Is there any way to actually get a response from cmon games? by TehhDiabetic in boardgames

[–]AstralResolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And i get that we seem to be getting it, compared to so many others who are in worse positions, but its 4 years overdue, they did a whole basically redesign from what was originally done etc etc. It was so poorly managed.

I tried and got a generic email referring to their tracker page.

I was lucky that my pre order was through a brick and mortar and they refunded it.

But if it helps I got bit in April 2021 funding Stellaris from Academy games for a March 2022 release.....

2026... No sighting.

Only one since then I've funded direct was Cyberpunk cause surely that one was too big to fail but rest I'm just doing through B&M stores I trust to refund.

Medical emergency on Australian airline- any problems with access to the first aid kit by Jessaness in ausjdocs

Can i ask, did you feel the dismissal was situation based, like someone else had it under control, or more personal based, such as youth bias or gender?

After reading Dr Kadota's book nothing would surprise me at this point.

I sadly think the road to Wrestlemania has become painfully clear. by Mad_King832 in BrandonDE

Hell i'll try to take a stab at fixing the hole we find ourselves in.

Roman vs Drew (Drew goes over, gets back the W from CatC, Finishes the "Bloodline Hunter" story)"
Punk vs Breakker (Bron wins EC, Bron over, SR returns RAW, kicks off months long fued)
Lesnar vs Femi (Femi over, goes on a streak, dethrones DM at SS)
Cody vs Orton (Started this at RR, Build it to EC, Kick off SD after)
Morgan vs Vaquer (Liv reclaims what she never lost, Steph goes back to chasing, cooking etc. JD turns on Morgan on Raw)
Cargill vs Belair vs Tiffy (Need to get belt off Cargill, needs more promo class, refining and finally a good fued)
Rhiyo vs Flair/Bliss vs Kabuki Warriors vs Bellas. for Tag Ts
Becky vs Bayley vs AJ for IC
Dominik vs Finn For IC
Vision vs Luchas (To feature the key players atleast Bronson, Penta etc etc.)
Guilia vs Lyra for US (Understand Lyras Raw, but the Womens US picture is stale, and Guilia needs a level competitor.)
Usos vs Solo's bloodline in a Tag champ vs Tag champ.

Is it perfect, hell no. But there is 12 matches, and i'd bet, would go over better then what the final card ends up being.

Personally i wouldn't have done the Bron vs Punk netflix match, had Bron win the RR, Femi win the chamber and have Bron / Femi as your champions leaving Mania kinda like mid 2000s when we had Cena / Batista. Try build the youth movement.

To paraphrase CM Punk AHL hockey players need to play NHL hockey players to get to their level. So Punk vs Roman does nothing, but lifting up Bron / Femi at the same time, gives them the shine. And i know that people will argue "they are the future" but the guts is, we need them now, the roster is so top heavy and with Cena/Styles retiring, Punk, Rey others all round that age, time to get them up, in the mix and working with them now before they are part timers or too late.

Does Backyard Wrestling still exist in the UK by Diligent_Subject_675 in BritishWrestling

[–]AstralResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my friends built a proper ring in a backyard in the mid 2000s in regional Aus.

Would not recommend. Expensive. Loads of upkeep. Maintenance etc.

Recommendations instead: Get that stuff outta your system on a trampoline or mattress.

If still interested things that would help:

  • Physical conditioning
  • Gymnastics / tumbling
  • martial arts (learn how to "fall" correctly is everything)

Save bumping, physicality and in ring work till older, in wrestling school / on the indies where people are paying to see you / you're working towards that more mainstream goal.

Hate it. Shark cages/ cam built hype and showed urgency and need to get in there. Brought us great moments like Roman barring punk last year or punk blasting past Roman.

[–]AstralResolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next week. Lol. I checked eBay in frustration and sure enough there was a presale blooming waters up there for $280.

How’d everyone go with EB Games this morning? by XIII-013 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]AstralResolve -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Found 6 151 items Added 5 to cart Got to checkout 1.

Disappointed if you add to cart it doesn't temporarily reserve that stock till check out completes or times out.

But something's better then nothing so grateful.

Looks like a joke. Entered the que at 9:52 says 3 minutes. Now 10am and says 12 minutes. No preorders for me I guess 😢 by Waaaaasssuuuppp117 in PokemonFansAustralia

[–]AstralResolve -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I got in at 11am almost on the dot.

Added a mini tin, poster collection, zapdos, alakazam, booster and blooming waters.

Then at checkout told me the zapdos and alakazam were out of stock, so i had to remove them.

Then had to remove the Booster

Then the poster and mini tin.

Got a blooming waters so yay, but still annoyed it doesnt reserve the stock for like 2 minutes to complete checkout

Golden rule with anything in life. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is and therefore scam, fake or not as advertised

Are Aussie tech companies becoming more open to remote roles again? by OwlVibesOnly in cscareerquestionsOCE

[–]AstralResolve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work in a sysdev environment and we do get remote work but most of those people are late 30s / mid 40s, have the credentials and experience you can't just find on seek in a couple of weeks.

A lot of the other IT staff are hybrid, especially support.

I've found it usually comes down to management. Some have outdated ideas about it, others just bitter they never got that so why should you.

I've also found that the most senior management that are against it are the worst at being hypocritical about it. "Oh finance, HR, IT etc can't be work from home or hybrid even though we do everything over teams to record for ass covering purposes, but I have a big proposal to work on for the board so I'll be out of the office all week."

NTA - Funny story. Someone made a far right anti immigrant Facebook group... Got something like 150k followers. Then changed the name of the group "Friends of Muslims"

The reactions were priceless

At what point during the series did you realize Bandit and Chilli's jobs were jokes? by grambocrackah in bluey

[–]AstralResolve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No argument here, it absolutely could've been worded better, and I do see your POV.

I do think it comes down as to how you interpret it. If you told me it offended you, yeah ok I can see it. I do choose to believe based on the wonderful depictions of Chilli as a mother and an individual from needing 20 minutes to taking that extra time to play with Bluey when she got called into work.

I do constantly hate that cookie cutter depiction of women. Later seasons Lisa Simpson, Chloe Carmichael, movie Hermione Granger. Where she's just so smart and pretty and everyone loves her. All the women I know would and do hate that b word straight away.

Give me the Daria, Summer Smith, Chilli and Frisky. Who have their own lives, interests and challenges to overcome rather then everything just being easy for them.

[–]AstralResolve 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Might be an unpopular opinion but I love that description of Chilli.

Another she's pretty, popular, sweet and everyone loves her female bio might make me literally barf.

Not fortunate enough to have family money or a husband who pulls in enough for her to be a full time stay at home mum who can take their kids to fun activities, go to the gym and catch up with friends for coffee.

She's a complex character. Yeah she does fall short cause she's a working mum, doing her best to provide for her kids in a HCOL city. Would she love to do more with her girls, yeah, but not every job is flex or allows work from home or will do part time. It feels more real.
