    Worst hotel room view you had

    Actually just had this happen. Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. Quite a nice one. Threw open the curtains hoping to be lucky enough to have a nice view over Lake Michigan. Instead I have the front grill of a Chevy Malibu and a steel cable about 5 feet from my face. Turns out it was right next to the...

    Menu freezes with any recent Radeon drivers

    I'll try that. TBH I think I'll end up sticking with the older drivers if I have to disable a major feature to get the newer ones working properly

    Menu freezes with any recent Radeon drivers

    This is very annoying. With any of the past 3-4 versions of the AMD video drivers I get freezes in almost every game. Never during actual game play - always when opening the map, quests, menus, inventory, etc. I tested the latest drivers today and it happened with AC Odyssey, HZD, Asseto Corsa...

    The Last of Us (HBO, from Creator of Chernobyl) - No game spoilers please

    Haven't played the games. Thought the show was good so far, but not amazing. Maybe I've just seen too much sci-fi / horror, but it was all very unoriginal and precictable. It seems like this show is going to be the next big thing as the hype already seems to be spreading fast. I'll definitely...

    FIFA World Cup 2022 Quarter-Final ** spoilers ** [9th - 10th December 2022]

    My first World Cup was 1986. Gotta be honest, every World Cup since then has just merged into one in my mind. Are we ever going to either kick on to the next level....or just get lucky? Or is this just what we'll do forever? Anyway, Southgate has done great and deserves a lot of credit...

    FIFA World Cup 2022 Group H ** spoilers ** (Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, S. Korea)

    Well, I'm going to trigger the wrath of everybody by saying Ronaldo is a legend. Of course he's not the player he was, but he deserves to be there. It would be absurd if a player with his stats and records wasn't involved in his final WC. True, I would accept maybe he should be starting on the...

    GTX 1650 Super died - RX 6600 to replace

    Looks like my 1650 Super has bit the dust. Don't have too much money to splash this close to Christmas. Looks like the best I can get in my price range is the RX 6600 (the none-XT type). I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to hardware over the past 2-3 years, but a quick search seems to show...

    What the heck is wrong with my build?

    Thanks for all the suggestions, chaps. With the new mobo (ASUS B450) I did make sure both the Ryzen and the exact RAM model were on the QVL. I will try messing with some of the CPU settings in the BIOS though. I did forget to mention that I don't overclock this rig at all. In fact, I've even...

    What the heck is wrong with my build?

    Of all the machines I've built down the years, this one is by far the most unreliable and biggest pain in the caboose. It just constantly CTDs. Some days it doesn't do it at all. Other days it's every few mins. Started life with a Radeon 570 which I figured was bad so got a 1650 Super. Still...

    Summer Transfer Window 2021/2022

    Great story - would love to have been able to see everything going on behind the scenes. Was he ever going to sign for City? Or was this just to force Man U's hand? Is this basically a kiss-and-make-up gift from the Glazers to the fans after the Super League fiasco? Also, Ronaldo comes back...

    UEFA Euro 2020 Final Italy v England ** spoilers ** [Sunday 11th July 2021]

    I hate all this BS about how England just had an easy ride and we're secretly rubbish all along and lucky to make it to the final. Yes, Italy were definitely better on the night, and I think Southgate made some bad calls. But the rest of the tournament was almost perfect for us. You have to beat...

    UEFA Euro 2020 Final Italy v England ** spoilers ** [Sunday 11th July 2021]

    A decently talented bunch of players, hamstrung by a complete donkey of a manager. Still, a good tournament even so for England, and Italy deserved it anyway.

    UEFA Euro 2020 Semi Finals ** spoilers ** [6th - 7th July 2021]

    I don't think Southgate's tactics will be compatible with a final against Italy. I honestly think our only hope is to overwhelm them with our pace and basically just go for it. If we try and play tight and hope to edge it they will 100% beat us. And penalties? In the final? At Wembley? In front...

    Pentagon releases UFO footage

    It's my belief that these UAP are advanced military systems. At least some of the footage is from the Pacific not far from San Diego. In the early 1960s, the CIA were flying unmanned drones at Mach 3.2 out from the west coast over the pacific. And these things weren't made from duct tape and...

    Frustrating BSOD error

    I recently purchased a new ASUS monitor and ever since I'm getting BSOD due to a "video scheduler internal error". It ONLY happens when not playing games. Just browsing the web or pottering about in Windows will cause it to randomly happen. Sometimes it can happen 2-3 times in quick succession...

    Phrases you can't stand...

    I work in IT. I absolutely loath "shop", as in "we're a Microsoft shop" :mad: NO...no we're not a shop. Just shut up.

    Anyone deal with arachnophobia? NO Pictures of Spiders unless in spoiler tags.

    One thing I really don't miss about the UK - the house spiders! Seriously, every time we miss Blighty the conversation always ends with "yeah, but remember the spiders..." :( Here in the upper midwest there's no spiders worth mentioning - especially compared to the UK house spiders. The biggest...

    The New European Super (borefest) League

    Looks like the Super League clubs got reassured they'll be getting more of the Champs League cash. But now they'll all claim they just had a change of heart :rolleyes:
