    Yeah, I was fortunate I visited before the earthquake. I can't imagine what it would be like to live through such devastation. It can be quite draining trying to travel around Auckland like that. I am fortunate I was too young when I lived there, and didn't really get an interest in malls till...

  2. Unemployment

    Oh! Yes, that does sound familiar! I have a friend who is studying and he missed out on a communication regarding his student loan. So had to restart his application from scratch. That is really shocking.

    I was only there until I was 12, but I do agree that it is really big. My family moved around a lot while I was growing up, there is so much variety and difference. Since then if I went it was usually for a very specific thing, so I didn't see much of Auckland at all. Christchurch is quite nice...

  4. Unemployment

    I am not sure how bad it is now, since it has been so long since I have had to deal with either of them. But the absolute lack of communication between relevant areas of the MSD was atrocious. Although this can't be helped by the quotas that their staff are (were?) required to meet. That is...

    Ah nice nice, I am originally from South Auckland. Spent most of my Intermediate years and all of my high school years in Tauranga before moving to Palmerston North. I have almost been here 20 years now, which is amazing as I never thought I would be here so long.

  7. Unemployment

    Ministers in charge definitely play a role in it. They can go a long way towards framing political discourses. Although I would say that the two you mention are more guilty of continuing trends and political cultures that were already in place. The electorates are now in a situation where they...

  8. Unemployment

    I am not sure if I would call our welfare system in New Zealand a very good one. I think that we have largely followed trends in other countries in scapegoating welfare recipients. All too often they are not treated as people but are rather demonized for cheap political points. Payments and...

  9. School Dress Code

    Uniforms themselves are not something that I have an issue with. They can be somewhat of an equalizer as it can drive down the cost of school clothing/ This of course depends on how it is implemented. It should be done in such a manner to be as economically inclusive as possible. Although...

  10. Menstrual Leave

    Absolutely agreed with you on this. There should be sufficient sick leave provided to employees to cover occasions when they are too unwell to make it into work. It should be a given that menstruation leave should likewise be adequately covered for as part of this.

  11. Last Game Played

    Still Xenoverse 2, I am trying to improve my relations with Piccolo since I need to max his and Gohan/Videl as trainers in order to initiate the process of unlocking beast mode.

  12. Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4

    I think it definitely also helps if you enjoy the source material that they are drawing from. It is quite a crucial element that I am currently rewatching all of the Dragon Ball series, as that does add to the enjoyment of playing through Dragon Ball titles. Although that by itself isn't enough...

  13. Last Game Played

    Went back to Xenoverse 2, trying to make progress in the hero colosseum. 😆

  14. Rate the Last Movie(s) You've Watched

    I just finished watching Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes a few minutes ago and I really enjoyed it. I am not surprised as I tend to really enjoy Dragon Ball movies. I particularly liked this one though. I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting to and am lowkey wondering if it was a mistake...

  15. Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4

    It would be really nice if it could recapture that experience. Even with the limited playtime I had with it, I enjoyed it. I am also really curious to see how it differentiates itself from the Xenoverse series, which is one that I am much more familiar with. I loved both Xenoverse 1 and 2...

  16. Favourite Characters in the "Tales" Games?

    Nice nice, hopefully you enjoy them! I would possibly avoid playing the remaster of Symphonia Chronicles on Switch though as I have heard there are issues with how badly it runs.

  17. Favourite Characters in the "Tales" Games?

    Yep, I fell in love with them from the first game I played in their series. I have played 6 of them till end credits so far. Even my least liked of them, I still enjoyed. They are quite an enjoyable series.

  18. Favourite Characters in the "Tales" Games?

    None other than the acclaimed, the illustrious Mazhigigka Miludin do Din Nolurun Dou! Fricken loved Magilou in Tales of Berseria, she was amazing. I also enjoyed Edna from Tales of Zestiria. Both of them amused me a lot with their personalities. Which is impressive from Edna given the Zestiria...

  19. What game are you playing?

    Switch, it is their latest entry. I have the counterpart Pokemon Scarlet. I am still playing the FF7 Remake but I am also playing Budokai 3 from the HD collection.

  20. Last Game Played

    Still playing the FF7 Remake and am getting closer to the end. I am still quite enjoying it. I am at the start of chapter 15 now.
