I played it for the first time this year. Finished it in like 5 hours, so can’t say it would be worth full price…but I still enjoyed it a lot for what it was.

Truly a land of beauty and contrasts

Half joking of course. There are bits of Ferntree Gully and nearby which are beautiful

Then add a second currency for just 3 hour blocks that can only be bought in groups 5

The company I was working for offshored all our jobs to Manila. To be fair the only reason I got the job was because the people we were replacing had their jobs out sourced to us. Just corpo shit.

I saw a man at the local show today (Regional shows are like a county fair), he was wearing a MAGA hat with an Australian flag sewn into it. We are not doing doing a good job of preventing shit.

From the article

“Aura farming is an earnest attempt to look cool. Vice President JD Vance was aura farming when he declared he would take vengeance for Charlie Kirk. Trump was aura farming when he threatened to jail Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Pritzker was aura farming when he responded with “Come and get me.” And Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was aura farming when she paraded on the roof of Portland’s ICE facility in supposed defiance of antifa.”

Try this one. See where you fall. Always interesting to compare across countries as well.

The octogenarian who was found wandering around on the roof? That guy? The same guy who seems to have forgotten about the Epstein files?

I kinda had to accept that Lemmy wouldn’t have the same hooks to trigger impulsive scrolling because Lemmy isn’t a corporation desperate to mine you for every ounce of data you can provide.

Also took me a while to find a group of communities with content I like.

I sometimes reinstall Reddit just see what’s happening over there, whenever I open it, it feels like I’m being inundated with ads, both obviously and via the ingenuine comment threads.

Yeah I recently replayed IW. I actually enjoyed it. I felt I didn’t appreciate it for what it was in its own time.

They decided to wait and see if Trump won, and if Homan then accepted bribes. It would be a much more airtight case. So the Biden people handed the investigation off to the Trump people, no doubt holding out the vain hope that the career people would persuade the political people that someone taking a bag of cash was something that ought to be investigated.

The fucking ineptitude of the Liberal elites never ceases to amaze me.

I love that they had to publish an explainer article for everyone in Australia under the headline:

Trump is so rarely challenged, simple questions can seem hostile

I’m dumb as rocks and I’m not exactly a fan.

I use a dock with my steam deck. Highly recommended. I was shocked at how seamless it was as an experience.

I would argue that if you’re an Xbox gamer with no interest in PC and no interest in trying different eco-systems then yes the new ROG Xbox Ally will be your best bet. You might not get quite the same performance as the SteamOS models but you’ll have access to your GamePass, cross-buy library titles if you have any and a familiar interface.

EDIT: Woof, after seeing the ROG Ally Xbox X, there’s no way could I recommend it.

Andor. But good eye for the franchise.

We all know which way this will go.
