    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    Tried the (very) short Underkeep demo on Steam and I really liked it. Proper nostalgic 2D dungeon crawler - it even references the 'worm round' food from FTL's classic Dungeon Master. In these days where everything has to have a back story and chapters of lore with it - to create a party and...

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    Went for the knock-off 8Nm boost kit over the 5Nm default Fanatec offering. Half the price of the official item, but it works well. Glad I bought it. https://amzn.eu/d/0eMrtD0r

    Decent front brakes for a standard 172 Cup?

    Had Brembo discs up front on my last overhaul. Standard OEM ones on the rear. Found that the Brembos tend not to get much in the way of surface rust when the car has been parked after rain also.

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    Had a few delivery drivers ask about mine as it's parked on the drive, next to the front door. While I like people asking questions about it, there is that glint of paranoia about it. They are 99% most likely genuinely interested in it. It's the remaining 1% that you don't know about.

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    True. That Fiesta couldn't have been worth sod all though - strange that it would even be targeted. Unless is was pure opportunity. It's like the modern cars that all have their wing mirrors folding. Any scroat can visually scan a car park and see which one is unlocked. They might not have the...

    As always - very impressive stuff that my brain would probably comprehend 1% of!

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    12-year-old Fiesta with 100k on the clock getting stolen. Seemingly any 'ol s**t is still fair game. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yp08kmk4eo

    Do you have one of those protective covers on the wheel underneath as well?

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    I know. And I've never had any issues with mine at all. I just don't know why this has crossed my mind recently.

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    Thanks all - Disklok it is then. Do they do one big enough for the truck-sized steering wheel in the Clio? ;) I've always had that inverse view that being seen to 'overly' protect your car, might attract more attention? I'll just have to get over that!

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    Not sure why I've been having some concerns of late - but it has crossed my mind to get some form of security deterrent for the 182 in the form of a DiskLok or similar. Just wondering what people's views and experiences are? I know full well that they won't stop someone determined - but if it...

    Assetto Corsa EVO

    Sounds like they have bitten off more than they can chew. And the recent reviews reflect this..... "An Update on the Future of Assetto Corsa EVO With Release 0.5, we want to take a moment to share an important update about the direction of Assetto Corsa EVO, shaped by ongoing discussion and...

    Gaming/office chair

    Their sales support has been great too. Had a slice in the leather of the seat base underneath - so clearly not visible and it didn't really bother me. However, I contacted them and they sent me out a replacement seat base FOC - all I had to do was pay for the delivery. Did that and they...

    Two years on from my last post on this thread, still using my SecretLabs chair daily.

    Repair or replace Clio 172

    Simple really. The thousands I've spent on mine over the years was purely to continue my enjoyment of it. I'm not owning it for any financial gain and also for the fact that the last one I saw on the road was around September last year. Given their age and what they are designed for - they are...

    Happy birthday 182

    Don't be saying that. Mine's on its 2nd, but that must be from 10+ years ago now. Hopefully that doesn't mean a new one soon.

    Happy birthday 182

    Yep - since December 2004. :) Still love driving the thing! All that s**t French build quality too...... ;)

    DF026 & DF152 codes recorded

    Nice one - thanks for that. Seems that the Bosch ones are tricky (and pricey) to find. Are 3rd party alternatives OK, do you know?

    DF026 & DF152 codes recorded

    Hi all, So, the last couple of months - I've had the SERV and ABS lights appearing and then going off. Usually it would come on when the brake pedal had been applied a fair bit - coming off a motorway and the like. If I switched off the car and restarted it, the lights would go for a while and...

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, XBOX ONE, PS4)

    Impressive if that happens - given how long ago the initial release of Witcher 3 was. The impression I get from most people who have played both Projekt Red's titles is that while they really liked 2077, they actually loved W3.

    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, XBOX ONE, PS4)

    So, made a couple of small attempts back at this on the PC recently - as I'm not really feeling the vibe for ARC Raiders. W3 runs beautifully with all the bells & whistles applied and I'm tinkering with the K&M inputs to get better and more refined as I settle into it. There are comments online...

    Lotus Elise 20th Anniversary Edition

    I love anything like an Elise or Exige. Just a simple formula, executed really well. I assume prices are still very healthy on these?

    Sim Rigs - Let’s see yours

    3D printed clips for the NLR GT Track frame. Two sizes for the difference leg sections - clip on perfectly. No more shitty dangling wires or cable-ties attempting to keep it all neat.

    2001 clio ph2 1.6 16v weird idle problem

    I had bad idling issues where the car was almost stalling at traffic lights, etc - and replacing both exhaust sensors fixed the issue. As you've said that they have already been done - that's now unlikely. Do you know if they were branded items or something else?

    Teardown

    Just a 'slightly' more destructive choice over people playing Solitaire or Bejewled on their PCs for three hours. ;)

    Teardown

    Because of this thread, I reinstalled in over the weekend. Amazed at the way the fire spreads realistically when you set fire to the likes of ceiling joists and wooden flooring. It should be rebranded as the 'Inner Anarchist Simulator'.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah - plays really well. I get a micro-stutter when I go into a completely new section of the map - but that's usually when I'm going flat out in a car. On foot, there's nothing at all.
