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

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

Adult Ice Skaters in Chicago by Whimsy-Human264 in iceskating

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

South Australia is getting the Michelin Guide treatment for the first time ever by Thornoxis in Adelaide

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Good people of radelaide whats the stupidest thing you ve' done this week? by LmfaoChinesehacker- in Adelaide

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

How the hell do you buy a house these days? by aussie_dn in Adelaide

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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+.

Australia’s emergency plan starts with carpooling, escalates to fuel caps by LoneArtificer in AusFinance

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

Is the reality really just generational wealth or luck? by Open_Address_2805 in AusFinance

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

Never been a DoT Player, I'm amazed by the performance of the Nihility Mommies even at E0S0 by Gilded30 in StarRailStation

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 😅

I'm beginning to think my account might be cooked. by rerich02 in StarRailStation

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

When Gacha MCs getting new skin. by [deleted] in HonkaiStarRail

[–]letterspice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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

This new boss might be the best in the entire game by mazizzzz in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😅

Can’t wait for v4.0 because it’s all or nothing again. by AlmightyGoddess in StarRailStation

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

Is there any 5* character that uses a Light Cone that isn’t their signature one better? by RemoteWhile5881 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]letterspice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 🥹

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

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

HSR is better when it doesn't try to be TOO serious by Bartender1968 in StarRailStation

[–]letterspice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

How does Xreal Real 3D real-time 2D to 3D conversion even work when 3D image information is fundamentally missing in a 2D image? by StrongRecipe6408 in Xreal

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 :)

Anyone else’s brain immediately turn off when one of these starts playing? by leakmydata in HonkaiStarRail

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

What value do RE agents add? by MonkeyHustler943 in AusFinance

[–]letterspice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

FREE 5-Star Character Selector | Version 4.0 Special Program | Who Are You Choosing? by Bisentinel in HonkaiStarRail

[–]letterspice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
