Probably about time for another Surrey Rolling Road 😏

The missus' M1 iMac arrived yesterday and I've been converted by the design, when you're using it you forget about the chin because the screen is so good and it's proper quick. Coincidentally she also got an M1 MacBook Air from work which is also top notch. Think I'm gonna be in 2 minds when...

Screw AC, get yourself on Euro Truck Simulator :LOL:

Yeah given their age the first two are still pretty good, think I need to play them again as some of the story in the third was lost on me a bit since I couldn’t remember some of the ins and outs of providence. I think Dartmoor is probably my favourite mission of the game, there’s so much more...

I’m just grateful Epic games doesn’t track time played (that I know of) as I’ve wasted a lot of hours on it. I always liked the Tom Clancy splinter cell games and hitman has definite splinter cell vibes. Played the last story mission today, sad that they’ve said it’s the last one, might play...

Been playing it for a month or so and bloody love it. Still only on the penultimate mission as some of them are so replayable and it’s addictive trying to get all the challenges done.

I’m kind of in the same boat, thinking about moving and not sure I’ll be able to have my existing wired 5.1 setup set up neatly in the new place, whereas a decent sound bar (potentially with nice stuff like AirPlay) could fill the gap nicely.

Ordered at 13:01, should be arriving in 3 weeks. Will be a big step up from her 2015 MBP. Given it’s Apple I’m expecting the green to look completely different irl so we’ll see. Features like magnetic power cable and thunderbolt ports are nice, and perhaps the screen will be good enough to...

Yeah I’m in the same position, use my work MacBook in clamshell mode and would love to be able to use touchID rather than typing in a 20 char pw all the time

The missus has decided she really likes the new M1 iMacs… in green… 🥴 Although if she’s paying and I get an M1 Mac to play with maybe I can’t complain… and I can’t wait for a wireless Magic Keyboard with TouchID

Solid spec there, although Yorkshire pudding might have something to say about that RGB RAM :sneaky:

It’s just such a good game, from cinematics to the main story to all the side nonsense you can do. put about 30hrs in on PC and still only 40% completed

You mean you don’t want a purple AIO with bang average specs for £2k??? I thought the iMac Pro was discontinued, which is a shame because a black one might redeem some of the design elements (and I want a black magic keyboard with TouchID)

Might pick up an AirTag or two tomorrow, but the eternal question... to engrave or not to engrave 🥴

Having played it through at launch and found it relatively enjoyable, I think I'm about ready to give it a second play through given the amount of patches that have come out - might be even better now. Also, the changelog for patch 1.2 is hilariously long, like probably 400 lines

As Christopher said, its insanely immersive, having spent all my life looking at 16:9 its amazing how much more inside the game you feel. And then being able to use it for work and have a full 16:9 window then another vertical window alongside is really good. That said, you need some decent PC...

Everything I’ve played on 21:9 has supported it natively except Fall Guys. there’s a website that catalogues support for 21:9 and 32:9 and whether it’s native or has to be hacked. For CoD for example https://www.wsgf.org/dr/call-duty-black-ops-ii/en

I’m kind of amazed more people don’t have ultra wides, they’re a game changer. Where is the desk from? I’ve been searching for a simple super wide one but drawn a blank with IKEA, JL etc.

This was genuinely the worst part about installing a second M2 drive, mobo didn’t come with one and neither did the drive, had to bodge it (bodge worked and haven’t got round to order a proper screw yet haha)

Windows has auto snapping and there's a proper nifty macOS app that has a bunch of snapping configs that can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts, use my work Mac with my ultra wide and it's fantastic. https://rectangleapp.com

I’ve had this for a year or so and it’s good, nice leather finish and works well. Just a note, the lights on the front never go off while the phone is charging. https://nomadgoods.com/products/base-station-apple-watch

Obviously start by saying depends on: budget, new/pre owned and whether you want to built it yourself. Websites like Overclockers and SCAN offer filtering based on performance etc so this should give you an idea of what you get for the money. SCAN have a useful infographic showing what each...

Samsung claim it matches the curvature of the human eye - but that could be utter nonsense sales talk. Not having used it I have no idea if its good. That said, I‘d struggle to go back to 16:9 after a few months with ultra wide

Funny I was just looking at mine (1900R) today thinking, you can hardly tell it’s curved when you look at it, yet from the side profile it’s noticeable. That Samsung is mad, although heard there were quite a few quality control issues with the G9

Got the Alienware AW3420DW in lockdown and it's bloody brilliant. Meets all your requirements and it's a good looking piece of kit. https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/alienware-34-curved-gaming-monitor-aw3420dw/apd/210-attp/monitors-monitor-accessories

Not bad looking that... Been looking at getting a Series S and a wireless headset for some occasional gaming with my Xbox fwends when we wanna play something that doesn't have PC crossplay. Steelseries make some banging kit though... https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-9x

On mine you get more exhaust noice, heavier steering, faster shifts and it flicks it into sport gearbox for the longer gears

Very nice motor, I was never that sure about S3s until I started looking for something fast and comfortable and ended up buying one last year, gave me a greater appreciation for the older ones too. It really does everything and s-tronic is proper superb.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Sometimes the graphics are truly horrifying but I grew up playing this so it’s a nice occasional throwback when I’m really fucked off with CP2077
