do is no favours for attempts at not letting Tories form a last government. Silly bastard.

I know the current situation isn't ideal - but I have some hope now. So happy to not see a conservative majority, hope Labour manage to form a minority govt with support of other parties ongoing. Nobody wants to touch toxic coalitions since the damage it did the LibDems I think. Theresa May absolutely needs to fuck off too btw. She's fucked herself and her party with this, along with making things awkward for Brexit, not even mentioning her track record re: home secretary and 3 terrorist attacks under her watch as PM. Get her out.

Angus Robertson just lost his seat to the Conservatives. Hadn't realised he was at risk! EDIT: Clegg's gone to Labour!

2015 was under majority too. Don't get your hopes up.

So I totally haven't been on the forum much lately(soon to be rectified hopefully) but anyone who has me on fb will know from both Brexit and since I've been quite vocal about various parties there. However today I've opted to make a post for the non-voters which I'm copying and pasting here along with the link(it's public). You don't have to agree with it(and sure, it's my own thoughts with probably gaps) but if you do I'd ask you share it about. As much as I don't want more conservative votes - I'd take them if it means engaging those who don't vote at all.

I second this(tho I generally hate change on its own merit :p) - if it makes it easier for you guys on your end then I don't mind losing a bit of existing but fairly superficial functionality given the advantages, plus they sound fairly reasonable over the disadvantages. Also happy to chuck in something too.

Thought it was you mate. Didn't know about the latest stuff with it all - i was wondering cos I just wanted to ask if they offered anything like compo in shop credit etc?

Without even asking/discussing? Pretty spectacular fuck-up for Nintendo imo, their customer service has always seemed so on point when I've dealt with them! Admittedly not for about 3/4 years now. Does anyone know who it was here that got a Switch repair done and lost their entire Zelda save?

I weirdly have and similar to yourself rather surprised I'm not seeing more folks playing it from the ps+ offerings! It's a strange game, in some ways feels basic/old but in others feels quite on point(online stuff etc). I played mostly solo first but now I'm jumping in with randoms on the missions(again, excellent online features even if not aruably low level). Played a bit with my ex's bro and a little with Marcamillian too. The weird thing is me and Marc get issues all over PSN and it refuses to let us 'see' each other - so we've done co-op with BrokeGod as host and him seeing both me and Marc but me and Marc only seeing him and not each other. Yet, given the rather good design of the online in the game, it isn't really to great detriment. I'm not sure we're getting all the XP we each should, and abilities that can go on whole squad don't work for us on each other, but again with the design it hasn't been of terrible detriment when we're all in party chat etc. I feel it's a game with an unusual but really good balance. Even mission lengths at 20-30 on occasion but with so much action and shit you don't notice(i tell people this is like an isometric shooter equivalent of a hack'n'slash) but even the fact you can drop early without penalty etc is great. The random events and stuff are also great and i also feel it has a great design in its progression so far. Really loving it tbh, tho not playing as much as i might because no one else is, but i can definitely see it being something I keep dipping into. It's one of those excellent games for when you're not sure what to play and you kinda feel like you can't be arsed with too much mentally demanding - yet really great despite that description's implication of it being entirely mindless, because it's really not! /Alienation The thing is, and i know it's easy to say this, there's something about Overwatch that i think you'll really grow to love if you have the time to put in. You've got the game already - just give it a little go! Maybe team up with Eenuh for a bit(wouldn't recommend playing with more than one experienced person to start with) and see how you get on. Plus it's also one of the best excuses for top N-Europe bants, both on and off console!

You're a strange lady Pancake but I like you nonetheless.

Probably enjoyed that quote of his more than anything else I know about E3 2017 so far :p Don't know much about him tbh but his passion in that quote, and comments on E3 being opened to the public, kinda reminded me how great it is to be a gamer sometimes; even if I am incredibly lapsed compared to my younger days As for the actual event etc - interested to see what Nintendo bring but not going in with much expectation. Not much particular love or loyalty to anyone else but will obvs be interested in what stuff gets announced for PS4 and if any of it's up my street - think it's probably only that Spiderman game I can think of that excites me about it atm!

Thanks for the shout on Stardew Valley @Tales - gonna pick it up this evening methinks! Might use it as an excuse to spur me back into playing BotW which I haven't touched for about a month. Damn PS4 just keeps taking all my gaming attention with Overwatch and now Alienation!

I didn't go last year but a couple of my friends did - I'm not sure if I will or not as it's also my birthday weekend and I think people down here are expecting me to do a celebration for that too. Might look into tickets and prices today and go crazy though... Btw in other tabletop news - started a game of Seafall: Legacy earlier in the year; which I believe was a kickstarter. My first legacy game, and whilst I'm pretty consistently bottom two across the campaign total I'm rather enjoying it - though Marcamillian was exceptionally salty yesterday :p

No! F you! I did wonder myself but didn't have time to consult - but I was essentially gonna say the same as you Ash. So if Ashley's fine with it, I too am fine with it! I would say next time to check with us first @ncfcrulz but I see no harm in the threads atm and hopefully they'll get some positive discussions going, plus as a new member I think it's worth allowing it this time On that note - welcome to the forums ! If you need anything feel free to get in touch with myself or other blue names(mods) or red names(admins).

So yeah I'd basically never realised this -.- think I've been missing out on some my Nintendo rewards/points too as a result! Anyhow I've still be playing a bit each day - basically not touched single for ages tho just keep macking out on toad rally - tokens really ain't hard to come by compared to my time to play with the bonus blocks/houses etc. Do wish it wasn't a 99 limit tho. Saw a guy like a day or two after the update with 25kish Toads already - can't even think how they found all that time so fast!

There's a new update - Toad limits from Toad Rally upped from 9,999 to 99,999 iirc. Also a MK8 deluxe celebration 'event' with some new buildings to get, and a global prize of things depending how many people play Toad Rally during this time. Also some shit about being able to put items from Miitomo onto your Miis in this(something I've got little to no clue about so meh). Out of interest - is there an easy way to tell if one has linked their Nintendo Account? I can't find the option and I can't change my language in the settings which suggests it is linked, especially as I have my Mii on my SMR too so I must surely have got that from a linked account - but for some reason I don't have Toad as a playable character and I'm sure the game keeps telling me that I would get Toad if I linked my NNID??

Voting Labour partly for JC and their policies, but more so because I'm anti-Conservatives and it's the only real alternative I can see carrying any weight right now. If we're lucky JC might shake up the voting system to allow a much better representation of the people's wishes going forwards in future; I don't feel FPTP does that particularly well right now.

Hoping Le Pen doesn't get it. I haven't followed too much of world politics but from what a friend was telling me she seems to be another one of these pop-up fascists we're seeing/hearing a bit more recently. I find the current global political climate both bizarre and interesting.

Whilst not stricly Switch related i got so fucked off every time they fixed my 3DS because they reset the whole system - lost all my streetpasses etc for the two system crashes I had. That really shouldn't be the case in these days.

I agree it doesn't - but i feel the media is being quite unfair to him. I don't mean it to excuse other issues and his handling but it's certainly not helping. Thankfully social media is helping other voices be heard and I'm grateful for it as i see bits about Corbyn that i probably wouldn't otherwise. I was personally very impressed with his handling of a question about Syria at the recent business conference thing he was at but i don't think I'd have seen that if it wasn't for Facebook etc.

But what if the media are covering him with a bias? How does he overcome that?

Weirdly I've actively done rather little since the pink coins bar playing Toad Rally and going after gold Goombas - but it's been a good excuse to try and coin up the levels they're in. Mostly I've been smashing the shit out of Toad Rally given I hit the limit on tokens and there seems to be so many ways to keep getting them! I'm surprisingly impressed by the game given its mobile nature and its price - but I think I'm increasingly coming to the point of view that it isn't a bad buy for what you're getting. I enjoy the 'moreish' nature of Toad Rally in telling you what building you've got next; and whilst I wondered early on why I'd play any stage but a particular two on Toad Rally it's all making sense now - very interesting balance of things there for me. It's barely been a week, and maybe if I consider it in that time aspect that it's been costly - but I've been on this bastard on my phone so much in the last week(also thank god for fastcharging) that I'm almost glad I have both a.) a semi-acceptable phone and b.) paid the money for SMR. I can't deny it's very much the game's design getting me over the gameplay(very more-ish/one more go sort of style) but I'm generally impressed with it for what it is. I can't be sure I'll say it's £10's worth of work into it or that the price is great for it; but I do think for those who take the plunge it should effectively deliver enough.

Don't feel the need to be restricted by that! The thread is about what you want, it doesn't need to be technically possible :p Anyway for me it'd be most of the main titles so that I could pick up a Switch as my main gaming system/machine. I think ultimately I'd make more use of smaller/downloadable titles than retail - stuff like Stardew Valley etc which is already coming. I'd definitely like to see a new AC; tho I wonder without StreetPass(a lacking feature of Switch that I don't understand why?) how it might fare. I think I still think of the Switch mostly as a handheld/portable rather than a home console though; so that's affecting my thinking somewhat.

I think it's safe to say this thread is done as it's not really yielding much in the way or useful nor particularly Nintendo related discussion, so I'm just gonna go and lock it up. Any objections send through on PM or post on my wall.
