The TPU UK Clubhouse

Some of the audio is nigh impossible to recreate at home though. I suspect the audio is tweaked in the digital/home release so as not to nuke everyone's home speakers lol.

Good example is the docking scene and waves planet in Interstellar; the bass from the organ you can feel reverberating through your body when you watch it in the theatre - it works fantastically for building tension. None of the digital content I've seen has sounded right on any audio setup I have, regardless of how loud I play it.

I have a cousin that lives near Wolverhampton, and he has a sound system that rivals movie theaters. He is very rich, his side of the family line never moved to the America's, so they just inherited generational wealth over the centuries. I remember hearing it for the first time and being floored, his wife yelled at him to turn it down I remember, lmao --- but in general sense for most peoples budgets yes i agree with you

I got into a little trouble at my last job before retirement that was based in Birmingham, our offices were on the top floor, I took the lift down one day for a quick vape outside, my mobile rang whilst in the lift, at the time I had a machine gun ringtone, I saw a lot off nervous looking people in the foyer as I came out the lift, apparently some made a complaint to Building services, suffice to say I changed the ringtone to something a little less harmful.

Should have had that Nintendo ringtone from the movie K-9 with Jim Belushi. I think there was this scene near the end of the movie when he was trying to save his girlfriend and he used this little handheld 'game' that made a digital ticking sound before some evil laugh would come out if you used up all your lives in the game. But the point was, he was bluffing and pretending it was a detonation switch to a bomb and he would blow all of them up if the guy didnt hand over his girl who was being held hostage at gun point.

And great, I found a small clip of it. Not that particular scene but of the mario game....

My fellow Brit-nerds.

The market is madness at the moment people wanted silly money for old cards.

Want a card for my son to be able to play Minecraft without frame drops at 1080p

So something around an hd 7850 level or higher.

But only want to spend 30-50… PM me if you have anything laying about.

Love you all xoxo

My dad's old PC has a an Asus 470(?). Well, I think it is - I built it. He's not around anymore so I'd be happy for someone to game on in his memory. I can strip it out if you'd like. You can have it for postage costs.

Im sorry for your loss.

It was a while ago, 2019. PC's been lying unused since.

May he rest he peace.

That would be lovely thank you man.

It's his very first pc, he just plays Xbox at his mum's but my step children all are PC gamers and play Minecraft together, he's been using my laptop but I've set him up his own little rig next to my stepsons.

I5 2500 and 16gb of ram, may have to upgrade the PSU for your 470 but they still seem to be reasonably priced.

Im going to be shameless and ask if there was any other good loot inside that box? Maybe there might me something my dad could use.

(you were saying you were going to part it out anyway -- IF youre going to part it out that is)

Just a devils canyon 4970, I think. And an old 120 AIO water cooler.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

My dad could use that but I wouldn't want to take that off your hands. At least not for free

For the first time since leaving secondary school. I decided to try my hand at baking....

Picture is before it went in the oven -- and im still alive.




Baked:



Unfortunately this also means that i have inadvertently thrown down the gauntlet and are now in direct competition with my sister who has a degree in food nutrition/science and has been baking since early secondary school -- because thats just how Asian parents do.

::Edit::

More food porn



Sadly not all made the cut

I have a friend whose system was RTB'd (yes i built it...) and it turns out his R290 has kicked the bucket. Anyone got anything half decent spare? Even 2060s are being sold for over £400 right now and they arent even good ones.

can anyone hook a brother up?

Hi guys, not to be a damp squib (whatever the hell that is) but please keep all B/S/T & Giveaway stuff to the appropriate threads, or go straight to PM. We've had 'comments' in the past that the UK Club seems to ignore the rules on these things. And to be fair, it sort of does (which it shouldn't).

So, if someone pops in here and says they need something, go straight to PM to reply.

This is the actual sub-forum for that: The Buy, Sell, Trade & Giveaway Forum

Thanks.

Not sure if any of you guys have seen this channel, but this older British guy gives tours of RV's and Yacht's. I really like his style and pacing of the videos, just thought I'd share, I been binge watching them lately, since I know I will never be rich enough to buy one lol

I have been dying of hayfever for the last two days.

 

[Tatty_Two]

I used to have Hayfever real bad, to the point where I had to go to the docs every Saturday for an injection after having some extensive tests to identify what I was specifically allergic to, turns out it was one type of grass and tree bark, fortunately I grew out of it by 18, if you guys are are still suffering with it and living in towns/cities where I would have thought it would be much milder then that can't be good.

I get hayfever a lot but only very very occasionally is it really really bad and yesterday it was pretty bad and but the day before not so much. I tend to just man up and deal with it until it gets to a point where i have snot dropping out my nose and i cant stop sneezing.

By the time it was pretty bad, It was already fairly late in the day and i had arrived home from my exercise lap so there was no need to pop any pills. I also got some beconase spray too.
