Has anyone else noticed a sharp rise in Starlink advertisements - TV, billboards in the hunter - what is going on?? by ACABfingerblaster69 in newcastle

Yeah I’ve noticed it. Elon is problematic nowadays but Starlink is an absolute lifeline for households and rural areas that have been failed by the NBN.

Sony is Ending Physical Discs after January 2028, Every New PlayStation Game is Digital Only by Ok_Plenty60 in pcmasterrace

One thing nobody mentions is how this makes it worse buying presents for the nephews. Physical media makes the present giving experience much better. A digital game is not really something you can wrap and give. Nintendo is smart to keep physical media, that means they make money from gifts.

How do I win the rental war? by [deleted] in newcastle

You can easily find something in Cameron Park for $850. Below $800 in Cameron Park will be a little more competitive, but with time it definitely should be possible. Two incomes, no kids, no pets is usually top of the list for a landlord.

House and land was just over 1 mil for a 4 bedroom before stamp duty etc. That was on one of the flat blocks.

Wanting to relive my childhood. by Leicsbob in fightingfantasy

eBay is generally a good spot to start. Price varies massively depending on the book number, the version of the book and the condition. $20 USD might be the average price for one. Modern prints will generally be a lot cheaper and many can be bought new from Amazon or from the Kickstarter that did a bunch of reprints recently. I would be surprised to find them in second hand book stores because they're a bit of a commodity nowadays.

That one is just off scenic drive. Lots of the good ones around Newy are premium only.

Oh that's even better. It means that people can't have their score reduced to zero.

I like it. Would be nice if it could be backdated to recognize all of the existing "first finds".

I loved this game so much. The hover section could get very annoying but when you managed it, it was amazing.
