  1. No way they'd just pitch shift the male voice for Female V on a game of this budget. She was voiced by an actress called Cherami Leigh. I think her performance is superior to the male V from what I've heard of the male lines (I usually play female V, dunno why) https://youtu.be/cra9Rr26TIs?si=l41I1OlyPaBnUNp5
  2. So people still on the fence about Starfield or why it's not well received... This video meme kinda sums it up https://youtu.be/ws0ufhrgWJw?si=8g2OKghY7vnCXv7n
  3. Nice! I've always wanted to go to Prague.
  4. You could look at getting a Steam Deck. They have an OLED edition which is meant to be amazing. It's basically a handheld like switch but it runs PC games and it's about £300-£400 for regular Steam Deck and about £500-£600 for the OLED. So you won't need to subscribe to anything and can play anywhere you want. Bed gaming sounds nice, but you can connect it to the TV with USB-C to HDMI cable. Just want a long enough cable to sit comfortably. My mate has one and he loves it. https://uk.pcmag.com/migrated-84555-gaming/149731/valve-steam-deck-oled
  5. I thought it was regular 1660? Not Ti, my bad. I didn't Vet my GPU stats. But either way, those machines are all 2 generations ago. And if it's just for gaming, for the money, I'd say a new console is preferable.
  6. Oh okay that's what it was. So maybe 5700x3d. It's a kick ass CPU, I've just ordered myself
  7. If there is no urgency I would consider slowly over a period of months buying bits and bobs to build your own rig. There are loads of guides to assemble a build online and it's not as hard as it would seem. (Ryzen CPUs slot into motherboards with ease and no sickening crunch like Intel CPU's do. If you stay with the AM4 generation it will be considerably cheaper than diving into AM5. Ryzen have released some new CPUs with a 3D cache (like the one I've just bought) which offer massive performance benefits for relatively lower cost and will last until AM6 generation starts. You could get a 5600X3D (I think they're only available at best buy or some other US retailer) for 200 bucks and those cpus kick ass for gaming, especially for the price. OR you could go into AM5 which is the new generation, DDR5 ram and the like, and it is roughly double the price for parts (for RAM at least) but is considerably more powerful tech. You could go for lower spec AM5 parts and then make smaller upgrades in the future if you wanted to increase performance. This is probably what most people online would suggest. Either go low end AM5 or higher end AM4 3d cache CPU. Then other bits you can pick up off eBay as and when they come available. And less of a financial sting if you do it slowly over a period of time than all at once on something convenient but jacked in price Just remember to buy the correct parts for your generation (AM4 or AM5), and make sure the dimensions of your parts will fit your mobo and your case. Make sure your PSU will have enough wattage and overhead to run your CPU and GPU and ram comfortably. But don't go overboard. If your only gaming you don't NEED 32 GB ram, 16 is enough, but it won't always be this way so maybe 32 is better for future proofing. I'd sell you my old CPU, RAM and cooler for the cheap, but since Brexit sending all that to the US would be as expensive as buying some better kit anyway!!
  8. I just treated myself to some new RAM and a CPU. Upgrading from a R7 3800x to a 5700X3D and getting 32 GB of 3600MHZ ddr4 ram. Will be my final upgrade before AM6 systems launch in however many years
  9. Of those three, the third option with the GTX 1050ti is probably the best option. But even then, some modern titles that system won't be able to play as it won't meet minimum system requirements. Most modern games require a 1060 or 1070 as the minimum. That said, there is a guy in YouTube called lowspec gamer who has videos on how to make modern games run on potato rigs. Which is basically what those 3 systems are unfortunately... But they are cheap! For those prices your better off with a PS5 or XBOX
  10. Ahh nuts. I was looking forward to another middle aged PC gamer to join the ranks
  11. Also depending on your relationship with alcohol I'd go to a pub. There are some pretty old ones in Soho/Trafalgar Square area and it's socially acceptable to drink from about 10.30am onwards in the UK. I used to frequent The French House, The Toucan, the John Snow, and the Red Lion. All around Soho/Piccadilly/carnaby st. You might see some famous faces around there sometimes as it's near alot of film production and post production houses and still close to any tube station that can link you back to Heathrow. I've not used the new Elizabeth line but I hear it's quick. Before that it takes about 40-45 mins on the Piccadilly to get to and from Heathrow to the center of London
  12. There is nothing really around Heathrow of any interest, but Id take a tube into Piccadilly Circus and boom your in the center of London, a short walk to Trafalgar square, national gallery all that stuff. Plenty of places to grab some food around there. 19 hours is enough time to see a few sights but not a heck of a lot
  13. Sopranos was legit amazing, hard disagree about sons of anarchy though
  14. I only watched S01 and it was (and still is) one of the greatest bits of television ever. Its better than the Wire. Watched an episode of S02 and saw they done fucked it up. Never watched another till this Night Country season. I liked the first episode, and the atmosphere of the whole season. But I felt like the plot was just treading water the whole time and literally nothing happend until the final episode where everything happens and they shat the bed so to speak.
  15. What a narrative cluster fuck. Seriously, I watched this with my wife and we were laughing at the end at how bad it was. It felt like it was written by kids who are doing imaginative role play and making it up as they go along...("but then this happens" "nah but I had a secret weapon and that protects me plus one" etc..) Jodie Foster has some acting chops, but neither her skill or the nice cinematography can save this dumpster self-immolation
  16. Are you wanting to build it or buy a premade rig?
  17. Unfortunately those references are lost on me
  18. Probably already listed but the supermodel hot looking nerdgirl/scientist/forensics clerk who has no idea she looks like a supermodel and is socially.... I wanna say the R word but I can't use it.. so *awkward* will have to do
  19. I reckon Jimi Hendrix did the definitive version of the Star Spangled Banner. That should be the anthem, complete with screaming feedback, divebombs et al
  20. Oh I forgot, whenever there is a hurricane in Florida or some crazy category 5 disaster I usually get on the'Tube and find some storm chaser like accounts. (Sometimes periscope is better for that, maybe I'll try twitch). Other people's misery as entertainment and all that...well, it's more being witness to crazy weather phenomenons that I like. I don't like watching real war videos or streams. That's kind of fucked. Twisters and hurricanes are ok though.
  21. Gaming wise, I watch AngryJoe (sometimes for the lolz but hes pretty obnoxious) RPG Division CohhCarnage Apollo Speaks (for VTM lore and such) LegacyKilla (awful name) for gaming news and general industry gossip. For TTRPG actual plays I watch Roll4It specifically their VTM series with the PodByNight crew. RedMoonRoleplaying Other stuff.. Jays2Cents for computer building stuff. MorePlatesMoreDates for nerdy breakdowns of performance enhancing drugs, physical and hormonal health, weightlifting stuff and the odd Trenbolone horror story. But I'll admit most the stuff I watch on YouTube is trash. I watch lots of live music as well. Mostly metal bands, but a lot of other guitar based stuff really. KPXP is great for studio quality sound, mostly rock/psych/indie/punk on their channel.
  22. That template comes from gaming, and it's usually used to measue the power of a class build in RPGs. The colours are for effectiveness, the more powerful the more hot the colour, and everything in the red is the best cause it smokes everything else. I mean, it also places S tier above A tier cause S is for Sigma, bro. Colour is the least annoying thing about these ranking boards
  23. Outdoors is fine, and I'm aware I'm pedantic
  24. Hygene for one. When it comes to cainines they will almost without fail spend the time staring at the people eating trying to beg for food, sitting under your feet or generally try to somehow leverage themselves up the pecking order. And in public spaces there is always a dog or too that either whines yelps or barks at the other dogs while your just trying to eat or work without nuisance. Also, as a staff member I am always on high alert checking to make sure all the dogs are well behaved as we have young kids everywhere, and I shouldn't have to do that shit. But the other week a guy had his hands severely bitten by his own dogs and I had to deal with that too. They're just an added complication in hospitality that shouldn't be an expectation. In my view they belong outside, or inside in their own homes. Not in coffee shops/eateries. Having said that, I quite like a pub dog which seems like a weird distinction to make, but dogs are way less of a problem for some reason with people just drinking. Obviously depending on the dog. But there is also way less toddlers running around in pubs, and much fewer dogs in pubs too. But in the cafe I work at, there can be as many as 5 or 6 different dogs kicking about at any given time and it can be a nuisance
  25. My wife loves watching Scandinavian murder mystery thriller dramas. They all seem to have the same tropes which tickles me and she laughs about: A divorced, hard drinking, living in semi-squalor, senior detective who's addicted to the job but also absolutely brilliant, solving a series of grisly murders of beautiful women in a remote frontier town in rural Scandinavia with huge forests, mountains, snow, and sleek modern Volvo's. A ridiculously good looking female boss with high cheekbones, an amazing house with a bangin' kitchen island. (It will be used for banging on at least once in the show). Every interior has impeccable modern interior design. There is always an affair or illicit sexual relationship. The murderer is almost never the creepy weird guy with the psychological issues in the town the show tries to set up as the red herring. The show is always shot low saturation with a blue/grey/green colour grade to emphasize COLD and alpine. Sometimes she watches french versions of these shows. In this case switch out modern interior design with cozy homes with lots of bottles of wine, food and eclectic tastes in furniture. The protagonist smokes. There are more cobbled side roads and old 1970s and 80s Renault cars and Citroen painter vans parked on the set. Slightly less alpine and mountainous but there's way more sex. Otherwise it's the same show.
