All done virtually using laptops, tablets and phones. Was about 16 of us all playing drinking games and getting wrecked till some early time in the morning. As we were all in our own houses a few of us were doing random fancy dress and changing outfits every time we popped to the loo. Sounds like my kind of ultimate party I’m having enough issues trying to get my friends to download the zoom app !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even sent it to a young friend who is studying at Birmingham University, as she might want to do the same with her uni. From what I can gather universities etc are a bloody scandal nowadays compared to what used to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used zoom for it. The trending Houseparty App only lets you have 8 connections and the inbuilt games only work if you’re using a mobile or tablet. Facebook video chat struggles if there is more than a few people. Skype has been a bit on the dodgy side since it started been built into windows. We struggled to even add people to each other’s contact lists. I definitely recommend zoom for large chats. Only limitation is the 40 minute chat limit for those using a free account but if you’re likely to be using it for a while it’s definitely worth getting a small subscription. Only one person needs to have a premium account and the rooms they host can go on indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellyboot Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Today has been a bit easier for me. Worked a slightly shorter day which felt better, tons of Glastonbury pics popping up on my twitter feed and my boy ready for a cuddle as soon as I got home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyhack Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Tonight I was due to see The Who at The Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff. It was actually called off by the band in anticipation about a week before gigs were put on hold anyway. Rescheduled for March next year.

The flight prices are insane for the back end of this year, but I just feel too wary to book anything at the moment. Even though having a holiday to look forward to would be great after all of this.

Some are a lot easier than others to get working. So far NES, SNES and Amstrad games (my first computer!) are nice and straightforward . MAME arcades are a bit hit and miss as there are so many variants of the emulator version, so it's a bit potluck on whether I can get a download running. I've got some Amiga games working, but again it's a case of finding the right ROM type as it runs the Amiberry emulator, and it's not the most common ROM. N64 is the big problem at the moment. The Pi3 is only just capable of running it, but it needs som tweaking in the config files. Unfortunately I know the sum total of fuck all about linux, so not figured that out yet! But I've got enough to keep me happy, and hopefully the options for config and customising should give me lots to get my teeth into 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
