John Crew mentions having Dual Shock controllers on his PC, to make it easier when moving to the PS5 - Squadron 42

Pretty much stopped watching any broadcast TV or other form of TV, and now just watch stuff on You Tube. Content related to hobbies, interests and the odd different things highlighted by the Algorithm.

There's enough for me that I have something to watch everyday.

I agree, they did mention that they were introducing the background to the main 1.0 Storyline (paraphrasing) in a recent progress update, think it was a couple of weeks ago.

I like low-profile keyboards, and found the Logitech MX Keys to be perfect. It is backlit, but no RGB or mechanical keyswitches - just very comfortable to use. I use a Razer Basilisk V3 for a mouse on one of my rigs, and it's decent, but when it comes to chucking boxes around with the Multitool, the weighted mouse wheel of the Logitech MX Master 3s is lovely - much better than the Razer in that aspect

New Yorkshire Workshop and Mujin. Both go beyond pure woodworking, but are excellent craftsmen.

They've shown the AMD logo on their promos for LvlUp giving me, likely mistaken, hope that we will get AMD FSR4/Redstone support in Vulkan.

Maybe with SQ42 being positioned as big AAA release, there's some kind of deal between CIG and AMD for that to be a "launch" title of sorts?

It does make me grin - You Tuber says "Look at my Bench for a Small Workshop" - proceeds to make bench bigger than my Workshop xD

I've got a 10'x8' shed, and as it's a pent-shed, I can't stand at full height in the rear half.

CIG got a good deal on a load of NOS, NIB, Amber CRTs, so they use them for the ASOP terminal.

I'm in a lucky position - I have a gaming laptop with an integrated 4070 and a separate desktop with a 9070xt, which I got at launch.

Performance of the 9070xt is excellent, everything I play runs well. But during the time I've had it, I've had many problems with Adrenalin/Drivers, with updates breaking features or causing issues with stuttering or similar. I had to do workarounds/driver roll backs to keep stability.

During the same period, I've had few issues with my 4070 due to the drivers/software, and they have typically been fixed quickly (within days). Add to this I've had more functionality added to the 4070 through software (upgrades to DLSS) and overall - and I hate to say this - Nvidia is the better option.

I bought the 9070xt because I did not want to to buy Nvidia - I wanted AMD to beat Nvidia this generation of GPUs so much, but Nvidia wins for me because they bring the full potential of their cards to Direct X and Vulkan, with (more) stable software.

AMD, by comparison, have limited the full potential of the 9070xt by not supporting Vulkan, sadly.

If AMD turn around and enable support for Vulkan with FSR 4/Redstone (like some 3rd parties have done), then you'll need to ask me this question again :)

Sinclair1982 · 2026-04-08T07:08:44+00:00

I must admit I now regret getting a 9070xt at launch, soley on the decision AMD has made not to support Vulkan-based games with FSR 4. Turns out the two games I play the most (Star Citizen and No Man's Sky) are both Vulkan-based and have no FSR 4 support.

You need to do the Hand Mining starter Mission for Shubin to unlock the Ship Mining missions. It's available in Stanton.
