The Flood / Re: if I ever die I'm posting my obituary on this website
« on: March 17, 2024, 11:40:43 AM »
Isn't the Obits usually posted by someone else? Someone would have to know you died and post here.

I don't really think about it, but I would assume a small few who have visited here have died since the site's inception. The longevity of this place means it's up to chance, but it's increasing everyday the site is still up. Wouldn't even have to be common like age, or some mental health related self harm, could get hit by a car or gotten unlucky with Covid.

I think the last part I mentioned is the real problem though - I don't think I'm 'connected' enough to anyone else here outside of this website. If I died, I'd just stop posting, my discord would be offline, and on Xbox Live I'd just be 'Last Seen >365 days ago' . I'm sure that applies to many other people here too.

The Flood / How far have you moved since being here?
« on: February 11, 2024, 06:48:12 PM »
Thought I'd spice it up a bit.

Sep7 has been around for... 10? 11-ish years? People have changed jobs, finished school(s), married, probably had kids (I don't want to dwell on that), and even literally died in that time.

But who's moved the most since when they came here?

I started early as apparently I'm the 15th person to sign up here, and I moved from bumfuck nowhere, Wales, to the capital of Vienna in that time.



Anyone moved further than 2000km? If you haven't moved at all, then what has changed the most for you in your time here?

We just wait for a new post to come in and then all show up.
It's because most of everyone left are people that don't make threads.

Also at this point, what else is there to talk about.

Political debate died in Serious when most of the Brits left and the US is having old man elections 2 boogalooOAP at the moment. All the wacky controversial shit we have left, no one is bothered to argue over (again).

Gaming is Verbat's collection, and I don't think enough of us even play Destiny or Halo anymore or play in the same system or games to organise something.

And Offtopic is... Off. We all wait for a new thread that rarely happens, or SecondClass does their mad thing of the month. And we don't talk about anarchy.

There's only ghosts and nostalgia left, and I really hate to say that.

Today I got an SMF Database error page and for a second I thought this place had genuinely disappeared.

Gaming / Re: GTA 6
« on: December 14, 2023, 11:59:36 AM »
Should be interesting since I never got into GTA until SA, so I never saw Vice City.

A lot of the old leak material is getting spammed up everywhere, which I imagine is pissing off Rockstar since the game is probably a bit more done since then if the trailer is anything to go by.

The Flood / Re: Literature backlog
« on: December 14, 2023, 11:52:02 AM »
I think I have 3 books currently reading;

- A biography of Mao Tse Tsung written in the 70's by some American. It's a penguin book and I started out of passing interest, but oh my god does it drag because the authour went too hard with the most mundane details. I've gotten about 100 pages in and then stopped for about a year because it was very dry.

- The Hobbit. I thought I should probably read it since it's on my 'Classics everyone should read' mental list.

- Doom. Not the videogame book adaptation, but it's about crisis management, it's history, development, and how often we as individuals, nations, and organisations can bungle it up. It was written as the Covid pandemic was ongoing so it doesn't focus solely on it which is good.

Then I have A Picture of Dorian Gray to read after all those as another of my 'Classics must read' list.

Photography.

The problem is film is expesive for the cameras I enjoy so I don't get to shoot as often as I want, and I don't get the same fun out of a digital camera.

If I worked a better job I'd have more money, but then I woudn't have the time to do it, so... Catch 22.

The Flood / Re: Old tech you still use and why?
« on: November 09, 2023, 07:01:40 PM »
Previous gen phones don't count, but my phone is a Samsung S8. That's like 6 generations ago.

Last year I bought a mirrorless camera, but before that my most modern camera I had was from 1982. Even now I use old adapted lenses on the mirrorless, the earliest is from 1964. I also have a few film cameras I use dating from 1958 to the mid 70's.

Are wired headphones 'old tech' now? I have a few pairs I use because Bluetooth drains batteries and I hate the idea of tiny wireless earbuds I can lose or forget to charge.

I watch youtube on my PS4 using a plasma TV I got for free. Y'know the type, a 'flatscreen' that is still using glass as the screen and was 'flat' because it was thinner than the previous Electron-Tube Boxy television sets. The height of technology in 2005...

The Flood / The last vestige of Bungie is going

Groups are getting shut down this month. From Duards himself;

Quote
Within the past six months, out of the 5.1-million Groups that have been created, only 65 were active with at least one post in them. Breaking that down further, only 16 were active in the past month, 10 of those had over 10 posts in them, and only 3 broke over 100 posts.

This decision did not come lightly, and we’ve been postponing it for several years. But with our website’s future hosting multiple IPs, we must upgrade and begin the process of shutting down older features that no longer see usage.

So if for some godforsaken reason you like hoarding and backing up conversations, now might be a good time...

The Flood / Re: Sony Xperia phones
« on: September 12, 2023, 03:39:04 PM »
Never actually owned a Sony phone, but my partner has lent me one to put my UK SIM in since swapping countries.

It's a really old model from 2014 , an Experia M4/E2303.

It's not half bad for a phone from that time considering it's that time of Samsung-Apple patenting every fucking design feature and ever other brand having to make do.

It does suffer from sort of CPU overheating but I'm thinking it's due to age since the battery life is also terrible on this after nearly 10 years.

I just miss basic things on phones like replaceable batteries, headphone jack, and not everything being coated in easily smashable glass. My mobiles have never been the latest, and I keep my Samsung S8 chugging purely for the headphone jack.

Until this thread I didn't know Halo Infinite existed - didn't know it had a free multiplayer section either.

I'll check it out, I wonder if it will be like that Halo Dewrito Online thing that was popular before MCC.

Serious / Re: What should be done about the rising cost of housing?
« on: August 16, 2023, 05:45:23 PM »
- Heavy taxes on Holiday homes, 2nd± Homes, and whatever AirBnB's are.
- Heavy Tax on property investors and multi national rental agencies which goes directly into council housing construction programs.
- Council taxes on the wealthier estates go to council property buybacks of places given out in the 70's and 80's (for countries that sold all the council housing).
- Council house construction mandated in every district or suburb. Reduce the ghettofication, stratification of class housing, and stigma of living in a council estate.
- Actual fucking livable council housing. Alterlaa in Vienna is fucking neat and it's better than most private homes in the area.
- Rent control and financial assistance for the poorest and/or minorities and/or disabled who have had a harder time getting a place.
- Abolish 'student housing' apartments. They're intentionally shit and then overcharge rent for cramped conditions when inevitably no student will bother with them.
- Landlord accountability by having them live in the same region as the rental property, contact information and their properties on public record, and government housing advice for renter's rights
- Tax the rich, offer mortgage support for first time buyers and particularly those who have only rented in their family.
- Restrict or outright ban foreign investments into housing markets unless they can prove they will also use 25% of profits to build more affordable properties in the area.
- Landlords who fail to pay mortgages on 2nd homes will have the property repossessed into the respective bank's "rental division", allowing the renter to continue living there at a negotiated rent rate, or even to take on the mortgage themselves. Alternative is government buyback programs mentioned above.
- Landlord purge day, (date to be determined), landlords are rounded up and...

Halo MCC was on sale lately and it's crossplay.

Otherwise there's Destiny I think? (Lol) and Planetside 2.

Bagel

Because it's harder for me to get poppy bagels here than a genuine Belgian waffle with sugar crystals the size of teeth.

Honestly I kind of wish Cheat would just pull the plug. The idea of a meta community like this is nice but even back when it was “active” it feels way too small and isolating of a community.

Maybe it’s just because I’m so used to 4chan levels of traffic and my ADHD brain can’t handle the snail pace but isn’t the whole point of the internet constant and fast information?

Nah, the internet is for whatever the hell you want it to be.

For example, this http://www.9000.org/ has been up since 1995 and hasn't been touched since 2007. I hope it never dies.

Besides, if you constant streams of consciousness, there's Discord. I think the officially unofficial one that got created for here still exists, and there's plenty of other splinter-groups. I'm sure there's even a few other offsite website forums banging around (not the Tankie one though, that one is a borderline cult).

Sure, someone could even make a Mastodon instance like '@whoever.sep7agon' and get the server blacklisted from the global list when 2ndClass posts military secrets which is the fashion nowadays.

Gaming / Re: Unpopular (Widely Disliked) Games You Love
« on: August 27, 2022, 04:29:14 PM »
Reach is my favourite Halo.

Fallout 3 is hated now? Lol ok then add it to the list. I also love Fallout 4, and particularly the settlement system which some seem to despise.

Sure, it's no New Vegas, but they all have their quirks and gems.

Brink was also the shit but it totally flopped on release. A shame, because a lot of other TF2 copies like Overwatch and Apex took the lion's share a few years later but with much less depth to it all.

Closest I've gotten was buying a Fallout 4 PipBoy Edition from Psy a few years ago.

That and the few of you living *Yn Nghymru* (Psy, Ender, Big Boss iirc?) that were nearby.

Now I live waaaaay too far out of any Sep7'ers range to meet any.

By that logic Joe Rogan would be a 5-a-day super food.
