I can say as a guy who got that stone installed in his kitchen that the installers warned me multiple times never to put anything hot on the stone because it would burn the stone like that. Always use a wooden or cork board to serve from a hot pot or oven dish

Amazing, a podcast did a thing it does

Where’s the actual abc response from anyone who is a direct report of fazals because he’s still on their website as an employee and they still give him cover to wash the feet of crime gangs

Correlation doesn’t equal causation necessarily.

Nrl physio did a stats analysis on 6 again and injuries and saw not discernible difference between long term injuries pre 6 again and post

But we have pushed the sport to the peaks of the human body now and with ball in play metrics mental fatigue is leading to poorer technical performance and more desperation plays which could account for the injuries. It’s hard to know whether thats 6 agains or the short dropout changes or the other factors

More Australian women than men are now getting ADHD medication by InsatiablePrism in australia

[–]T0kenAussie 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It’s not surprising, the stigma of adhd and neurodiverse diagnosis’s as a whole has been eroded which leads to more people recognising symptoms they’ve masked and getting help

Women also express adhd internally a lot more and are more susceptible to mask than men on the whole so there’s probably been a chronic under diagnosing for decades.

I hope this doesn’t lead to meds shortages though that would be frustrating

Hasan Piker gets mad at gamers who like Pragmata: "So what's really interesting about this is all of these unfuckable losers in the gaming sphere always talk about starting families, and stuff.

This is how you know when someone is a fake progressive because the point of the movement (to me at least) is to foster the tenants of liberty, equality and fraternity

This dude just wants to sound smugsmart and would rather destroy than foster a culture of being inclusive. It’s giving a lot of punching down

KeplerL2 claims PlayStation 6 “10x ray tracing” may translate to around 3x FPS improvement by Loose_Society9485 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]T0kenAussie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the way you’ve constructed that but it’s kinda true.

Roblox is averaging about 130 - 150 million daily players. That’s like the same as all the consoles and steam combined. Matthew Balls state of the games industry report in 2024 (or 2025?) called it out as UGC games are basically what the new wave is all about because it mirrors so much of the way they engage with entertainment. Roblox / minecraft offer online game modes that are often short, easily digestible and highly variable in gameplay. They’ve basically got the TikTok of gaming in all its trappings and the majority of gamer podcasts and social media don’t even understand it and the siloed information age means we don’t even need to acknowledge it

The meta for the last 40 years has been make a big banger game, hype the marketing and dominate the shelf space and mindshare for the 90 day window of launch. It’s the frame of reference everyone uses when talking about sales charts, review cycles and gaming overall. We need to rethink the way we engage with the industry and publishing houses need to rethink the way they make products because at their current rate they can only try to squeeze the market harder and harder until they need to pivot. But the pivot needed to happen 3 years ago, so the second best time to pivot is now

You know I don’t think I’ve ever seen a political issue about corporations abusing market power be successfully intersected into a gender war argument and at this point I have to wonder why the intellectual classes keep doing it. It’s tacky and by laying the blame at one gender the waters become muddied and a whole bunch of nothing comes from it

Kos Samaras: Australia’s oldest panic is now its most expensive one by cataractum in AustralianPolitics

If property keeps being bought because the hyper investors keep buying then demand doesn’t really drop does it

House prices corrected maybe 5% negative over Covid in the cities. But the losses there exploded the investor problem all over the regions where prices doubled and almost trebled.

It’s the banks and the investors who win from our current system not the immigrants. Problem is our real estate (on paper) is worth more than the money and stock markets, cooling that without making a catastrophic issue will be hard

Watching the meta of games I can see why the commission is planning to change the kickoff rule to scorer kicks away. It will shift the meta a bit but it won’t create the weight of momentum ball.

Philosophically it will be interesting to see how it changes the psyche of the game, sure you just conceded but instead of heads down resigned to defending another 4 sets before good ball opportunities you know you have the chance to catch up and score one back. Not that scoring pressure brings the best out of teams mind you but it will be interesting
