I couldn't go back to membrane keyboard, I love my cherry mx switches. I wish I could do justice to the sound by describing it

A bit more off topic, I've been making a lot of mead lately

Gonna start on a 6th batch soon enough. Super pleased with myself, it's turning out to be really gorgeous stuff.

Saw some very sad news there that Total Biscuit's cancer has returned in the form of likely inoperable tumours appearing on his liver.

Just made this one, which is a ginger mead, I popped some fresh sliced ginger right in there. This is gonna be next year's winter warmer.

My very first mead was a christmas spiced one, started that back in June this year, now it's mellowing for a few months in the bottles to be popped open around Christmas time. Had one very special little bottle too, which I made an awesome little label for.

It's not too difficult to make, you just need time, and patience.

Can you wash the Razer mouse mats? My current one is covered in biscuits, ketchup, and random food and cider stains. Still has great grip, but looks messy!

The mousemat is outlived the mouse :pac:

cadete · 20-10-2015 06:47AM

I'm using a big mouse mat like 1m long and maybe 300wide was only cheap but really like it,
As for the keyboard managed to grab an orbweaver on eBay, just love it! Possibly couldn't do without!

Any recommendations for a mouse mat? Just picked up a MX Master, and while I love it, its showing up just how **** and tattered my current mat has become.

^ been thinking about a new mat myself. I have this cheap 1$ custom one, but kinda want to upgrade to something better at the moment. Also really toying with the idea of getting a mech keyboard again but don't want to spend more than 100.

I just bought a Logitech G440 mousemat. It's hard, not fabric and it's mahoosive but it's really nice.

One of my favourite things about PC gaming is deciding to trawl your emails, and finding keys for 56 games you had forgotten you've even bought. It's like buying gifts for yourself.

I can't even access BundleStars, which definitely holds another 15-20 keys.

Skerries · 21-10-2015 12:08PM

Groupees lets you know when a key has been released for Steam in the notification area which i like

Funnily enough, apparently glass cleaner cleans them up pretty well!!

Lads could anyone tell me if this is a Herman Miller chair and if so, what type it is? Thanks.

Incidentally I'm entertaining options for a chair if anyone knows of greatness.

As for mousemats Syco I just use a metal one I got from Best Buy (rocketfish in-house brand). Never needs much cleaning and the surface finish is very mouse appropriate.

Hah. They advertise it as affordable and then bam, half a grand for a single office chair. What the hell.

Whats so great about that chair?

Overheal · 25-10-2015 04:16PM

Has anyone been keeping up with this show Sword Art Online? I just started series 2 and it is deep and stuff.

Robert ninja · 25-10-2015 04:41PM

^ I was told to avoid it completely by someone I know who watched the whole thing. Saw a brief summary of it on a youtube anime critic channel I like which painted it in a neutral light with mostly positive tone.

Similar, I was told to avoid as well. It seems to have plenty of fans though.

Links234 · 25-10-2015 04:44PM

I've not gotten around to watching it yet, I've heard a lot of mixed things, so it's not exactly been top of my list. Haven't been watching a huge amount of anime lately, which is a bit of a pity. Last show I watched was Shiki, which was great.

Overheal · 26-10-2015 12:34AM

Kinda surprised SOA would have that critical response. The 2 major themes that might turn people away is 1) its pretty dark, especially the first few episodes, and also the first season is full of

overt romance and love triangles - and perviness

; but also 3) its really easy to get characters confused sometimes between their realworld person and their avatar(s). Beyond that its pretty thought provoking about the nature of virtual reality, and also explores human reasons for wanting to escape and such. In addition, really thoughtful storylines and characters (at least 1 major story arc that is right up there with The Laughing Man in Ghost in the Shell), good action including some moments that for me anyway, were genuinely intense.

Links234 · 26-10-2015 12:36AM

It seemed to me like something .hack//Sign had done years previous tbh

Overheal · 26-10-2015 01:07AM

Thats exactly why when I first tried to watch it I zoned out by the 4th episode. Also that one PS2 game it reminded me vaguely of - Dark Cloud? But I had a friend insist I give it another go, trying to parallel the production quality to that of fullmetal alchemist brotherhood (and it is superb). In other ways, especially the themes, it strongly reminds me of GITS:SOC. (it is not a .hack or Dark Cloud haha)

Overheal · 26-10-2015 05:03AM

Throwback - does anyone remember when you had to manually patch your video games?
