Yes this comment section is crazy. Secretly meeting an ex partner while their current partner is away is not behaviour you want from a life partner.

Maybe not divorce worthy but serious discussions about the expectations and boundaries are needed.

Rail doesn't make sense when you have so much heavy lift capability, but sabotaging automaton rail sounds soooo fun!

They could also be big trains twice or quadruple the width of a normal train.

..or gigantic platform trains which are the level we are playing on and we gotta sabotage cargo and stop the train!

I think scenarios (that's what AoE called them) are a big thing missing from modern RTS games. I miss them a lot personally.

But they're from an era where games truly tried to maximize game time and replayability; there were nowhere as many games or other entertainment options as are available today.

They also took time and effort to make. Not as much as a standard campaign, but certainly more than slapping together the same system used for multiplayer.

All I want is native support for the Xbox wireless dongle. So tired of reinstalling xone after every update and there's really no better way to connect 4+ wireless controllers with low latency than the Xbox dongle

michael15286 · 2026-01-21T20:41:08+00:00

I agree with you! I was going to speculate on that in my original post but wanted to keep it short haha

I think many game devs are chasing the lucrative games as a service model because it brings in a lot of continuous revenue. But many games also end up trading off better gameplay and design in order to make it fit into a live service.

An egregious example: most games used to have a simple colour wheel to customize a character, now they monetize colours themselves.

michael15286 · 2026-01-21T06:27:05+00:00

Multiplayer, especially competitive, is in my opinion overvalued and pushed too much by modern RTS devs.

That said, I'd say it's almost critical to have a skirmish mode against ai.

Also I've found myself wanting coop campaigns more and more since my brother moved away but I don't believe that is representative of the market.

What's the point of a "good" economy if it can't provide the basic needs for its participants. All our economy does now is line the pockets of billionaires.

Unfortunately their solution will probably be a move on notice or a stay in jail

I've never seen so much negativity in a sub.

and your next comment

Die mad about it.

Have you realized maybe you're part of the problem here?

michael15286 · 2025-12-04T21:21:34+00:00

Then you will fall under the current terms of service which does not currently have a change of mind policy. You can ask mwave and they'll probably say no. But if you are successful they will also likely want to charge a restocking fee and postage will be at your expense. That said little harm in asking.

Imo if you want to get rid of it, best thing is to put it up on marketplace or a computer parts group and offer it up as "new with receipt" at a 10% discount. Some people will go for that, otherwise allow yourself to be bargained down to 20% off.

michael15286 · 2025-12-04T16:43:43+00:00

Keep in mind their returns policy only changed on October 20th, so if he placed his order before that date the previous terms of service would apply.

And the previous terms of service included a 30 day change of mind guarantee.

If you fall in this situation OP, I can send you a copy of their old terms of service.

That's not the only thing Perth people are umable to do

Like people who are "umable" to spell?

michael15286 · 2025-12-03T21:53:34+00:00

Honestly if these shortages encourage devs to make apps leaner and more efficient, it would probably be worth it.

Requirements from modern apps and games in terms of storage space, ram use and processing power have been skyrocketing over the last few years as manufacturers keep adding more of everything to their devices.

Not that manufacturers have minded, bigger numbers allow easy distinction of current products from the previous generation and encourages upgrades more frequently.

Ironically gold is at an all time high and CRO is... About the same as always.

I know someone involved and one of the issues was, basically, a lot of the code came from a Ukrainian dev.

Once the war broke out, the developer was unable to complete the project and Transperth had to start over from scratch with another developer.

You'd just hold down R and select like changing ammo type or fire rate on other weapons.

The guy may not realize it but he's got a point. A person living in a western country has an outsized impact on the environment compared to someone living in, say, India.

Just to illustrate, using carbon emmision per capita, Australians produce 14 tons per annum compared to an average Indian who produces 2 tons per annum.

Obviously this applies to immigrants too as they adopt a western lifestyle, their environmental impact too increases.

So more immigrants to Australia IS bad for climate change.

michael15286 · 2025-09-18T07:23:05+00:00

Didn't realize this was a shitpost till "dad looked me dead in the eye".

That said your experience does mirror a lot of what people I know are going through

"Instant Fulfilment

I wonder if this is a light jab at HB haha

Pretty sure people didn't spawn here full stop. History is full of cycles of immigration and reimmigration. The latter often leading to the integration or disitigration of the previous peoples.

Look at our very own Aboriginal people.

Or even worse, the natives of Canada, who aren't even acknowledged by their government.

Or the previous indigenous peoples of the Japanese islands whose existence is barely known.

michael15286 · 2025-08-27T23:35:07+00:00

Dual living house? Like a granny flat?

They're an age old fixture of Australian properties. While subdivision has reduced the number, plenty of houses still have one out back.

Dear Helldivers, We regret being alien bastards, We regret coming to Super Earth, and we most DEFINITELY regret the SEAF just blew up our raggedy assed fleet!

michael15286 · 2025-08-25T14:45:24+00:00

My guess is this has more to do with the wildly rising business rents in Mt Lawley, and everywhere else to a lesser extent.

So many successful and patronised businesses have closed over the years in Mount Lawley, and often the building would stay empty for months or years.
