There is evil gambling too but after I used all the free new player currency I looked at what it would cost to buy more and couldn't believe it. Like you'd need to offer 4-5x what they do for the price for me to even think about.

I gave BA a shot when it hit PC and no, there is no video game here, but I quite liked the VN so fair play to them. If they didn't gate parts of it behind needing your own squad instead of the borrowed units you use for most of it I'd even recommend it but you put some weeks in to get through those.

I rewatched Deep Blue Sea when Arrow put out the new restoration and the stuff with LL Cool J being cut off from the rest of the cast when everything kicks off is properly funny. Whenever it cuts from the main plot to him just having the worst day at work anyone has ever had is absolutely magic.

Green Man is essential for new releases now. Used to be a proper discount, now it's the only way to pay a normal price.

Tons of nostalgia for this one and it's even better than I remember. Hepesh is a better villain than most and the Federation delegates all rule. Aggedor is a big pal. As good as the show has ever been.

Flash the ground when he jumps and the belly flop becomes a free knockdown.

You want to buy just after CES, where they announce all of the new sets for the year. Then it's a game of chicken to see how low all the retailers discount last year's sets before they sell out. They drop like a stone in those couple of months.

Still too steep for me to give it a punt after being lukewarm on 1, but the EE store of all places have it for ยฃ60 and are consistently the cheapest when it comes to new releases now.

It's like when they talk about bringing Battlestar Galactica back again. It doesn't work if they're not doing Abu Ghraib shit to the robots.

Baffling that this is the same guy who did the returns of The Master or Rassilon, which are so seamless I could see someone not even realising it was a return.

Going from that to "Hello, I am Character Last Seen In 1987, and I am searching for Character Last Seen In 1983" with no context is mental.

"Been a bit ill today, I'll just hang back and take it easy tonight"

They open with Sickbed of Cuchulainn.

I am at the barricade.

God I've missed The Pogues. Didn't realise how much I'd been subconsciously craving the chance to lose my mind to Poor Paddy for all these years until I was there.

One thing you miss out on watching just the pilot is the fact that that's all the special effects shots they could afford. They're just reused over and over for the rest of the show.

Another is the episode where they fight the actual devil out of the (specifically Mormon) bible.

05.05.2025 15:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Aye, that's all good. The double headed ones are for when you're wanting to power multiple devices that don't need the full 150W but there's no harm just leaving one not connected to anything. Whatever is connected to the one you do connect will be able to draw the full 150W through it.

I've been hearing the term for what feels like ages now and still haven't the faintest. Couldn't even point to a game title and go "like that". Brain has just been instinctively adding it to the "ignore any title that mentions this" pile alongside the likes of "survival" and "early access".

29.04.2025 22:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The single connector ones will work too if you want to save a bit of cash, and if you're smarter than me you'll actually read how many come in the packet and not end up ordering a six pack by mistake.

Yeah, you'll see them labelled by "type" and "generation" (Type 4 Gen 3 or Type 4 Gen 4 etc) but "Type" is all that matters. I went through this same faff when I first bought a card with the splitter like that a couple of months ago and it took me ages to get my head around which bits mattered.

29.04.2025 17:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Should be able to find your manual on their website if you want to be 100% certain.

29.04.2025 17:27 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Any of the 8 pin ones should be fine. I think some brands have in the past differentiated between the 8 pin PCIE and 8 pin CPU sockets but looking at yours it looks like they're interchangeable (which is the usual way). Everything else will have a different number of pins and so the cable won't fit.

29.04.2025 17:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Any of the 6+2 PCIE slots, yeah.

29.04.2025 16:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You should be able to buy them individually, just look up whatever your PSU is and they should have something on their site saying what type it uses. Usually about ยฃ5-10.

Oh just clocked it's the Ti, that's a 275W card so yeah I'd definitely want a second cable in there.

29.04.2025 16:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It'll run but you might get cut outs under heavy load. 4070 is a 200W card and the cables supply 150W each. Card can draw another 75W through the motherboard slot but you're not giving yourself much headroom if it spikes. Worst that will happen is it'll crash though, you'll not damage anything.

29.04.2025 16:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Aye, as long as that's two separate 6+2 PCIE cables coming from the PSU and not a daisy chained one with two sets of connectors on a single cable.

If you can hold on I would, they're riddled with driver issues currently. They're breaking something new with every update. Give it a few months to settle down.

If nothing else I did make myself laugh imagining the set dresser sent to empty the nearest HMV for those shelves behind them.

Wendy & Lucy. Honestly I go back and forth between 3 or 4 films, but all of them Reichardt.

Physical game listings are going up at โ‚ฌ90, โ‚ฌ80 for digital, and that better be a fucking placeholder.
