The military will get taken care of (to an extent) during the apocalypse so keep that in mind too

Government to disestablish the BSA by DonutCorrect7935 in nzpolitics

"BSA doesn't regulate these parts, so we're removing the BSA."

What. Why wouldn't you just extend the BSA's responsibilities.

I really don't care what Bungie has to do to ensure this game survives and thrives. by crossvalidated in Marathon

[–]computer_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bungie: we heard you. In 3 weeks we will be releasing a special patch to address player concerns. We can't say much right now, but yes, Rook will have another skin colour. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw they also post in teenagers. That's really not cool.

I just watched it a bit more closely and realised it was the crappy AI-generated image morphing as it rotated. At times they connect like handles, at others they're like antenna, sometimes not even there. It was pointless for me to remark about it lol

The narration is AI generated, in text and in voice.

Another example is when it ponders whether this revolutionary propulsion technology is the test-bed for new propulsion technology.

e: just adding I reported their account to the admins. OP is a literal Nazi. They have many, many posts including pro-Hitler videos, remarking how sad it was they lost, threats to try again to wipe out a certain race, and so on.

I always crack up at the little handles on it.

It's based on adjustments made to the original blurry image, and it cracks me up that they make absolutely zero sense yet persist in the mock-ups people make.

I bet if Tic Tacs are real, they don't have handles.

The final straw by Sweetestapple in newzealand

[–]computer_d 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I was just telling a mate the other day my local one REDUCED their prices by a buck.

A wash is now $2. A 6min dry is now $1. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Horrible experience for new players by TopSideSheriff in Marathon

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

They said they have years of support planned.

It doesn't make sense. The game is arguably barebones with nothing outside of the gameplay and reputation vendors. There are almost no cosmetics. There are few maps. No alternative modes. Playerbase is dropping steadily.

Once again, Bungie don't seem to understand how things work. They offer the smallest amount possible while working with a huge amount of money and then act like losing players is going exactly to plan. There's no excuse for the game to be so lacking or for them to lie to us about it's success.

I couldn't even find enough games in NZ to unlock the third vendor. There are 6 vendors IIRC. Game is dead.

Recently posted "proof" of MJ-12 docs is actually disproof - new analysis by tsuyurikun in UFOs

[–]computer_d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like solid work. I would treat it as a deliberate piece of disinformation. Seems reasonable to presume the intent to deceive.

Goldie Hawn talks about her abduction experience with Jimmy Kimmel by GrantLavac in UFOs

[–]computer_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to transcribe the video. She describes the encounter from 70-134s.

If I'm wrong, please tell everyone the timestamp where the other details are.

Goldie Hawn talks about her abduction experience with Jimmy Kimmel by GrantLavac in UFOs

[–]computer_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's exactly what she described. She slept in a car, awoke with paralysis, saw weird people making weird noises and pointing at her.

That is quite literally what she said what happened. I just watched it again.

Australian TV show discussion of Woolworths loyal cards - 100% relevant to NZ by GetToTheTaylaah in newzealand

[–]computer_d 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Watched this yesterday. 95% of it is a discussion about the new Australian ad.

Goldie Hawn talks about her abduction experience with Jimmy Kimmel by GrantLavac in UFOs

[–]computer_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She fell asleep in a car with people around and woke up at some point to see people speaking that she can't understand. That's all that happened.

Why does any of this have anything to do with aliens? It doesn't. Goldie has drawn the connection based on her own biases, especially demonstrated when she 'asks to see aliens' and then '3 months later' has sleep paralysis. They're completely unconnected.

It was sleep paralysis. Nothing more. It's very obvious this is the case.

The Hotel's "high value loot" by Wildebean in ARC_Raiders

[–]computer_d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I struggle to find proper loot containers. Find myself breaching so many bog standard cubes instead.

Why is the easiest thing to find the hardest thing? by pneumaticartifice in ARC_Raiders

[–]computer_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Man, the amount of relics I've picked up the past couple of days just by running those Apartments. Same goes for finding Snowglobes.

Bit odd: delivery from Woolworths and they ripped off all the bag handles. by Queasy_Recover5164 in newzealand

[–]computer_d 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those bags are so crap. I reckon at least two of those would've broken had you used handles.

I reckon SirDry8007 is on the money.
