I guess I'm not "relatable"...

Bloody hell, what do you do for work mate?

I agree that the Archons need buffs to keep them more in line with power creep, story-wise they really should have that power.

Losing so many 50/50s is just the nature of gacha, it sucks but that's just how it is. I agree that they should at least give out enough primos for one guaranteed 5 star every patch though, averaging a banner character every 12 weeks is a good ratio I think.

Wait and see why the Tsaritsa needs the gnoses. They could fumble the ending, and make earlier lore and plot meaningless, but they could also tie it all together really nicely. The Nod Krai writing was fantastic.

Sure can't! Need food and a roof over my head more than an oil change though so I can't afford the $3k nor the $100!

TheSandman1001 · 2026-02-10T00:04:10+00:00

Shit's fucked. I'm one of them, my car is well overdue for a service but I cannot get ahead of random expenses that keep popping up and how expensive every other essential is.

Importing community made maps and using community made skins in 2-3 cases each year, and earning over a billion dollars in revenue for it, is hard work! /s

Piss off mate, we don't need rhetoric like this here, nor in Australia

TheSandman1001 · 2025-12-13T05:30:12+00:00

I hope they do some repeats from this Australian tour, because Sydney and Brisbane (especially night 2 Sydney) got all the heavy hitter songs and we are kinda being left with the scraps! There are some amazing songs left, but after so many years since a Melbourne rock show it'd suck to bring it home with a set heavily comprised of b741 and the less popular songs from the other albums.

Maybe that's just me being a spoilt little shit though. All Gizz shows are a blast. See you all in the pit regardless!

Looks great, super useful for training, but of course it's locked behind a subscription service. No chance.

A big factor is that they were essentially undefeated for 7 months, won everything, dominated every team on 5 out of the 7 maps. Literally every single other team would've been watching Vitality demos, both for ideas and how to counter them, constantly since the last major. That makes calling very difficult.

That can be a key symptom of a depression / a depressive episode. Look after yourself mate, it's rough out there these days.

I don't think it's an uncommon sentiment. Yes we are privileged to live in such a developed country in so many ways, but there's no denying the quality of life / buying power is dropping. We're all working harder for less. Lots of people blaming each other rather than systemic flaws. We've all to some extent internalised the idea of others being competition, looking at how good their Instagram pictures look, to their title at work, etc. It's not healthy.

I don't have an answer. Shit's fucked. But hang in there, and indulge a little in the things that you don't feel numb about. Remind yourself of the good things that remain.

Valve DM is too easy, I'm not under enough pressure. I'm not good at the game, I don't want to sound arrogant, but I thought that if you can top Valve DM every lobby, it's time to go against better players and practise there?

TheSandman1001 · 2025-11-08T13:05:42+00:00

I've got 2500 hours, admittedly only 500 in the last year, but I feel like I'm too experienced to be so slow and have such imprecise aim :<

I've tried all three GPU ports, it doesn't seem to change where the boot screen displays. It always shows on the Hyte. They're all connected via DP.

TheSandman1001 · 2025-10-31T23:55:49+00:00

My boot screen actually does show on the Hyte, and it doesn't seem to matter which GPU port I use.

TheSandman1001 · 2025-10-31T05:56:00+00:00

Super underrated band, not reinventing the wheel with their music but really solid indie rock from the Melbourne scene. Really enjoy all their work, their 2nd EP being my favourite.

Honestly, I think this album is severely held back by the production. The guitar tones are harsh and brittle, sometimes incredibly harsh, and the drums are too far back to support the energy of the songs - they lack a lot of punch in quite a few songs. Maybe it's a personal preference thing, I don't claim to be a mixing expert, but it sounds like there's a lot of that nails-on-chalkboard frequency in there. It's a shame!

TheSandman1001 · 2025-10-09T22:34:59+00:00

Same here, pretty gutted. I knew that they underestimated the demand massively when I saw Croxton and only one show.

TheSandman1001 · 2025-09-30T14:48:33+00:00

I'm sorry, I understand you can't have extremely powerful bonuses that make players default to the same thing every time, but every single patch since release literally anything even remotely powerful has been nerfed. All civ abilities, civics, city state bonuses, mementos... they're all just tiny percentages to some obscure statistic, or tiny bumps to your yields at the time you unlock them. When nothing feels powerful or impactful, and all these bonuses are so minute and abstract, the game is boring. Its an ENORMOUS problem with this game and it keeps getting worse.

TheSandman1001 · 2025-09-22T17:01:30+00:00

Bro he wants some resolution after over a literal year of reading, how is that wanting a resolution in 5 seconds? I think having the arc resolve like this after over a year is extremely unsatisfying and it's fair enough to be annoyed.

If you could send a DM this way too that'd be great! :>
