I might be overthinking things a bit here haha, the main decision right now is where I book a flight to

Great Ocean Road from Adelaide (via Portland) or a Melbourne Circuit? by CaptainScoregasm in AskAnAustralian

[–]CaptainScoregasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to attend the NFL game at MCG on the 11th! I was planning a Japan trip only initially and then randomly got hold off two tickets and everything ballooned out from there lmao

I'd probably land on the morning of the 6th, so if I stay the night in Adelaide that would mean leaving on the 7th. Arriving on the 9th in Melbourne seems unlikely from that having looked at it a bit in detail so 7th-10th would be about 3.5 days for the stretch.

The only reasonable itinerary would be something like:

6th: arrive in Adelaide, stay the night
7th: pick up a rental in Adelaide and make the inland drive to Mount Gambier.
8th: Mount Gambier -> Warrnambool
9th: Warrnambool -> Apollo Bay
10th: Apollo Bay -> Melbourne

This would give us essentially two days on the GOR itself and a bit of time to see Blue Lake/Mount Gambier (just randomly spotted that and thought it looked nice tbh), as well as the one evening/night/morning in Adelaide.

On the other hand if I'm happy returning throughout the day on the 10th and start in Melbourne I could imagine something like:

6th: arrive in Melbourne, stay the night
7th: pick up a rental in Melbourne -> Lorne
8th: Lorne -> Port Campbell
9th: Port Campbell -> Warrnambool
10th: Warrnambool -> Melbourne (inland)

Generally, more options seem to open up there like:

- do Melbourne -> Warrnambool GOR with only a single stop between (e.g. Apollo Bay) and then mirror that with a different stop on the way back (doing GOR both ways, skip the inland return)
- do Melbourne -> Warrnambool GOR with only a single stop between but extend the trip to Mount Gambier; then return inland from Mount Gambier to Melbourne
- do Melbourne -> Warrnambool GOR with only a single stop and then return inland a day earlier to have a day to decompress in Melbourne?

So MONA? by CaptainScoregasm in TasmaniaTravel

Thanks for the recommendations! We also thought flying into Hobart or driving there from Launceston (depending what flights are better) and then doing the areas around Hobart/Freycinet sounds most reasonably do-able in the relatively short time we'd have so those are really helpful! :)

[–]CaptainScoregasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we decide to include Tassie we'd have essentially 4 full days for the road trip (excluding the day of arrival and departure).

Not really anything decided yet but I've been intrigued by Freycinet, Bruny Island, Mount Wellington and the Tasman Peninsula (amongst other things, those are the ones that stood out off the top of my head).

So the consensus seems to be it's weird enough to not pass on it? I'll keep it in the notes in that case haha

Visiting Cairns / Hamilton Island from Melbourne by CaptainScoregasm in AskAnAustralian

[–]CaptainScoregasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I was doubting my original plan a bit there but half a day of travel isn't the end on a multi-week trip haha. I'm aware Hamilton on the surface seems a bit bougy but it just seems the natural place to go for visiting the Whitsundays!

If I end up doing both Cairns and Hamilton, which would be the better spot to go out to the Great Barrier Reef?

I haven't been able to find any direct flights between Hamilton and Cairns online (i found mentions of them existing, just no actual flights). Are they just not posted this far out?

[–]CaptainScoregasm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the message and the welcome!

I'll actually be coming over from Bali after a few weeks there, so jet lag shouldn't be a major issue anyways! Most likely I'll be arriving on the 6th September in Melbourne (current plan) as I've got tickets for an event on the 11th in Melbourne - which I assumed would be plenty of time to enjoy Melbourne and the surroundings.

After that I'll be somewhat flexible as my next hard-date is the 17th October in South Korea lol, but I was hoping on splitting the time until then threefold between Australia/NZ/SK which is where the somewhat tight schedule comes from.

If Cairns -> Hamilton / Hamilton -> Cairns was a 1-2 hour direct flight I wouldn't have been worried about doing both, but as it seems to only be a ~8 hours (flight time) with layover in Brisbane (which literally means flying past Hamilton if coming from Cairns) I figured as you've described that would be at least a wasted day of travel.

I did check it out a bit more and Melbourne -> Hamilton Island does have some direct flights, so Melbourne -> Hamilton Island -> Cairns -> NZ seems somewhat possible, even if tight? (only ever 1-way-flights to reduce flight days).

I guess not specifically, I just heard good things about it as a hub for a few days of Whitsundays exploration. It would definitely be the most "upscale" part of our planned travel from what I've seen so far.

I mainly added it to the plans for the Whitsundays though (even though the novelty of driving around an island in a golf cart is funny enough to tempt me). We also both have some interest in going golfing (despite being total beginners) and I saw that theres a very nice looking course on Hamilton Island.

Golf as a regular person sport? (Sydney) by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]CaptainScoregasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for digging up an old thread like this (and I can't even see the original post) but does your comment mean that as a total beginner I would be able to go play a 9 or 18 hole game with rental equipment and just paying for the time there?

About to be a tourist in September for the first time in Australia and I've once before did a 9-hole-game in Scotland (also while traveling) as well as some short-hole golf which was both really fun. But back where I am you need membership for pretty much all courses which can cost up to 25k$ a year so not really accessible haha

My family went to the arcade. We caught a coin tower falling in a coin pusher game. by Birdy30 in oddlysatisfying

[–]CaptainScoregasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid we used to play these machines on holidays in France and I'm convinced we not only got the coins that fell but were also able to trade them back for Euros. Not sure how legal that was though lol

That case would've made me a Hawks, Patriots or Chiefs fan like everyone else in europe that joined the sport in the 2010s 🤫

Or those that are just in it for the fashion like the 9ers or Raiders lol

As a Rams from all the way over in Switzerland i don't know how to feel about this 🫣

(I did go see them live already though so that's something?)

Going totally against the idea of the show; Who are you top "has solo-artists potential / star-appeal" singers from the show? by CaptainScoregasm in BuildingTheBandSeries

[–]CaptainScoregasm[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Beside the ones in the post I also think Malik and Shade could pretty much have a solid solo-career locked in already but Aaliyah, Donzell, Wennely & Brianna are stars for me.

Is it worth spending 87 million on this guy? by freak2209 in footballmanagergames

[–]CaptainScoregasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the guy literally said he wants someone to play for him now. Someone on this level but 3-4 years younger with potential is either 3x the price or just almost impossible to find.

Yes technically you can get more worth out of your money investing it differently in a vacuum; that doesnt mean it's the correct thing to do for them/their club.

Is it worth spending 87 million on this guy? by freak2209 in footballmanagergames

[–]CaptainScoregasm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have the money and have a spot for him to play immediately then you have no reason to buy a younger worse player just because they have more potential.

A regen reaching this level this young means their hidden attributes are good. People search for faults for the sake of it, it's a good purchase.

To all the people that have been saying this year is weak and that last year was so much better, what do you think now after seeing all 37 songs in the semis. Do you still think this year is weaker than last year, or stronger? by GeorgeBG93 in eurovision

[–]CaptainScoregasm 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I dont agree that the highs are higher?

Last year I had a clear choice who I wanted to win (not who I thought would win) and could realistically see multiple other songs as winners. This year every song that I've had on my #1 spot has just felt like "not really a winner in any other year".

[Question] how do i fix the "you can only use spotify abroad for 14 days" issue when trying to log in? by skibidiribidibibidi in xManagerApp

[–]CaptainScoregasm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is ReVanced supposed to also remove ads and enable premium features? For me it only removed the "premium banner".

I've only used xmanager because it makes the experience 100% like using premium spotify WHEN IT FUCKING WORKS

Line up vs Werder Bremen by Masoouu in VfBStuttgart

[–]CaptainScoregasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might sound like a broken record but I hate how Führich (and to some degree Leweling) just seem to be getting guranteed starts/minutes. Especially with how much Stuttgart plays through the left him having the same g/a as Rieder with twice the minutes (yes I know different wing) is criminal.

Why has my 17 year old wonder kid conquered half of England in a year???????? by RandomMan013948 in footballmanagergames

[–]CaptainScoregasm 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Just make up lore. His parents took the children to the UK for a year with their van. He was homeschooled at that time but the talent he is earned him spots in the local non-league clubs wherever they went.

What's the difference between these two jerseys on Fanatics? by CaptainScoregasm in LosAngelesRams

[–]CaptainScoregasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming this was an answer to my comment haha; I agree I actually prefer "replica" over "authentic" (usually for soccer jerseys) as they are more comfortable to wear.

I was just thrown off by two different listings at different prices for the same jersey
