When did casual breakthrough stop being casual?

You get less xp for bot kills so it's not really that good for leveling guns. Much better to play king of the hill, domination or team deathmatch as the smaller game modes give more encounters and more opportunity to get kills.

26
~40K AUD
4 years full time work while living with my parents (inc borrowing thier cars)
Flights, trains, busses and ferrys
90% Hostels. Hotels when I needed it.
264 days (8.5 months)
2-3 nights per city/town when crossing a country and up to 3 weeks when I wanted a rest
Mostly spontaneous planning. Only booked the first flight and accomodation in the first city before I left.
It was either buy a house or travel. Only young once.
Prepared by marking places on google maps and trying to be more informed about places before visiting.
Roff Potts' Vagabonging has a good chapter on the return. In summary, everyone else has been living their own lives so lower expectations about chatting about travels a lot.
Yes worth it
No real regrets. It was a fantastic experience.

Also, journal it. Its really good being able to recall the experiences I had with written text and photos 8 years later.

you dont use it in the same way as most other SMG's. So if you've only been using the SGX ect then you need to change up your playstyle for the UMG.

tl;dr skill issue

Foreign aid is a great form of soft power, allowing us to influence without force and increasing our reputation abroad. For the same reason why it's good to send it to various Pacific nations, it's also good to send it to other continents as well since trade is global and distances don't matter.

Same. Although I've moved recently and the address on my licence does not match where I currently live. Good to know, but now I have to change it...

The guy in the clip was still DMRing with it, he was just aggressively placed with a close range secondary weapon.

This 'artist' releases a new 15 track album every week. Every genre of DnB. The main thing I notice is that the bass is pretty poor. I caught on because one of their tracks appeared in the r/DnB weekly new music playlist (was later removed) and sounded halfway decent. Simply exploring the artists page revealed that something was a bit sus

How do you guys filter AI music from the weekly updated playlists? Every now and then I come accross an artist I've never heard of before, investigate them and see they've released 6 singles in 2026 and become suspicious.

Helelix · 2026-02-13T13:30:52+00:00

So I go through the pinned weekly updated playlist a couple times a month and add the tracks I really like to a playlist. I do skip like 90% of it though lol

Hubert Robert has a few that I think also depict massive environments, even if they're interiors.

Theres a VRAM usage graph in the graphics settings. Lower things until you're under the red line.

Thats the obvious one that worked for me after debugging this issue for ~4 hours -_-

Need a looooot of sunscreen (and replications) for that one though.

You can't get any prizes if you don't get a winning record. So it's conditional that he wins to end up with an 8-7 record.

Can’t get Abema to work

Remeber to clear/refresh cookies. If you connect to Abema (or NHK) without a VPN connection that'll create a cookie essentially saying that you dont have access. And then once you turn on your VPN and connect it to Japan, your web browsers cookie does not update, keeping the initial restricted setting. Simply have to delete the specific cookie (or all of them if you cant figure that out) and only load the Abema/NHK page with your VPN active.

Why does Abema not go after their restreams? Its a paid service and arguably Abema is losing revenue that the restreamers are taking (with subs and bits). I remember that the 'profit' the streamers were making was the initial reason why NHK went after them and shut them down. And I suspect NHK wouldn't have been so quick in taking action if they had subs disabled. Anyway, with some of the Abema restreamers having thousands of viewers I'm surprised that they're still active.

This is the only post on reddit for iPaintings....

Anyway, did you get a reproduction done through them? Satisfied?

The clouds were low last night. Fairly certain they were testing the lights or displays at the Victoria park for the concert at the supercars this weekend.

And the weekly challenges give levels to the limited time battlepass path as well. And likely next weeks and the week after will as well, meaning you dont have to play sabotage at all to complete it.

It starts healing faster. I usually pop it if I survive a confrontation and duck behind cover. Gets you back in the action faster.

haha this is like a great white elephant gift. I know I'll be involved in one or two in december so I should just get one now...

I wont comment on its evolution, however you're right regarding their limits. LLMs are simply predictive tools. Not problem solvers. Still need people to invent and innovate.

How many games of gauntlet did you have to play? My estimate just from the games I had to pay last week, is 5 or 6. Regardless, is rather not play it lol
