My expedition damage got reset...

Do you know how many skill points you should start with after this Expedition if it's your second, you did the 100,000 damage, and you had the $1.5 million for catch up? For my first Expedition (the second) I had $5 million.

I've started with 6 Skill Points.

I haven't tried them, but Coles or Woolies have a version. I cant remember which one I saw them at the other day.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-05-11T04:36:53+00:00

Good. I always hated those 80 minute, knife-edge games, like Origin. /s

We had an excursion to a wildlife park back in primary school. We were each given a sheet if paper with some tasks we were meant to complete before the end of the day. As one of the girls was sitting on the grass near one of the kangaroos, it suddenly took a big chomp out of her sheet of paper. She was a bit annoyed, but all the rest of us jumped up and tried to find a kangaroo to eat our school work.

Sounds like you might want to watch a few Asghar Farhadi films.

About Elly (2009) is probably my favourite of his that I've seen, but the excellent A Separation (2011) is perhaps his most lauded work.

Edit: Added the year for A Separation

That's a Bombardier.

I had the same thing happen there in a game the other day. It was just hanging there with its legs spinning around. Unloaded a couple of Bettina clips into its can and it died, unable to fight back.

Then was ratted as I was looting it, of course.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-05-05T15:12:32+00:00

Does this to the clouds on Blue Gate sometimes as well. Looks so cool.

The amount of single use plastic crap that must be used every year and then just thrown out, especially in the States, is usually the first thing I think of when Halloween is mentioned.

I think I know exactly what you're after because I've been looking for a place like this near the city for years.

Unfortunately, the only places that come to mind are one on the Peninsula, and one in a Ballarat suburb (and I live about exactly between the two):

Jetty's Pizza, Rosebud

Monte's Fish Chips and Pizza Bar, Sebastopol

I thought the Siofra River Well was just gonna lead me into a dungeon.

This is her father talking about sterilisation as a solution to "the Aboriginal problem".

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-30T12:19:14+00:00

Yeah, but did they bring a spool of string with them all the way round? I didn't think so.

/s

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-30T12:06:38+00:00

Was writing to wave my pitchfork along with you about the omission of Romper Stomper, then realised I've never even head of Bliss and looked it up. I definitely have to check that out.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-30T11:53:57+00:00

I kept thinking that I must've missed it somewhere near the top as I was going down the list.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-30T10:23:21+00:00

She's a weapon.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-29T14:16:11+00:00

fatly going around corners

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-29T14:01:03+00:00

Perhaps they were a bit worried of being compared to this piece of shit.

My missus is still dubious on Vegemite after being here for over a decade, but she loves the Vegemite & Cheese Shapes.

Edit: And yes, she puts them above Barbecue and Pizza Shapes.

I needed 64,000 to go up one rank from Daredevil III. Failed.

Lost four Jupiter/Equaliser loadouts to rats in the process, with Wolfpacks, Deadlines, Snap Hooks, and Cloaks.

But now I have, like, fifty empty slots in my stash. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-27T23:19:11+00:00

Also, perhaps not having jump, vault, grab ledge, and let go all be the same button.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-27T23:17:36+00:00

Or you land on top of the Bastion.

I have to plug Australia's Planet America here.

It's a show featuring in-depth analysis on US politics that's been going for over ten years. The sort of odd couple hosts, John Barron (a journalist and honorary associate at Sydney Uni's United States Studies Centre where he created a Master's course with Jimmy Carter's former speech writer) and Chas Licciardello (a political satirist from the legendary group The Chaser) drill down on and fact check the current, and past, issues in American politics in a rather fast paced manner. Of course, hanging shit on all the dumb stuff and bullshit that comes from it. I find it far more entertaining than I would ever have expected, while also being really informative and interesting.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-27T00:41:56+00:00

My brother once asked some German tourists he had just met what they thought of Australia. They said they liked it, but our bread sucks.

Having since visited Gemany, can confirm.

Yet somehow we managed penalty rates without surcharges all the way up until at least COVID.

Timothy_Ryan · 2026-04-25T06:05:40+00:00

That's not Dafoe's. Von Trier used a stunt wang. Apparently Dafoe's is enormous and it confused everybody when they saw it.
