  1. Playstation Plus Price Hike

    It has been announced this week that there is going to be a significant increase in the cost of annual subscriptions to all the tiers of Playstation Plus by over 30%. I was quite excited initially about what would be offered with the premium service, as I was hoping they would go a lot further...

  2. Last Game Played

    What platform would you be thinking of getting it on? I am playing it on PS5, which is also impacting how I am playing the game. I think the fact I am going for trophies is making my experience worse in some ways. Both in terms of doing more of the repetitive boring elements of the open world...

  3. Last Game Played

    I have been playing Cyberpunk 2077. It unfortunately still has bugs and issues which are holding it back from being a more enthralling experience. I am enjoying it, but those issues make it hard at times. Just two nights ago I had a corrupted save file issue and lost over an hour of gameplay. 😬😬

  4. Favourite PlayStation 1 title?

    There were a few titles I really loved on the original PlayStation. For my favourite I would probably go with Medievil. A game I still love a lot.

  5. Live streamed murder-suicide

    The Christchurch shooting was streamed on Facebook when it happened in New Zealand. Streaming killings will probably become more common.

  6. Do You Wear Glasses?

    Nope, I don't wear glasses. I do have them though, I am just too lazy to wear them. Although I remember being amazed at how much better PS4 games looked when I got my glasses. :LOL: :LOL:

  7. Bill to overturn racist New Zealand citizenship law drawn

    A Green Party member's bill was drawn this week which would overturn a citizenship law which was passed in 1982. So at this point it is still awaiting first reading, but it will be interesting to see how parties vote. It should be a given that the Labour party will vote in favour of it given...

  8. What is your favorite Final Fantasy game(s)?

    For the longest time I used to say that IV was my favourite. I am not so sure now, I still enjoy it but it is my most played Final Fantasy game by far. So maybe I am getting a bit tired of it. I think most Final Fantasy titles I have enjoyed playing. Although I do still need to finish a few of...

  9. Has anyone played Crash Team Rumble?

    I haven't tried it, I was quite disappointed when I found out what genre of game it is. When I initially heard about it, I was excited because I misunderstood and thought it was a sequel to Crash Bash. So it was a game that I was anticipating. I hope you do enjoy it when you play it though.

  10. Should low quality university degrees be restricted?

    Absolutely agreed with this, access to university needs to be much more financially viable. The funding and loan structure over there is incredibly discouraging. The same talking heads which often complain about the educational achievement of students over there are often also diametrically...

  11. Are you on Truth Social App?

    The conversations, if you can call them that, just feel pointless over there. I still browse Twitter (X) but I rarely, if ever, comment. I don't think I post either. I have the single retweet for the year. One of my lecturer's follows me, so I am self-conscious of that.

  12. Florida black history cirriculum

    Agreed that it is incredibly troubling what is happening in Florida. This controversy is simply the latest in a string of controversies surround the educational curriculum there. That line in the context of the current controversies is incredibly problematic. There has been a lot of pushback...

  13. X sign removed from Twitter headquarters building after complaints

    Not gonna lie, I thought it was a pun because space X make rockets and you mentioned reaching new heights. 😅 😅 I did genuinely laugh at the pun when I read it too, as I find it very amusing. So I am hoping it was intentional, because it still amuses me.

  14. Should low quality university degrees be restricted?

    Even worse, you have possibly heard that Prager U has been approved as teaching material for Florida schools. It is part of their efforts to get their material taught in classrooms nationwide. Which is an extremely discouraging development and only backing up the concern that these proposed...

  15. How do you feel

    It doesn't particularly bother me, I can mostly just block them out. I find it pretty easy to slip into my own thoughts. I went to get fish and chips today and after initially noticing someone talking loudly on the phone I blocked them out to the point I didn't even notice them leave.

  16. Working on yourself?

    Yes, I think it is really important to be self reflective and to strive for self improvement. I try to be open to critiques and advice from other people. A close friend who used to work with me for instance highlighted a few areas that I should work on. One of these was to help address my own...

  17. Barbie (2023)

    Do they have the Aqua song in it?

  18. Are you on Truth Social App?

    No, I haven't joined the platform and don't have any intention of doing so. I don't tend to be very active on those kind of media to begin with. I can't imagine I would fit in very well given the perceived political persuasion of that community.

  19. If your best friend threatened you with a gun?

    It would really depend on the circumstances and what their plans were going forward. There could be any number of reasons for them to pull something like that. If they were going to take sincere steps to address the issue, such as getting professional help, then I would remain friends with them...

  20. AI and deception on the political trail

    Yep, the differences between Obama on the campaign trail and when he took presidency would definitely be one of them. He presented himself as a lot more left leaning and progressive than how he served his terms as president. Including times when the Democrats controlled both chambers. But it is...
