Goddamnit VP! just cost me £20!

At least I could have trusted Vega Squadron like I felt to do.

Anyway if you are interested, there’s an interesting documentary on the McLaren factory on YouTube

edit: this I watched

Dang!! Can you believe it when I say that I had the idea of a car-factory theme yesterday?!!

I guess I’ve seen a few car reviews recently and with all the electric car business going on I was like “bomb scenario where industrial espionage/terrorists hit an electric car factory to keep the old business going — the ‘Professional’ Ts faction would be perfect”

and was trying to come up with a possible name — of course I don’t have a layout idea yet

I don’t support any team, I only started following the pro scene last year. I also can’t really follow live events, I mostly watch re-runs.

I place a couple bets here and there with Betway.

I guess I have a sympathy for Vega Squadron because the way they started this tournament, but I really only watch for the love of the game, interested in seeing how teams play and highlights.

I would imagine most people didn’t hear of this, despite there was an Hollywood remake as well.

Yeah always had a problem with quotes and always forgot to report.

Minor layout thing: as you can see in the picture, if text is too short, the layout of the suggested articles at bottom page fucks up on mobile; i guess it’s a missing clearfix element.

If I ever get the kind of money, I’ll call out to get my furniture

did you decide for the company name in the end? I remember you had a poll and everything

I liked it!

helped lighten the mood when my sister was having some problems andare had come over to talk with me.

Finished Bloodline which I did enjoy. It’s quite slow drama, especially in the first season, picks up more and more. Half of S3 was quite confusing, it definitely feels rushed to the end (was supposed to Ben 5-6 seasons while Netflix cancelled it a bit after signing up for S3). There’s a heavy hitter cast in there, I especially like Ben Mendelsohn (I mean I always like do his style and the way he talks).

What’s all this about what this writer idea was? I’m not coping to fact check it, but one episode credits an author as the screen fades to black, I would imagine it is the episode Pilkinton shared on that podcast.

Curious to see what they cook up.

In terms of action scenes hopefully they will not copy paste choreographies from the movies… giving each assassin a different style would be the best thing probably.

just started playing this. really good so far. Levels set out really well and the art is gorgeous!

I still have to play the first! (I started it and did the prelude, but for some reason I wasn’t too into it at the time - I started it on hard and it was actually a too hard game on that level)

Last night I got on the computer just in time for the last match of the day that was starting.

This Skadoodle clutch was hilarious

The way it works is you do everything on FACEIT, you play with 9 other individuals and you all vote on which server location and map you will use, and then the FACEIT hub spits out a server IP that you connect to. It's not something you can do on your own. It's like matchmaking in that you have to wait for 9 other users to agree to play. Our HUB will most likely only be busy during those days when we clearly specific that an event is going on, here or on Twitter.

It looked like there were other people in the hub, I assumed they were already playing and I was waiting for more to fill.

I was very puzzled by the competitive match that appeared, maybe a glitch? It appeared when I tried to select a different map group.

How is this hub thing supposed to work? Does it launch CS when a game is ready?

After 15 min I started CS, and after a game or two when I went out to change map group, I was prompted this:

The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available. The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

and would just never work. Since I was trying to play casual I guess I was queuing in Faceit? Why was giving an error all the time?

It's only casual fun but, dang it's annoying that whenever is needed, the nVidia experience doesn't work because has to update

This mini-series about Sharks is on Netflix, at least in the UK

The reality with our HUB is that we're going to need people to work really hard to prove that this idea is viable. We need people contributing to the growth of the HUBs, and working toward that goal. It's not going to happen if we all sit on the sidelines. We may reconfigure the HUBs to be a once-a-month thing if that's what it takes to have tent-pole events that lead to long term growth and engagement.

I intend to sit down and play, it’s a rare chance to try custom maps!

Jst when I posted was time to make dinner and now my gf and flat mate are watching Netflix so no way I can play, I get the (not so) occasional lag spikes in the morning on my own also had a headache starting to be very annoying…

Anybody playing tonight?

I just registered but is not a great moment to see if it all works. Also from what I understand and read in the chat seems like there's few people playing?

Just watched the last two with my other half. I'm not sure if it's the best season, I've seen a comment this afternoon on twitter regarding the "Americanization" of the show... it was definitely more digestible than previous and easier to watch, I haven't fully watched S3 because it was just all very depressing.

I guess that for editing and doing the brushwork, the only convenient alternative is Wall Worm, the developer of the 3DS plugin posts on here and has done contests as well.

I think to understand you can even use Source 2, at least to create props. There was a couple posts about it… I can’t remember the user but someone around here created models for TF2 with Source 2, if I remember correctly.
