Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@Anti-Matter welcome pal. I can't answer the question unfortunately. I'm sure someone will know.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic My role model is Bart Simpson unfortunately in recent times I'm much more like Homer circa 1993.

@Th3solution Couldn't have put it better myself, thanks for the summary!

I have also been trying to learn Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring (Introduction) on guitar, I have learned the first part already, great piece of composition by the man himself.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Wow, you are quite the Renaissance individual. I’m impressed!
I took guitar lessons once and let’s just say... the instructor wept when I played. But not because it was beautiful, rather because it made his ears bleed from the trauma. I decided to stick to Guitar Hero.

@Th3solution Do you play acoustic?

@Thrillho LOL! I don’t think I’m that good.

@Thrillho @Th3solution @Draco_V_Ecliptic I am fantastic on the tambourine. We should start a band. The Push Squares. On a serious note I took the base of the Indian Jones theme and used it on my last track in Dreams, you would never know but the key parts are in the same key.

On a different note I accidentally purchased The Civ 6 DLC on the store thinking it was the full game. Downloaded it and it was at that point I realised.. Shoot I don't have the game.

@Jaz007 Sony have refunded me!!!! They also posted me an email back as thanks for ongoing support!!! Legendary. So yes I will be sticking by for PS5 they passed the test with flying colours.

I bought RoundGaurd as reviewed by @Quintumply recently and it is a brilliant variation on Peggle.

Hopefully I can support another indie depending on the April sale games.

@themcnoisy I mean, you should just buy the full game and DLC as Civ 6 is pretty great and a good way to lose a few hours of your life in the current climate.

Fingers crossed for you in the sale from tomorrow

@Th3solution Haha, yeah I like to think so. I'm thinking about becoming a Game Designer, so the more education - the better. I have some video game scripts in the can and I'm learning about programming with the help of a 'for dummies' book on the subject.

I love the fact that it is the ultimate art form, an interactive work of art that your audience can enjoy.
Plus, I was into video games before I got into music and started playing in bands, now, as an adult, things to have come full circle, I'm playing games again and taking an active interest in creating them.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I decided to do the ‘smart’ thing and go for a general Software Engineering degree instead of one in Game Design. Way I see it, the industry’s so volatile that I’d rather have more than one career as a backup and most companies would actually prefer a rounder education of general programming and theory. I bloody hate C though, it’s annoying, Java is where it’s at.

@Thrillho I rewarded myself £35 for games this month. Unfortunately with the furlough wage cap I'm a bit screwed for cash and need to take step back. Paying the £25 for dlc and £45 for the game will double my budget!

Hopefully all being well, no surprise bills (my virgin went from £54 to £87!!! Which I have had to change), and if we manage our money we'll, depending on the LockDown will add a full price game, most likely the ff7 remake.

for those interested the FF7 remake tropy list has been revealed.

54 trophies in total.

@jdv95
Probably a whole lot of spoilers in the trophy descriptions, best avoided I reckon.

@LieutenantFatman yeah i think so aswell.

all i saw was some mini game and combat related trophies.

i did not look at the story releated ones.

But wait... how different is the story? Isn’t having played the original FF7 a spoiler? 😜

@Th3solution
I'm expecting they've changed quite a bit. Hopefully mostly for the better!

Has anyone else noticed the almost daily new threads asking for help with some issue or another

Always by a person with no avatar and quite often a new account

I think they are all the same person who either genuinely has a badly broken PS4 or is just messing around

Although if it is and their PS4 is badly damaged then asking here wont help, we aint console developers or engineers and there is nothing wecan say that they can't find in a Google search or by asking Sony Support

Anyway it's getting pretty annoying, is it annoying anyone else?

@Th3solution same basic plot but hugly expanded with new areas, new story segments and new characters

It is for want of better words a completely new game retelling an old story

@FullbringIchigo Yep, so this. It is probably down to more people being in isolation and the playstation forums closing down. I mean most of the issues can be solved by doing a quick Google or contacting PS support. If I was in a similar position creating a new account on a forum and asking a question would probably be one of the last things I do.
