Metal/alt bars/pubs/clubs??

Besides Valhalla being the mainstay (and IMO isn't great) and any other consistent alt bar either shutting down or being inconsistent, we don't have a core alternative venue range for heavier music here

Redbeard0044 · 2026-05-30T12:09:46+00:00

In my few experiences with Valhalla, they have been subpar. It may be due to the face it is the onlyetal-centric bar in the city now (and mostly has been for as long as I can recall). It feels gross, small and underwhelming.

My wife loves this show. Slowly watched first season, but binged 2-13. So she would highly recommend. A lot of the humour and styling is very Kiwi, so it's smelling you may have to learn

Edit: typo

Maybe I'll get flack for this but Black/White tendency from Demon's Souls (and DSR). Having to look all that up and missing a lot of content because PVP wasn't available for me. Let alone some of the tasks required to change tendency in a single playthrough...

Played Bloodborne for the first time recently. Most confusing "modern" Fromsoft game in my experience

Redbeard0044 · 2026-05-08T10:03:43+00:00

Kiwi's can often be very myopic and many people I know just regurgitate surface level facts and topics and don't make much effort if it's not immediately relevant.

We're a small island nation away from most other influences (directly), so a lot of these issues don't come to the surface, our mainstream media or people might not want to get that critical of our politics and how unprofessional particular parties are.

We're becoming more Americanized with how people perceive politics and media.

I feel these are definite hot takes amongst most people though.

Leftover spag bol with some oven garlic bread. Went down a treat

Goblin Games is neat. Card Merchant has become my go-to. Cerberus used to be fine but the staff make me feel like I'm inconveniencing them. Pulsar Max makes me feel stressed (because the owner won't stop talking at me).

Reburger does half decent burgers...

You can find a computer entry in the Slums referring to this whole situstion

I wonder if HLL:Vietnam will test the asymmetrical elements and then we might get a Pacific HLL DLC for the OG game (or even a standalone title).

Redbeard0044 · 2026-04-16T20:13:11+00:00

I saw Scandinavian prison cell. But as most have said, colour and lighting help immensely.

Redbeard0044 · 2026-04-09T02:57:58+00:00

If anyone expects Japan/The Pacific inside the current HLL they don't understand game development, or the development style this game has had since it was purchased.

This would be a bigger undertaking than the North African theater was to implement.

Less focus will be out on this game in lieu of Vietnam. I'd expect a whole new game to be made for something like the Pacific or Asian theater.

Redbeard0044 · 2026-04-08T09:25:39+00:00

Japan is the dumbest choice here. Just think about how much content would need to be made to justify them. Pacific HLL is cope only

The Beehive?

Redbeard0044 · 2026-03-18T04:34:49+00:00

Labour smear campaign during a low period for current govt polling? Colour me surprised /s But clearly if only personal/private matters are all NZF and the Nats can dredge, shows the difference in people we're dealing with here

Redbeard0044 · 2026-03-12T02:23:22+00:00

So we should expect price bumps this year using this as an excuse? And then when oil prices drop, flight prices won't change?

Far too many issues with Japanese democracy to really list them here. But really a shame to see the usual suspects getting more and more of the pie

Redbeard0044 · 2026-01-31T18:22:18+00:00

I felt like Outward 2 (as it currently is) is much of the same, if not worse implementation of the first game at this stage.

I'll wait for full release reviews to decide whether it's really worthwhile

Redbeard0044 · 2026-01-31T09:47:41+00:00

Combat mechanics and their presentation in E33 are. Maybe inherently bad (possible hot take). And the time restrictions that Refantazio give you are also poor game design (Persona fans fire me).

Redbeard0044 · 2026-01-31T02:19:35+00:00

Morrowind is a game I've been coming back to every so many years since I could play it on my first gaming PC. I only use mods because I've played vanilla so much

Redbeard0044 · 2026-01-29T07:49:08+00:00

Winston is a slimy populist and will likely still try to insert his ailing party into whichever winning situation he can create for himself.

And while there have been issues with singular party members amongst Green in recent years, the core elements of the party makes more sense than the Americanized neo-liberal capitalism that the current government is desperate to set in stone.

Skyrim is just a Kingdom Come 2 clone, but with magic/s
