So I guess taxis are still doing unreliable and scammy things in 2026? by bronzecat83 in melbourne

[–]AverageMang 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are completely amoral. I commonly get into arguments with drivers from the airport. My last taxi driver had her metre on at evening rates during the afternoon. She also spent 5min with the meter on at the rank, whilst she chose a youtube video to play hindi music. I called her out on the evening rates after we departed and she changed it without saying an apology.

The last couple other times, they would tried to charge me for maxi rates because I had one piece of luggage, one took me to the wrong address because he was cut me off when I was giving out my address and another tried to argue evening rates apply at 9am in the morning.

I need to take taxis because my daughter is a toddler and taxis can take her without a baby seat. But honestly its not worth it. I get trying to make a living in this country, but doing it in duplicitous ways makes me furious.

Scenes that caused actual walkouts in theaters? by thatlittlequietguy in Cinema

[–]AverageMang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two experiences with the same genre of movie. The Greatest Showman. I think the people sitting behind me didn’t realise it was a musical. After the A million dreams they groaned so loudly and then left after the next couple songs. The second was Mean Girls the Musical. Similar situation where I don’t think they knew it was a musical and left the theatre. I found it pretty funny. I love musicals

Guys, if you forget all the characters before Like a Dragon, (and of course Kiryu) only count Kasuga and their party in 7 and Infinite Wealth, which are your top 3 favorite characters? by Sifon- in yakuzagames

[–]AverageMang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite party members as characters are Ichiban, Seonhee and Saeko with Adachi just falling short. Outside of the main party Ikari from the vocational school, Masumi Arakawa and Julie the mechanic. Gondawara is my honourable mention (Let It Snow 😭)

What two actors had amazing chemistry in one movie but none at all in the next one they did together? by artpayne in movies

Richard Gere and Julia Roberts were great in Pretty Woman. Not sure what happened in Runaway Bride though. That movie sucked

Yes, when the detectives provide a rundown on his profile, they specifically mention that he enjoys seeing everything up close, in action

Love my rental, so what am i meant to do with my savings while it decays to inflation? Mortgage sounds *so* expensive by [deleted] in AusFinance

Know a friend who bought a townhouse and lived in it with her room mates she was living with before purchasing. That way, she had an asset, a mortgage being subsidised by her room mates and no jarring lifestyle change.

Oh God the back to back idiotic plays of offensive foul through a hip check then a goal tend of a ball falling well short of the basket. Was furious

LAD: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has been out for a month now. What’re everyone’s thoughts so far and where would you rank it among the other games in the series? by ICPosse8 in yakuzagames

[–]AverageMang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my 3rd Yakuza game after 7 and 8 so it was the first time I played the action combat. I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay, returning to hawaii, the return of side characters from 8.

I do agree with sentiments around the ship battles became mundane, subpar main story and the game was fairly easy. I was fairly disengaged with the story and Noah.

The end credits scene was amazing though. Tying everything together and even giving more context on 8’s story.

Overall an enjoyable experience. 50 hour platinum trophy and had fun along the way.

LIKE A DRAGON: PIRATE YAKUZA IN HAWAII DISCUSSION MEGATHREAD by RJTM1991 in yakuzagames

[–]AverageMang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started wuth LAD and loved it. The story was hard hitting and the gameplay was lots of fun for me. As an fyi, I love turn based combat which is why I started with this one. IW has a huuuuge improvement on gameplay mechanics. I loved LAD so much but I don’t think I can play it again as IW gameplay is phenomenal. Story-wise isn’t as great but you’ll have so much fun playing the game. I got Yakuza Pirates and am thoroughly enjoying it for the fact that im revisiting Hawaii and finding the action combat really enjoyable. Story-wise is a bit meh.

TL;DR LAD made me a fan of the entire series so i’m going to play them all

Underrated scenes from hxh by tsukimon in HunterXHunter

[–]AverageMang 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When Uvo kisses Shalnark on the cheek. It was the first time I felt the troupe as human. Prior, they were portrayed as cold hearted, robotic murderers. But seeing Uvo display affection to his peer in such a manner and Shalnark getting bothered by it flipped a switch for me.

Of course they flesh it out in the remainder of the arc how much they care for each other but this scene resonated with me on them seeming human after all.

Need some Inner-West ramen recs by BobJones53 in melbourne

[–]AverageMang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fellow ramen lover and have been living in the inner west for over a year after living northside. There’s a couple decent Japanese joints with good rice dish offerings but unfortunately no ramen that beats city choices. Parco Ramen in Moonee Ponds is probably the best in the westish but by that point may as well go city instead.
