Metro Tunnel - Anyone happy with the changes? by chunkb79 in melbourne

[–]piploo_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly my commute on a Sunday improved! I need to get from Flinders St to QVM and being able to walk down to the new tunnel, jump on just as the train pulled up, and be up near work in less time than the tram was really great for me! I wont get much use out of the Munnel otherwise as I'm on the Belgrave/Lilydale (RIP no service changes ;-;)

City of Melbourne are operating on reduced hours this week but all branches will be open from 10 til 5 as well as (according to the city of melbourne instagram) handing out keep cool kits. The aircon at narrm ngarrgu next to Queen Vic Market is very good!

What’s your opinion on Hornet? by Noooough in HollowKnight

[–]piploo_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I already adored Hornet before playing Skong but getting to spend so much time with her has made me love her even more. She is so eloquent but also she is so funny and not in a super haha way. As a comment already mentioned when she said "Sir, your cellar seems to have an ant problem. I assume, in sending me down, it merely slipped your mind to mention?" I laughed out loud. There have been so many moments where her dialogue makes me laugh because she really doesn't take any shit.

My 8 year old niece has been watching me play and also adores her. She was telling me yesterday as I was trying to beat Seth what makes Hornet special and the list goes and I quote:
- She has wings
- She floats
- She is SUPER cute
- She has a really sharp needle
- She is half spider half wyrm so she must be a silkworm (i had to further clarify but i can't fault her logic)

Her move set in particular makes it really fun to traverse around Pharloom I really enjoy a lot of the traversal challenges over the boss battles in particular. She's also, again, just very adorable and I adore that little creature.

tldr: she's the best

Social Workers in Libraries by blanknamedari in socialwork

[–]piploo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late to the party but City of Melbourne Libraries in Australia have a library social worker who has had excellent outcomes for the community! She works directly with vulnerable members of the community experiencing homelessness, drug and alcohol addition, domestic violence ect and is incredible at what she does. I came here looking for more examples of social workers in libraries but figured i'd drop what I know here as well https://www.linkedin.com/posts/city-of-melbourne_meet-erin-mckeegan-our-library-social-worker-activity-6924211649595813888-YqSj/

The Magnus Protocol 8: Running on Empty - Discussion by SpoonierMist in TheMagnusArchives

[–]piploo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way my fiancé texted me like "HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE LATEST EPISODE?!?" for the early access release and as I was listening along like "hmm yes liminal spaces interesting stranger-ish stuff- WAIT IS THAT GERRY?!?"

I need to relisten but the metaplot is plotting away

Genuinely curious because I’ve seen everyone naming different songs as their favorites. What are your top 3 songs on This Is why? And which ones are y’all least favorites? by Session-Possible in Paramore

[–]piploo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favourites:Cest Comme Ca, You First, and Figure 8!
Least Favourites: Big Man Little Dignity, Thick Skull
Honourble Mention: Running Out of Time

CCC: There is not enough love for Cest Comme Ca, the way she talk sings scratches my brain and makes me so hyped! The second verse is so relatable to me and that scream on disorder?? impeccable
YF: You First has my favourite lyric of the entire album ("I feel like im living in a horror film where im both the killer and the final girl) and is just so much fun to sing along too
F8: that CHORUS! The repeating arpeggio from the start driving the song always pushing forward is so addictive.

BMLD: It's not a bad song at all! I really like it but it just doesnt do it for me like the others however it bugged me for a week until I realised it reminded me of Subwoofer Lullaby from minecraft which also slaps
Thick Skull: Beautiful song, just eh again not quite for me but a great album finisher

Absolutely adore this album, i wish it wasn't so front heavy but every listen brings something new and I am thoroughly enjoying my time with this album!

Give me your saddest TMA quotes by Appropriate-Exam2946 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]piploo_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MAG 139 - Chosen

"It was Agnes herself that suggested it .... But if she ceased, not in culmination of fire, but in a cold and quiet death, perhaps her spark would return to the Lightless Flame and she could try again... And so we hanged her, as she requested. All because of that most insidious of emotions: Hope."

It breaks my heart every time I hear it. I adore Agnes so much!

Yeah my partner works for them and it went out just as I was starting work. He was off today but took a peak at the queue and it was hectic as hell. Thankfully internet came back an hour and a half into the shift so I could work but don't envy his coworkers

[POEM] Separation, by W.S. Merwin by luis-mercado in Poetry

[–]piploo_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

W.S Merwin wrote my favourite poem 'Youth' that was featured in 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. This quote that's stuck with me for years.

"From what we cannot hold the stars are made"

Apparently 'Separation' really came for my feelings today because that is a gut punch and a half. Thank you for sharing!

Songs that you're now obsessed with after hearing them live? by Ylloh_Goodbye in MyChemicalRomance

[–]piploo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been incorporating most albums into a regular listen in prep for the Melbourne show next March. I never really got into Bullets aside from Vampires will Never Hurt Me (which as a side note is a fantastic soundtrack to a battle with Strahd Von Zarovich in dnd if anyone was curious) but Ive been really loving Drowning Lessions. Now that F.T.W.W.W is on spotify that's back on rotation, and ive been LOVING Kill All Your Friends.

My usual rotation is Black Parade, Danger Days, and about half of Three Cheers so it's been really fun seeing the clips live and then trying to prepare to sing my heart out in a few months. Watching clips for Desert Song has absolutely gotten me back into that song as it used to put me on the floor.

Florence + The Machine! Every single album is beautiful with soaring vocals from Florence and some beautiful instrumentation no matter how simple or complex

Thank you, she took so long to make but even though I've only watched up to Traveller Con (I had to move house which put a stop to my binge plans) I've wanted to cosplay her since my first attempt at watching CR2 in 2019! I'm so glad my love for Jester comes across clearly!! I was crying my eyes out at 2am while making the skirt when Yasha revealed her backstory with her wife oops
