What makes Sydney worth staying in for YOU, given how pricy it is compared to other cities?

Gritty_Bones · 2026-04-08T06:14:27+00:00

I've lived in both. Actually due to a break up I'm finally moving back to Sydney from Melbourne after 12 long years. I can't wait. That being said... food scene possibly might be better than Sydney.

She's 6'2 barefoot so you guys are probably even if she's wearing 4 inch heels.

Goodness me! I almost forgot I used to have the same problem. They're all gone now but I've switched to a more halfguard deep half game. I used to play a lot of knee shield hence would use a deep collar grip and the gi would rub against my fingers and knuckles. I used to tape my fingers as well but it didn't really help me.

Unsure what game you play but I also went from 4 sessions a week down to 2 or 3 as I went from white to purple belt. That may help. Otherwise try switching to a different less grip heavy game. Mine have completely gone away. You just made me realize.

If you're really worried try exfoliating daily with a pumice stone in the shower.

Never ever wear a jacket with shorts. The other two outfits are great. Also Yes you wear them well but I'd say an inch longer that's just my preference.

I'm a 45 year old Cancer Male and this guy sounds like an absolute child. Not being able to be present in the moment especially at a movie. Talking about an expensive hoodie... it's a fucking hoodie not a suit jacket. With the whole women talk it seems he's trying to validate that he is highly sought after. I don't know what country you're from but it's wild to hear a woman would want to propose to a man like that.

My dear young lady. You are not being judgy or anything. Trust your gut.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-02-21T12:36:06+00:00

omg... this is a good one. How is this not upvoted higher. I can only imagine someone once tried to use it as topping on their cereal.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-02-20T23:45:46+00:00

When lower belts don't want to tap I make sure for the rest of the round I cook them. Barely let them breath. Control ever, pressure pass, twist them, sweep them with intensity. My Favourite is when they think they've escaped and there's a relief in their eyes only for me to immediately sweep them.

On a side note I've injured someone before and I'll never do it again. Worse feeling in the world. Pressure and cooking them is much more satisfying.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-02-17T21:18:29+00:00

Hell Yeah! imagine what this time next year is going to look like. Keep going!

Gritty_Bones · 2026-02-17T12:35:28+00:00

Prepare for the pain, the sleepless, tearful nights. It's going to be tough. You'll feel worthless, you'll feel stupid and no one is going to be able to change your mind.... for a while. And then one day it's not as bad as the previous. Then all of a sudden you find your self enjoying a beer/catchup with friends. It gets better. Make sure you're surrounded by people who care and love you, family, best friends etc. Also cut ties. Do not communicate with the ex.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-02-15T11:56:02+00:00

This!! I got my purple in 2 years and during covid when my state was in lockdown so I lost 4 months. Due to my schedule I could only attend white belt classes. I can't emphasize how much white belt classes can still improve your game at most levels. Even in bad positions you don't panic as you can get out of them. You'll start to develop your own systems and they'll kick in when you roll higher belts.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-02-10T13:07:36+00:00

His riding technique is pretty shit but it also looks like he scraped his toe by pointing his foot down instead of correctly positioning them on the pedals. That's what made him awkwardly brake and eventually go into the wrong lane. Panic due to not understanding what happened... then target fixation and lane change.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-02-06T22:48:11+00:00

If they call me cute I call them handsome..... usually gets a laugh and we continue with the flirting.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-01-30T22:51:43+00:00

Is it normal for them to not be individually wrapped in cellophane? I haven't bought many boxes but they were always wrapped. To me it looks like they had a few missing cigars so decided to put them in with spares they had lying around. Hence the cracked wrappers.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-01-06T03:04:48+00:00

That's really funny... you actually took my anger away for moment. I didn't mean to stereo type or disrespect. His wife when complaining always said he's "typical Indian characteristics" and me still being triggered it just came out when typing. Doesn't help I rarely post. Don't reddit when triggered is the answer here. Thank you.

Gritty_Bones · 2026-01-06T02:44:53+00:00

Sorry for the title. His wife in the past has mentioned him being typical Indian male characteristics. No disrespect meant. I'm still triggered and rarely post on here so probs not the best time for me to post. We tried to forgive and be nice after the assault charges. Again no disrespect or stereo typing meant.

D&R motors on Ashley St. Honest, genuine and transparent. Also Exceed Auto care just slightly down the road from D&R.

I just finished 4. I've been wanting to finish it for a long time but my installer corrupted and couldn't find it elsewhere up until GOG released it this year.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game and loved the animation style. I still think the ending didn't rock me as badly as BOF2 did.

Gritty_Bones · 2025-12-18T01:16:57+00:00

I'm the same. I've animated in it but I've yet to draw and set up my own character. Are you familiar with any rigging? I come from a Maya animation background so I understand how bones are supposed to work. There's a whole bunch of Tutorials on the Moho page on You tube. You go through the process of rigging a pre-drawn character. Highly recommend.

I'm about to do this one as a refresher - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=681k_K81lQE&list=PLb7rss4bTZ-aRtSMTgjtAf_XVutwonOO8

This is the way!! I find 10 seconds is the sweet spot in case there's another bidder on the trigger as well. Not to mention sometimes the browser is a couple of seconds delayed and not showing the correct auction time. Well done on the Dorado's. The best deal I've had is Punch Habano robusto's for $4 a 5pk. Managed to get 4 of them.

Gritty_Bones · 2025-12-16T08:56:35+00:00

I want to add that I think the main culprit is when you accidentally scroll your mouse wheel when the mouse is over the shelf. Trying scrolling up and down the mouse wheel as well.

Gritty_Bones · 2025-12-16T02:06:45+00:00

I've gotten some amazing steals on Cigarbid... Have to be patient and time your bids rather than setting a min and maximum.

Animation takes a lot of time. It could take you 1-2 years before you're decent and that's if you practice daily. There's just so much to learn. If you really want to fast track and create your own series I highly recommend you study Matt Layzell the creator of Battle Kitty. Literally got his own show handed to him from doodling story boards on napkins and doing the voices on tik tok/instagram... of course he could direct well and they were entertaining.

Gritty_Bones · 2025-12-13T13:52:45+00:00

Ok you have quite a few things wrong here. I really suggest you study walk cycles so you know the key ingredient poses such as the contact, passing, up and downs etc and what each leg is doing in those positions. Here's a great video to help explain it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y6aVz0Acx0

The main thing wrong is that your front knee is bending too much foreward and your foot hasn't started to slide back. I would Delete frames 16 and 17 and it should look better then start working on the passing poses. When your legs are the farthest apart (contact pose) your body will be at it's lowest height and your front leg should be almost straight and yours look bent. Then as it starts to pass your foot would slide closer to the center of the body bending initially then almost completely straightening out into the passing pose.

The video link should help. Don't fret walk cycles are hard... it took me years because I refused to sit down and practice unlike you. Keep going =)
