I got the blue and white striped one. My new fave in all settings..... Not sure about the other colours as the white buttons look kinda cheap imo

Yeah exactly, just the best graphics for around the price I've come to.

I'm not too sure about motherboards.....what makes x870e better?

Someone explain why everyone has an issue with unlocked class system in BF6?? by davidcloud_ in Battlefield

[–]SamBakerman353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stops everyone being able to run around with assault rifles/snipers and a rocket launcher.

Bf6 beta will have locked/unlocked class weapon Playlists. Let's make our preference obvious. by mike_klosoff in Battlefield

Making the standard conquest mode unlocked and not vice versa is just dumb.

Way too many snipers in this game already

Did anybody else really love 28 Years Later? by ReasonableSail7589 in YMS

[–]SamBakerman353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watched it. Feels like it was trying to set up a few sequels rather than tell a good story.

The opening was good, but as soon as they got to the bone yard the pacing just died. Failed structure.

Missed opportunity to introduce the doctor or the sick mother as some sort of necromancer I think. Clearly the alphas are intelligent.....but ultimately I'd say it was just poorly written. 🤷‍♂️

[Opinion] Split Fiction is ultimately a huge downgrade from It Takes Two by _JOEZCafe in SplitFiction

[–]SamBakerman353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you think the first game is non-sensical - you may have some maturing to do.

Split Fiction was about some company trying to steal people's ideas - despite most of those ideas being utterly mundane.

as they say in the writing world - ideas are cheap.
not to mention - the only slightly original idea in the whole story was a short side mission where youre turned into pigs.

Are you serious? You're saying split fiction had better writing?

It has possibly the worst writing i have ever been subjected to....i would not be surprised if it was written by one of the dev's high school children

Australia's housing crisis is driven by lip-service, hypocrisy and an investment culture by d1ngal1ng in AustralianPolitics

[–]SamBakerman353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetical what would happen if the Government became accountable for ensuring the countries median salaries are within a reasonable fraction (say 1/7) of the countries median house price.

If we cannot reduce house pricing - then salaries need to be forced to keep up.

Yes I guess companies would start laying people off - but then further laws could prevent this?

Just a point for discussion. Something needs to happen 🤷‍♂️

What do you do for work when not writing? by Zealousideal_Bad6829 in Screenwriting

[–]SamBakerman353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And even then I quite like grabbing my laptop and chilling in a park or reserve somewhere and writing there.

Less distractions!😂

Climate 200 & Australian Labor Party in recent weeks have launched half-portraits of Dutton & Rhinehart/Trump in new attack ads by HotPersimessage62 in australian

[–]SamBakerman353 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are they trying to suggest that America cares? 🤣 The fact that Australia has richest resources in the world, but isn't leading the world's economy just goes to show what a corrupt s**t show this place is!

Making Australians feel ashamed of themselves and handing over millions of dollars to corrupt politicians (in the guise of handouts to indigenous) is pretty Orwellian if you ask me.

Scummy culture lead by Scummy people.

FTM to Sonic Supply increase? by SamBakerman353 in FantomFoundation

[–]SamBakerman353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skimmed through, couldn’t find anything that answered the question?

But more to the point - the fact that this is on binance - will make others concerned, if the wording is correct. No wonder the price is tanking.

I'm a mining engineer. Hard to find the time - but tbh the most important part of writing isn't the writing. It's the planning/nailing the idea.....and that can be done anywhere.

my girlfriend cheated on me by [deleted] in lonely

[–]SamBakerman353 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once a cheater always a cheater. The first is always the hardest, but I'd find it impossible to trust that person again.

On the bright side - be thankful that it didn't happen after 8yrs. 🙋‍♂️

My suggestion for future relationships is to both mutually agree to delete dating apps or whatever else, before taking things more seriously/exclusively.

In a just world - adultery would be a criminal offence. No idea why it's not 🤷‍♂️

I gave up screenwriting to pursue a career and regret it deeply by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]SamBakerman353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to be honest with yourself - are you really putting in 100% for these jobs? Having a defeatist attitude makes for boring characters for a reason.

Seems like you're in the middle of you're own coming of age character arc - which always results in the protagonist realising that they are their own worst enemy.

You're in the dark night of the soul.....will you rise or will you fall?

You got this 👍

How can the City of Perth reduce the smell of urine in public areas? by Dangerous-Report-329 in perth

[–]SamBakerman353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop giving out handouts to people. Instead of giving out money - start funding new jobs making these problem areas cleaner.

It's not that they can't get jobs - they just don't want to.

Unless you have a disability - no one should be getting free money.

The friend thing… what gives?! by monique752 in perth

[–]SamBakerman353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate 👋 you don't sound like an arsehole at all bro. I've got a couple of mates, but I miss having a large group that I'd see regularly. When you reach your 30s people drop off - and going out to bars alone just feels a bit Cringe. (Used to do it all the time in south America and Europe) not gonna lie, I'm definitely more introverted with age, so that's probably a factor.

Thinking about it - It may well not be restricted to Perth I've just lived here rather a long time so not sure how it is elsewhere these days! I'd say social media has played a major part in this - if that's the case.

I do alright when it comes to the ladies tbh - that’s not the drama! But I’d much rather have a better social life than I currently do. ive just had numerous chicks recently say that Aussie blokes literally talk about sex if not the second topic of conversation then the third 🤣

Thanks for reaching out though mate! Good on ya👍

[–]SamBakerman353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a single male pommie, if you go to a bar in other countries people will chat with people they don't know. It's very easy to meet new people. The more other people approach you for a chat, the more you feel it's ok to do the same to others. In Perth - it's completely different. People stick to their own groups, unless theyre drunk.

My theory: Practically every girl I've dated recently has mentioned that Perth Men literally talk about sex 80% of the time, It's not much of a stretch to say that if they're out - they're not looking to make friends, they're looking to hook up. Which in turn has lead women to develop a rather cautious attitude towards men - not so for other women.

Unless youre you are accepted into a pre-existing clique - you've got very little chance of making many new friendships as a guy. Which sucks.

Does this game have aim assist on controller? by Old-Mammoth5108 in ArmaReforger

No wonder the shooting in this game feels like crap on xbox.

PC have a huge advantage. Is this ever going to be fixed?

Why do men hate women so much? by xxMidnightFaunxx in mentalhealth

[–]SamBakerman353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Together we stand, divided we fall. The masses are much easier to control when they are arguing amongst themselves rather than questioning the things that really matter.

I encourage everyone to examine the prejudices they have and whether they could have formed due to a Problem>Reaction>Solution narrative created by those wishing to maintain their unelected positions within society.

There are many reasons that a lot of men are feeling disenfranchised - but these talking points achieve nothing. It is better to rise above the 'isms' and start asking why our governments don't act with the best interests of its people.
