I love my Ikea Fredde (https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/fredde-gaming-desk-black-50219044/) It's super robust and has bags of room for me to work/play/hobby. You'd struggle to fit three 28" on it, though.

Walter Koenig, actor best known as Chekov on Star Trek, dies aged 90

Yeah, JMS wrote the role for Koenig. Nobody else auditioned and he was so perfect for it. -

A sad loss. For me (and probably @Boredguy and @BKGarry), he'll be remembered as Alfred Bester, Babylon 5's iconic Psy Cop Villain. -
That's an awesome tank line-up!

Thoroughly enjoying this. Feels like a Lovecraftian tale despite being fairly grounded.

The Wildlife (and Gardening for Wildlife) thread

That is super cool! -
Ha! I might get asked why I'm ordering random RTX Cards when we already have some bonkers cards that are so powerful they come with export controls!

There's some genuinely brilliant stuff up for grabs. But sadly, Rand's Heron-marked sword is already at £5.5k, with nearly two weeks still to go!

I'm interested to see what happens with this. By all accounts, it's a full reboot, though. No reference to the SG1 Universe, which is a real shame.

We can't do the migration for you, but we've got the best range of servers in the business! Given the frankly insane prices of new kit, we're seeing dozens of schools buying two or three rack servers from us and taking a five-year warranty. Happy to chat through some hardware options if you want? We've got everything from standard 1U racks to high-performance computing beasts with up to 8 NVIDIA Machine Learning GPUs.

I lost a significant portion of my weekend to Stellaris - again! I should know better. I just popped it on for the first time in a year or so, "just to see how the recent updates were affecting things." Before I knew it, I had tweaked my xenophile human faction and set my science ship exploring the local neighbourhood. 23 hours and two crises later, humanity is a psychic hive-mind and both the galaxy's protector for fighting off the emergence of The Contingency, and its greatest threat, as my experiments with the psychic sub-dimension threaten the invasion of extraplanar entities! Marvellous! I think it might be my favourite strategy game of all time.

See, I LOVE the remake! It played flawlessly for me. It looks like the game I imagined I was playing when I first put the disc in the OG Xbox and played through the campaign on a 14" CRT into the wee hours of Christmas night more than two decades ago! It tweaked the mechanics in sensible ways, kept most things the same, and the changes made to the levels were sensible. Would I have liked a multiplayer option aside from co-op? Yes, but I'll wait for the remake of Halo 2 for that. It was always the better multiplayer option.

Did they not already release a remaster for this? Or a hefty graphics update at least.

Nice! Glad you've found some more inspiration to get started!
