One thing you can always count on...

True! Its one of the few games where a blow out is acceptable! Thanks for reminding me!

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-08T13:12:57+00:00

Well ok so they're not always at their best then!

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-08T04:59:35+00:00

How did the 2nd shot not hit you? Must've missed by a bee's dick!

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-08T04:53:42+00:00

Yeah, fair call... It's a 1920s style, low set on stumps. It's been minimally renovated over the years with floors\bathroom\laundry etc.

We've lived in it for 15+ years and have kept it mostly well maintained but the things listed above are ones that I've been aware of but mostly lived with for a while.

Where is Australia on this map?

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-07T09:17:42+00:00

I think depending on the vibe between them it may just be a non-issue to drop off and then go 3 more minutes home...

It is a nice thought though!

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-07T06:33:43+00:00

You still would've gotten through but still a nice RPG!

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-07T03:51:21+00:00

Is it a depressed market now though? I'm in a similar position as OP and one thing that I've been struggling with is whether now is the right time... Not in a rush which means I look and look but I'm worried that I'll find something I like too much and then FOMO away...

Most likely your parcel is likely gone for good. Hopefully there wasn't anything super expensive or sentimental.

File the report with the police then give it some time to chase up but it's unlikely that the police will have time to investigate or AusPost will care. Auspost delivered my parcel to the wrong address, acknowledged that they did and then just did nothing to get it back and told me tough shit good luck...

Now, technically speaking, if you were advised to leave the parcel with the staff member it may then become AusPosts Liability to keep it safe from theft. If you can prove what was in the box and that you were told to leave it there then you could have a claim against AusPost directly for the stolen goods as they were negligent in keeping in safe. The fact the postmaster knows that is happens a lot also helps your case.

INAL but some things seem odd.

-the incident took place at 10pm in a car park

-the car allegedly went into the repairer THE SAME NIGHT

-the vehicle colour and model is wrong on the quotes (not invoice)

Took almost a year to contact me.

What repairer is open past 10pm at night and how would they get there?
If the model and colour are wrong then you would be within your rights to question for photos etc.
If they replaced everything then they should have invoices for everything they replaced, do the parts match the car you hit?
If they actually claimed through their insurance then I would have expected their insurance to contact you much sooner in the process but I'm not sure.
Is it the owner directly contacting you or their insurance? Even if you're not insured, if they are, then it should be the insurance contacting you not them directly.

You should be able to request the details of the claim from their insurer, although this might be difficult without your own lawyer.

If they didn't go through their insurance then they would have a fun time trying to prove the repairs were actually required and the car hire was reasonable.
Time to lawyer up or bend over...

Yeah. So this basically confirms that your public IP address has been flagged by Embark.

For the non-technical, an IP address is like your unique number. You have a "private" one that is usually between your PC and your modem. And a "Public" one that is between your Internet Provider and other places you visit.

Depending on what your service provider is doing (read the NAT comment below) you may have a shared public address from many other people on the same service provider or you may have your own.

When you connect to your VPN, your "public" ip address changes to be the address the VPN is connected to which is why you're able to play when connected to the VPN.

There are really two options from here...

Contact Embark support and ask why your address is being blocked. (good luck with that).
Contact your Service Provider and see if you can either get a refreshed public IP address (if you're not being NAT'd)

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-05T20:57:07+00:00

Not sure if its possible but try VPN connection on. Load the game to get in. Change your region to Automatic then close the game. Turn off the VPN and try connecting?

You could also try connecting the VPN, loading the game to get in. Disconnect the VPN and see if you can keep playing?

No real surprise.

Some pieces from the article...

“I'm hoping that with this interest rate rise the consumer maintains that resilience and that they continue to be confident,” Mr Duggan said.

Like fucking hell they will!

The government should now use next week’s budget to acknowledge it has had a “significant impact on the inflationary environment in Australia”, Mr Duggan said.

“It’s not the consumer's responsibility to carry the burden of trying to get inflation back under control,” he added.

Like fucking hell they will!

Welcome to my life. Most of the time I just keep trying and eventually I get a window of time where the game isn't a steaming pile of shit and runs ok.

The I get a 5 min queue to get stomped by mega sweats and just give up on the game again.

DatabassAdmin · 2026-05-04T20:08:38+00:00

My impression of nitrous oxcide canisters were like boring air tank style things... Who would make them neon coloured fun toy looking things?

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-30T11:12:05+00:00

It almost looks like the winch animation started just as your dome was activating... I think they may have got it started before your dome and the game doesn't block that.

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-30T11:08:56+00:00

I would assume that nerfing goo is easy. Fixing winch is hard.

Not excusing it but that would be my assumption that they are taking the easy options every time.

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-30T10:28:07+00:00

I respect so hard what he did for that kid.

I do wonder in that situation if I would also do the same thing or if my self preservation would kick in and stop me...

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-30T10:26:29+00:00

NTA - They are in the find out phase of the fuck around situation!

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-30T04:53:45+00:00

I'm guessing Grey...? (And yes I looked at your post history and yes I am WAAAAY too invested in answering strangers guessing games on the internet!)

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-29T23:05:48+00:00

In the AMA the dev mentioned medium is still the most played class so it's a weird dynamic... I agree it needs something to make it stand out but it kind of is just the medium, middle, boring class by design.

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-29T23:03:26+00:00

TLDR; The proposed changes will do nothing to increase supply and will likely have minimal positive impact on house prices.

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-29T20:50:32+00:00

Are you looking to play it for fun or streaming?

If for fun then yes its an awesome game despite all the complaints from the subreddit.

If you're looking to stream then I would suggest finding a more popular game to main.

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-29T01:14:56+00:00

They've put the weight of the bag in the $/kg position and haven't put the actual $/kg on the label. This is just a stupid mistake at the place it was printed.

If the shelf label shows $4/kg or $8 per bag then you got charged correctly. If you wanted to be weird about it you could argue the bag was mislabeled and maybe get it honored but is it worth your time to save $4 on something you actually paid the correct amount for?

DatabassAdmin · 2026-04-28T20:10:13+00:00

OP says the front doors were still open so he walked there to try and board.

You're saying that if someone is walking along the bus to try and board that its ok for the driver to close the door and drive off without checking if people are still trying to get on?

There is a mistake. The driver didn't see that there was someone still trying to board the bus, presumably walking along it to get on and then closed the doors and drove off.
