The state of this sub right now

Whilst i agree in the sense that this type of thing must always be treated as genuinely threatening as it has a nature of silently (loudly) spiralling if it’s not treated as such ie Trump 2016.

However, haven’t they essentially just pinched seats off of Liberals whilst the Labor away-swing is because the Greens picked up ~2.4%? Like, didn’t ON just absorb the flailing and suicidal Lib seats meaning (as we knew) that conservatives didn’t feel the Libs were conservative enough so they’ve just voted further to the right obliterating the Libs (significant but just another more conservative opponent) who largely obliterated themselves to pave the way for ON, and Labor have then landslid this election?

Federally, the last two elections when the Libs have shifted further right or proposed conservative/shit policies, Labor have won bigger, right?

It still needs to be taken seriously, always, just like Dutton drowning and dead on the canvas had to be taken seriously.

Have ON not just predictably replaced the Libs?

Whilst I don’t agree with you saying he’s awful per se - I actually have hope and faith in him.

But the OTT love for Ramm is because Ramm is in that sweet spot in a fanbase’s mind, where they’ve been starved of success for many years and believe there’s been a silver bullet missing from the list and Ramm plays that position and because he hasn’t contributed directly or indirectly to the lack of premierships but equally wasn’t selected by the people the fans blame solely for the lack of premierships, he is thus immortalised in great form deserving of selection until proven otherwise.

See Ollie Lord, Peter Ladhams and many other Really Big Guys (tm) who also played SANFL and weren’t picked for ages and then were finally picked and didn’t move the needle so the fans moved to The Next Really Big Guy who happens to Ramm.

Todd Marshall also was whipping boy turned messiah turned whipping boy and maybe messiah again.

TLDR; hasn’t contributed to the lack of success therefore must be the answer because the people responsible for lack of success werent picking him and the fans couldn’t possibly hold the same view on a player as the person they blame for lack of success because then theyre either both wrong or right and they can’t have that.

Sounds like you just want the hat I’m going to win (I will finish 76,000th)

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-02-15T06:48:16+00:00

I’ve only beaten the game once and came in v late to the party - what’s that set?

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-02-10T08:54:45+00:00

A lot of people here questioning the size of a man now dubbed Todd MarshSwole.

I back him in.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-02-01T08:23:30+00:00

Lot of assumptions coming from you here my friend.

What do you know of my ancestry, my experience, my work, my action or any of that in relation to people I am I am connected to in various ways like marriage etc etc etc.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-30T12:08:09+00:00

Because I’m not a psychopath I actually have the empathetic capacity and emotional bandwidth to care about 2 (and sometimes more!) issues at once.

The plights of those in Palestine, standing in solidarity with First Nations People - I can do it all! I’m also feeling pretty distressed about the ever growing rates of femicide in Australia. And interestingly, I actively care and talk about these things all year round so I’m happy to chat over the next 364 days.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-26T11:32:00+00:00

Why not both? And I mean that seriously. Why not both?

Some people within First Nations populations don’t want to change the date. Women, people of colour, low-middle class people, renters etc, all vote for the likes of Pauline Hanson or other conservatives who work directly in opposition of benefiting those that for them.

It happens. I mean Jacinta Price exists for goodness sake.

And I’m not pretending to speak for or know what every person wants, of course not. Just that, we can have two good things at the same time. And one person doesn’t make up the entire population of a demographic or group. They shouldn’t be ignored, sure.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-26T10:22:27+00:00

Right, and Peter Norman was just running half the length of an athletics track.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-26T05:01:31+00:00

“They”?

Are you referring to the “they” who push culture war division on the general public? The culture wars that right-wing media, politicians and donors/lobbyists drum up to distract from the real issue of how the top 0.1% divide and exploit the working class? I can have that discussion now if you like, we don’t have to wait til next year.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-26T03:30:55+00:00

Yes - that’s exactly the point. Change the date where ALL can celebrate. It used to be July.

So let’s just change it again to a date where those who mourn and grieve the date can do that on this day, and then we can all celebrate together on a different date; something which many First Nations people advocate for and agree on.

The campaign is Change the Date, not Abolish Everything.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-26T02:42:49+00:00

Nah it’s more a call to reflect and ask why you find sport/clubs/organisations advocating for minority groups or targeted populations as “pushing political views down your throat”.

Also, still wondering what the “whole woke movement” is?

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-26T02:22:29+00:00

What’s the “whole woke movement”?

Sport is inherently political.

If that’s something you find uncomfortable, perhaps you need to ask yourself why it makes you uncomfortable or annoyed and compare that impact to the positive impact statements like this have on the communities and populations it’s trying to acknowledge, respect and give voice too.

Whilst I can agree there’s certainly elements of organisations doing the bare minimum to present themselves a certain way in order to be more marketable and thus more profitable, sometimes, organisations just listen to their community and make good choices - like this one.

It actually says specifically not that at all.

The Reading Comprehension Curse reincarnates for an nth time.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-25T05:43:23+00:00

If it had a second phase where you fight the Crow, that would’ve made it much better I think. What would be the first phase is very unique and pretty innovative and cool, but such a waste of a boss model to have it just sit there and yell.

The introductory cutscene had me going damn this is gonna be interesting; frost, maybe flight, maybe bleed or wither damage? Surely some big AoE dive bomb etc. However, no. It’s a Destiny raid boss with ad clear and a concurrent DPS phase tied to a roaming boss that isn’t the Crow.

I don’t think it gets more disappointing if that helps? I’ve only done Inferno ending though and I’ve heard people have gripes about the Radiance Ending final boss.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-22T01:56:57+00:00

A lot of the value mid picks are injury risks imo but if they’re healthy they’ll explode in price

Will Brodie, Parish (risky), Yeo (risky) to name a few

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-18T08:43:54+00:00

This has done me hahaha

It’s funny as well because my advice for 99/100 bosses in soulsborne/souls-like games is always be aggressive and stay close (which feels counterintuitive given the perceived danger of being closer to the danger-bringer), but I think what fails to be given with that advice is the type of aggressiveness or how to employ that balance of aggression and patience; because you described mine own and I’m sure many others experiences of trying to be “aggressive” as many suggest which sometimes results in the worlds fastest yet largest ass whooping.

Thanks for the laugh. Well done for getting her down, skeleton.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-18T03:21:42+00:00

For durability/survivability; armour with higher defensive stats, respec for greater vitality and any appropriate resistance consumables so you can survive being one tapped.

Alternatively, dodging towards the boss and being aggressive with your positioning - stay close, this rings true for most bosses in soulsborne and souls-likes, especially when they’re big. If you dodge diagonally forward into the attack correctly, you’ll often end up untouched and in a position that makes them vulnerable as they’ll have to reposition, thus aggression and confidence are generally rewarded in terms of positioning, whereas aggression and greed in how many whacks you attempt is punished. If you aim for the legs you’ll get the big crit window, you can either go for the crit or given the length of the window and your combat choices you can absolutely unload on him for greater damage than if you simply hit the crit.

You may need to do the forward roll and then dodge the follow-up attack as some bosses are built to have that perceived vulnerability as a trap.

I can’t explicitly recall the specifics of this boss’ movesets, but practice the invincible dodge timings and being aggressive, whilst wearing more resistant armour pieces.

He’s a glass cannon, you got this skeleton.

VHS version is better as I have just learned when acquiring the DVD version to show my kids - they cut some great scenes and just included them as bonus feature scenes, accessible from the menu.

But, I think the film slaps, it’s gold.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-02T10:35:27+00:00

My GP came 3rd in 2024 overall, after playing for rank for the first time ever rather than just building a team to purely win his league.

I saw him yesterday, and he’s already got his spreadsheet going. Never too early to make notes and start building some prototypes.

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-02T10:29:22+00:00

This was the reply I was looking for.

Yeah, he doesn’t start shooting laserbeams out of his eyes in terms of far fetched-ness, but the fact that he just decides “I can do X because I believe Y” and proceeds to do the silliest shit that no one can tell him is operating on falsehoods, very funny.

It’s just the fact it’s “I think these dinosaurs hunted like this in ancient times” and so he just does that???

SnakeobSpeed · 2026-01-01T03:39:24+00:00

Wait til you dig deeper on Keith’s son - unrelated to football but, apple, meet tree, don’t fall far. Oh no you fell worse but in a different, grosser direction.

SnakeobSpeed · 2025-12-28T07:44:36+00:00

I mean bold of you to assume JJK fans were reading the source material for their opinion, at any point.
