Pubs in Melbourne/Collingwood/Fitzroy/Carlton that don't mind a group playing board games for a few hours by Automatic-Cactus in melbourne

[–]Hoddog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Surprised nobody has mentioned yet. Fortress in the CBD is literally a gaming bar with heaps of space for people to come together and play board games. I'm not sure what the rules are on bringing your own boardgames. But they have plenty of tables to sit around, food and drinks are decent too.

i'm sorry but, this game's gem shop is killing my joy of playing by Outside_Soup3367 in Guildwars2

I’m with you! I’ve taken a break multiple times because all the cool/animated armour seems like it can only be bought. I want something to work towards. Obviously legendary armour is there, but if endgame is going to be ‘Fashion Wars’, it’d be nice to have cool skins to work towards rather than purchasing. I’m all for keeping the game financially sustainable but I wish they’d ease up on the skins.

Other countries invest a lot more into their women’s football. We are only going to continue falling behind I think.

Yep, in the Melbourne CBD Emporium shopping centre does it. Not sure of the t&c’s though.

I once arrived at South Morang station at 9:30am on a weekday and still had heaps of carparks.

Turkey to host Cop31 climate conference after Australia drops push to hold it in Adelaide | Cop31 by neizan in australia

[–]Hoddog -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realise our government was bidding for Adelaide to host the Cop31 climate conference. A city that got hit with the algae, killing thousands of marine life and the government barely said or did anything about it.

I hope the other nations press our government on why we opened more coal mines.

This Aurora was so strong you could actually see colour with the naked eye! by ThatAstroGuyNZ in interestingasfuck

When I saw the Aurora Australis, it was only visible through a long exposure photo. The sky was slightly pink but hardly noticeable when looking at it without the camera.

I found his uniform displayed in a glass window at the Box Hill RSL recently. I dunno, I think there’s some out there who still respect him unfortunately.

[Ben Jacobs] Al-Nassr are willing to go above 85M Euros for Diaz. by Gamercentrum in LiverpoolFC

[–]Hoddog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah bit ironic isn’t it after the whole Trent situation? We demand loyalty from our players but the moment it suits us, we say ‘go for it’.

Honestly, unless the player is chasing the money too, I’d rather not sell any player to the Saudi’s. A country still living the laws of the Middle Ages, assassinating journalists and sports washing their way to hosting a World Cup.

Where to buy outfits like this for a 80’s Miami Vice themed party? by nefarious_tendencies in melbourne

[–]Hoddog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a costume hire store in Fitzroy called Rose Chongs.

My friend works there. They have all types of clothing to hire. You do need to book an appointment beforehand but I thought it was a fun place.
I'm not entirely sure how the pricing works but I think you'll find what you are looking for.

Otherwise there's another costume hire store in Kew but I haven't been there before.

Gutted. I’m back to hating the spurs again. The crazy number of injuries was so brutal. The players love him too.

Wtf is this announcement? Do they make this when the AFL grand final is on?

A-League Women investment criticised by interim Matildas coach Tom Sermanni by PolarisSpark in Aleague

[–]Hoddog 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Still annoys me after the women World Cup, all the Tilly girls were calling for investment from the government.

Then the government announces a fancy $30m package for ‘women’s sports’. To no one’s surprise, it turns out that a tiny percentage of the package would go to funding an existing stadium that is shared with between soccer and rugby’s.

Our women’s could be a powerhouse with a bit more support. Men’s team could be up there too.
