- Comment on Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road 4 weeks ago:
its not so bad but something you will notice now you know about it!
- Comment on Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road 4 weeks ago:
it kind of looks like scenes are being sped up, but when you pay attention you can see the action is moving at a normal pace, but looks faster. it’s a clever effect used in the right places
- Comment on Why Furiosa’s CGI Looks More Fake Than Mad Max Fury Road 4 weeks ago:
I was rewatching fury road on the weekend and this was something I picked up on I hadn’t noticed before. it’s quite apparent in scenes where a sense of urgency is required, such as when Max is trying to escape from the warboys in the citadel near the start of the movie

I hope she has more integrity than the last bloke. thinking secret ministries weren’t something he should have addressed or made public was dodgy as fuck

- Comment on What is the cruelest "twist the knife" move or statement by a villain in a film for you? 3 months ago:
I alwaysbinterpreted that scene differently, that batman knew what the joker was doing and made the decision himself to save Harvey, because he thought Harvey was that important for Gotham, more so than batman personal feelings for his girlfriend

- Comment on When the landlord asks for a tip 7 months ago:
fixed it. where’s me tip?
“Work hard, be good to your mother”
- Comment on When the landlord asks for a tip 7 months ago:
in NSW Australia it’s even better. you sort your own electricity as a tenant which is fine, but when it comes to water, the landlord pays the fixed fees and tenant pays for usage. except only one bill is issued and it goes to the landlord, who sends a copy of the bill to you with the amount you need to pay.
I think they are looking at tenant billing directly but as of now its this crazy system
- Comment on What game did you last finish? What did you think of it? 7 months ago:
same, did you feel the main campaign felt like it ended a little early? I honestly didn’t realise how far along I was until I realised that was it. loved most of the side campaigns though

spoiler: it’s not
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 7 months ago:
absolute crazy bullshit. don’t stand for that. restaurant price here what you see is what you pay. no stupid surcharges and no stupid tipping. fuck all that
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 7 months ago:
even in countries that actually pay their staff right, there’s no way those base prices don’t cover the cost of food, staff and overheads.
then they have the gall to charge a “service charge” to pay the staff.
THEN they have the gall to imply you still need to tip
fuck that to hell
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I actually miss when maccas used to make the stuff in bulk and chuck on a rack. you’d order, they’d grab your burger and stuff bag it and your done. now it’s “made to order” and while it’s admittedly pretty quick, during peak times you’ll be waiting a while.
there was never an issue with the bulk system cause everything moved so quick anyway
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
that bullshit where they started serving fries in those dollar shop shitty chrome baskets with that stupid overpriced “create your own” was the turning point I noticed when they lost track of what they were and suddenly thought they were a gourmet burger joint.
that initiative failed, the “gourmet” burgers are relegated to a niche menu item with like 2 choices that hardly anyone orders, so instead they just jack the prices on everything else as though it’s “fancy enough”. I only go there where there is actual cheap deals in the app, and for free coffees earnt through the app. their everyday prices are a complete joke for what they provide

makes you wonder, how often are 3 screens watching at the same time? it seriously has to a fuck all, why bother even restricting it
- Comment on HBO Max is removing features from my plan without reducing my price. 7 months ago:
in Australia that was the whole selling point of foxtel when it launched. these days it has more ads than free to air TV and still costs like $60 a month for the basic package. most people only use it for sport

AUD, but yeah about $10 USD
- Comment on 'Wildly more expensive': Workers with in-office jobs spend about $31/day that they wouldn't working from home — here's what employers need to do 8 months ago:
my first reaction was that’s a rediculous amount, but its actually not that far fetched. my commute cost is $17 per day (AUD) which is pretty much half that. all it takes is a cheap lunch and a coffee to meet that total (obviously something you can avoid most days but you won’t everyday because “TeAm BoNdiNg” requires spending money to eat with people you don’t like
