Some more Elden Ring. This area reminds me of Bloodborne.

For my phone it’s just iCloud. For my PC, there’s a few processes: Local backups - I run robocopy scripts every month or so to backup to my 2nd PC. Then every so often I run scripts to back everything up to external drives I mount in a dock. All data is therefore on 3 separate “disks”. Cloud...

I wish. I'm sitting in my house here on the NSW South Coast and it's 14C inside at the moment.

Agreed. I like to hide my cabling horrors at the back, not put them on display.

Started playing today.

I'm not so lucky on the ping in my part of the world...

@stinger608 I've logged onto the UT2004 TPU CTF server and all seems well. It took AGES to download the assets for whatever reason, but once that loaded it's been fine. Separately, after dusting off my original discs and installing the game, I created a readme for my own purposes which pulls...

So while I was searching for the current state of play with UT99, I came across https://oldunreal.com/ It appears this community and Epic came to an agreement so OldUnreal can maintain patching going forward. I just downloaded and applied their latest 469b patch for UT99 and it fixes a lot of...

Well I'm in Australia, but I doubt I'm going to win that vote. ;)
