I’ve thought about it, but they’re super heavy!! We have to load everything to get to the trails and the e-bikes would just be too much weight.

You could get a kit to convert an existing traditional bike to an e-bike. The weight isn’t that bad on those.

Hey and welcome.. I know a buddy of mine who also lives in Liverpool 🙂 He’s a bus driver who does splits... never know you might have bumped into his bus at one point.

I have not got it, but it’s not cheap, I can say!

yeah £40 it cost me but I love the franchise all the way back to Train Fever

It’s October and we have the new Boo & Co. Halloween theme here on Drama Llama! I love it, don’t you?

Obviously AI learns etc etc but is it as bad as it seems?

It can create cool graphics and be a source of inspiration but me and @Gizmo with our sites but sometimes the advice may not always be good. I heard a story someone asked AI what to do as having a bit of trouble in their relationship. It told them to split up and they did.

Do we take what AI takes as full 100% trustworthy truth or do people need a little bit of common sense when navigating AI?

Is AI the problem or is it the end user?

Just been out shopping for a Tuxedo for a party. Never dressed so smart outside of a cruise ship 😛

I need a RAM stick as put one in my sons PC so he could boost his PC and a 2nd monitor. I miss having 2 monitors, it was so handy.

I prefer solo games. There’s too many idiots online. I remember playing Uno years ago and this man was making sexual comments to this woman. You always get people screaming down the mic too haha

Sonic The Hedgehog is first game I remember the name of on the Sega Mega Drive. There was a game on the NES I loved but never found out the name of it 🙁. All I remember is going around a castle and opening doors and solving stuff.

Welcome 🙂I didn’t even really launch and here members are haha

It doesn’t scare you then 😬

That’s a shame, you must be viewing on a phone/tablet or on a 4K 45-inch screen

Mine was ash from pokemon

Naruto do I need to say more?

Howls moving castle

Below with a poll

A lot has been changing around Empirekicking lately 👀

I've been working on the forum structure and giving pretty much everything a proper reshuffle. The aim is to make the forum feel like an actual community rather than just a place for my own streams and flights.

There are now proper sections for Empirekicking, Flight Simulation & Aviation, Creator Central, Community & Interests, Community Events and Support & Feedback.

Creator Central has also had a big upgrade with places for YouTube, Twitch & Live, Podcasts, Blogs & Writing, content creation, equipment, editing, social media, collaborations and sharing your content.

The aviation side has been cleaned up too, with areas for MSFS, Prepar3D and other sims, IVAO & VATSIM, online flying, real-world aviation, hardware and aviation screenshots.

I've also put Community Events into its own section so things like group flights, gaming sessions, challenges and other community activities have one proper place instead of being scattered around the forum.

But I'm not finished yet 😂

I'm still working through tags, labels, icons, descriptions, permissions, board arrangements and the smaller details that you probably don't notice until you actually start using the forum.

I'm also still playing around with the homepage and how everything is laid out to make it easier to find things and hopefully make the whole place feel more alive.

So yeah... the rebuild is well underway.

The main structure is there now. The rest is basically me going through everything with a fine-tooth comb and getting it all working properly.

This is only the beginning. 👀

More changes coming soon.

I’ve been using Matrix for over a year now as my main chat client. Works great.

I use Cinny, most people I know use Cinny or Element. FluffyChat works fine enough on mobile but I’ve heard complaints.

For those who fly on IVAO or VATSIM, what's a route you really enjoy flying?

Doesn't have to be a long route or anything special. Just somewhere you always seem to enjoy going. I've got a few routes that I've flown loads of times and still don't get bored of.

What's yours?

What aircraft have you been flying lately?

I've got plenty installed, but somehow always end up going back to the same few aircraft. Sometimes it's nice to try something completely different though especially if you've been flying airliners for ages. What's your current go to aircraft?

What is everyone watching at the moment?

I've been jumping between a few different things lately and always end up looking for something new to watch. Doesn't matter if it's Netflix, YouTube, TV or a film. Found anything good recently that's actually worth watching?

I wonder what coding language it's built from.

I’m pretty sure its php and utilizing Mysql on the backend.

I’m worried about my friend. His grandmother isn’t doing great, she had a stroke and another one if his friends isn’t doing great mentally. All this stress is affecting him physically and mentally as well. I talked to him a bit to see how he’s been doing after learning the news about his grandmother. I’m going to try and hang out with him tomorrow if I have the time to.

Whenever I use Linux this is my go to video editor. DaVinci Resolve works better on Windows, and it does work on Linux but there’s a few quirks with the software so I figured to try a different editor. I tried using Kdenlive in the past on Windows 10 but didn’t get good results, but the PC I used was much weaker than the one I use now.

Okk there has been a problem,

1 can’t edit photo

2 can’t see or use shoutbox.

So I changed things up

I verified all y'alls e-mails, I allowed all of you to edit profiles, and I went to your user settings and allowed you to use shoutbox and livechat, and I made you guys members instead of guests.

Report users that have changed your profile without permission. If they hacked your password or change your email feel free to make an account and message saying that you account got hacked.

As a reward and a yippie I will give all of you 100 spiral coins.

Let me know if things not working or if there are more issues below the topic ↓
