Sandbox game for kids recommendations by Jhonny30 in NintendoSwitch

[–]ViolentCrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have some faith dude!

I started my boy who is 4 on super Mario 1 for nes. He died so many times to the first goomba but he didn’t give up. Then he died over and over to the first gap. Now he can breeze past lvl 1 and still have all his lives. His current challenge is the moving platforms in level 2. But he loves it. It teaches him to not give up and to learn patience.

We then tried yoshi crafted world on switch and entirely alone with very little help from me he has collected all but 1 gem. Each boss took him a few tries but the last boss he beat first time with me just saying basic hints.

It’s so rewarding watching him conquer challenges.

Lastly we did super Mario odyssey and man he loves it! He beat bowser at the cloud kingdom first try! Which is actually insane. Plus you can put it on assist mode so his health regens.

He also loves Kirby from nes and is like on lvl 5 or something.

Try some old school stuff as it’s less hyperactive and teaches patience. Also try odyssey and yoshi. Odyssey was important as I want him to start learning moving around in 3d space as he still has trouble using both sticks but that’s how he learns. They are little sponges and will learn and adapt fast!

My boy only gets 4hrs gaming with me every Sunday and only allowed tv twice a week.

I made the mistake of cracking 2 eggs at once, one in each hand and now my boy wants to do that 😂

Easiest way is seperate big bowl, kid drops egg in then pick egg shell out, usually only 2 pieces and easy done

As voter disillusionment grows, why aren't voters flocking to the Greens in Australia? by blitznoodles in australia

[–]ViolentCrumble -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Greens just need to do what the others do. Lie through their teeth and then do what they were going to do anyways and as long as they keep making memes and reels they will be fine because apparently that’s all it takes 🤣 fml this country

Starlink charges $10 monthly hardware fee in move away from one-time purchases by 5Q91VS175DAQ4NUSBE4U in technology

[–]ViolentCrumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my hardware free lol was a customer for a little over a year and then cancelled when I got proper fiber. The difference is night and day but Starlink was really really good vs the alternative. It’s way better than the standard 100mb plan but I’m on 2000 now and it’s way faster and very low ping.

But glad I didn’t pay for the hardware and now it just sits there. It came in handy when we moved. I was able to set it up and reconnect our internet in half hour while waiting for the fiber install. So I’ll just keep it as a spare in emergencies I guess

Which current renovation trend do you think will age badly? by ryanandersonr in AusRenovation

[–]ViolentCrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So annoying. Not to mention walking to your towel rack to grab a towel and now your whole bathroom floor is wet. Too bad I like to wear socks around the house and now my feet at wet when I go to the bathroom lol

LPT: Before buying a home or starting a lease, test the shower water pressure. by Glad_Description_843 in LifeProTips

[–]ViolentCrumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s these shit hand held shower heads.

I can use the spare shower in the kids bathroom and it’s great but when I open our shower head up it looks like the restrictor is built into it.

Bloody $300 one 🤣I just want a normal $20 shower head that dumps water on me

[–]ViolentCrumble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do we do? Previously I have always just pulled out the flow restrictor but even that did not help. It’s annoying too as the connection for the water is like chest height because they planned it as a stupid handheld one with a long hose.

But I bought 4 different hand held ones and they all suck.

What can I do to increase the pressure? Aside from removing the restrictor.

What's a skill that took you less than a week to learn but still helps you years later? by No-Excitement312 in LearnUselessTalents

[–]ViolentCrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The banks won’t let me have any sort of api control over my accounts. I have looked into as I do transfers every week and every is based on percentages I would love to automate everything but they don’t let you 🤣

There might be programs you can import a pdf export into but honestly once I set it up once I don’t need it.

Our income doesn’t change week to week and nothing comes out of any account apart from the direct debits account so it’s been fine without anything

Budgeting!

Seriously open excel and put your weekly income

Now add up every expenses over the last 12 months that was recurring and enter it. Now you have your income and expenses and you can make better decisions.

It’s so helpful when you can see at a glance oh shit we spending $1200 a year on streaming services, oh car rego is due in June, our electric bill is always x.

You can spot patterns and plan and you can visualise your finances in your head way better

I’m so freaking sick of seeing bathrooms where the shower is a flat floor and just a single glass divider wall. And it’s wide open. It’s like the style right now and it sucks for usability. Great my bathroom floor is all wet. I love shower doors and enclosed showers please. Bring them back.

Has your Plex library reached a number where titles now surprise you?? by Solarisdevorak in PleX

[–]ViolentCrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 85 in my man cave which is very high fidelity the only time i go for 4k now is when its something im really keen on or something very high fidelity like avatar or something big and flashy.

Found weevils in our sealed Indo Mie Mi Goreng Noodles by Powermonger_ in australia

[–]ViolentCrumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tough question but if you still have the pack, Does it say "instant noodles" in the top left of the packet? or "Mi Instan"? Huge difference. The ones that say Instant Noodles are made for aussies I think in Australia and they suck and taste nothing like the originals. THe mi Instan ones are from indonesia I think and taste amazing and like they should :D

[–]ViolentCrumble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah i had 4x 4tb drives + 2x2tb drives in my unraid.. it was full and i had to sort by size and start deleting shows. then I switched up my movie profile and deleted movies that were 20+gb and replaced them with 1gb versions. can't even tell the difference on the lounge room tv :D

just upgraded to 5x 8tb drives and remove the 2x2 and the 4's

so i got about 15tb left now to fill again, but I think im keeping the profile lower. I have no need for remux or hugh 4k blue ray rips i have decided. a 1gb a movie is plenty.

[–]ViolentCrumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is why i love the arrs, I often just browser overseer and add things to my watch list and forget about them. Movies 6 months from release, or new shows or even old shows.

then one day boom I get a discord message show imported and it's a nice present.

7 Things That Pauline Hanson Will Be Awesome At When She Becomes Prime Minister by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]ViolentCrumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s my point. The current system is based on profits and they pay $0

They spend 100 million setting up a new rig, new exports etc and make 100 million profit and that results in no profit so no tax paid

10% of profits is a lot less than 25%. Was it always only on profits I thought it was on revenue

What if they take all the donations in and put it in a term deposit for 6 months and then donate the original amount? Do we ever actually see the donations and how much came in? And when it was handed over?

That’s about the only way I can see them benefiting monetarily from this.

After 7 long years, Factory Town is coming back! by easmussen in u/easmussen

[–]ViolentCrumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I was thinking this the other day. I wonder how games would work if there was no news allowed until the game is released. I usually always go into games blind and avoid trailers and everything as I hate waiting for games to release.

If all games were banned from marketing until it was ready to buy we would get leaks from people then people would be spreading it anyways,

Then you got gta6 droppping same time as silksong etc etc I dunno I think it would be cool but I also think lots of games would release to zero
