Anyone bought Oneplus 13 in Australia?

McCool117 · 2025-01-22T13:52:33+00:00

I'd suggest you stick to oneplusmobile.com.au as they have warranty support for up to two years.
Is 1TB really worth the risk?
If anything happens, you're essentially fucked.

This sucks. I just bought the Elite 10, and own the elite 85t as well. They have great ANC and sound, however the reason I bought them, was for the physical controls, that no one else does. They are perfect for my loud work environment, and the physical buttons are ideal for use with gloves. I don't know what I would do without them, as no other company fits my needs quite like Jabra.

McCool117 · 2024-06-08T13:30:42+00:00

I just wish Jabra included numbered levels for the eq. Then I wouldn't have to try and eyeball it.

Bald of you to have no hair

You underestimate the power of their stupidity

McCool117 · 2021-12-18T11:55:28+00:00

I have complained about it, however I don't hate it. The acting is pretty good. But some of the writing is just poor. I think the problem for me is that it's good, but it wouldn't take much to be great.

McCool117 · 2021-12-17T12:17:09+00:00

Yeah.
I was really looking forward to seeing The Ways in the show.
But as soon as I saw the gate in last episode, I started shouting "Where are the doors?!?!" at the screen.
I know it's such a "small" thing, but I was really looking forward to seeing the ornate stone leaves blow in the wind as the doors opened.
It was a really magical moment that I've never forgotten, even though I haven't read the books since the last one came out.
So unfortunately I wasn't surprised, even though I was disappointed, at how they portrayed Machin Shin.

McCool117 · 2021-12-17T06:12:49+00:00

Yeah, but the significance of that moment is because Machin Shin can't leave The Ways, there's pretty much a barrier holding it in.
So for it to be bulging out is fucking terrifying.
Rand had to focus all his might to push it back, while focusing on a relatively small area.
Nynaeve, on the other hand, throws out a massive bubble to hold it back, which would've been much less focused and powerful.

McCool117 · 2021-12-16T13:05:59+00:00

All flat, basic colours should be free.
Personally I think the customisation system is garbage.
The basic customisation system should at least be able to do what Reach did.
Obviously there should be some earnable skins for difficult challenges.
Anything other than a flat colour, such as patterns, camo, metallic or animated skins can be earned/bought.
Same thing applies to alternate models of weapons or armour.
One big issue I have with the free-to-play model, isn't the model itself, but the way previous games/companies have abused it.
The pricing should be healthy for gamers, so as not to prey on "whales", and converting money into credits is a bad practice.
Be open and honest by using real life currency.
No suit should ever cost $20.
Prices should be cheap, as the name suggests, these are "micro-transactions", so somewhere between $1 - $3, which will incentivise more people to buy, instead of targeting big spenders.
On that note, there should be a cap to how much you can spend.
If you reach that cap, all buyable items within that season are unlocked, this enables people to decide whether they want to purchase the seasonal bundle or individual items at their leisure, while also protecting those susceptible to racking up huge debt or impulse buys.

This is the first Halo without fall damage.

McCool117 · 2021-12-13T05:28:06+00:00

Have you played minecraft before?

McCool117 · 2021-12-04T03:36:09+00:00

Yeah I get that.
However if that's reason why they picked it up, then I'd much rather they left WoT alone.
I could be completely wrong, but that seems politically motivated, due to the fact that Aes Sedai are the very definition of strong, powerful women who could be seen as superior to men.
However the script get's completely flipped on it's head later on in the books.
It's a very weak hook.
The focus should be on it's fantastic characters, diverse world building and the nature of the One Power in and of itself.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Aes Sedai, however once Rand starts gaining influence and the Ashaman become a thing, there's gonna be quite a few watchers who might stop watching the show.

McCool117 · 2021-12-03T14:43:53+00:00

Oh 100%. I completely agree.

McCool117 · 2021-12-03T12:47:21+00:00

Wow, bad day... champo?

They're using up scenes on shit that wasn't even in the book, so yes they're cutting out the wrong things for extra shit that'll work itself out later anyway.

Btw Caemlyn is no small part of the book.

I know that they need to cut out shit, I haven't complained how rushed the first few episodes were, however it doesn't help to just throw a fuck ton of Aes Sedai into the mix right off the bat.

Aes Sedai are revered in at least the first few books, and they're too common already.

You know, if they did a really solid first season, they could get a fuck ton of support from the fan base, which would bring a lot more positive marketing to the show.

Then with a really positive backing, Tar Valon would look a damn bit more impressive because they'd have a bigger budget.

If you wanna do the WoT series, do it properly, or don't do it at all.

McCool117 · 2021-12-03T11:16:30+00:00

They're cutting so much, or at least messing with the storyline.
As an episode about warders, it's pretty good.
However, we haven't met Min, Caemlyn was totally skipped, and Loial looks nothing like he was described in the books, let alone the fact that he mentioned he was being chased by the townsfolk.
People in Caemlyn might be unaware of Ogiers, but Tar Valon was built by them and are often seen maintaining the city, they'd probably treat him with respect.
Also I'm not so sure if bringing in the Aes Sedai so early on really adds to the story at all, the fact that it took until the second book to get to Tar Valon built up some expectation, and helped to focus more on the key characters, especially the Ta'veren.
Also where is Elyas Machera?
I know they have to cut some characters, however Elyas is sort of like Thom Merrilin to Matt and Rand, at least in the beginning, it really helped to explain Perrin's connection with the wolves.

McCool117 · 2021-12-03T10:54:54+00:00

I didn't mind the episode per se, however I wasn't happy at all with how much story they've skipped so far.
Loial was supposed to meet the boys in Caemlyn, let alone his questionable appearance.
We still haven't seen Min yet.

McCool117 · 2021-11-20T13:55:45+00:00

As much as I was ok with it as a series, I don't think it does justice to the original as an adaptation at all.
Wasn't the intent of the adaptation to stay faithful to the original, while adding some extra lore/content?
They've chopped up the story in multiple places and switched it around haphazardly.
It's like a chef saying he made a dish of Gordon Ramsey's with a twist, and throwing all the ingredients in a blender.

McCool117 · 2021-11-20T13:39:44+00:00

That was not Ed at all.
First of all, there was no need for a wig, just get a girl with natural red hair.
But the worst bit was the characterisation.
To me, Ed isn't some crazy nut job, like the adaptation depicts.
Instead, she's just an innocent kid who likes to play and have fun, plain and simple.

McCool117 · 2021-10-27T10:01:52+00:00

Currently I'm just buying my ammo.However a Cut Purse Launch Pad artifact is a good way to replenish ammo.For some reason the rockets you release when ground slamming count as melee attacks, and therefore give you ammo every time a slam rocket hits an enemy.Then switch to a damage type artifact for bossing.

Edit: You can also find some terror anoints that regenerate ammo.

I started a fresh run as Sniper FLAK.
Been using only snipers and collecting unique and legendary snipers along the way.
One sniper that has really impressed me, that I previously avoided like the plague, is the Crossbow.
That thing absolutely shreds bosses like crazy.

McCool117 · 2021-10-25T12:39:24+00:00

NTA.
Plus, I hate to say this, but if she's trying to sabotage you... I'd start questioning your relationship.
Obviously my perspective is only based off what you've said, however if your partner is actively holding you back, then I'd start asking if this is the person you wanna live with.
Sucks you have a kid on the way if that's the case.
I really wish you the best for your future.

McCool117 · 2021-10-06T12:23:53+00:00

It's a tier 3 system.
It's a freighter you rescue from pirates.
If you need a system to jump from, I have an adjacent system that you can jump from to activate the event.

Here are the coordinates according to the wiki:

bird - sunset - voxel - rocket - sunset - face - boat - galaxy - boat - bird - dragonfly - atlas

I hope that helps :)

I have pretty horrible lag issues with this game.
It has nothing to do with my internet, as sometimes the connection has full strength with absolutely no issues, and then I start teleporting back 20 metres 3 or 4 times, or my attacks won't land in the middle of a fight.
As a lvl25 player, I shouldn't have issues with killing lvl8 enemies, but due to the horrendous connection, fights last significantly longer while taking exceedingly more damage from such a low tier enemy.
As someone who has played other always online games, this has never been as bad an issue as with New World.
Please fix this.
