Marcus is happy.
I watch Masterchef but my god are they a bunch of pretentious Enders.
They're cooking a bit of dinner for fork sake not curing cancer.
Yes mate.
I'd love to go to one of these fancy places to see why it's so expensive. I appreciate really good staff and decent raw ingredients cost money but does rubbing my dinner in a jus taste any different from going to a harvester?
I imagine a lot of it is about paying for an experience and a good portion of that experience is probably being ripped off.
endangered animals are illegal to kill and consume in most places. So obviously it's going to be expensive to have them for dinner.
Ive got pretty much everything mapped to my HOTAS. If I did onfoot combat, then my setup wouldn't be good enough, but for walking and scanning etc, all is ok
Heston went to my school and was a couple of years above me - I'm pretty sure he sold snails from the playground at a profit even then.
...no idea what he used as a jus.

Not sure if this is typed correctly....?!
I can, but when I'm sitting back in my chair and have to lean forward to use the keyboard for anything then it takes a bit of time to find "home" - literally like fumbling in the dark. My HOTAS is a bit mental, got the Virpil CM-2 throttle which has more hats, switches, and knobs than I know what to do with.
I locate the arrow keys with my right thumb, when moving from stick to keyboard input. Everything else is then where it always is. Helps having a grand old mechanical keyboard.
Here's my setup from 1984, try playing EDO with that:
PS: OK so maybe there were also a few inputs from the C64 keyboard, but stating that would spoil the dramatic effect.
SI had one of these in '84 for the bbc / electron:Here's my setup from 1984, try playing EDO with that:

It's analogue (your's looks digital on a fancy computer
) but so much harder to use than keys.Never had a C64. Wanted one, but never got one. Wasn't until 1989 I got my first computer, an A500. I tried the original Elite, thought it was okay, but it was FE2 that hooked me.

Parents rented a C64 in 1985 and bought an MSX 2 soon after. Had to start out with one of these:
A while later we upgraded to one of these bad boys.
Two buttons. Two buttons!
I had one of those on my BBC! They are ambidextrous so I could use them easily.I had one of these in '84 for the bbc / electron:
