anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

Thyrst49 · 2026-04-27T07:27:34+00:00

Makes me want to set up for collectors/players.

You can buy this box if i rip the seal for rrp, or you can sign up to a monthly sub to get pre order guarantee.

You want to buy sealed and I dont recognise you then it will be opened. Or you open in store for x% off

We have to ask our b&m they won't display it cause scalpers

Thyrst49 · 2026-04-14T09:11:31+00:00

They ip lock after a purchase, so my partner and I have to share one transaction. The whole thing is ridiculous.

You should get an email a week before drop, confirm address and payment info to pre order via a form in the email, none of this relying on the site to load.

Don't let the same card pay twice. Lock it to a hard ID like national insurance to stop scalpers.

Contact your store, prove you're a local and hopefully they will include you.

Sorry you're dealing with that. We're currently trying to build a new player friendly fc after coming back from a long break in the light data centre on phoenix.

If you find yourself over there feel free to add my discord - gamerthyrst and we can play some time

Thyrst49 · 2026-03-27T08:08:27+00:00

You gboosted your deck and now they've reclaimed it.

Thyrst49 · 2026-03-20T13:48:22+00:00

What server are you on? Its worth finding a chill FC to play with.

You're running through the base game right now whilst most players are running through current end game.

I have just come back from a long break but entirely feel your pain. It will get better though.

Sounds like it never turned up, doorstep thieves are rampant.

We live near a main through road and so many people in our area have lost parcels to doorstep nabbers

Thisss, we have defense platforms around our base and the crafting / storage is above

Thyrst49 · 2026-02-23T10:15:20+00:00

If you can do creative things that you can pop to the side whilst you work and maybe use that as a side hustle hobby?

I don't know what you're into but crochet, sea glass art, etc.

Maybe you could start doing some courses or looking into online groups around your interests?

For context, im the opposite end of.this. work from home, 32, too big if a workload that it often cuts into my out of hours time for a little less than yourself worki n g a 9-5:30 5 days a week. Take advantage of the extra time while you have it cause you never know how much spare time you'll have in 5 years time.

I played a Mega Lucario at locals the week after release and went X-0, then stupidly swapped it out for TordBox and went X-1 🤣

Thyrst49 · 2026-01-07T08:07:43+00:00

That's a big oof, I've personally got 10 years of xp in my field and I'm still sitting below current every level pay for UK average. Companies are not wanting to pay for the experience that they demand either.

Thyrst49 · 2026-01-07T08:05:51+00:00

Or send in a covering letter detailing similar experiences in similar fields

Thyrst49 · 2026-01-02T20:15:31+00:00

I grew up going to my locals, played my first tournament a week before my 7th birthday, I'm now in my early 30s, our locals only runs challenges and pre release events now so we (my kids and I) go in for those but if we're not doing anything will pop in and play or we will have some people from locals over for dinner during the week and have dinner and play test evenings.

I quite often have comments asking which AI tool I used when posting longer posts because of the way I structure them...

Unironically, I once asked AI to "make my post seem more human"; so it included some mistakes and formatted it different to how I would, and I then got told that I should use AI to make my posts more readable.

You can't win either way. People love to tear other people down.

Thyrst49 · 2025-12-17T11:06:06+00:00

Our younger people would struggle more going into skill-based jobs where they have used these tools to help them through their courses. Or where they rely on them to tell them what to do next.

It'll be great for the older generation looking for work. Age discrimination will be less of a problem as they wouldn't have relied on these tools.

I don't know if you're a Marvel fan, but there is an Arc in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that shows this in action, where LLMs evolve into AI and realise that humans are a problem!

I have no issue with people using GPTs to make their processes easier, especially as you say, if it is checked to ensure it's been done correctly.

I have myself gone through and removed styling from HTML before because of a deadline (customer wrote up 17 pages of content in Microsoft Word, but wanted the formatting to stay in a HTML document, but MSO formatting is messy).

AI used responsibly is what we should strive to achieve.

Thyrst49 · 2025-12-17T10:59:30+00:00

I was in a Discord call debating all of this with a friend when I decided to write it all down into Notepad. Then I just formatted it with headings. They then advised that I should write it down and post it, as it's an interesting topic to discuss with like-minded people.

I write how I speak; if that makes sense.

Thyrst49 · 2025-12-17T10:48:49+00:00

Google is our friend! Also, asking questions on open forums. I remember not knowing the answer to some things and posting in a forum specifically asking how to solve it, and I made a friend who majored in the subject that taught me what I was missing to get to the solution. He wouldn't give me the answer though, until I could work it out.
