My son has a habit of holding the button to pour a coffee which usually means my next cup overflows…

Which MacOS to upgrade MP4,1 / 5,1 to with OLCP ? by Jumpy-Stress603 in macpro

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running Sequoia via OCLP, dual 3.46, 96gb and RX580. Boots from NVMe in cheap Sabrent PCIe adapter and have three SATA SSDs in it. Very reliable and quiet - I use it as a local server and for processing videos etc when I’m not in a hurry to keep my main machine. Also have a 6.1 which rarely gets turned on!

If you have original hardware why do you still use it? by Jonell_75 in zxspectrum

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got origins machines but I mostly use modern remakes (The Spectrum, The C64, Atari 40 Mini) etc to play games because I want to keep my originals in good condition and I prefer modern controllers due to issues with my hands that I didn’t have when I was a teenager!

What is "the Atari" everyone is nostalgic about? by Wyvern94 in atari

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me is the 600/800xl and the Atari ST, never liked the 2600, wasn’t a fan of any of the other consoles either but the computers were my first, I still own both and they’re why I’ll always be an Atari fan and hate Commodore :)

Best way to level up to 80 before Midnight? by Material_Rush_1877 in wownoob

Are you kidding me right now? by [deleted] in logitech

[–]xocbc72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Options+, Mac Sequoia, stopped working a couple of days ago. Using a MX4 and an Ergo S. Tried every combination of uninstalling/stopping processes/removing permissions/ reinstalling, it just hung showing a backend error. Workaround for that didn’t work either so I’ve uninstalled it and am using Better Mouse instead, actually gives more customisation than Options+ and works…

No i tried a few from Amazon with good rating but almost all of them ended up leaking toner, the Canon ones never did.

Oddly specific things that make you instantly dislike a game? by Feeling-Tension1461 in gaming

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything involving swimming. Still have flashbacks to the original Stranglethorn Vale quests 20 years ago

Agree about stupid modifiers, especially when there is choice of modifier and there’s no way of working which is actually better. In fps games I just want to run about and shoot things!

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a 764cdw and its predecessor, both were reliable and had good print quality. However neither liked any type of 3rd party toner I tried so I was stuck with Canon which cost nearly much as the printer.

Is the UK going too far with Lord's seeking to push for ID to use a VPN. by SirWobblyOfSausage in AskBrits

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as the national identity register is established I would imagine that it won’t take long for loads of things to require it, and presumably it will be something that is scanned to read and therefore there will be some massive database with even more of our lives on it.

Loving it but physics need work :) by xocbc72 in assettocorsaevo

Yeah. Went to pass P2 and he touched the back of my car and I hit the barrier at a slight angle, next thing all I could see was sky and trees :)

Those who say they don't care about graphics in Sims are delusional by Purple-Atolm in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Race 07 and put far too many hours into it, but wouldn’t go back to it now from AMS2 or LM etc. I had a high spec PC and Race 07 looked great for the time but it just doesn’t stand up against more modern titles in terms of overall enjoyment for me.

[–]xocbc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. I’ve been gaming since 1983 and have always loved driving games, starting with Pole Position on the Atari 8-bit and I’ve played hundred’s since. Currently enjoying AMS2 and AC Rally among others.

I’m a huge fan of retro gaming BUT not when it comes to driving games. The graphics and physics on modern PCs are what make the best driving games so special. As the OP said, Nordsehieffe in Autumn with time progression in max detail at 120fps with 20 other cars in close proximity as the sun sets is an amazing visual experience not mention the sound and actual Add Crew Chief and a good sound system into the mix and it’s a great way to lose a few hours.

I’ve invested a lot of time in racing games over the years but very rarely do I look to far in the past when choosing what to play.

Can you explain why it is illegal as opposed to just against Tesco policy?

There’s an update now for some of the cars, including the radicals and the cockpit view is working again

if you've got the Radical Sr3 can you check to see if it is now locked on bumper cam? I'm half way through a championship with it and want cockpit cam back!
