    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    I started it yesterday but only really up to Sanctuary but will reload before leaving the vault again as I had simply stuck 4 in every attribute. After watching a few beginners guides, that approach is somewhat foolish and I need to spec according to a play-style (preferably something stealthy /...

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    Fallout 4 Nextgen native update is now out. Downloading now on SX. Could not see a thread for it but might be worth creating one for the replayers and newcomers, especially around mods etc.

    I watched the above Asmongold yt clip and I'm still none the wiser. "Hard R Shop" is controversial?! *bemused*

    How old is your smartphone?

    Pixel 6, purchased in late 2022. I won't bother upgrading till this phone dies and then whatever the year old option is when it does. I refuse to spend more than 300 quid on phones these days.

    Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

    Aye. NextGen update drops on Thursday. I plan on playing it on the SX to completion this time. Hopefully the base-building aspect is not a key part of the game; I hate that stuff.

    What TV shows are you currently watching

    Dark Matter (original SyFy series). Attempted this years ago and gave up after a few episodes but forcing myself through all 3 seasons now. Ploughing through 2/3 episodes a night and up to Ep.6 now. Two is proper hubba hubba!

    Best savings account?

    Looking to renew fixed (not ISA) and stunned to see they now do 3 and 6 month terms with better interest than 9 or 12 months. Seems like the plethora of "new" banks are really competing to get your money. Looking at Atom for a 6m fix at 5.25%.

    XBOX Gamepass Ultimate conversion is back for £1

    WARNING! *sighs* Tried this morning with stacking xbox gold live codes via Turkey and failed! First code redeemed successfully but when attempting to add another it throws a "Hold off extending this right now". Cursory glance seems to suggest a soft lock for Turkey to 13 months maximum although...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    *sighs* indeed. Seems like a prime opportunity to bang in your 20k ISA allowance when the invariable incoming dip occurs.

    What TV shows are you currently watching

    A Murder at the End of the World. Watched Ep3. last night and the SciFi elements have kicked in!. Really enjoying it but have a soft spot for and pretty much like everything Brit Marling has co-written and also stars is in (still pang for a conclusion for The OA), both films and TV series.

    Westminster ‘honey trap’ scandal: Tory MP admits leaking numbers

    This degenerate should resign but won't. Kompromat'd himself by sending pictures of his own penis to random WhatsApp strangers. Stay classy Tories. This is being discussed in SC less than serious "government" thread.

    plan for collapse of Thames Water

    It just seems or appears the industry has operated in a vacuum since privatisation. As for the factors both you and @ttaskmaster have highlighted; it boggles my mind, the perceived lack of strategy when to comes to population growth, age of infrastructure, need for new and maintained...

    plan for collapse of Thames Water

    Even more depressing to think, assuming these cost pressures were applied, the increasing number of sewage discharges (whether through better monitoring or poor maintenance of infrastructure). I'm not too sure what to make of this at all. Clearly "being proactive" is a mantra utterly alien to...

    What film did you watch last night?

    Ricky Stanicky (Amazon Prime) 5 / 10 A pretty dire comedy with a few comical lines. I've discovered some improvisational stuff involving Andrew Santino and some of his absurdity amuses me and I've no idea why.

    plan for collapse of Thames Water

    OK, that makes a little more sense. I had naively not associated investment proposals versus increased costs to the customer outside of standard inflation costs. I had thought customers bills included the necessary margins for the investments, which makes the current situation even more depressing.

    plan for collapse of Thames Water

    Do you know what the rationale or logic was behind such a decision by the regulator?

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    Will they? The inference was based on development and investment in the supply platforms. Then a suggestion based to recoup the losses made by poor business. Thirdly, an acceptance that the big push to reduce usage hit the consumption based profits, so a further offset was required to ensure...
