    Perpetual UK Politics thread

    I don't understand your point. I despise UKIP as much as the next London-based liberal metropolitan elitist*, but UKIP having zero MPs on 3.8 million votes while the SNP have 56 on slightly less than 1.5 million is thanks to our shitty electoral system, and not evidence for a general point about...

    On Russia's Involvement in the Politics of the US (and Other Nations)

    Literally no one said it was fine for America to do it, merely that it's a deflection. Don't shitpost.

    On Russia's Involvement in the Politics of the US (and Other Nations)

    More on-topic, I think this post raises an interesting question: If Russia has been interfering in US elections and agitating against the Democrats, how long has it been doing so?. The Republican party has traditionally been very hawkish on Russia so it's unlikely that Russia was actively trying...

    On Russia's Involvement in the Politics of the US (and Other Nations)

    Whataboutism is incredibly tedious to read. I don't know about you, but my mother taught me that two wrongs don't make a right. This thread is about Russian involvement in deliberately trying to subvert the politics of other nations. If you want to make another thread about how he was America is...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    I'm playing as Sara and not sure yet who i'll romance. Liam is too much of a bro, kinda guy i'd love to get beers with but nothing intimate. I've barely spent any time with Jaal so don't know, but not immediately thrilled by the idea. Keri is... there, I guess. I can't imagine dating a Turian...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Dude use spoiler tags for story stuff please, some of us haven't finished the game. Oh that's a shame, though not entirely surprising it didn't work out that well. At least you tried, for science!

    Pretty much what it says on the tin, turns your direct fire bullets into slower moving plasma balls which home in on enemies. I have no idea what that's going to do to a beam weapon, and i'm interested to hear the results :)

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Oh, another solution to the low ammo capacity thing I've seen in gif form: craft two identical weapons with vintage heat sinks, unload one, swap to the other and unload that one, and then swap back to the cooled down first weapon. Here's the gif using the Piranha shotgun.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    You mean with a vintage heat sink? That would certainly solve the low ammo capacity issue, particularly if you're controlled with burst fire. A quick google suggests you can increase clip and spare ammo size with ranks 4 & 5 of the Sniper Rifles passive too. Unfortunately i'm only about 10 hours...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    I'm a Raptor evangelist, as you can see from the way I've been rhapsodising about it in MP over the last few pages, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be equally good in SP. It's the best assault rifle in the game, despite being a sniper rifle. Good damage, accurate with burst fire at medium...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    I must say it is a relief to have a thread about this game in which my mild criticism is about as bad as it gets. Everywhere else on the internet it's a complete dumpster fire of negativity, mostly by people who haven't played the game and are basing it off the gifs or youtube supercuts which...

    Basic question about RAM probably asked a thousand times, but please help anyway!

    Thanks for the advice, i've cancelled my order. I'm only going to be using the PC for gaming and general use, nothing too intensive, I was just trying to make it so I didn't have to update it for quite a while, but as you say, 16gb will be more than enough for the next few years.

    The Collapsing Empire is rip-roaring space opera with a conscience

    Neil Asher is a Kipper? I've read a few of his books and am... somehow not that surprised. After a while I stopped after realised I was reading a series of novels about thoroughly unlikeable characters doing thoroughly unlikeable things in thoroughly unlikeable grimdark worlds.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    I think playing on PC is a much more stable and better looking experience than on the consoles by all reports (still found quite a few bugs mind), and unfortunately PC is the smallest part of the market so the general perception from the majority of players is of a technical mess. People are...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Considering how much of a shitstorm the bugs, wonky human faces, models and animation, and writing has already caused, I don't think it would even be on the radar for most people.

    Basic question about RAM probably asked a thousand times, but please help anyway!

    Hi, i've ordered a new gaming PC as my old one was getting a bit long in the tooth, and have basically gone a bit nuts spending money I don't have to, and would like your advice on whether to return an addition I just ordered of another 2x8gb sticks of the same RAM to bring it up to 32gb of RAM...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Infiltrators got 20% time dilation from their passives and you could get another 30ish% from the Concentration mod, which as you say you can add to any sniper rifle. As Tijger says time dilation has been removed from MEA, presumably so that sniping in SP and MP match up, as it could be quite...

    Raptor Human Soldier build is gold viable confirmed, just ran 3 golds back to back without any problems at level 19-20, against Outlaws and Remnant. Though I didn't get any credits for that last one for no reason, a bug that was never fixed in ME3 and apparently carried on to this game, so yay...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Winter 2016

    Welp for further proof it's insanely good in MP, I just accidentally soloed a silver game there with that raptor soldier build lol, at lvl 17. Created a lobby but no one was joining but I'd heard if you just started it'd usually populate within a couple of rounds. Except it didn't so I was left...

    So what you're saying is that Bushmills is so inferior that they can't sell it to anyone but the locals, whereas Laphroig is enjoyed around the world because of it's superior taste?
