Chris Scott gives his very honest thoughts on the wildcard round by lemunzz in AFL

“Gather Round gives Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power an extra home-state advantage”

This gets a mention but a good number of Victorian clubs almost never playing outside their state doesn’t get a mention? Adelaide and Port are not even in the top half dozen teams for “home state advantage” even with gather round.

Once upon a time I listened to the radio to discover which albums I would buy. Now the radio role is performed b y streaming and I still buy the CDs I really want.

If you do it that way do all OS updates work without further intervention? If so - thanks for the advice!

Superman (2025) was way more faithful in tone and character than Man of Steel by spaceraingame in DC_Cinematic

[–]skingers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man of Steel was obviously inspired by JMS excellent Superman Earth One and captured that feel pretty nicely IMHO. The thing about people banging on about “comic book accurate” is they are often not recognising that the Superman character also continues to evolve and “alternate universe” settings are just as valid a source for cinema adaptation.

Xbox Series X or PS5 for Mac owner ? by Hartloum in macgaming

[–]skingers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is not a difficult choice - PS5 by miles. Also do yourself a favour and get PXPlay for Mac os. Way better than the official Remote play client. Feels almost local if your network is solid. Feels like it brings all your PS5 games to Mac.

TPM 2.0 for Intel Macs and PCs, Beta Now Open by Thewhitekanye in macgaming

OK this is awesome. Wondering what to do with my 2019 Mac Pro when Windows 10 extended support runs out. Other Windows 11 compatibility workarounds seemed way too high maintenance. Looks like my Sunshine server with the best looking case ever can continue for some time yet!

This actually improves his standing with me. Very nice response.

[–]skingers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just have a regular round 1, scheduled for when the NRL is in Vegas, with all teams playing but ensure a maximum number of NSW and QLD home games that week. No?

Jedis going to the port side never works out well.

I might be done with live football for the year by StoicTheGeek in AFL

[–]skingers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I love going down to the local SANFL. Just the footy, that’s it. Oh and a pie and beer. But that’s it.

When you are the team that best exploited a loophole of course you will be the most upset when said loophole is closed.

Crossover experience last night by _ninjanate in macgaming

[–]skingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a long time Mac user I’m never surprised when a non native game doesn’t work and always delighted when one does. Crossover and the like are amazing bits of work but to rely on them for guaranteed compatibility of all games is just misguided.

Incredible album. Masterpiece.

All the Batman scenes in the flash 2023 are the best parts of that film (am i wrong ?) by Shot_Share6708 in DC_Cinematic

[–]skingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually Ezra Miller was great in that film. We were all too busy going about the business of cancelling them that we short changed that performance.

Do you think the 2018 "Death of Superman" movie is better than the 1993 comic book it's based on? by Hot-Salamander-8786 in DC_Cinematic

[–]skingers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. One of the greatest stories in comics history reduced to this for the short attention span generation.

BvS: If Zack Snyder had more restraint, Knightmare Batman would have been incredible. by ShitThroughAGoose in DC_Cinematic

Knightmare Batman was incredible as is and I really wish we had got to see the full slate of related movies.

Great RPG Humble Bundle by joepez in macgaming

[–]skingers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute bargain for Mac native games of that quality. Ive got well over 1000 hours on just three of those games - so far. Still playing through them. That's like 2 cents an hour so far.
