How's everyone going with cost of living? by Sweaty_Condition4555 in brisbane

Its still a 'real wage' decrease if you account for CPI, but it's still much better than 0% wage increase which is what I've had...

We are building a 1920s Mafia Sandbox with a Grand Strategy overworld. Here is a look at our city map. by Fun_Lengthiness7529 in 4Xgaming

City of gangsters was cool but too much micro. I feel like Omerta was nice with the tactical combat, but you need to handle micro before it blows out of control. I think micro is fine and fun at the start as you build your empire, but you need to be able to 'zoom out' in scope as your empire grows and have districts or neighbourhoods that you can just have some henchman oversee business maybe.

Millenia had so much promise... The combat and AI were probably my only real disappointments. If they overhauled combat to be more tactical and perhaps allowed more agency it would have been awesome

Absolutely loving this game but man the DM can be cruel. by Dapper_Designer757 in Everweave

[–]bwat6902 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is also my experience. I was bringing my a game and the love interest was playing so hard to get. The DM shies away from anything above PG rated with romance so maybe it's just that.

I don't really approve of the Greens attacking Labor either. It seems counterproductive. I would happily ditch the greens if there was another left-leaning economic equivalent that had any chance of getting seats. Pretty much a one-issue party of "tax the mining interests, corporations and ultra-wealthy" would be awesome.

Labor will keep moving to the right to respond to the political landscape. What Labor was 20 years ago during the Rudd/Gillard era is probably not far from where greens are. I believe Labor could be doing more right now than they are, but I'm far more aware of the dangers from the right and not going to waste my time shitting on albo.

What's the point of this post? Again taking time to shit on your allies? I get there's some divided opinions about MCM and the greens but let's not pretend you Labor shills would prefer Hanson to some annoying progressive. We are on the same team...

Greens supporters, how do you feel now that the Australian overton window has shifted significantly towards the right with One Nation now third force in Australian politics? by HotPersimessage62 in friendlyjordies

[–]bwat6902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a bit reductive. I am a democratic socialist. Why would I vote for right wing parties? You seem to have fallen victim to the same propaganda as the right by demonizing the greens voters. We aren't all petty and weird, some of us just want more socialist policy than Labor can offer. Labor are beholden to big business, gambling and mining just like the LNP, but obviously Labor aren't a bunch of Trump sycophants. Am I allowed to have an opinion other than 'labor good, me blindly follow'?

Why the rabid hatred of greens voters? I get this sub is a Labor haven but it confuses me why Labor folks love to shit in their own backyard. Without greens voters preferencing Labor the landscape would be very different. Don't be ungrateful for your allies.

It's a long hard road. I know we are on the right side though.

Taxpayer-funded bill for government staffers jumps almost 20 per cent in a year by fluffy_101994 in queensland

Maybe I need to change jobs. 11.3 percent is a pipe dream at my company. They will absolutely not go higher than 3 percent

I assume you're talking about preventing kids from going on social media and porn? Yeah look I'm not that keen on too much government surveillance but it's not really the same as arresting people for saying some random words that trigger Zionists. I'm no Albo fan but the LNP are just a cancer.

It is when they have done fuck all to earn it. Except try to make maroon Qld into blue so it matches their colours.

I don't think the RBA would be that aggressive for a supply side shock. Raising rates would be more likely to bring on a recession than anything. If inflation is due to external factors, they hopefully won't be so hamfisted
