That’s just flat out wrong. Plenty of bars and pubs have Superbowl events here in Melbourne. In the US it’s Superbowl Sunday but what with time difference the game is actually played here around midday on a Monday, so many bars open specially for the game. They have chicken wing food specials and decorations and things.
If I’m being totally honest I think some of the popularity might be that it gives people an excuse to take a day off work and go to the pub first thing on a Monday, but everyone has a good time.
Even people who don’t go to events and don’t care about the football will look up the halftime show on YouTube or whatever, especially last year when Kendrick Lamar played, or the Xmas game where Beyonce did a halftime show.
- Comment on US gave Ukraine and Russia a June deadline to reach agreement to end war, Zelenskyy says 2 weeks ago:
I kind of think “equally terrible” might be an overstatement here.

Ya there really isn’t enough negativity in the media these days.

I’ve found Australia very accepting and progressive provided I don’t leave the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne.

- Comment on CrankBoy - the original Game Boy game emulator for the Playdate console (my article) 5 months ago:
For anyone else whose never heard of a playdate console before it appears the crank on the side is “used for gameplay in select titles” rather than, as I hoped, a way to power the device like those old timey radios.
Still looks great, good article and more power too them! (Tho not via crank)
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 6 months ago:
Darkest Dungeon 2. Really like the dark and sinister style. Narrator has a great voice and the creatures look fantastic.
Gameplay is definitely on the challenging side but I’m enjoying it.

That website had a crazy amount of publicity lately here in Melbourne because it was involved in a triple homicide case!
A lady was found guilty of murdering some family members of her ex-husband at a lunch by serving poisonous mushrooms she located using iNaturalist. Cooked into a Beef Wellington, of all things.
The trial was something of a sensation, seemed like it was all anyone talked about for the couple months it was going on.
The guilty last, Erin Patterson, is currently awaiting sentencing.

- Comment on Truth-telling inquiry finds Australia’s indigenous people faced genocide 7 months ago:
It made 100 recommendations based on the four-year, Aboriginal-led royal commission, which investigated past and ongoing impacts of colonisation in Victoria.
Not an Australian but living in Victoria. I think the “Aboriginal-led” is the big point of difference in this investigation.

Ya want to keep up to date with local bands, gigs and venues in my city there’s really no alternatives to IG.
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 8 months ago:
I’ve never managed to watch the whole series. There’s great bits but I get super uncomfortable with Walters bumbling, flagrant dishonesty with his wife and family. I get the same thing with a few different shows and I just don’t enjoy it. To the point where I find myself just switching the TV off mid way through a scene and going to do something else without even really thinking about it.
If I had to describe the sensation it would be “extreme toe-curling cringe”.

Would be my first time playing rimworld. Would it work without a keyboard?

Was thinking of getting back into pillars of eternity 2 but thought you needed a bit of keyboard, like number keys?
People have suggested some RTS titles but I can’t imagine playing them without group numbers and force attacks a d things…
