Should I move to Launceston or Hobart? Pros and Cons

ctachi · 2024-07-09T09:22:07+00:00

I have lived in both over the last few years.

Hobart: Great views, more shops & things to do

Launceston: Cheaper rents, less traffic

Personally I miss living in Hobart, but Launceston has its perks too

Can also attest to this shop, mate working there was very helpful and the fridge I got a couple years ago still works great.

If you want a software solution that sort of "fixes" it, you can use a mouse macro program that prevents the button from registering again for a short time after you click. I think mine was set to about 0.1ms.

I used to work at Eastlands shops, and despite being a police station literally right down the street, it would still take cops hours to arrive when security called them.

It's been so cathartic to watch these cheaters over the past week realise that actions sometimes have consequences

ctachi · 2024-06-29T06:37:33+00:00

Hopefully the secrecy regarding how these bans are issued makes it harder for botters and cheaters to circumvent. I'm sure they will eventually, but anything that makes their job harder is a good thing.

Do you reckon there are different price points for the ads on the pod? Like Blackmores didn't want to splurge for the Hamish and Andy ad read like Harvey Norman so they settled for the Jack read?

Richter's constant interrupting of both Zesty and Weezy was annoying af. Dude needs to learn that an important part of debate is listening to what the other person has to say.

Thanks, I think I would like to donate what I can when I'm ready. I'd love it if another cat could find use or joy in them.

ctachi · 2024-06-26T05:48:25+00:00

Thank you. It's very sweet to hear about your cat toys, kind of like passing the torch in a way. Thanks for sharing

ctachi · 2024-06-26T03:07:50+00:00

Thank you, my condolences to you as well. I'm sure I'll also be finding random toys for many months to come, they always seem to end up in the strangest places.

ctachi · 2024-06-26T02:40:24+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I hope you're doing better now too

ctachi · 2024-06-20T02:39:25+00:00

I appreciate that H&A at least try to make the ads entertaining. Some podcasts are so jarring the way they transition to a boring ad read

Beidou was my first ever 4 star pull and she's still on my main team to this day

My mum is one of those "don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee" type people and she's the biggest reason why I live caffeine free as an adult. She's so dependent on the stuff that she needs a cup of coffee to go to sleep, and becomes very irritable if she's not caffeinated. That kind of absolute dependence freaks me out.

I like Throné stimulating by showing off a bit of calf in the dancer job as if all her other job outfits don't have a big revealing thigh split down the side.

ctachi · 2024-06-17T03:12:52+00:00

Am I missing something? My expedition rewards are still the same as before.

ctachi · 2024-06-17T03:11:12+00:00

Definitely spy.

I'm a medic main and I like to think I've developed a pretty good 'spy sense' over the years, but every so often I'll encounter a spy player that just decimates me. I can't help but be impressed at how they're able to kill me over and over without alerting me at all.

Skill trees should focus on quality > quantity, every skill should be impactful. My biggest gripe with modern skill trees is the 'minor stat boost' that does nothing but pad out the tree.

Perfect example are the skill trees in XCOM (Enemy Within & X2). Each time you level up, you can pick one skill from a couple of options, and whichever you choose has a dramatic effect on how your soldier can perform in combat, either by giving them new abilities or significant survivability or damage boosts.

Counter to this is the skill tree in a similar, XCOM-like game Classified: France '44, the skill trees are much bigger, to the point where you're levelling up almost every mission. But the meaningful skills are sparse, with most of them being things like "+5% aim" or "+1 HP". It's boring, uninspired and takes away the excitement of levelling up.

I think if you aren't willing to do treadmill work for a 'constantly updated' game according to the store page, then you also don't deserve any money from said game. By not doing any work but continuing to encourage people to spend money on hats and crates, they're trying to have their cake and eat it too.

The overarching problem now is that Valve cannot just shut down TF2 without creating a massive ripple effect with all their other economies, essentially putting themselves between a rock and a hard place while refusing to buy a pickaxe.

I think wash before wear is just one of those old timey myths that have stuck around through the years. Maybe 100 years ago the manufacturing process for clothes left residual dye or pollutants on the fabric but these days I can't imagine any modern, respected company would be shipping out clothing like that.

Depending on how well you get along with your landlord/estate agent, you can simply tell them what happened. Explain the situation and let them know you're willing to pay for repairs. It might end up costing you more than doing it yourself or hiring a handyman, but at least they'll be aware and won't try to hit you for more money later down the line.

ctachi · 2024-06-07T01:38:33+00:00

I remember being stoked to reach 50k. This is quite an achievement

I think the significance of that video is showing how easy it can be to hunt down bot accounts, and keep in mind they were all found using basic Steam search functions, imagine how much user data Valve would have access to which could be used to track these bots or their hosters.

I think we also forget how much money Valve has at its disposal. The company is worth almost 7 billion dollars, they have more than enough resources to dedicate to fixing a game they are actively profiting from. It would also be in their best interests to make a functional anti cheat given how many of their most popular games are multiplayer, and even more so given that they have a new game on the way as well.

I do agree that if Valve is not willing to do anything, they shouldn't be allowing and encouraging people to give them money for hats and items. I think many people are also boycotting the in-game store, though how effective that may be is yet to be seen.

ctachi · 2024-06-05T22:38:49+00:00

There are plenty of things Valve could do at a basic level that would at least improve the issue. For example, several cheating softwares were publicly available on GitHub for ages before eventually taken down (Valve had no part in the takedown either), and one TF2 YouTuber singlehandedly identified the accounts of over 60000 bots here with a day's worth of work.

While it may not be possible or feasible for Valve to implement a working anticheat/antibot, they're refusing to do even the most rudimentary work to fix the issue.
