    Desktop PC tips for Planet Coaster?

    I'm getting lows of 20FPS and highs of 35FPS - depending how much is on screen at the time. It's worth noting that I play it in 720. So I do get a frame rate hit which I've overcome by reducing the resolution. Only the biggest revolution in gaming :D It's true lighting, where individual rays...

    Desktop PC tips for Planet Coaster?

    It'll be your GFX card. I run a very similar spec to you, only I have a 980TI. I struggle a little with the game, but it's entirely playable. I did some comparison checks against our cards, and the 980TI runs about 150% faster than the 1050TI. So, that will be where I make the gains over your...

    LWV confirm removal of several rides

    Personally, I think this is the beginning of the end. If you look at the "family" market, there's a very clear way that parks like that survive. I think Paultons is an excellent example of the way it should be approached, Drayton a warning and LWV how not to do it. Paultons started as a small...

    The TV we watch...

    Unlike Dave, I seem to have slipped into becoming a Marvel geek by accident. I've read the majority of the main comics now (the important stories), so know a lot about Vision and Scarlet Witch's relationship and how it all pans out. The films have generally taken the highlights of the comics...

    Fantastic old coaster footage/pics

    That would be pretty difficult to do easily. Personally, I'd look at one of the sites that has date information - RCDB would be my first stop - and then go to the usual suspects. I'd look at opening and closing dates for coasters in those parks and just see if anything jumped out. I'd say that...

    Do you think GCSE and A Level exams should go ahead in 2021?

    I mentioned something along those lines in the Bad News Topic yesterday. The problem is simply that there isn't a set of compulsory rules for all schools. Just a vague set of guidelines that schools don't have to adhere to. Maxi-Minor_Furie's school enforces wearing of masks and social...

    Do you think GCSE and A Level exams should go ahead in 2021?

    I think that the government (even though this idea would be hard to plan out, we've done a lot of impossible things over the last 12 months ;) ) missed an opportunity to "reset" the year. Hold everyone back a year and allow them to resit. We'd have an entire generation of school leavers who...

    Your Top 10 Movies.

    Never even heard of it. Not sure I'm going to be hunting it down either. I like a bad film, but there are limits ;) What? NO! I'll have to buy it now to see. Not a bad thing. Nah, it's one of those films I know either appeals or doesn't. I don't think it's as cut and dried as marmite, but...

    Your Top 10 Movies.

    I think it's a superb film - good call. Have you ever read the novel? I did a few months ago, and it's the only book that's ever really caused me issues in terms of horror (and I've read a lot of horror). It's a novel that's kind of worth experiencing, but I honestly can't actually recommend...

    Your Top 10 Movies.

    I realised last night my list has a glaring omission - Sean of the Dead. I love Spaced and Sean of the Dead mixes the best of Spaced with my favourite zombie flick. It's hilarious, poignant and exceptionally quotable, always worth watching - I need a top 11 now :D @Serena - I agree with your...

    What is the most surprising airtime moment you’ve experienced in your enthusiast career?

    For me, this is really difficult because with experience, you just know where to expect it - from looking at the layout before, or simply as you come into an element. It's very rare to get an airtime shock. I guess that's why this topic is important :) Oh yes. I was expecting "Big One Bland"...

    Your Top 10 Movies.

    I was going to say "I can't believe I've never posted in here" - then realised how difficult it is :) About 10 or 15 years ago, I started a quest to go through the top 500 films on IMDB. I'd seen about half anyway, but used LoveFilm (remember them? :) ) to get me caught up. I think I've seen...

    Your Favourite Ever CF Lives

    Any time, young man! ;) I was still pretty young when I started all of this. I was only 8, but I aged to rapidly after meeting everyone... :D I was 31 when I started on the forums and 32 when I attended my first CF-Live. I was definitely the old fart of the site at that point (actually, there...

    Your Favourite Ever CF Lives

    I realised that I didn't actally answer Howie's question/discussion (but neither has anyone else, so I'm not feeling too bad) - How do they rank? So, I went through old pages, trip reports, photos, etc. I've got a kind of idea now. I count 33 CF-Lives over 15 years. I know people who have done...

    Your Favourite Ever CF Lives

    Definitely was - I remember it clearly :) Nobody belived me - the bastards! So, my first live was a Thrills'n'Chills - early open Blackpool back in 2005. Pretty unremarkable, but I had no idea what to expect. It's so daunting just turning up into a big group of people and trying to "get...

    Your Favourite Ever CF Lives

    It's not a cowboy hat, but that would have been me :) I still have a video in the making of that Live... I'm getting worse than Slade! Too many great memories. I think Yorkshire Tripper really stands out for me. That was kind of the height of CF-Lives for me. Perfect weather, the right goons...

    How do I get more points on CF?

    The point system is built in, so it's possible to still earn them. They're now only for things like hitting post milestones and numbers of likes, etc. The bit that is turned off is for the mods. So the wordsearch and a few others. Also the ability to spend points, but nobody used that anyway...

    Phones

    I've kind of been involved in advising on this kind of stuff for a few years (erm, about 15) - so what I've learned in that time... Ecosystem Android or iOS. However, swapping ecosystems is very hard for people. It's more than just investment in apps, it's a completely different way of using...
