@andyn I'm grabbing Bodycam at midnight to try 👀

pauls,
@pauls@social.lol avatar

@andyn Refunded Bodycam, graphics and sound good but I don't think that style is fun to play, it felt hard work and annoying to move and aim down sight and get your shot off
I should've tried turning FSR3 off and lowering settings to see if it felt more responsive but anyway, glad I tried it

pauls,
@pauls@social.lol avatar

@andyn I turned all the camera shake and other stuff off but it still sways and feels like forever to ADS and take a shot. It's a great showcase for Unreal Engine 5 and the rag doll physics are amazing, we just need all this in a better game

Another 20GB Call of Duty patch, in fire it up and it tells me it has to restart again. How have they not fixed that after so many years?!

pauls,
@pauls@social.lol avatar

@matt @andyn also lost count of the number of times my mates would have to verify the install to fix a problem and have to download the whole game again to fix it

Knee recovery was going well from 8w ago, the knee feels pretty good but I've had to cut back all the work I was doing by 50% due to fluid above the knee and also an MRI scan on my spine as I've got nerve pain down the leg.

Today threw a new curveball at me, waking up to an unpleasant pain in my big toe on the opposite leg which gradually got more painful as the day progressed, called 111 and went to Urgent Care, diagnosed Gout and now using the operated leg to keep weight off the foot! 🤬

@andyn Thanks, will somehow get there eventually!

I was going to paddle into town today to buy coffee, but the weather is awful... then I discovered that Nero will send beans via Deliveroo, so I've ordered that and a fresh coffee + vegan cookie.

Free delivery, £1.60 service charge... cheaper than the car park fee + better than taking 90 mins out of my day and getting soaked in the rain 😅

pauls,

@andycarolan now I may not be vegan but that looks a damn fine cookie!

Slowly catching up.

I love this show so much.

@robb think I enjoyed season 3 the most

@matt@isfeeling.social avatar

Had this one queued for Monday, but figured I may as well release it since it's not out for everyone yet: first look at ChatGPT's Mac app.

@matt quite impressed with that, all the butter smooth zooms work really well, enjoyed it thanks.

@robb OMFG found in a garage shop not far from me @johnvoorhees

@robb @johnvoorhees when the wife starts asking why all my journeys go via this garage and why I'm now paying more for fuel 😂

@andyn sad episode but some genuinely funny moments this season. We are up to episode 7

Would it be dumb to buy/ask for an iPad Mini right now? 🤔 I’ve been thinking about adding it to my birthday wishlist.

@philomath @andycarolan is this of use? https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/refurbished/ipad/ipad-mini-6

Feels a shame to throw this out, but I’ve nothing I can plug it into any more.

I probably only used it a couple of times 🤔

pauls,
@pauls@social.lol avatar

@andycarolan think I've still got one sat in a drawer somewhere too!

If you are on Ivory’s TestFlight, you should be able to try out our brand new share sheet on iOS and Mac. It's not perfect, but should be a huge improvement! Give it a try and let us know what you think.

You can access it by going to a page in your browser (or an image in your photo library), hitting the share icon, and then choosing Ivory's icon from the list.

@ivory thanks guys, I've been playing around with it - is it possible to have it autocomplete/search usernames if I @ someone?

So, I've finally moved from Three UK to EE. The service from Three used to be amazing, but for whatever reason, in the past 1-2 years, it's been bad... At least in my area.

pauls,
@pauls@social.lol avatar

@habibcham @andycarolan I was paying about £17pm on Three originally for unlimited everything which includes streaming Apple Music etc. It's slowly increased to about £22pm these days but I think that's pretty reasonable considering I've been with them on this plan for quite some time now

pauls,
@pauls@social.lol avatar

@andycarolan @habibcham I may have a look to see what cheaper tariffs are available and also look at what EE are offering. No harm in switching as long as I've got a signal at home for emergencies. Vodafone and O2 we used to have 1 bar if we were lucky in our house.
Probably improved you'd hope.
New antenna up on our estate means I get 5G on my iPhone that's faster than most people's broadband
