I decided to make a "general" RPG thread where we can discuss all the non major RPGs that already have threads in, and general RPG news and such. I just came back from my first Alien RPG session and wanted to share my feelings for it. After this one session I can say that we all had a...

So, everyone knows about the concept of spirit animals, but what about a spirit billionaire*? Which of the worlds richest men (or women), both past and present, do you look at and say "if I were filthy rich, I'd do what they do!" Would it be Elon Musk, you'd spend your fortune doing crazy tech...

So, I just bought Snowrunner and noticed there wasn't a thread on it. I then looked for threads on other driving sim games I like, such as Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Farming Simulator 19. Nothing. Figured I'd make a general thread on these games since there probably isn't enough interest for a...

Let's get a shower thoughts thread going. Post anything odd that happens to creep into your mind and see what others think. Feel free to comment posting your insightful, well thought out answers, or just to tell them it's time they started to take their damn pills again. I'll start! How is it...

So, at work we've been using a locally made computer program for distance learning. It records the voice and whatever happens on the computer screen. The program then uploads it to a server and you can view it via a web page. The only problem is, is that the program is no longer maintained...

So, I'm curious as to whether any of you are actually betting hard money on this election. If so, who are you betting for to win, and if you feel like it, how much?

The folks over at Gog.com are releasing a remastered version of one of my favourite adventure games of all time, Grim Fandango. One of the best features (unless they muck it up) will be a new control system. I've already pre-ordered it since I lent my old CDs ages ago and have no idea where they...

Anyone recommend any new or old turn based tactical squad games. I've always liked games such as the original X-com, Jagged Alliance and such, but I've played them to death. Recently I have played Xenonauts, a very good remake of X-com, the new X-com as well as both Shadowrun games. All have...

So my trusty Black & Decker toster has finally died on me after 20+ years of faithful service. As a result I'm looking for a new toaster. The problem is, as I've always said, in this day and age of Chinese manufacturing and Planned Obsolescence it's very, very hard to find any appliance or...

I thought I'd start a thread on old age since, let's face it, we're not getting any younger and some of us here are past our prime. I figure we could use a thread where we can discuss our hopes and fears for old age/retirement. Have you started planning for it, if yes, how? Do you worry about...

So, I was going to mod a game, but found out that in order to do what I want to do I'll have to edit a few lines of text in a number of .txt files located in a single folder. We're talking about hundreds of files here so manually doing this would be pretty tedious. I'd like to know if anyone...

Can someone point me to a good website that teaches the pros and cons of various different image file types, such as .jpg, .gif, .png, and especially Enhanced Metafiles? In my work I use Word a lot to edit documents with lots of pictures in and it's getting to the point where it would be good...

Let's face it, most TV shows are open ended, meaning that the creators write (or get others to) the show on the fly. This means that often you can miss out on whole episodes without having missed out on the main plot. After all, it's tough to fill 20+ episodes a season with meaningful dialoge...

I've been a Windows user since Windows for Workgroups 3.11 back in the day. But I've all but got to the point where I've given up on it. I'm using Win7 at the moment but have decided that once I have to upgrade my machine I will think long and hard of switching to Linux. Now, practically the...

Didn't find a topic that this might be relevant in, so I thought I'd create an MS Office help topic, as I have a problem I need help with. The thing is I need to send out a letter to a bunch of people, and while each letter is largely the same, there are certain fields that change (name...

First of, I'm posting this here instead of the Other Games forum for the simple reason that I'd like a serious discussion on this from people with young children of their own, and to hear their experiences and recommendations. I was talking with a family member today who was children of about...
