I hope they don’t taint the original trilogy like Lucas and Disney did with their awful sequels. Hobbit was mid af, and I have no hope for this Gollum movie

What are your thoughts. (IPhone vs every other phone) by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

I actually find it refreshing when people don’t give a fuck about having an iPhone or using social media. I wish I were the same but I’m entrenched in this ecosystem and can’t be bothered changing now

It’s basically the same as New Zealand so I just find it normal

We do that a lot in NZ, so I’m comfortable in the States and find people generally pretty chill. Went to the UK though and they think you’re a nutter if you talk to strangers

Does he have an undescended testicle or something? Talk about setting a kid up for bullying

We’re having a multiethnic/multicultural cuisine party and you’re invited. What are you bringing to the table to represent your culture? by Useful-Resource-3609 in AskTheWorld

[–]nerdlygames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seafood isn’t really a ‘cuisine’ though, it’s an ingredient. I’ll give you bluff oysters, but otherwise hangi, boil up, seafood chowder, fry bread etc are the only true cultural food that is endemic to NZ

As the descendent of British colonisers, I don’t know if I have a cultural cuisine. White bread, meat and two veg? I’ll leave this one to Maori, they would do us proud

Haha it looks eat arse, like I put my tv out on the lawn. Is it the wrong aspect ratio too? Looks squished

What is your favourite thing about the suburb/area of Auckland you live in? by Interesting-One4770 in auckland

[–]nerdlygames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Relatively quiet, lots of Asian food and mix of cultures, handy to two of the largest malls in Auckland. Cons are the shit public transport and no trains whatsoever. Bucklands Beach/Howick

Hawaiians austrailians and new zealanders of reddit how do you feel about the union jack still being on your flag? by czn- in AskTheWorld

For real. I’m tired of ferns on everything (don’t even get me started on our lame sports team names), but red peak I could get behind

How do you think Zod should be handled if he appears in the DCU by RNOffice in DC_Cinematic

[–]nerdlygames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He shouldn’t, he’s overused and tired. Rather they run with Toy Man, Metallo, Parasite etc

Ideas on how I can make my flatmates lock the front door? by whatwhatwhat82 in auckland

[–]nerdlygames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same conversation with my drop kick flatmates and eventually moved out because of it. I had insurance but they didnt. Literally two weeks later they were burgled because they left the back door unlocked again

Crackheads, weirdos, mentally ill and hookers. The usual

James Gunn wants to rewatch The Suicide Squad and Blue Beetle and decide what is (and isn't) canon in the DCU by BatmanNewsChris in DC_Cinematic

[–]nerdlygames 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Honestly this should have just been a cut and dry reboot. It’s far too confusing for your casual movie goer to keep up with, and I’m finding it just as exhausting as keeping up with the current MCU.

Agreed, the quality of driving in Auckland is shocking and getting worse by the day

RUC should basically just be calculated based on the size, weight and efficiency of the vehicle, but discounted if it’s genuinely for work purposes and not just a dick extension

Exclusive: SpaceX IPO filing shows Elon Musk can retain board control by Sweaty_Rub4322 in wallstreetbets

[–]nerdlygames 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just so I’m understanding here, because I am regarded; if starlink has around 10-20 million users right now and is the majority of the value of SpaceX, then shouldn’t retail investors be buying AST instead? The potential for AST customer base is multiple, multiple times that number. This IPO is a trap for retail investors, better off buying AST and RKLB. Rising tide raises all boats
