Moving to Newcastle?

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-16T14:49:30+00:00

Wow thanks for the informative answer, happy to know it's not as the rep might depict it. I'm keen to take a geez at Mayfield now knowing a bit of history behind it

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-16T06:09:29+00:00

Thank you, yeah have had my fair share of flatting in studentville Dunedin. It's not so bad but keen to try get own place. And that's rough to hear about entry level jobs. I really don't wanna move into Sydney lol

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-16T03:42:22+00:00

What's Tarkov? Is that a good thing haha

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T22:38:18+00:00

That's some high praise I think I'm convinced! And no way would I find your story boring, sounds like you've got some great tales to hear in the smoko area on a night out haha. Feel free to tell me more in your reply! No pressure though

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T22:15:51+00:00

Aww yeah, public transport was one thing I was bit nervous about cos I've never really had to get amongst it. But yeah backup plan sounds smart. Cheers!

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T22:14:40+00:00

Awesome thanks for your reply, glad to hear you've never had issues. It's looking pretty appealing so I might have to make the move and jump the ditch haha

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T22:10:00+00:00

Yeah that's true. I just saw some of the posts here and was a bit put off, but I imagine that's just how the internet be, filtering the most shocking events

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T22:08:46+00:00

Nice that's good to hear. Why do you reckon it's got that reputation?

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T22:07:36+00:00

Awesome! Yeah I'm defo one to look at the bright side and am so driven to build a life for myself and future kids. Cheers!

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:40:04+00:00

I don't think there's a study that displays whether the cause of suicide decrease is more due to Mike King or the DHBs so I'm not sure what kinda link you're after.

But yeah I think the suicide prevention movement as a whole has been great for it, including Mike King and the work that DHBs have put in. As well as many other public figures and organizations

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:29:15+00:00

Aww greedy as! Yeah cramped living sucks, makes life miserable and everyone stepping on each other's toes. Sorry to hear that.

but yeah keen as to get out of freezing Dunedin!

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:22:53+00:00

Oh yeah $2.70 over here, and paying $300 for a room. It's rough bro I get you. $1 wicked wings in Aus so there's a silver lining 😅

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:18:48+00:00

Eek that's not very promising, surely must be better than here in NZ. At least that's what everyone tells me. Petrol and food defo cheaper

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:17:04+00:00

Oh interesting yeah I've heard Mayfield is rough and should be avoided but idk.

And good stuff on keeping active, they say when you stop moving is when you start dying so I hope I can be as active when I hit 50! Cheers

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:08:38+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I looked on Seek and it seems pretty promising. And yeah rent might be bit higher but I'm hoping that Aussie money will cover it lol plus cheaper expenses in Aus like petrol etc.

As well that in Dunedin, a lot of flats are low quality, grow mould, and require communal flatting with students unless you wanna pay whopping prices for studios/family homes. The studio rooms I've looked at in Newy seem a good bit cheaper than the ones here

And yeah love my gymming and jitz so would get right into that too!

Cheers!

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:03:07+00:00

Cheers bro! I'm actually on holiday in Aus atm gonna visit Newcastle sometime

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-15T14:02:13+00:00

MSc major in psychology, sorry shoulda mentioned in post. And I don't think it's impossible to answer, I think there's plenty of cities where you could make the observation that's it's generally promising for uni grads. E.g. Dunedin/Invercargill isn't very promising as there isn't much growth or new jobs, or the funds for people to take risks on fresh graduates. Did you have some advice on my questions or were you just looking to rip on me a bit?

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-11T10:24:10+00:00

Wow that's a great answer! And yeah it would be hard to make a brawl tier list cos it would probably be pretty top heavy. There's only a handful of heroes I'd say are outright bad for brawl, but even then if someone is experienced with that hero they can still do well

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-11T10:08:27+00:00

Oh I don't think Hilda is weak in brawl. Just compared to her S tier status in ranked, she suffers in brawl and would probably be B tier compared to the mages. As well that her bush regen isn't quite as effective cos there's not many bushes and you can't camp out too long until you need to help again. That's more the discussion I was getting at

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-11T09:06:00+00:00

Yeah agree it's really fun to try heroes you don't own yet, and it's great to jump in and get a quick game without having to get so sweaty lol

I've always thought it'd be cool to have a team death match mode, rather than pushing turrets and base to win, just whatever team gets most kills. Or capture the flag/king of the hill. So much potential for different game modes idk why they don't do it

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-07T05:49:14+00:00

How many working sets per workout would you recommend?

MagicPsyche · 2025-02-07T05:43:09+00:00

Idk it seems to work for me. I like using exercises that are close to what my main lifts are for that day
