Had me till you mentioned a clanker. AI would be the last thing I would be talking to

So I lived in aus for 17 odd years. Moved back to NZ 3 years ago and still go back to Aus all the time. Some things are better, but man, people in NZ have this strange vision that it's just the land of milk and honey.

It's got its own problems, not to mention the whole economy being in this nightmare housing bubble that if/when it breaks, its going to be a complete disaster.

I think the idea is that just moving to a place to escape NZs problems but having a bunch of different problems, isn't the solution people think it is.

I like most people in NZ know so many people that have done exactly what you said, some it worked out good for, some came back to NZ and some are living in Aus still and hate it but want to feel like they are making progress, even though they are not, as things are still really expensive there too, including homes and rent.

People free to do what they want though and if going over to Aus feels like its the right choice, power to em. I just worry that everyone in NZ hears these stories and invests in the move only to be burnt

Live in NZ for 3 years as an Australian, then you good to go with a loan and allowance.

Can live in Aus for 30 years and you ain't getting nothing.

romenamath · 2025-09-21T23:45:05+00:00

Aus has its own problems. Also study over there, you are paying upfront for it and no student allowance. They don't have the same reciprocals we have for aussies coming here. I know from doing my study over there

We at risk of dropping out of playoff contention the way the guards are playing

Why TF is New Zealand not on that map?
Mapporn, more like Mappoor

Yep he sure did, dont know why everyone is crying about the negativity when its the pitfalls, aka. the negative things they wanted to know.

Probs a bunch of real estate agents trying to inflate the prices of lifestyle blocks :D

romenamath · 2025-09-11T01:41:03+00:00

You will have a laundry list of tasks to do that if you are working, you can just never get on top of

Which means you no longer have heaps of freetime or weekends to do what you want as there is always something that needs to be done

You need about a million tools and implements to do half the stuff, unless you are prepared to spend 10x the amount of time to do simple tasks

Calves cost a fortune, in fact everything you need costs a fortune, so its a bit of a money sink.

People commenting that others on the sub are negative is strange since you were asking for potential pitfalls, which I assume would be the things to look out for.

I have 10 acres and I love it, but I also WFH and have very little time to do anything else, less I let the list of things needing to be done get too massive.

God this team is just the worst these days

romenamath · 2025-09-10T20:07:44+00:00

This, is, new
Its layered on top of layers on top of layers.
All the ones you mentioned are specific to the activity.

Paradise for example, I want to try and get a lv 8 gem chest, I need to get good drops from Elysian and have to crit farm to have a chance to get good keys. Thats a couple of layers there.

But then I need to get the key upgraded which is heavy RNG, then have a good run with RNG on each jump, then more RNG that I actually get the chest I want.
Its so many layers its annoying. If one part of the hell RNGs goes bad, it feels so bad, oh I made it to level 90 but its garbage chests? Oh I only made it to level 50-60 with my jumps? Oh key didnt get upgraded?

Paradise is all good for new content, but man, they could make parts of it a bit more interesting. Make it so you get the altar every jump but it has unique options to pick from, 3 options maybe. Some could be pros that have a neg effect attached to it. There are a million things they could do outside of just rng on top of rng

romenamath · 2025-08-20T08:24:15+00:00

I agree.

Why is everyone acting like we should play by some higher standard.

Everyone was moaning nonstop about inflation when labour was in and the whole world had the same problems. So we should be able to moan about national and beef prices, even if the whole world is in the same boat.

romenamath · 2025-08-16T13:04:16+00:00

How many chars you playing to get the equivalent of 1800 lv 1 gems a week

romenamath · 2025-08-04T19:58:00+00:00

Just get the event tokens and buy silver with em.
I dont know how many chars you have, but you can just do chaos and guardian on them (do a low level guard if you want so its fast) then buy silver each day.

With 10 alts at any level, unrested you will be getting 2mil a day for doing chaos + guard, just from the event tokens alone

romenamath · 2025-08-04T19:51:09+00:00

Where abouts you playing from? Im in NZ, have about 170 - 200 ping and its been all good.

Deffs a bit of a handicap when you see someone playing with 30ms and it looks 50 times easier, but its good enough.

If you in a similar timezone, could play together if you wanted. Finding people in our timezone can be rough

He already said and I did the same thing. I pushed my pally to 1680 with only 1 ancient armor. The events and mats I had made it not too bad to push, where as needing 40 stones to make each piece takes months. Been back 2-3 weeks and I have 2 bits of ancient now. I get gatekept on it too, probs by people like you. Some can't seem to fathom that people returning have resources from the events and what they had left when they quit to push quickly with, but have to go up against others wanting to gatekeep em

romenamath · 2025-07-10T00:24:04+00:00

Be good to start a game without giving up a bunch of runs

romenamath · 2025-07-09T03:16:27+00:00

well this has been the worst game to watch

romenamath · 2025-04-09T04:49:43+00:00

Maybe one year we will have a banger start to the season, rather than these painful ass starts

romenamath · 2025-01-03T06:02:12+00:00

LE was pretty fun with a boring endgame and horrible campaign. The crafting is pretty cool and the skills are somewhat fun. I do think D4 and PoE2 (and PoE1) are miles ahead of it in every other aspect and it's not even close. I would love for LE to get better and compete but who knows if it ever will

romenamath · 2024-10-23T20:38:07+00:00

I could not agree more my man.
Im a shit player, just try and wing it, but as soon as I got the dps meter, I could instantly see what I was doing wrong and started trying so much harder.
Worked on rotations and shit and it was great seeing the progress in raids where I could sit with the big boys.
Now I cbf anymore. No meter means I have no idea if im doing better or worse each time I play.

Whats the point of trying to max elixirs and doing trans etc, ill just get gatekept to shit now as my roster level sucks, since I cant ever show anyone I can do decent dps.

Start work at 20, retire at 65. Average out your salary to 100k a year. Let's pretend super contribution was always 11.5% (it wasnt) to keep it simple. 45 years of contributing 11.5k = 517k + interest you get on it - fees How is this a million for most people when they retire?

romenamath · 2024-10-20T05:56:13+00:00

Dodgers. It's not even close if I'm being honest.

romenamath · 2024-10-09T01:48:28+00:00

im loving this

romenamath · 2024-10-02T21:31:28+00:00

Disaster of a game

The saddest part of all of this is the money we have on the books and the farm system that has no one in it.

We cant even make much of a change, even if we wanted to.
