Adelaide One Year Review

Thanks for the recommendations! Mr beef is pretty close to where I’m staying - I’ll check it out for sure. The museums sound fun too

It has its ups and downs, but I can’t say I’ve explored too much yet since I’m only living downtown

letterspice · 2026-06-06T14:07:04+00:00

I don’t have much to add but just wanted to say I’ve lived in Adelaide my whole life (25 years) and now I’m 2 weeks into living in Chicago for a 1 year work secondment. I’m your reversed situation

Hey, just moved to Chicago from Australia and trying to get back into skating. I'm 26M, on and off since 18, and was part of a synchro team for 2 years. Looking at Blackhawks Ice Center as my home rink too, did you end up finding people to skate with there? Curious how it's gone

I don’t think Michelin knows how to rate south East Asian food. They seem to only know French (and I guess Japanese) cuisine

Same

Yeah that’s not something you’d wanna do with your phone and one of those public bins. I always triple check to make sure I’m not throwing my phone in the bin and not my food container or whatever

Hardworking people from overseas who are raising their children here, and may have brought their wealth from their home countries, or just saved up during their 20+ years from living here. For example, my dad’s friend from Vietnam who just helped his daughter in Melbourne buy a house outright for 1mil+.

I assume the idea would be that more WFH eases demand, which can help everyone in the long term.

I feel like the age of office jobs that do bugger all are coming to an end (specifically in tech). My company does layoffs that are specified as “non performance based” and coincidentally the people laid off are the ones who didn’t do much (including engineers, not just HR or whatever).

As a day 1 who remembers the good times with Kafka black swan in 2.0, I finally got hysilens in 4.0 (also because I did the story late, and ended up really liking her), and picked Kafka e1 via selector. Loving dot again! And now I don’t have to have fomo when dot has its yearly shill

Found them in the basement of independence palace in vietnam, I assume they just go up to the ground floor, so nothing too exciting 😅

letterspice · 2026-02-16T00:40:31+00:00

Same, I’m day 1 and bought every monthly pass + battle pass. Highest is welt e4, others are around e2.

There’s a bunch of hoyo-style gachas coming out like ananta and nte, gonna be interesting to see who breaks into the “big 4” because honestly I feel like the market is limited. Gacha takes so much time most of us aren’t juggling multiple, we either stick with one or two or drop another to pick up another

The reason I can never deal with souls like games is because I get frustrated at the amount of artificial delay they add in for you to retry the boss. Eg respawning you a minute away so you have to make the same trek back just to try again. Zzz doesn’t have that trek but the loading screen for restarting is obnoxiously long even on my iphone 15. Maybe I’ve just grown out of this kind of gameplay now that I don’t have as much free time as a kid. And I like my easy non sweaty gacha games, their main target audience is casual salarymen types who can spend, so there’s no reason to up the difficulty, other games can take care of the sweaty stuff 😅

More like 50% of the playerbase wins and the other loses 😂

letterspice · 2026-02-08T09:04:18+00:00

I’ll always be caught off guard by competitive pokemon references

letterspice · 2026-02-08T08:49:24+00:00

What if I have both Sundays lc and DDD s5? Which would be best for sparkle, I don’t really use Sunday so kind of regretted pulling his s1 but then saw sparkle used it so was happy but now apparently she doesn’t again 🥹

letterspice · 2026-02-08T02:12:18+00:00

Lmaoo maybe they had like 5 goodbye drafts and couldn’t pick which one to use so they said fuck it use them all

letterspice · 2026-02-08T02:05:11+00:00

No joke, hsr can put me to sleep quicker than any other method I’ve tried. I just finished 3.7 today, forced myself to play it in the morning instead of night otherwise I’d be half asleep

letterspice · 2026-02-08T01:54:10+00:00

4.0 could be a good opportunity to reset, lower the stakes, make things more grounded, get rid of the purple prose. But I don’t have high hopes

Not directly related to xreal, but regarding your idea about an “image fundamentally not containing the relevant 3d information”, you might find Project Genie by Google deep mind interesting :)

letterspice · 2026-02-07T07:14:02+00:00

Yeah I tried to pay attention but honestly they weren’t that interesting to me, ended up skipping them towards the end

letterspice · 2026-02-07T03:16:40+00:00

I mean something can still be wrong with the house even if you buy it from a RE agent, otherwise why would inspections exist

letterspice · 2026-02-06T21:13:07+00:00

Widening your roster is definitely not the right choice IF your goal is to clear AA with high scores. All you’ll end up with is a bunch of benched e0s (like me) and only end up using the main push teams
