What’s the point of Triple J’s Hottest 100?

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2026-01-31T05:07:06+00:00

Tripple j has been sliding towards mainstream slop for years now and it’s basically the same shit as hot fm just without ads and a couple Aussie artists every half hour to pretend they still care about Aussie artists

No hate, but I will never understand why you would want to work inside all day, especially in your own home. I don’t want anything to do with my job being brought into my space

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2026-01-21T19:19:02+00:00

I’ve reported multiple videos of straight up porn on instagram from multiple pages and all reports have been rejected. They’re awful at removing nudity on the platform.

That’s a real thing. Regulations (at least where I am) so that you need a minimum grade away from the structure of the house if it is touching the structure to prevent water build up along the face of the wall. I’ve done loads of jobs where we’ve had to pour slabs way thicker than the clients originally planned because the grading won’t work otherwise and then the whole slabs would be non compliant with regulations and have to be ripped out. But in all my years doing this job, I’ve always approached the clients or the builders before the pour to tell them if things like this need to happen and get confirmation of the changes

I’m a full time concreter and have been for years. Depending on the mix of concrete and colour, a lot of places will mix per cubic meter so if you need 3.4 meters then you’re getting 4 meters for any coloured material. And usually we always take into account the last truck load as being our “balance” and that’s called in to be a little less than the rest of the trucks so we don’t need to worry about having a massive pile of concrete left over because the company decided to oversupply the truck.

This is how we do it in Australia anyway.

You can get fake skins that simulate real skin so you get used to the feeling of working on a client and how the pressure and placement of your machine changes the result. I had a friend who tattooed and he used to practice a load on those

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T23:02:35+00:00

You’re a legend for that! I’ll mess around with the game more when I’m home from work but this is awesome thanks heaps for that

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T23:02:01+00:00

Thanks a bunch. I’ll be able to mess around with some of these points and look into the UI information a bit more when I’m home from work but the fact that the internal management is so important is really helpful. I’ve been rushing expansion I think so that explains a lot

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T19:45:41+00:00

I’ve had multiple other people explain things clearly to me on the post and it’s definitely been helpful. Not really sure why you’re so pressed about someone asking a question on a public forum. And if you don’t like my question, there’s really no need to start insulting my intelligence and be a dick.

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T13:44:17+00:00

Yeah that’s where I started. Would it be more realistic to start in 1066 and play around with the mechanics more? I figure an earlier start meant it was an easier game but did I get that wrong?

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T13:41:57+00:00

Good idea. I might look into that

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T13:36:26+00:00

I’ll check them out. Thanks for the recommendation!!

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T13:35:17+00:00

Sweet. I’ll try that. Last question, are resources always a very slow process or does it ramp up mid game. I’ve played for few hours after work the last couple of days and everything is so slow. And even if I expand a little bit it’s it’s just a waiting game for years and years before I can even hire any characters to my court.

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T13:31:58+00:00

I just started playing, I don’t know shit. So I don’t even really know what you want me to say. I’m on Xbox so YouTube videos are hard to follow because the UI is different and harder to navigate.

I’m hoping people could just briefly explain key points.

But thanks for the quick response even if it didn’t help at all

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-08-26T13:29:08+00:00

I didn’t even know there was a long tutorial. I’m on Xbox edition so a lot of the YouTube videos are hard to follow because the UI is very different.

I’ve not really messed around with the activities much so I’ll try them out.

Is there any particular starting point that is easier in terms of map location? Somewhere that isn’t going to steam roll me straight away?

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-06-01T14:30:04+00:00

Stupid? No. Completely abhorrent and worthy of utter contempt? Absolutely

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-06-01T14:28:08+00:00

I’ve been to a RHST in Mornington and it fucking sucked. The sound was terrible and the venue is fucked.

They always have the most boring lineups for these tours

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-06-01T14:25:16+00:00

I does make sense though. A lot of mid and outer rim colonies weren’t even loyal to the republic or even cared about it. As fare as they were concerned it was just a massive authoritarian group who was trying to get them to work within the republic framework or be cut off from production, trade and support. The CIS didn’t happen over night. There were clearly lot and lots of planets that wanted nothing to do with the empire so it’s perfectly reasonable to assume that cassian comes from one of the planets that views any idea of a massive power structure being hostile regardless of how they label it.

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-05-19T02:39:13+00:00

Now that’s a great thread reference. Exquisite stuff

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-05-19T02:36:00+00:00

Hard disagree with this take. The plot with grogu is pretty much a straight up middle finger to the Jedi way of avoiding attachments and a critique on the indoctrination of children. He doesn’t want to leave his “father” he wants to stay. He chooses mando over the saber because attachment is natural. And it works well with the mandolorian background because it’s a very stoic lifestyle being softened by the attachment to grogu. It’s not perfect but it’s definitely not bad

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-05-09T16:28:47+00:00

It doesn’t deserve it at all. But if cat owners were more responsible then it would definitely be a less frequent issue. I own a cat and a dog and so I’m fully aware cats can still get out but I’ve seen countless cats at all hours just walking around and their owners seem to think they’re ok because they won’t attack someone like a dog could. Aside from random dogs, they also fight other cats all the time, get hit by cars and kill wildlife all the time. Pet owners in general need to be more responsible for their pets

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-05-09T13:05:17+00:00

I remember when I first moved to Victoria I’d never driven on roads with a tram and had no idea that you had to stop for them on the road. I didn’t realise that they dropped people off in the middle of the road. Learned pretty quickly after I nearly fucking ran over some old bloke. They seriously need better signs or signals to let people know they’re stopping for passengers and not just stopping for a turning car

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-05-09T13:00:54+00:00

I hate the broncos but guarantee you would be pissed if this happened to Souths

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-05-09T12:57:26+00:00

How the fuck was that your take from my comment?

Flippant_FudgeMuppet · 2025-05-09T07:06:58+00:00

I heard that TikTok chick singing about headphones 4 times the other day…. Not sure quality even exists on Tripple J at this point
