  1. Biden is at 38 percent approval, down from 41 percent last week. No blue wave coming!

    I am not particularly surprised to see this, he has been a weak and ineffective leader. The compromises he made with the left, which if we are being honest we didn't expect him to keep, have been whittled down to being all but meaningless. The Democrats are a right wing party, so it is folly to...
  2. Favorite sports teams?

    Haha I am surprised to get the shoutout considering how poorly we have been performing lately. The feedback from fans on them here in New Zealand has been savage. Not that I agree with the extent of it at all. Rugby League: (NRL)The Warriors but I also support the Eels, (International) Kiwis...
  3. The Nintendo Switch has 55 first/second party titles that became million sellers

    I have twenty from that list. Although how many of them have I even finished? I think most I haven't even gotten to end credits. 😅😅 There are some good games on that list though. The ones I did finish I really enjoyed. I am also really wanting to play/finish plenty more.
  4. How did you buy your game consoles and games when young?

    I had a part-time job delivering circulars, the pay was pretty bad. But it was enough for me to get a PS2, Turok: Evolution, This is Football 2002, a second controller, and a memory card. I didn't buy games all that often, especially as I got the PS2 on hire purchase. That ate my monies for a...
  5. Pay to be a member forums

    I wouldn't directly pay for a forum in and of itself, as I am too used to not needing to do so. However I have gained membership to forums through paid membership when the forum was used as a means of communicating and coordinating with other members. Would that still count? I wasn't paying to...
  6. How much can we trust our governments?

    I think fundamentally you and I disagree about the nature of capitalism. But we do so in such a way that we are both in the very least suspicious of the state. You because you think they have turned too far away from capitalism and me because I think they are too capitalist. We even both look at...
  7. Biden Administration Set To Announce Student Loan Debt Decision

    The way they instituted their student loan system makes no sense to me. I will absolutely agree that the implantation of it was ridiculously bad. They guaranteed the loans, provided the funds to the lenders interest free and let the lenders charge interest for the loans. Obviously the banks were...
  8. How much can we trust our governments?

    Whether it is crony capitalism or not, is not the point I was trying to make with my post. It was simply that the dominant world system we have had for the past few centuries has been a capitalist one. The state played a key role in creating the conditions necessary for the emergence and...
  9. Biden Administration Set To Announce Student Loan Debt Decision

    Education should not be limited to those of wealth and used as a gatekeeping means. The cost of tuition and the loan system essentially prevent significant amounts of prospective students from seriously being able to consider higher studies. The added financial pressure and stresses also see...
  10. Which way makes society better?

    He would totally deserve it though. He is such a hack.
  11. Coffee or tea?

    I like both, but my preference would be for coffee. Since moving there is now a street coffee vendor about a one minute walk from my house too. So winning! :D :D
  12. did you grow up with both parents?

    Bold of you to assume I ever grew up. :LOL: :LOL: I lived with both parents though.
  13. Gender survey!

    Even sex itself is influenced so strongly through societal and cultural constructs. The way we think about and interpret our bodies and ourselves is determined in large part by sociocultural factors. More than that, these factors even influence our development itself as embodiment happens...
  14. Last Game/Match Watched?

    The Roosters actually won that game 18 -14 over the Storm. Which means that the game between the Eels and the Storm will decide who finishes the regular season in 4th place! Haha and that Roosters v Storm game was the last one I watched too!
  15. Last Game Played

    I went back onto the Final Fantasy train and have started playing the Final Fantasy 5 Pixel Remaster. When I finish this, which will be a while away, it will just leave 2, 3 and 6 of the pixel remasters.
  16. Stray

    I was really excited about this game when they announced it, and it remained an anticipated game for me. I did enjoy it when I started playing it, but I seemed to slip out of it. I still need to go back and finish it, which is shocking as I have heard that it is really short. I think a...
  17. game you thought you'd like but actually hated?

    Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22, that game was so bad. Back then I only got one or two games a year and to think I wasted it on this trash. I think for a while after this experience I wouldn't buy games without reading reviews first. I just totally trusted that Dragon Ball Z would make for a...
  18. Chit Chat Zone

    Yeah, haha we are understaffed too. So the struggle is real. 😆😆It is my Friday though and uni break starts tomorrow so YAY!! Happy to hear you are good. 😁😁
