  1. Pres. Biden Visits 2022 Detroit Auto Show

    No, I think he has a point there. The dynamics of the supreme court are quite different now. So we can't be certain they will follow precedent. The overturning of Roe v Wade showed they are comfortable going against previous rulings.

  2. Loads of time or games?

    I mean, I am not gonna lie I still do that. But it usually has consequences for me since I am studying part-time and working full-time. While the work you do is so admirable, that definitely would take a toll on your time and energies.

  3. FF VII remake treatment

    Shamelessly stealing this from a thread I saw a while ago on the Final Fantasy subreddit. But it expanding it. Are there any retro/classic games that you would like to see given the same remake treatment that has been given to Final Fantasy VII?

  4. Loads of time or games?

    I am in the same situation as you. I already have way too many games and way too little time to actually play them. Somehow my continued strategy of buying more than I can play isn't working. 😅😅 I would prefer the abundance of time option, as I feel when that was my gaming situation I loved it.

  5. White House Criticizes Florida Migrant Stunt

    While I see it as being quite a vindictive and dehumanizing move to play with people's lives like this, I do think this will energize his base. These sort of theatrics and games are quite targeted to appeal to those whose votes he is courting. There has been support forthcoming. However I am...

  6. PSVR2 not backwards compatible

    Kotaku have reported that it was revealed during an interview that the PSVR2 will be unable to play PSVR 1 games. The reason given was that the tech is forward looking and they didn't want to diminish the experience. What are your thoughts on this? Do many of you here use VR for your gaming at...

  7. The Cultures of Language

    Yes, language like culture shows incredible variety and diversity. You find that across generations and through social spaces there can be so much diversity demonstrated in the ways that people communicate with each other. Which is especially interesting given the relationship between culture...

  8. What genre?

    I play a fair amount of gaming genres I love RPGs, Platformers and Horror games. I don't really enjoy survival games, mobas, or looter shooters.

  9. Last Game/Match Watched?

    NRL semi final Eels vs the Raiders, it literally just finished. Eels are through to the preliminary final!! Absolutely dominated! Eels are just two wins out from being the premiers for 2022!! Eels 40 Raiders 4

  10. Is a university degree necessary to get a good job?

    I think there was a misunderstanding with my last reply. As I am not advocating for university qualifications being used as a gatekeeping measure.

  11. Is a university degree necessary to get a good job?

    To be honest, I hadn't realized that your stance was the complementary strand to the view that I presented in my post. After I read your post I ended up reading a BBC article on it and I totally agree with what you are saying. I had initially been focusing more on how it plays a limiting role...

  12. Top 3 YouTube Channels

    Ryan George, I follow him for the humour on his channel. He doesn't take himself seriously and his videos appeal to my sense of humour. A lot of hypothetical videos about how what we take for granted might have originated. Things like where names of fruits and colours came from as well as the...

  13. legal minimum age for buying alcohol

    There is no legal age to drink alcohol in New Zealand. The legal age for purchasing is 18. Also consumption under the age of 18 can only happen under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. I grew up here so it makes sense to me.

  14. earning money or spending money?

    You have to spend money to make money. I have the spending part locked down. 😂

  15. Last Game/Match Watched?

    NRL qualifying final Sharks vs Cowboys. It was all level at halftime, fulltime, end of extra time and finally the Cowboys won it in golden point. I don't support either team but it was an exciting game.

  16. Added to the Olympics?

    Definitely! Having them at the Olympics can only be good for the international game. As ideally the game really thrives when more teams are competitive. It is something union does better than league. But league has been improving. Also the eyes of some match officials are astounding. With all...

  17. Added to the Olympics?

    Yes! I am totally biased as it is my favourite sport to watch. But it would be a great addition. Would also be a leveling sport which would allow some of the smaller countries a serious shot at a medal.

  18. Added to the Olympics?

    I would like to see rugby league added. It is looking like their 9s format will be part of the 2032 Olympics too.

  19. Favourite Pizza Places?

    I would probably say my two favourites would be Domino's and Hell Pizza.

  20. Incompetence on the Stump...

    I remember there was a time when such incoherence being demonstrated by a political actor would truly astonish me. Sadly the more I have learned about politics and political history, the more I have realized that people like him are not really outliers. That sort of nonsense has a long history...
