    Not a day goes past where I don't think about how I couldn't hold any position of broad power or influence due to the sound boards you guys got on me.
    I work in the same company as the one I did when I left in OB but just in a different role, I'll jump on tommorow night if you lads are about for a catchup. 
    If you're talking about the fights on sat/Sun night I'm down for it tho, would be fun.

    Rory reacted to M1nt-l0u in I didn't really do a lot   
    After years of slating everyone who ever dared to run and pay for this place, I promised I would step up and be the admin/part owner that would change things. When we had the team reshuffle sometime last year there was some initial excitement, and a few events and Mordhau servers did pop up... After that, it kind of just died out. Outbreak in truth, was past the point of the golden days of fun and games many moons ago, and I wrongly believed I was the one who could rekindle that wistful occasion. 
    I'm not saying that there isn't a future for Outbreak, but I'm saying there isn't a future in which we'd all be active in the same spirit ever again. The forums were a hot place to visit, the game servers were where we put a voice to the coloured name, and the TeamSpeak (initially not used) was where the friendships were fortified. The friendships are the only thing that have kept us all together, many so strong that they will last a lifetime. It is very hard for a new person to become part of either of the core groups, not impossible though.
    The CS server days were a period where everyone was a bit anonymous, no one really knew anyone other than what their Steam status revealed. It sparked curiosity without too much of the prejudices, it was a more compassionate introduction to each other. The paradigm for meeting new players has shifted a lot since then, it's mainly driven by Discord and Reddit communities rather than self-hosted game and VoIP servers. This is a change we didn't want to embrace.
    For better or worse, Outbreak has now been going for nearly ten years. I do sometimes wonder what my life would be without it, but happier that I have had the chance to be bullied all the way to the top and back - even if when I got there I did very little in the grand scheme of things. For those that don't know, I have worked in IT for around 4 years, and 3 of them were working at a company that didn't appreciate anything I did and it made me quite irritable. I then joined another IT company and was much happier, but also much busier as I made the jump from working in an internal IT department to a customer facing one - having to learn multiple IT environments instead of perfecting just the one. I've been absorbing the knowledge of the industry pretty intensely for the last year or so, which is partly why I don't game so much anymore - but I shouldn't have let my relationship with Conor and the rest of the team slip so much I get removed from the Admin team without warning. 
    Sometimes life gets in the way.
    I hope all you frequent and infrequent visitors are still keeping well, and that the choices you are making lead to ample gratification and reward.

    You don't understand how someone likes X instead of Y despite them having very few comparitives other than a big time investment? I don't know what to tell you other than it's an opinion.
    I played WoW when Vanilla was at its peak well through to MoP and for me WOTLK hits that sweet spot of story, quality of life features being fleshed out and just enough and time investment required for satisfaction. 
    Vanilla has not aged well for me and that's what it comes down to, are you even old enough to remember playing it?

    Rory reacted to M1nt-l0u in Why you should consider AMD's RYZEN CPU for your next build - PART 3   
    To finalise my yearly updates: 
    AMD is releasing their new 3rd gen, Zen 2 CPUs on July 7th.
    The bit you need to know: Rumour has it they are faster on single core performance than Intel (previously Intel stuff has ALWAYS won here), faster on multi-core  (AMD Ryzen usually wins here) AND they are going to be cheaper than the Intel counterpart. 
    If all the above is true, there is no reason you'd buy an Intel CPU other than you don't wanna fork out on a new motherboard. And if you still want to be an Intel fanboy you bet they'll be dropping prices around the end of July to compete. Good for customers.
    RAM has returned to normal pricing - in my head that's been £40 for 8GB SSDs are ludicrously cheap - 120GB SSD a year ago would have been around £70, they are now ~£20 GPUs have come down in price because Bitcoin died off If you are thinking of building a new PC, July/August is the best opportunity for the last 5 years to do it!
    I've been following Ryzen from day one, and we're about to see the results of AMD's efforts. Support them to keep the CPU market competitive.
