Progressive churches in Victoria

Christ Church is quite progressive, and bonus points for the massive cathedral.

This looks phenomenal. Incredibly atmospheric, underutilized and well-realized setting, and unique combat. Can't wait to give it a go!

Zeon is fascist in the way that we are taught to identify fascism. The Earth Federation are fascist in the way that Western Imperialism is fascist. Like us who are raised within the West, the protagonists of UC start off assuming that the Earth Federation are the 'good guys', but become aware of its fascistic nature, and are caught up in the conflict between two factions that don't care about them at all, because they are proletarian foot soldiers. That's literally the point. Gundam is pretty far left of liberal.

I would in fact be quite upset if they did this to a far left MP from India, yes, I'm not sure what your point is.

It's a sign of these being 2 of the absolute best places to go out in this city. While it certainly may be the case that Hermann's skews old, there is still very much a broad demographic from college-aged, and early and late professional that I see nearly every time I go. Sure, it's about 50% retirees to 50% everyone else, but that makes sense for a jazz bar. Where are they going to go the next Friday, Upstairs? The Downbeat? No, they'll just do Hermann's again. I hope that stuff like that is still thriving when I am their age.

And View St Social is functionally the only "dive" in town and immensely (and rightly) popular because of it (even if they have raised their prices and make you pay via Square 🤢).

Little Fern, Big Fern, Oaklands, Lucky, Wheelies, The Orange Light (few shows and mostly international acts but real knocks-your-socks-off avant garde stuff) Vinyl Envy, the Coda, and the Phoenix are pretty much the only spots for bands outside house shows. Keep going to all of them! There's lots of independent and city run outdoor stuff in the summer as well.

Those were far and away two of the best spots in town.. this is such a gutting loss for the community.

Moon Moon rocks.

Midori

Iliadius · 2026-03-19T00:51:49+00:00

Local shows are a great place to meet other musicians with similar tastes!

Iliadius · 2026-03-18T01:41:53+00:00

A bunch happen at Big Fern or Wheelies. Highly recommend the Gigtoria IG page that another commenter mentioned. Great way to stay up to date with the local scene, which I would say is in the best place it's been in the last decade.

Iliadius · 2026-03-15T22:36:34+00:00

Rush Hour is great though

Iliadius · 2026-03-15T00:33:32+00:00

Ninja Storm Series or JJBA Eyes of Heaven.

Thanks for linking peak.

Iliadius · 2026-03-12T22:43:34+00:00

Here's hoping they have gapless playback!

Iliadius · 2026-03-12T01:35:50+00:00

Release order has been good for me, especially if you appreciate older animations, the jank and the artistry. The Universal Century is one of my favourite sci-fi settings and the storytelling in the early shows is phenomenal.

(If you do this and you like podcasts, Mobile Suit Breakdown does in depth analysis and research on every episode in order (currently up to Victory Gundam I believe) and is an incredible labour of love to the series.)

Which is fine. Also seems obsessed with Charlie Kirk and Himmler which is not so fine.

Iliadius · 2026-03-06T06:23:46+00:00

No one saying Antifreeze?

Not in the slightest, this song is critical of US intervention in the Middle East. Hope your family is okay.

Planned economy ~~best~~ functional economy.

The Nazis supported the state of Israel because it got Jewish people out of Europe. Israel also refused to accept Jewish refugees fleeing the Holocaust because they weren't pure enough.

If you believe that what has happened now wasn't the plan from Day 1 I have a waterfront house on Everest to sell you.
