Pft, i wouldnt say "quite warm". I'm still wearing a jacket and I swear I saw someone in a scarf a week or so ago when it dropped to 15c for a few days..... Maybe just Warm for UK. Need to fly you to Spain when it hits 30c

yes take me to the good basking rock i require nutrients and energy from the sun .... and yeah i definitely only meant by uk standards haha, but i’m still hearing comments every day about how its so hot, we always have the doors open at work and one of my coworkers has the fan on full blast pointed at her at all times so ? ? ? i dunno man

the temperature drop the other week was totally wild, nobody knew what to do at all??? i was seeing people in full on winter coats and other people who refused to give up on the concept of summer and were still wandering about in tank tops and shorts, why are we as a nation so completely useless at dealing with any form of weather at all

Aww, the plight of living in a cold place... I'm sorry you cant wear shorts/t-shirt ... That's a real shame. But good on you for getting the confidence! :D 

thanks!! shorts is a whole other hurdle to approach but it never gets warm enough here for me to feel the need to wear them ... 8) one day though!!

O yea, for a laptop its not a bad card at all. I dont know how easy it is to replace laptop graphics cards, unfortunately. You'd have to look up your make/ model and see if anyone else has done it, but i'm not even sure if its possible to buy the chips on their own. They said they were going to release the specs maybe this month, but im personally expecting them to be somewhere around dishonored 2s.

I’ve never played any of the dishonoured games, but dishonoured 2 LOOKS real fancy, and that’s how i rate all my video game specs. If it looks fancy, it must be fancy and therefore...i want it...

As for replacing laptop graphics cards...i kind of...just thought i could ask the people in the computer technology store place to do it...oh my god i am so bad with all things technological. I am the technological antichrist, the tv stops working whenever i walk past, my flat mate’s car’s bluetooth stopped working for months when i tried to use it, her phone shit its pants when she handed it to me to look at something. I need to retire honestly. 

Thanks for the help with this :) It’s given me a much better perspective c:

“So I was just looking up the requirements for mass effect andromeda,...”

An initial Google says its not as good. It helps to understand nvidias naming conventions. The first number is the generation (so 6 and 7 gen). Then the next 2 numbers are, effectively, how powerful. Anything sub 50 is kind of the not-hardcore-gamer stuff (gt series). They're cheaper, but have the performance of a generation or 2 agos gtx. The gtx series are 50+, and theyre the best 2 or 3 cards money can buy at the point of release. Higher number = better.

The M is a mobile one, which you see in laptops. I think their performance isn't as good as a full sized card? I might be remembering wrong. It's highly possible it'll be enough to run me:a, but at the same time if it can render in 4k I'm expecting it to be high. Someone mentioned about engine, and that isn't as important as how many polygons are on screen, as well as special effects.

Ah ok, i see. This graphics card is just the one that came with my computer when i first bought it about 4 years ago, and i think for a laptop it was a pretty good initial card? Maybe? I know nothing.

Would you strongly recommend getting more powerful graphics card? I’m less bothered with graphics than I am with fps and lagging

Are u on PC or have u just linked PS4 to a battlenet account for ur sitting tracer? ):

i got it on pc sorry :( i unlocked more cool stuff there and didn’t know you could import stuff apparently ... ? also i like having the chatbox :V

only downside is that apparently nobody on pc likes waving to the other team before the door opens which is very rude imho and i am going to continue my campaign of being aggressively friendly

ono oh no. Is ur roof going to be okay? Have you discovered any strange forgotten arts??

it should be okay, its not the /roof/ roof luckily :V i think its just the sealant between the plastic of the conservatory roof and the brick of the house has come away, so the rains dripping down onto all the junk we have stored in boxes out there. we’ve cleared out anything important/not in a sealed box from the drip zone for now at least.

nothing too strange i’m afraid, mostly just a whole lot of 3/4 view busts facing left from 2008-9 8)

I don't know what's weirder, the fact she looked at it and went "for boys" or that she cares THAT much about needless gendering and forgot that needless gendering says boys can't wear dresses at all

Wait, if a blue dress is too masculine for a girl toddler, who SHOULD wear the blue dress, according to her? Boy toddlers?

I think she was just operating under the rules that all little girls must wear pink frilly flowers and ribbons and anything else is clearly unsuitable. she was just unnecessarily aggressive about it and managed to imply it was a boys dress by accident i guess?

either that or i suppose i have unlocked the Forbidden Garments
