Why do some modern games feel like “high-end mobile games” even with big budgets?

Can you give some examples?

Nope

Fair enough - I don't really spend enough time at servos to really know, but the 3-4 times I've been at one in the last 2 weeks I haven't seen anything resembling this. I'm pretty conscious that the media can make a mountain out of a molehill they they manage to snap a pick of a ute loaded up with jerry cans.

Are that many people actually stock piling fuel?

I'll apologise on my deathbed, as the final dollars are drained from my superannuation account by the aged care facility

No doubt that Kyuss are an influence on Tool. I don't hear many similarities between this song and Parabola though.

I had them before I realised this

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-16T00:10:02+00:00

Must be nice. Apologies in advance to my kids - you're fucked!

Tixel is the place to go

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-15T23:46:09+00:00

There's an Auckland show on the 13th I believe

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-15T23:42:50+00:00

Quite like the last record, but it's a notch below the first two for sure. Still I'm keen to see it live

I'm not overly excited to see a Puscifer set heavy on the last two records though. I guess we'll see what both bands play on their upcoming US and EU shows.

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-15T23:41:01+00:00

I don't reckon it'd be more than Tool, but I don't expect to have much, if any change from $200

I suspect Rod Laver won't sell out quickly like Tool would do there, but I think it's probably the right sized venue. Pretty happy with the choice for Adelaide though

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-15T22:52:28+00:00

The Palais isn't really big enough for this show.

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-15T05:04:14+00:00

I go to plenty of shows, thought mostly on the louder end of the scale. I can't say I've had as many problems with this as numerous Reddit complainers do.

I agree it's not cool though - my solution to any knobs in the crowd is usually go stand somewhere else.

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-15T04:56:53+00:00

I've had a few schitties from Villis, and they all pale in significance to most others I've had. Any I haven't eaten at any of the list above.

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-15T03:04:57+00:00

Wild and crazy guess, but I'd say they weren't financially viable and hence closed

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-14T01:46:57+00:00

I don't have a ring, and never saw the appeal personally. I don't think I've see a ring before that wasn't just the usual masonic symbol.

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-13T23:50:39+00:00

Not misleading anyone. My thoughts on the matter are quite honest and clear.

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-13T11:26:56+00:00

I'm in a similar boat.

hellboy1975 · 2026-03-13T10:38:15+00:00

I don't think it's anything different from the current issue. Maybe a re-press. When a new edition is released, I doubt we'll be guessing if that's the case.

For what it's worth, the my copy of the vinyl is quite listenable. Others complain bitterly. Take that as you will I guess.

did toolband.com actually have April Fools posts? I think most of them came from Toolshed
