@NZNationalParty They treat it like a flex, but it actually lost my vote. It's such a ridiculously one-sided deal that you just pushed through to say you did.

I have been wondering just this: WHY IN NEW ZEALAND? A country with 5 million people and geographically so isolated it makes NO SENSE. Any gamer will tell you about ping, latency and how data moves.
Calvin@RealCalvin1
The question people need to ask is what is the real reason for the sudden massive need for data centers everywhere?

@SkypeSpringham @BasicBishopNZ I'm with Kiwibank, but there's a couple of reasons I hear from others.
The biggest one is they are the quickest to deny home loan applications. So, people just go with the banks that will entertain them.
The second is that they mess around with fees too much.
English
@BasicBishopNZ I don't understand why people dislike banking with them? I've never banked with anyone else, so what makes them so bad/the others so much better?

@Daffwena They have a UBI policy of $370 a week. In your scenario, that person comes off $200 better off a week.
Tax bracket shifts play into it, but with their calculator, even I'd be $2k better off a year.
It's aimed at making being a landlord unattractive, not Joe Kiwi.
English
Terrifying TOP policy 1.75% annual land tax on land value. Eg, if you own a mortgaged home on land valued at $500,000 you pay $8750 per year or $168 per week land tax...FFS!! How could people (in that socioeconomic group) afford that +mortgage payments + rates + everything else?

@scotianova24 @sarbaughtina1 @creepydotorg @grok So her hair is a little brown, that means she's black? LOL

I don't think it's more than a 7 either (and I was born in 82, so I know what the culture I'm 99 was), but I think the bigger issue is reviews are pointless because it's just someone's subjective opinion and why the fuck should I care? Might as well ask the checkout operator for their take.
I enjoyed Vampire Rain, and most people seem to consider that one of the worst games ever made. 🤷

@PaulTassi I hate that I can't be against this game for pretty valid reasons without the culture war anti-woke weirdos doing this shit. It's a FINE game, the issue is that it's a 7 being paraded as a 10, not to mention it's just not what being a 90's alt kid is
English
Serious question what is the activism in a game about a bunch of straight white kids getting drunk in the 90s
WJFindláich@WJFindlaich
@PaulTassi Because activism and astroturfing does not belong in gaming. It really is that simple.
English
I really like the bit where the dad teleports in like Nightcrawler.

In 2002, I was at uni with someone who couldn't even get three Cs in Bursary and was studying to be a teacher. Way back in the day, it was hard to get into uni.
I'd be all for it being paid if you couldn't get in and just piss around.

How much did Winnie have to borrow to pay for his education when he went to university in the 1970s? My guess is $0.

@AverageDad40 @Shane58637790 I didn't realise Dredge was made in NZ. That's cool.
I haven't followed PikPok for a while, but they did make Monsters Ate My Condo back in the day, and that game slaps.
English
@Shane58637790 Dredge is really good. Chill game but a little scary.

i have just been doing a deep dive into video games made in NZ, let me just tell you any money the taxpayers have put in is wasted, our games industry is rubbish

@markhasbrain @reddit_lies Isn't that meant to be pansexual or something? Or has that evolved into loving a tumble dryer or whatever?

@GriftGod_ Algorithm showed me this. I don't know you, but just wanted to say I also enjoyed the fuck out of Anthem.
English
Can somebody who is not a retard explain to me how somebody else’s opinion on a video can “suck the fun out of a video game” if you enjoy it???
Need I remind you that I played 300 hours of anthem. THREEEEE HUUUUNDRED!
And despite all the negativity I still continued to play because I enjoyed it. Not one time did I ever feel down about the game because of the bad press.
Yall need to admit that you’re just made of puss and estrogen

@DestinLegarie Given the insane grind in the game, being able to finish the obnoxious contracts in a PvE mode would be welcome.
If Ziegler refuses to entertain that, some SBMM would be welcome.
I dropped off because I don't enjoy getting reamed. Some will say skill issue, but it's not a job.

I just flat out do not know what a Marathon pivot would be. Nothing that would help significantly, in any case

@DeonCupcake @bnd_studio Jenny seemed cool, though. She was nice to them and even had the social grace to make an exit during the fight.
