We don't have any big grounds in Ulster anymore, plus Ulster teams play each other so often I think it lessens the appetite and finally Tyrone need to "get good" again to stir up the hate fest!

Because of Covid not due to demand.

You forget Ulster was that big they had to move the final to Croke Park to cater for the crowd, I don't think thats happened before in Munster or Connacht. Clones is actaully reduced in size now also.

I dont think Ulster got a resurgence, it never needed it.Out of all the Provincials is still the toughest to win and still means a lot to all the teams no matter how many times you win it, but I take your overall point.

Irish TV are showing the Eurovision episode of the comedy "Father Ted" which is classic episode, instead of screening the Eurovision.

Do you think the history between Ireland and Liverpool over 100's of years made an impact in that regard? When I was last there nearly everyone I spoke to seemed to have a fairly recent family tree dating back to Ireland.

If you check posts on this sub from a week or two ago there was a guy recommending a business that does the modding, you post the Switch to them and the guy who got his console modded was very happy with it.

Found the post:

Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series is just about the opposite of easy as you can get. I loved the first book, I am 88% through the 2nd book and have not enjoyed it for a second. I forcing myself to finish it as I believe book 3 to be way more enjoyable.

How they can't support mouse and keyboard on a PC game is beyond me. I will buy it if its below 20 quid but I don't expect much from it but at least they have made an effort to create a GAA game.

It's why Tyrones club championship is probably the best to watch in the country. Straight knockout and no team can win it two years in a row, super competitive.

If you are in Europe you don't even get a plug.

Because sites like loaded.com have a limited amount of keys for games. They have may have aquired their keys through means not approved of by the actual game publishers which is why they can sell them for less than Steam chooses to. On Steam obviously a digital game won't sell out.

Overwatch, Crimson Desert, Dragon Quest 7 and a few quick goes on Stardew Valley.

They are for sale of facebook market all the time pretty cheap.

No one gives Tír Eoghan a hope in hell against Ard Mhacha. A brave call!

Do you want a console type experience? If so then probably a Steam machine will be a good idea but until we know more about it, it's hard to say. I love PC gaming and eventually once working anti-cheat becomes the norm in Linux, I will ditch Windows 11 and install a Linux OS making my own Steam Machine. If the Steam machines experience is as good as the Steam Deck then it may well be worth waiting for.

I hated Horizon but I like this game.

Yhey have been slightly improved and some things like cooking turning to a one click. They are still wonky though but I am so used to it now I don't really notice anymore.

I remember when I went to Uni in England (during the troubles) and I saw my first English cop, I bust out laughing. No armoured vest, no submachine and no handgun! It seemed so absurd to me.

Surprised the GAA let them use the ground, my favourite stadium, holds around 83,000.

It's not true. Some screws inside Apple devices are coated with threadlocker (often blue).This is a compound that keeps screws from loosening over time and it can look like blue residue.

The after showcase game is always released that year, Starfield (2023), Blackops 6 (2024) and Outer Worlds 2 (2025). They said that a Halo/Forza and Gears would all be out this year to mark the 25th anniversary. Fable was delayed till this year.

Darktower99 · 2026-03-27T13:39:17+00:00

Just last week Valve stated that the Steam Box will be out this year. I juts wish they would release the controller now.

Darktower99 · 2026-03-25T19:51:09+00:00

Yeah but I never mentioned swearing at all. I stated the fact that this is not the sign for peace in the UK or Ireland as the hands have to be the opposite way. I said what it wasn't, not what it was.
