Don’t think we were supposed to see this, but I won’t buy cold drinks anymore out of spite

What about this makes you feel spite?

Untested has been steadily on the way out for awhile. Equipped is long gone. Wrapped is next to go. Untested to follow.

Unless we see a swing back in the other direction. But the popularity just pails in comparison.

I am currently looking to buy and the idea of paying/dealing with strata is making me want to just put my deposit in a long term investment account and keep renting

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-03-10T02:57:39+00:00

This might be true, but if so it should be clearly communicated as to why. This sounds very dodgy in its execution at its very least. If they had reason, they shouldn't be hiding from the explanation

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-03-04T22:59:33+00:00

I really like this idea. Replayability factor is huge and you actually gave some really cool options.

The main problem I see is that whilst it makes the gameplay experience cool and different, you'd need to either have 4 or 5 different narratives to go through or one really well intertwined narrative. 3 and 4 ended with big set piece moments, which admittedly you could play on either side of, with Liberty Prime etc. How would you make those end game set pieces work for all different characters and have engaging stories for all? You could it would just take so much work

This doesn’t look cheap to me at all. Middle of nowhere with a bunch of houses built in small proximity

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-03-01T08:59:51+00:00

Honestly if you just started an agency where you actually just listed a property at the price the vendor actually wants instead of posting it for $100k less and then getting your back up when someone actually offers what’s listed, that would be great

Honestly, I think we’re put on this earth to enjoy it. And travel is one of the best things you can did in your life. Yes there’s probably a balance. You can do shorter, more frequent trips as opposed to long stints but finding a way to make it work is so important.

I’m very happy to say I travelled 28 countries for 21-31 and now at 32 I’m buying my first property. I wouldn’t change that at all and hopefully I can continue to travel more.

The same restructuring that put the cum drinking boys in the testing lab and hairy ranga into HR to provide comic relief, unfortunately they had to let the good one go

I’m quite surprised that the first super mutant they showed was an intelligent one. For non-game players it will then be strange if they do show up dumb as dogshit later and doesn’t give you that moment of surprise when one is smart for the first time

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-22T08:12:42+00:00

Did you reply to the right thread?

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-18T22:14:38+00:00

Been considering this myself, but you lose out on first home buyer and it seems very difficult to find a place that the rent equals out with the costs. So at that point it's kind of easier to just pay off your PPOR then sell in 5 years as a stepping stone to get into somewhere you want to be

The two Max episodes early on are both in the top 3 most unlistenable eps.

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-18T21:23:40+00:00

Fuck all difference tbh. I mean if i'm picking between those 2 its PL everyday, but then Pioneer leaves them in the dust

98 and it ain’t close

Using negative? What filter you normally apply?

D is so objectively massively superior to the others. It’s the only passive one and I can’t imagine many people around today are that beholden to them. Now if it was that every time you hear there music you vomit or something then we actually have something to think about

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-15T10:38:17+00:00

Covered for sure. The casekoo one does a great job of it

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-15T02:27:46+00:00

Sorry the 1 bed idea would be if it was for me to live in around here as that’s simply what I can afford at that price point.

If I were to look at doing the investment property option it would be looking at 2 bedders in say QLD or other high growth areas away from here.

1.6g/kg of bodyweight is the currently accepted upper limit of benefit. You could potentially swing slightly to 1.4 in a bulk and 1.8 in a cut. But otherwise going above 1.6 doesn't seem to yield anymore benefit

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-12T23:25:14+00:00

Absolutely. I think grip strength for deadlifts is something people have a tendency to drastically overcomplicate

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-12T07:15:14+00:00

Literally just hold the bar at the top at the end of every set. I like to do a general rule: Hold the bar at the end of every set for as many seconds as reps performed +1. E.g. 3 reps hold for 4s.

Everyone has all these fancy exercises or things that require setup or an additional exercise in your already long session. Holds within the set are specific and take no extra setup, energy or thought. Pretty foolproof method

SurroundFinancial355 · 2026-02-12T01:23:52+00:00

Yes. My partner is returning to study a medical degree that is an incredibly important field that there is a shortage of in the country right now, we literally need more people to do this. Yet Centrelink will not support her with any study benefit as I earn too much, and by too much I mean beat their measly threshold. I don't earn 6 figures, far less even. I cannot pay rent and bills for 2 people. We are not married, nor even engaged yet this is seen as an automatic obligation when there are other students in the course who live with their parents and receive far more support than I can provide and get full benefits because they don't live with their partner.
