  Probably because we grew up in completely different countries. Australia was very behind back in the day. We had a 2 year lag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon blames millennials⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why most of the money hungry games were in the arcades back then. PC gaming wasn’t nearly as big.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Balatro. It’s a great Maths game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ABC 2025 Election Watch Party⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think it was the Israel/Palestine stance?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All the political mail I got this election⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting. What a battleground. Enjoy your democracy sausage today and vote for your best interests, whatever that may be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Although i love it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No way. Fry it, mash it, stick it in a stew, I say!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I think they do ok in New Zealand though with the Maori.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I’m in Australia so I would try and communicate with the indigenous population and teach them how to defend themselves against the upcoming colonist invasion and take advantage of what they have to offer, starting with forcing a signed treaty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Going to migrate to Bazzite. Just need a free weekend to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Until March 31st, 2026, the GameChat system will be available for free for all Switch 2 owners

  Is this so they can lock it behind the subscription after this? Along with all the other new features, not worth it for me. Getting the steam deck once I can’t get anymore physical games on the switch 1.

  Tell me where has he been?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨90s band alignment chart⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. Missing Everclear.

  Oh, I don’t think they’re taking about Derek…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely 2. Sharpening is such a nice break from writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and you do temporarily while waiting judgement in the cupboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would call the cops and let them put you on trial, obviously.

  Also, I would’ve been able to see that you’ve come from the neighbour’s house, which is not as nice as mine. If it turns out in trial that you just wanted to escape the poverty of next door and want to sell your labor, hell yeah I’d pay. You can mow my lawn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They updated the article. Good.

  It’s just waiting for clarification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do enjoy the spectating the sport ‘Mental Gymnastics’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And who makes those laws? And for what purpose? Is it to curb the incoming illegal migrants? Doesn’t seem to work. Many people are crossing the border to look for work and are actually successfully integrating with their new society. Shouldn’t the law allow for legal transition rather than keeping them as illegal immigrants? Shouldn’t there be legal pathways to citizenship? Shouldn’t it be easy for those on visas to check when their papers will be expired to prevent being in the country illegally?

  The border isn’t a walk in the park to cross either. If you don’t die in the river, you’ll likely die in the desert. If it’s so high risk, what’s the reward worth? Why even bother crossing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. Ok. Before I go on, can I just say that your world view is extremely messed up. I’d tell you to go get it checked but I know the US healthcare system is broken.

  First of all, if they’re not confirmed, how do you know that they are serial killers and human traffickers? The colour of their skin? How many tattoos they have? What evidence or procedure, other than a visual inspection, would make you believe that they are what you think they are?

  Secondly, if they were awaiting trial, they’d be waiting in an enclosed space away from the general public as a precaution. Isn’t it meant to be the American judicial mantra that everyone is innocent until proven guilty and that everyone has a right to a fair trial?

  Thirdly, what if you’re a serial killer or human trafficker? How would you prove otherwise if you were deported immediately? Or would you become one anyway since others have already decided for you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahem, alleged serial killers and human traffickers.

  None of those deported got a fair trial.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enshittification⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically, it’s about the leadership.

  Boeing leadership used to be exclusively the engineers who have worked their way up. They knew the ins and outs of every step, what works and what doesn’t work, and therefore had a huge focus on safety because they weren’t profit driven.

  Then they brought in someone who wasn’t an engineer and things immediately went south. I want to be cheeky and say that MBAs ruin everything because that way of management takes everything human out of management. Making that line constantly go up forever is the issue.

  So, for a company to produce products that actually work, you need leadership who isn’t profit driven and who actually has experience at all levels of production.

  Swiftheart was my favorite. I loved all the cousins. There was a penguin too, if I recall correctly. I was obsessed with Care Bears as a kid. Seeing this image hit me like a truck. The point of the meme completely lost to me as I drown in a sea of nostalgia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s why you take the rubbish home with you, where there is a bin. Where’s the end user responsibility?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Different country, different styles I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prepare For Discord To Get Way Worse [Kotaku]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Jitsi + mumble combo, perhaps?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨👁👄👁⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On a similar note, I visited the medical museum in Bangkok today and it had a whole section on parasites. I’ll never be the same after having viewed that photograph of someone, cheeks spread, and with a pile of worms spilling out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord requiring you to add a phone number **after** the creation of your account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s so annoying! Bring back forums!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss myspace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You never had to create an account to view anything in the website.

  Mindless scrolling was not a thing because links were mostly nested.

  It was also extremely easy to chat with perverts on mIRC, the Yahoo chat thing etc. Speaking of chats, all of your chat logs were stored locally on your PC as text files rather than on a cloud so you could delete them if you wanted.
