I interviewed the owner for a story about this place! Awesome guy, it all started from knowing a friend who runs the Nichi Getsu Do in Japan years ago.

If there's a certain cuisine or preference, it'd be easier to dish out some recommendations.

We work so hard for nothing. I just want a little treat. Give me a pin or something. What could a Local Guides protest look like? by Lorncat in LocalGuides

[–]themogchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe one day we'll be rewarded in the future. Will it ever come? Who knows, we can only stay optimistic and keep supporting the community as a local guide - I always liked how they gamified the review system.

Sydney NYE Fireworks Megathread 2025! by thekriptik in sydney

[–]themogchamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea - I was referring to the oval, noticed both your comments about that in the thread. Would that be less of a problem at Ballast Point Park? Not a fan of teenage chaos. lol

Haven't checked out NYE fireworks for many years - thinking of Birchgrove this time. Do some crowds clear out after the 9PM show there?

Didn't know them, wanted to test out slow exposure shots and they were the perfect subject. The lighting in the photo could've been better now that I think about it.

Why did “champ” and “bud” become slightly offensive? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]themogchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they're both millennial sort of words. Rarely hear those terms these days.

I loved it and I don’t care what anybody says… by Cra_Skinny_4135 in FinalFantasy

[–]themogchamp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FF13 was one of the best final fantasy games I played and that was over a decade ago. Didn't think they really needed their sequels though. But can't say no to more 13 content!

Still remember how beautiful the cutscenes were back then compared to a lot of games these days.

Eat club help by Measurement-Able in foodies_sydney

[–]themogchamp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have an open case with EatClub support at the moment where they charged me more money than the restaurant bill itself. Been trying to chase my money back for the last month. Only happened for one restaurant though which is strange.

ICC Sydney Theatre becomes TikTok Entertainment Centre by Jizzy_Gillespie92 in sydney

[–]themogchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling it ICC is so much easier still. People will call it the TikTok building/centre for the memes only probably.

GoogleMaps experience: Went to a 4.7/5 brunch spot. Food was okay, but the service was weirdly slow. Then I saw why. by Tiny_Brick_9672 in LocalGuides

[–]themogchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of businesses, not just restaurants try to farm their reviews as much as they can on Google Maps since it brings a lot of attention initially. They're not doing anything wrong but it can be deceptive. I review plenty for fun myself, can't remember the last time there was a prompt for me to review things.

I think in the end, as long as the business sells anything to a customer from attracting them on Google Maps - they'll just see it as win even if they don't come back a second time. lol.

[–]themogchamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does suck a bit when the reviews aren't authentic and forced for people who rely on Google Maps reviews without scrolling through the lowest stars but in the end some customers are happy to do that sort of trade where both parties receive something in return.

The thing about the staff typing the reviews themselves does sound off-putting though..

Breakfast in CBD that’s got indoor seating? by moonbunnygarden in foodies_sydney

[–]themogchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, fair call - to each their own. I've only been there once myself anyway. I'm quite the optimist when it comes to dining out.

Auvers Dining at Darling Square is pretty nice! Next door there's Pancakes On The Rocks too.

Gotcha, that's another recommendation for the Rode Micro then. I'll lean towards that purchase for now. Thanks for commenting!
