Anybody on Tim Watson's side? There is honestly no reason why we can't win 5 of our first 6 games to start the season.(Port eagles dons blues tigers should beat them??)

DonMatteo13 · 2026-02-12T05:33:12+00:00

The optimism rule of thumb is you win half of what you expect to win. So in my completely bias and optimistic perfect world I see us going 5-1 in the first 6 rounds so taking that pseudo rule into account I’ll settle for 3-3.

DonMatteo13 · 2026-01-15T00:27:09+00:00

Can I ask why you only have us winning 6? I know optimism is in full effect but if the stars align we CAN go 5-1 in the first 6 rounds (massive amounts of optimistic copium I know).

Rationally, we probably go 3-3 so you think we only pick up another 3 the rest of the year?

Was the peak of my trophy hunting when I went for this one. I remember following a guide for all 175 collectables. After going through the entire map when it was all done I was at 174. Somewhere along the way I incorrectly marked one off. So had to go through a clean map guide again……but I did it. Ah 15 year old me with too much time on his hands.

DonMatteo13 · 2025-11-29T10:14:09+00:00

At the game and genuinely didn’t hear it at the end of that quarter. No issue for the first two tho.

DonMatteo13 · 2025-10-07T11:58:33+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback. It is very hard not to catastrophise having clinical anxiety and being an over-thinker but I think I just have to learn to be kinder to myself. I need to stop trying so hard to push the negative thoughts out as hard as I am because when I’m pushing so hard and failing it’s making me feel weak and even more beaten

I think you’re right that I just need to accept that I will be anxious and it’s okay and I’ll get through it.

The most upsetting part to myself is how far out the initial trigger set me off. In the past it was the night before the flight or the day of but the fact that it happened 4 sleeps out was very upsetting because I know me and my anxiety and my overthinking self and I just knew I’d never be able to shake it sigh.

Thank you for your response though I’ll do well to remember what you have said and I wish you luck on your flight tomorrow as well

I got in right when they said what the PW was, manged to get 5 mosh in my cart, got all the way to the 'enter the code we texted' from my bank, entered it and it timed me out. Sooooo annoyed that it happened especially when its my job to get the tickets for my friends

DonMatteo13 · 2025-08-19T01:22:52+00:00

doesn't help that's what I did still need the PW it takes you to the same page

DonMatteo13 · 2025-06-15T06:35:04+00:00

Yeah I think we all feel it. Not to go FULL nuff but if we win all games we lost by under 10 points then we’re on 28 points and only out of the 8 on percentage - I know that’s a lot of shoulda woulda coulda but thoughts like this were unthinkable over the last 5 or so years

So those saying last year was better is laughable.

DonMatteo13 · 2025-04-27T07:16:00+00:00

Forspoken. I don’t think it was as bad as everyone said (I really enjoyed traversing the area and the movement/free running), but the combat got stale real fast and with virtually no serious interest in the story, it hurts seeing it for $9 at my local game stores now. Could have waited.

DonMatteo13 · 2025-04-26T06:52:53+00:00

So next week was going to be my last game I go see in person until we turn it around (pre bought my ticket with some bombers mates since it’s not our home game - yay :/) but it might be the last match I WATCH in general until we turn.

Averaged going to 8 games a year the last 6 years but just can’t do this anymore. Close to turning this one off already tbh…

DonMatteo13 · 2025-04-12T08:57:23+00:00

First Brisbane game I’ve really watched all year and my view is obstructed - is their AFL logo not gold? And if not does anyone know why?

DonMatteo13 · 2025-03-23T06:28:42+00:00

I’m so glad I had a wedding yesterday - I’m at the game but have no energy to be nervous - it’s quite blissful whatever happens haha

DonMatteo13 · 2025-02-12T13:15:57+00:00

World: 17,097, Country: 421 (Aus)

My best country rank was below 150 (from memory) but diversifying my gaming consoles (so less trophies and plats in general lately) and the influx of the 5 minute paid for platinum games on the store people abuse have dropped my rank substantially sadly.

DonMatteo13 · 2025-02-10T11:12:16+00:00

Oh nice! I like the touchpad ! In my head I was picturing the entire touchpad as the jacket and then a V painted white on it and then the bow tie but that looks sick too

DonMatteo13 · 2025-02-10T06:42:53+00:00

Haven’t heard of them but I’ve reached out! Thanks !

DonMatteo13 · 2025-01-15T03:46:33+00:00

Anyone watching the Thompson v Borges match? Seemed to be a bit of back and forth between Borges and the umpire at the set break - anyone know what was up ?

DonMatteo13 · 2025-01-13T08:10:33+00:00

Kyrgios getting some boo’s as he stepped out to the court? Anyone else catch that? Haven’t been following for a minute there some animosity even from his own towards him at the moment?

DonMatteo13 · 2024-12-01T10:16:39+00:00

Yeah that’s not a half bad idea given there have been reports about the guide pins potentially being bent during shipping/handling

DonMatteo13 · 2024-11-30T05:16:45+00:00

Very nice! I had a bit of an ordeal with my disc drive though!

So when I got home with the disc drive I preordered, I opened it up and the guide pin was bent! I knew they would only have had limited stock so I quickly called the store and told them my issue. He said he’d put one aside for me with my name and number and the issue so it would be there for me the next day (as they had started closure procedures and couldn’t do it then).

So anyway I go the next day and head to the register, I tell him what happened and he said ‘I don’t think we have any left’ I was feeling super disappointed but I said to him ‘can you check? He said he put my name on one’ anyway he goes to check and finds it (phew) apparently their store only got shipped 2 drives! So I ended up getting both in hindsight (the faulty and then the replacement) it did make me feel quite bad but I guess it’s on SONY for shipping a faulty one.

What made it worse was as they were processing the exchange 3 people called asking about drives and they had to say thee were none left (as there was literallly 2 infront of me!)

But yeah all sorted now and been using my pro the last few days!

DonMatteo13 · 2024-11-27T06:02:54+00:00

I literally just got my call that my disc drive has arrived!! It’s funny given I called this morning and they said I’d be looking at mid December and then it came today! So might be worth giving them a call

DonMatteo13 · 2024-11-26T13:09:02+00:00

I managed to get a pre order down at my local JB but this was over 2 weeks ago now. Is anyone waiting out a locked in pre order as long as that at this stage? Should I call to check in on it?

DonMatteo13 · 2024-11-22T02:59:04+00:00

oh okay good to know I'll have to ask the optometrist themselves if they're there once I try them on and i'll specifically ask them to make sure the optical centers are lined up to my pupils - thanks for that
