Yep, another A500 Batman pack owner here. The Amiga was so ahead of it’s time, it’s a shame it suffered the same fate as everything which wasn’t a PC. Turns out an open (ish), expandable, upgradable platform crushes other computers in the end.

It could do this, in 1987, at a very early stage in it's life. If only it had got proper traction I've no doubt we'd have seen some truly incredible stuff from it. First RISC based home computer IIRC, and if you trace back the lineage of most ARM processors which drive mobile phones you end up...

Want!

The disc controllers were always a bit pap, but the keypad let it do some fairly clever things for a console of the era - multi direction shooting in games like AD&D for example. It was primitive and there were plenty of cack games, but some are still enjoyable to play today. I’d happily while...

@dangerous dave love me a bit of intellivision 👍

Sharing this here because a lot of people seemed to like it when I posted it as a picture from a track day I did. Friend of mine is selling his MX-5. He’s following his usual pattern of spunking an absurd amount of money on a car, then deciding he wants something else and selling it. I say...

Yeah, as a buyer the fees just get taken automatically off your registered card at the end of the successful bidding. On the one hand it means they always get their cut, on the other it means a shonky bidder can't just walk away without taking some sort of hit (unless they're using a stolen...

I have a few bits and pieces I've collected, but honestly most of the old games are total shite and only worth playing for a bit of nostalgia. There are a very few that I still enjoy but in general fond memories are best kept that way. I went through the phase of collecting anything that used...

I think it's the same with a lot of "modern classic" stuff TBH, if you get the best low mileage example that you can then you'd frankly be mad to destroy the one thing which makes it valuable/special by actually using the thing. I've always felt that unless you're rolling the dice on keeping...

Honestly it makes some things so much better if you mentally replace duck with f**k :LOL:

Nothing wrong with sticking with what you know and like if maintaining the same feel is a priority over outright performance.

I don’t, but Tyre Reviews really rate it for handling and steering feel https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2022-Tyre-Reviews-17-Inch-UHP-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm

A support role can definitely give you a grounding in whatever you want to do. I started off as wanting to be a developer, did a straight computer science degree, did an industrial placement at IBM (back when that name actually meant something 😂) but once I finished all of my training, I...

I am so glad I work somewhere that I don't need to worry about any of that horseshit :LOL:

You've put your finger straight on the problem with project management in this sector. You get newly qualified PMs with their goddamn gantt charts and "how things should work" who are all about making sure the customer is happy yadda yadda yadda and they just completely f**k it all up because...

First thing is what do you want to do. “IT” is a vast field and I’d suggest you need to narrow down your criteria a bit. It can be as soul destroying as any other job if you’re stuck doing something you don’t enjoy. Entry level anything you’re up against kids but life experience and maturity...

Another +1 for CC, they have real market reach for stuff like that and without being funny about it, that's still a cheap car compared to most of what they sell so you're dealing with people who might pick it up on a whim. I'd hold onto it for now though if you can, you never know what life...

I cannot wait to drive some sort of enormous 4x4 monster truck down that beach and kill everybody there. Yes, I have some frustrations to work out in a virtual world, what of it. :LOL:

2025 my arse, this is Rockstar. 😂 Looks awesome though.

PS3 is positively ancient now though. In the 16” I’d go with the Continental premium contact 6, that’s a tyre which is a match for the Michelin ps4 in performance and it’s cheaper than the ps3 too. In 15” you’re a bit buggered by a lack of choice :(

I am loving the GTO Titan. I’m not a sim racer at all, I play video games to have fun, but it’s just so much more immersive even with entry level kit on it. Some of the best money I’ve spent I think.

Could just be UPS being cretins I guess. I was looking at getting some fanatec stuff too, but this has put me right off.

Already have 👍 It’s great, I can’t feel any flex although admittedly it’s hardly the most powerful force feedback wheel and it’s a lot of fun to use. The monitor actually works fine. although I’d like an ultrawide for better immersion I can see me just getting another TV. A lot of tweaking...

It is very big, the rig is ok for people weighing up to 200kg 😳 I could certainly have a smaller seat and still be perfectly comfortable, but overall I’m perfectly happy with the seat.

It’s the XL RS, ‘cos I am a chonky boi

I’ve yet to actually use it, but impressed with the GT Omega Titan so far. Easy to build, comfortable seat. OK the other components are a bit “my first sim rig” but I am just using what I had lying around. Must have had the Logitech for five or six years now and never used the thing 😂 A monitor...

Whereabouts are you? For much of the winter in the UK unless you're dealing with snow a winter tyre will be overkill and one of the new generation of all season tyres would be a better fit. You'll give up a little bit in snow and ice performance but gain elsewhere...

The Ally runs Windows 11 - basically it's a handheld PC so anything you can do with a normal PC to sync your saves will work - Steam cloud, battlenet, Rockstar, as long as they sync between PCs now they will also sync from the Ally.

Just saw this on YouTube, really impressive stuff. I reckon with the Max giving it a bit more thermal headroom performance may be a touch better compared to a non-Max 15 Pro.
