Good
It’s not a good thing that everyone in Australia knows about crap companies like ladbrokes
- Comment on Oblivion 5 days ago:
Yeah. Here in Australia they don’t pay us
- Comment on Sony 5 days 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 1 week 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 1 week ago:
You mean media which likely favors the elderly and people who are right wing?
- Comment on End of an era? 1 week ago:
Sony have always been a sh** company though, even as far back as their proprietary mini disc format.

- Comment on Pauline Hanson says her vision of 'monoculture' is like the Socceroos 1 week 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 1 week ago:
Wow. We were really slow on that one
Actually super surprising
- Comment on Pauline gets desperate and starts posting endorsement by foreign celebs 1 week 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 1 week 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”

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 2 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 2 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 2 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 2 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 2 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 2 weeks ago:
That doesn’t translate into extra profit at any point. And it would just give competitors a chance to start copying it
- Comment on One Nation’s aim to slash migration is clear. Here’s how its policies compare 2 weeks ago:
I’m so tired of hearing about what one nation does
We’re far better off talking about all the good things the others do
- Comment on I'm just a big toasty cinnamon bun that isn't fatally trapped in a crevice. 3 weeks ago:
I actually sat during lunch with 2 mountaineering record holders when I did my mountaineering training with two record holders who spoke about all the fuckups they had and how one spent the night in a biouvac in a crevasse once and how terrible it was
Just what a guy doing his first mountaineering training needed to hear… That and on the first day of training you’re dumped in the middle of nowhere and told that everyone will fall in a crevasse during the training
- Comment on Tony Burke says Pauline Hanson 'hates my part of Sydney' after 'hit list' threat 3 weeks ago:
They hate most Australian citizens and speak openly about hating lefties, Greenies, migrants, woke people, etc, attributes that cover most citizens
- Comment on Live: Pauline Hanson's press club address interrupted by protest banner 3 weeks ago:
So many idiots on Facebook saying the person who did it should be arrested for breach of security and organised crime and such. “What if it was a bomb”
It wasn’t a bomb, and anyone can sign up to attend the press club, so its not like it’s a private area
And it’s weird to watch the same people calling everything a nanny state lose their minds because of a poster demanding police to throw every obscure law they can here.
In fact, it’s scary to watch this overreaction because it shows what we should expect if she wins
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Even worse, when she talks about education, she calls it woke. People I know who didn’t finish year 12 would do it if they could
Instead, her narcissism is so big that she believes she seems to believe she’s the smartest person in the room in public
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Of course. She didn’t even finish high school and has no legal training. She’s mentally incapable of writing policies or even writing the basis of them (she might be able to write them into chatgpt though)
She doesn’t even have the work ethics to bother understanding what she’s signing
That’s the sad thing. Put her in a room of Australians, and in most rooms, she’d be the least educated one there
- Comment on Live: Pauline Hanson's press club address interrupted by protest banner 3 weeks ago:
Gina rinehart literally bought 10% of Channel 7. Thats why it feels like every 2 posts is a “pauline is great” post on facebook
- Comment on they're havin a laugh 3 weeks ago:
Here in Australia it’s always been too oriented towards Australian rules football. I never gave a toss.
And a lot of the players are total dickheads too (one was our customer). I don’t mind soccer but nobody likes it here, and I rarely watch it anyway
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 3 weeks ago:
Consoles are PC’s. They’re just locked down. They even use the same processors.
I dated a few women who played games regularly. It was always on consoles and I had to explain what steam was.
You can’t narrow a definition to a limited subsection of what a PC is, simply because (ironically), some of them are locked down to block competiton
If you ask gamers unprompted what the biggest gaming stores are, I guarantee that Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo’s stores will be mentioned
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 3 weeks ago:
Interesting wordsmithing. Why did you ignore Xbox?
Oh yeah, Xbox client ships with windows lol . And Apple has made it increasingly difficult to install apps outside of their store
Furthermore, you’ve narrowed down gaming to a very narrow definition. Nobody is stopping PlayStation or Nintendo selling games on PC. Whether or not you like it though, they are selling games, and they do compete with steam
Or are you genuinely arguing that Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo aren’t competing?
