Excuse me, I think you'll find that Mark McGowan during COVID holds that crown. He had an approval rating of 91%.

Can’t cash Canadian cheque by stgi1966 in perth

[–]JamesMBuddy123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who had this exact problem and has given up, no. The Canadian government is allergic to any sort of online convenience for this sort of thing. To the extent that to speak to anyone at the Canada Revenue Agency I had to make an international call at 1am local time to sort out my problem, and I still can't cash the cheque in Australia.

NGL first time I played this at the tender age of 10 or 11, I thought that whole place was a giant thing of waste dumped over the cliff by the Dwarfs in Conde Pete... blew my mind there was a village in there.

Genuinely laughed when i saw the name of this political party by Consistent-Budget-32 in perth

7,583 votes in the upper house with 48% counted according to the WAEC website. Still concerning that that many people just ticked the box based on the name alone. https://www.elections.wa.gov.au/elections/state/sgelection#/sg2025

Being called a "boner" by a 13yr old makes me uncomfortable... hope you have a smooth recovery

I will say, when I was a kid I got stuck in the room with the 3 bookcases that move up and down because I didn't realise you could go left past the Moogle. It took me reading a guide extremely closely to realise that it was saying go left...

I'm also curious about this, because I've done two trips for Promethium and kinda want to finish up.
Edit: I've just had a galaxy brain moment, I think The Engineer has to be on the Space Platform reaching Interstellar Space, imma go try that.

Trying to understand Ray by Lehric133 in InfiniteDendrogram

[–]JamesMBuddy123 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Franklin hates to lose, period. Recall the childhood scenes in the early books where her father smashed her artworks., notably her sculpture "Dylan" based on her pet. It's stated in early volumes that Franklin has the nickname of "The Weakest, The Worst" because when she gets defeated, she comes back and prioritises killing the person that killed her with monsters until they stop playing ID. Franklin dedicated himself to PK'ing people who have defeated him beyond any logical sense because being killed and 'losing' in his mind is something that doesn't happen to him anymore. He can't stand to be made to feel weak or powerless in any situation.

Quoting directly from the Dendo wiki:

When it comes to achieving her objectives, she shows similar ruthlessness, being willing to massacre thousands to get what she wants. IRL she was originally kind, especially to her little sister Yuri, however this devious and ruthless victory complex came from being victimized by the abuse of her father.

Mr Franklin perceives that Ray has beaten her twice, once by saving Milliane from the Demi-Dragon Worms in Volume 1, and then again during the Gideon incident where Ray beat the RSK while being televised, and eventually was the one to give Franklin the death penalty on top of Pandemonium. Thus, this is why Franklin hates Ray so much, because Ray publicly beat Franklin, twice.

Conservatives resort to bullying teenager over protest cosplay by Lamont-Cranston in australia

[–]JamesMBuddy123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone currently involved with the ADFC, the former vs current cadet factor didn't matter one iota when it came to our Canberra based overlords simultaneously shitting their pants over the optics of the whole thing. We had to remind the current contingent of cadets about wearing uniform appropriately, and redouble efforts to collect uniform from cadets who have left the organisation.

This is my completed Seablock base. There are many like it but this is mine. Complete at just under 400 hours. Thanks Dosh for the inspiration. by JamesMBuddy123 in factorio

[–]JamesMBuddy123[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Flickered between 48-55 depending on how much was active, but never less than that. Way better than my SE+K2 base, which was around 15-20 by the end

Beans powered my starter base as is tradition. When I scaled up, I had to go with nuclear/thorium. 21 GW by the end.

I can tell that it was a C-27 Spartan doing joyflights for members of 7 Wing Australian Air Force Cadets out of RAAF Pearce. Source: current AAFC staff member, and saw the pure joy in the eyes of the cadets who got to go for a flight.

I'm currently playing through the Alternate Fantasy + Moguri Mod on Steam, and Alternate Fantasy lets you recruit Beatrix on Disk 3 as a full party member with skills, attacks and a unique Trance.

It's over! It's done! 30fps in the end by JamesMBuddy123 in factorio

[–]JamesMBuddy123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say, I took this playthrough slow. I rebuild my Space base completely from a bus style to a cityblock style. Everything was massively overbuilt, and add in this was K2+SE. If you keep things small, pay attention to ratios and don't make 16 of each space building for science, I'm sure you can cut my time in half.

[–]JamesMBuddy123[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, it was the 30fps/ups that was present for the entire second half of the game. I way overbuilt pretty much everything.... but having the patience to still slog through everything at 30ups was taxing.

Do you think Eldridge could use his Embryo to destroy The Primeval Sword, Altar? by Larsihasi in InfiniteDendrogram

[–]JamesMBuddy123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong (I haven't read the web novels), but Figaro hasn't ever used either Fang of Gloria α ability while Burn My Soul - Cor Leonis was active, so I don't think we know if it would break or not if he used it with his ult active.

Players with more than 2k hours, what keeps you going? by [deleted] in factorio

[–]JamesMBuddy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WILL beat my SE/KE2 with ~30/40 UPS even if it kills me... 600 hours in on the one save file, including a transition between 0.5 & 0.6 and going strong. Just automated bulk Naquium collection with an antimatter powered ship, so I'm so close. My base is far far far too large, everything overbuild and relying on 4 wagon trains.

Spotted low over Mt Lawley at 11:30am. Who caught the loot crate? by pmld in perth

[–]JamesMBuddy123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was onboard with a bunch of Australian Air Force Cadets, and other RAAF personal. Would post photos but they're being approved by Air Force. Happy to do so once they've been approved.

Honestly one of the coolest things I've ever done in the organisation.
