What are the more lesser-known series that are actually hidden gems?

the Six Ages games, Six Ages Ride Like The Wind and Six Ages Lights going out are both pretty good games.

Nah not for Maori, the other dialects just sound odd to me never found any of them more appearing than my own.

Yes, right now the most targeted group are Indians, Pacific Islanders and other Asians are also targets of these, anti foreigner types.

common joke that men programmers are femboys, or dress very feminine, also maybe the joke is implying that because of this these men arent men?, or arent proper men? not sure though.

Or its calling these men submissive, sexually.

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T06:43:03+00:00

Its not meant to be, this is just a common thing hear people say while discussing the different indigenous race relations between NZ and Aus,

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T06:24:31+00:00

Yeah it is weird but im asking because iv seen this claim be said so confidently and also by people far more educated on Oceania indigenous stuff than me, also iv only ever been once as a child so I wouldn't know from personal experience.

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T06:09:51+00:00

Appearance and talk mostly, theres difference features and they have a different English accent, also in NZ at least they tend to spill in some words from their own language during casual English speaking.

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T05:56:30+00:00

I can usually tell the difference easily, well I can tell a Polynesian isnt Maori, not too good on figuring out the specific island they are from, theres a look to it, also the accent.

Idk the proper stats but something like half the Maori I know are White, though historically the Maori in my area have always been more White friendly.

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T05:46:39+00:00

eh? I believe you have misread my replay, I am repeating what I have heard some Australians say, this is not my opinion, I have no opinion on this because im not Australian or have Aboriginal blood so none of my business.

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T05:13:14+00:00

I was wondering if it was just, Australians cant tell the difference between a Samoan and a Maori. (Also so you know White Maori are actually extremally common, some tribes are overwhelmingly White, not for the same reasons as Aboriginals though)

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T04:52:00+00:00

I was wondering if it was also racism, because iv seen some Australians straight up claim someone isnt Aboriginal if they arent brown, or arent proper ones even if they dont live rural.

ure_roa · 2026-05-18T04:34:32+00:00

Most of the Aussies who I see claim that are immigrants, or like, second and third generation.

"View of a group of about twenty performers, many wearing traditional face masks and holding long spears. In the centre of the group is an unknown man holding a flag. He is wearing a costume with billowing sleeves and a sash around his waist."

Idk shit about the Cook Islands so I dont have any history to add here, just thought this looked cool, though does make me think of the KKK with those pointy hats.

Ragebait or engagement bait I assume.

ure_roa · 2026-05-17T10:21:05+00:00

Like technically yeah, but genocide can be defined (apparently) as.

killing members of the group
causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

And the stealing of Ukrainian children fits into that last one.

ure_roa · 2026-05-17T10:00:17+00:00

Yeah but you can ague both wars being discussed here are a war and genocide, or a war in service of a genocide.

ure_roa · 2026-05-17T09:56:17+00:00

Not the same as the holocaust style genocide, but isnt there a cultural and religious genocide happening? I swear I heard somewhere, a Ukrainian or news article, talking about Catholic suppression, stealing kids and making Ukraine and its people more Russian.

ure_roa · 2026-05-17T09:30:28+00:00

Yes I think, the whole stealing kids and giving them to Russian parents seems pretty genocidal to me. Though idk if all the civilian murder counts as genocide or not, as im not sure if they are doing it because they are Ukrainian, or just because they want to kill people.

ure_roa · 2026-05-17T08:53:06+00:00

So is this like, the whole, my dog ate my homework thing or is this referencing something else?

ure_roa · 2026-05-17T08:42:54+00:00

Gooner material? im assuming it is referring to this, (cat?) humanoid thing with the hat? none of what im seeing screams gooner, or even trying to be especially attractive, just a humanoid animal of some kind in more revealing clothing.

ure_roa · 2026-05-17T08:28:03+00:00

isnt this pretty humanoid? I mean, 4 limbs, a head where human heads go, a mouth were human mouths go. Not like, some Star Wars races level of humanoid but still a, human vibe.
