Doesn’t piss me off as much as media players that show you what happens in the next episode as it’s loading
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 2 days ago:
I sold my PS5 a year ago. So, I already am boycotting…
- Comment on Richard Marles says new US tariff on Australia 'makes no sense' 5 days ago:
Disagree with this one.
The entire point is to make it look like he’s doing something so, at the end of the presidency, he can claim he deserves a hall pass for three Epstein files and tax fraud because he’s done so much
- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 1 week ago:
They’re doing also lots of pro consumer things
Whereas, I’d argue Nintendo is almost entirely anti consumer. They didn’t even fix their joycons and recall them
- Comment on Millions of Australian customer details potentially exposed after Origin Energy hacked 1 week ago:
Not surprised.
Surprised originenergysux didn’t post this though
- Comment on 'Not your enemy': Pauline Hanson and Angus Taylor's stoush amid preference question 2 weeks ago:
Yep. I mean, I could make the argument that whilst I disagree with LNP, at least their ideas have some merit or argument at the moment.
Onp however, they’re off pretending like Pauline could have been killed by a poster, or using ridiculous whatifs or things that never happened.
Like the whole diesel “crisis”. They all told us to trust them it would be a disaster within a month and we were out of fuel.
Now, they just moved on to other bs
- Comment on PM 'unequivocally' apologises for 'shag, marry, date' podcast comments 2 weeks ago:
He is human, and he’s fairly normal.
I know people who would be similar to hang out with to him
Pauline on the other hand would be a pita to hang out with, because you could picture her acting like an ass to every foreign looking person serving you food
- Comment on News story saying Labor minister called One Nation voters 'unintelligent' shown to be fake 2 weeks ago:
They’d be right though
Pauline herself says education is woke
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 weeks ago:
The funny thing, is that if you check the people who bought the steam machine, they’re happy with their purchase too
- Comment on 'Not your enemy': Pauline Hanson and Angus Taylor's stoush amid preference question 2 weeks ago:
I don’t like either party, but, he’s not wrong
- Comment on Senator Pocock's amendments expose glaring holes in Labor's gambling advertising bill 3 weeks ago:
Good
It’s not a good thing that everyone in Australia knows about crap companies like ladbrokes
- Comment on Oblivion 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. Here in Australia they don’t pay us
- Comment on Sony 3 weeks ago:
Sony has always screwed consumers. No idea why anyone buys their products anyway
- Comment on One Nation overtakes Labor, Liberals in Victoria; Allan’s rating dives 4 weeks ago:
I feel like a lot of financial review readers are the exact people who are targeted by the new tax changes
The poll isn’t really useful anyway if it’s not normalized by checking if the majority of readers are right wing
It’s like polling sky news. Only useful if the trend is away from the right wing realistically
- Comment on One Nation overtakes Labor, Liberals in Victoria; Allan’s rating dives 4 weeks ago:
You mean media which likely favors the elderly and people who are right wing?
- Comment on End of an era? 4 weeks ago:
Sony have always been a sh** company though, even as far back as their proprietary mini disc format.
- Comment on james 4 weeks ago:
There are googly eyes on my robotic vacuum. Ie. DJ Roomba
- Comment on Pauline Hanson says her vision of 'monoculture' is like the Socceroos 4 weeks ago:
She can’t even say something as basic as that without s*itting on half of the country again.
What she said wasnt stupid… Nope, it’s the people who are left wing that are apparently… And that is at least half the country
- Comment on in the uk they encourage smokers by printing cigarette packs as collectibles 4 weeks ago:
Wow. We were really slow on that one
Actually super surprising
- Comment on Pauline gets desperate and starts posting endorsement by foreign celebs 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t exactly either.
The endorsements she’s posting are pretty much scraping the barrel at this point (this one is a D grade celeb who hasn’t lived in Australia for a long time)
I’m surprised Pauline isn’t pushing to ban dual citizenship
- Comment on in the uk they encourage smokers by printing cigarette packs as collectibles 4 weeks ago:
We probably started that, here in Australia

You haven’t heard? She’s absolutely interested in uniting the nation into one.
Which is why she openly hates woke people, greenies, lefties, first nation ceremonies (and therefore traditional first nations), people who don’t speak english (also some of our first nations), trans people and migrants. She definitely tries to unite suspected war criminals too.
In her defence, she does spend 1 day a year trying to unite everyone… Australia day. Everyone MUST unite on that day, including first nations who were invaded that day at one time.
And, she at least waited until the day after Australia day to release her “anti-woke” video and song which started openly attacking Aussies she deems are “unacceptable”
- Comment on oh bless yer heart, pepperidge farm 'members! 4 weeks ago:
Here in Australia our racist nutbag pollie is pretending a poster that was dropped behind her could have been a bomb… and now wants police protection
- Comment on Microsoft Announces Significant Price Rises for Xbox Series X and S, 2TB Model Discontinued 5 weeks ago:
That’s why I sold my Xbox and ps honestly and moved back to steam. I’ve got hundreds of games, many I’ve barely played.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 5 weeks ago:
Also, I might be wrong, but fairly sure the pricing for this isn’t that dissimilar to what I paid for my NUC 14 Pro+ too at the time.
Also, if I bought the games I have now on Steam on the Playstation store, fairly sure I’d be paying a huge premium
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 5 weeks ago:
Steve from Gamers nexus already did an analysis and found an equivilent PC costs about that much anyway (unless you want a massive ATX case in your lounge).
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo can sell their systems below cost and get it back by forcing you through their store… In fact, thats why the XMBC was so harmful to microsoft, because people could buy underpriced hardware and use it as a media centre.
Since this is an unlocked PC (that even runs linux), it has to be sold above cost, or every Cryptobro/AI-bro will buy them and use.
Not all gamers are playing 4K Raytraced games. If you look at the charts: store.steampowered.com/charts/ the most popular games aren’t that intensive.
Also, we can play games we bought 20 years ago. My Wii U games won’t even run on a switch unless I rebuy them (and the joycon’s on the Switch 1 mostly all drift eventually).
All the games I want to play all run fine on my Rog Ally X. So, even a steam machine is sufficient for me.
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 5 weeks ago:
Maybe you should check the context of the full thread…
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 5 weeks ago:
But they haven’t…
This isn’t a luxury controller, and its priced lower than the Xbox Elite controllers. Furthermore, they’re not taking preorders, so the sales aren’t confirmed
If they were selling them at 2.5x the price, it would make sense to maintain a level of “prestige” and luxury surrounding them… They’re not though, and the high demand already exists.
There are more likely specific chips on them that are constrained for now (because unlike Nintendo, they aren’t using cheap garbage that drifts after 6 months and overpricing the controller)
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 5 weeks ago:
That doesn’t translate into extra profit at any point. And it would just give competitors a chance to start copying it
