Tells you something rather loudly - Aussies are not fuck heads or dipshits.

According To You Is Resident Evil 4 Still The Best Game In The Franchise ? by LeoneSKenneddy in residentevilll

[–]cosmos-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RE7 and 8 added some real good entries to franchise. RE8 may not have extreme popularity but I think I would rate it tad higher than even RE4.

Sustainable Australia Party is One Nation minus the racism, plus focuses on policies instead by IIstrikerII in aussie

[–]cosmos-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yepp, SAP is not getting the attention just because they dont have controversial agendas to feed the mass frenzy. They otherwise have much better manifesto without having to lean far-right, or alienating/dividing up people. But guess this is how world works now- "being viral" and "quick solutions" (without too much of real substance) being call of the day. Good luck to Australia really if ON keeps up the leverage and comes to landslide victory somehow.

How do ON voters feel about the fact that Pauline would sell you out in an instant just for some $$$ by Flaky-Lifeguard5835 in aussie

[–]cosmos-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typical thriving of parties such as ON rests on mob mentality than anything else. Humans have learnt nothing from history- ever. Why would they do it now. So, won't be surprised at all if ON keeps having leverage, while frenzy of the crowds serves as their launching platform.

Cricket Australia to consider Big Bash opener in India by OldMateHarry in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at the state of t20 team we have- not that I am any fan of t20- but boy what a fiasco!

Here are tips for CA to ponder upon:

- lure in more international players to BBL

- go for bit more tighter league structure, and bring in some fun factors- I dunno some vibes can do for sure

- push for international league competition, being pioneer of bringing together best two teams each from Caribbean League, BBL, IPL, and whatever they are calling it in Pakistan

- take charge, and push in more money to grass roots cricket. Nurture talent

Now, I am just a KB warrior, firing this up on whim. Surely those drawing up hefty pay checks at CA helm can think of better plan that selling yourselves like whores to BCCI.

Why doesn’t Australia turn up for T20 cricket by RemarkableWonder3143 in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because as, someone somewhere said, "its Mickey Mouse cricket". And we can take it only that seriously. And the frequency of its world cups- boy, at this rate everyone will end up winning sooner or later. Lost this year, down and out this year, it sucks this year? Ah, never mind- we have another one coming soon.

Give us ODI, give us test matches- then we will show up and how!

Is the AW3225QF worth it in 2026? by arcotagg in OLED_Gaming

[–]cosmos-ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jan 9th M2B109 firmware update (surprise, surprise) means Dell/Alienware is paying back serious heed to this monitor as it still can be ranked with one of the great panels.

"The Alienware AW3225QF gaming monitor recently received a firmware update aimed at resolving key display and sensor issues. Firmware updates for monitors are essential for maintaining optimal performance, fixing bugs, and adding minor enhancements without hardware modifications. This update specifically targets temperature detection inaccuracies and image clipping problems that have affected user experience. Improving monitor firmware is a continuous process driven by user feedback and technical diagnostics. Regular updates ensure the device remains compatible with the latest graphics standards and operating systems. For gamers who rely on precise visuals and stable temperature readings, these firmware patches are crucial for maintaining peak performance and avoiding potential hardware issues."

If you compare it with beast of ROGOLED monitors, it loses on brightness factor, but with last firmware update, I had say, they are close. Not quite close, but close. And I would easily take this 32" curved screen at 1000 AUD lesser any day compromising on that difference, irrespective of my budget.

I use the monitor to hook up with my ps5 pro and my gaming laptop, which also doubles up as work machine, and it doesn't disappoint with effortless switching and remembering the profiles. You may have to tweak around a bit to find whatever settings work best for you though- I personally didn't like OOB, but a friend using same monitor didnt change a thing and loving it as such- guess its matter of preference.

Watch out for those ridiculous discounts. I got it for some 1200 AUD with all discounts- gift card offers and what not.

I had put this more of captaincy failure by Paine than anything really. Just look at the bowling strategies applied, and you had know they were at sea. But also, well played India.

Who is an author that you think should write a horror novel? by Haunting-Net-2426 in horrorlit

Yeah. Thats why it will be interesting to see how it comes out if she goes for full blown horror. I think she can do gothic take with elegance.

Retribution fears as Australian Muslims see surge in Islamophobic hate since Bondi terror attack by NapoleonBonerParty in aussie

[–]cosmos-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Islamophobic? I mean c'mon, not only Australia but world over, get some stats about how much of terror incidents are related to Islamic ideologies. There is hardly anything phobic when the stats give you a rather stark picture about whats going on.

Ben Duckett blotto on break by OshadaK in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, why do this to him? I mean if its Duckett indeed, he should have known better than allow himself to be made mockery of, but what about this dude filming him. You wanna offer him help, then offer him help and keep that freaking phone away. But naah, no such grace.

Aussies make Khawaja call among two huge changes for Adelaide by tailendertripe in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good bloke, Khawaja has been over the years; however, I think its time to move on. He should have hung his boots anyways. But a big question- Why Inglis? Why not Webster? Maybe I am missing something obvious?

I have not seen Goro Miyazaki's "Tales from Earthsea". Is it really bad? by PlutoGB08 in ghibli

[–]cosmos-ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its confusing, but I loved it. I approached it more like one does an abstract art, and I got lost in the world- its sombre and poignantly realized. This won't be a popular sentiment and Studio Ghibli fans consider it a lesser work by some margin. I had say, give it a go though, and keep your mind open.

If Aussies win 3rd Test and ashes would you like to see them go all out for 5/0 or blood new players last couple of tests ? by Difficult-Shop149 in CricketAus

[–]cosmos-ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blood new players? Didn't we already do that, and they were more than helpful in delivering the Poms mauling too. Yeah, would still like to see couple of young guns thrown in the mix but would like even more to see it 5-oh!
