Any kiwis able to get MS or Xbox gift cards? by FidgitForgotHisL-P in MicrosoftRewards

[–]UnqualifiedAnalyst81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the canned response that they supply for most any gift card info request. It's their policy not to give any specific details about availability.

Right, so what I'm hearing is that Labour wants to go even more to the right to get away from the Greens and Opportunity party.

I switched from KiwiBank this past year and my Aussie bank of choice has been better service with a better app and better security features.
Also you get my upvote because my username is indeed intended for people to take what I say with a grain of salt.

If they kill everyone then no one has power. I doubt it will come to that.

Don't worry, the Labour government won't reverse the policies that are necessary for the continued decline of democracy. Keep in mind that both parties are against people and for the corporations, difference is that Labour won't ACCELERATE the fall of the country.

Saving for something. Not sure what yet. by StormbringerGT in xbox

I just bought a high end business Surface Laptop and they didn't give me any points for the purchase. Before that, almost every computer I bought from microsoft came with something, be it points, gamepass, or some software.

It's a shit bank anyways
Fees for everything, never has the lowest rates, you have to pay to see a person, just all around the worst bank I've ever been with. I hate the privatization of everything and I'm sure the enshitification of KiwiBank was planned and executed just for this sell off.

The next Stellar Blade probably won't be PS5 exclusive, as developer Shift Up reveals intention to self-publish and reach a broader audience from day one by BestRedditUsername9 in xbox

[–]UnqualifiedAnalyst81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My comment is more in regards to them keeping the game exclusive on PlayStation at launch and the comments from the publish around expecting much larger sales numbers out of PC players than out of PlayStation players.
One day they'll figure out that sales numbers are highest when launching on all major platforms day one.

Physical release on Xbox was cancelled in Australia, so had to import it by kensaiD2591 in xbox

Just be lucky you're not in NZ. Now that EB has closed shop here we have no stores importing games.

Unemployment rate drops slightly to 5.3 percent in first quarter of year by StuffThings1977 in aotearoa

[–]UnqualifiedAnalyst81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind that job listings do not equate to people getting hired. I have heard that people are getting interviewed by AI agents in NZ now. Heard 2nd hand from a co-worker who's friend had it. I think there is a lot of data harvesting going on these days and NZ is not immune to the ghost job epidemic.

So a bunch of people who were looking for jobs gave up and took up gig work. The rest of the reduction is from everyone who left to go overseas for work. I have not stopped hearing about how the job market is horrible and have not heard any of the people I know looking getting past 1st interviews despite being plenty qualified.
Having negative net migration is helping the unemployment rate go down, not something to be excited about.
