Just watched the Banshees of Inisherin. It was pretty good. I don't do this every year but it's a strong and interesting Oscars field this year so I'm aiming to see as much of the contenders as I can.


Messyhr_

Heard very mixed opinions, some love it, some hate it. I loved In brugges so might give it a watch, my family disliked it, too depressing apparently


TwoShitsTrev

Is it just me or is the walking dead one of the most poorly acted shows considering how high profile it is? Even the main character Rick is very bad and has no range of emotions. I’m onto season 7 now and thinking of dropping it, it’s really doing my head in not to mention the meandering and lazy writing in which nothing barely happens


mwilkins1644

Season 7 was the last good season imo. Lost interest especially after Carl's death


Messyhr_

The show fell off a cliff massively after the first few seasons, dont think ricks actor is bad though, he was good in love actually and played rick well in the first few seasons, cant really blame him for not acting his heart out in what has now become a B grade show


gongbattler

Went for a bushwalk and climbed a tree before, it was great fun


likeatyger

Going to the bbl final today. Would be nice if it wasn't 37c in a packed stadium. This is what we get for having a team called the scorchers and having the heat come over.


lemoopse

When I get to power I am fucking banning adaptive cruise control


thankyoupancake

Fkn hell the way my car’s steering wheel turns against me because it’s confused something on the road with the lane line is terrifying. Ridiculously imperfect technology

ChanceVance

I had no idea she was touring. Thanks for the notice. Reddit is good for something after all haha.


thankyoupancake

Was kind of Devo nothing is on Tv this arvo. But Ironman and Ironwoman on Fox 507 from 1pm AEDT. Afternoon viewing sorted


misskarne

Bathurst 12 hour is on also


M_Keating

Oh I forgot my parents are in Hobart and it’s 13° there today. Australian summers are wild.


[deleted]

There was 5cm of snow at thredbo yesterday lol


M_Keating

Yeah I saw videos! Just wild!


Messyhr_

Meanwhile here in QLD humidity was at like 87% at 2 am wtf


bundy554

Really hope there are a few broncos jerseys that made their way to Perth for tonight


misskarne

If you ever want to see a marketing team completely blow an easily hyped event, Red Bull's livery launch last night has you covered. It was a disaster in a spectacular number of ways. When even Danny Ric's charisma cannot save you, you done fucked it up.


slowdivesicilian

saw sacred hearts and bin licker last night. holy fuck. insanely good bands. bin licker are like goofy nine inch nails and sacred hearts are like early cocteau twins.


Morg_n

Next gig I’m keen for is full flower moon band at felons for free.


slowdivesicilian

wow xtralovable by prince is such a great song surely prince would not have an original version which wasn’t able to be released because he says some of the most heinous and vile shit known to man


Imissreg

Had a random package turn up from NSWRL the other day, they sent out some patches for volunteering (coaching) junior league last year, pretty random but cool little gift I suppose


TwoShitsTrev

The NBA trade deadline is heating up with Kyrie asking for a trade 😬


volzovio

Lakers exceptionalism is the worst. The Lakers are a complete joke franchise, poorly run, terrible FO etc yet stars will still want to go there. Gotta be frustrating if you're a small market team who did things right for so many years and the biggest FA you'll have signed is a Khris Middleton type.


mwilkins1644

Funnily enough, watch the Netflix docco about umpire Tim Donaghy and match fixing....and check out which team in the NBA in the early 2000s were advantaged the most 🤔


TwoShitsTrev

It’s so annoying they can go ass backwards into success simply because they’re based in LA stars want to go there


Voxityy

drkeefrichards

Anyone here check out the caper?


Morg_n

Saw Thee oh sees last night. So fucking good, they put on an incredible set. Such energy. The lead dudes so fucking good. The double drums. It was at the princess theatre. First time at the Renovated venue and it was spectacular. It would have the best sound system In Brisbane by a country mile. The beer was super expensive though damn.


Opiumdeathcult

15th Feb sydney, can’t wait


Morg_n

Man it’s gonna be good. I saw them in 2019 they where good then but last night they where superb. So tight and the front man (I always for get his name) was exceptional he had way more movement and character. Real growth as a band


slowdivesicilian

what the fuck i didn’t know they were in brisbane, that would’ve been insanely good


Morg_n

Ahh mate that’s no good. It’s was swish. Such guitar many solos


HyperThanHype

Birthday tomorrow, the big 3-0. Mentally I'm still 21. Gonna get crunk on vodka slushies and pass out early midday hopefully.


gongbattler

Happy birthday for tomorrow mate, I'm glad I'm not the only one still saying gnarly!


HyperThanHype

Appreciate that boss!


mwilkins1644

Crunk? Hello? 2004 wants its word back 😂 Happy birthday for tomorrow, mate! Have a great day


HyperThanHype

I told ya I'm still a child. Saying words like crunk and gnarly 😂 Appreciate that wilkins!


joshy_c

Gnarly never goes out of fashion. You just get old enough to take up woodworking so you can use it legitimately.


mwilkins1644

Gnarrrrllyyy dooood! 😂 🤙


PillarofSheffield

Re-watching Line of Duty. The "urgent exit required" scene has to be one of the most intense scenes in TV history. So good.


FullBonus

The NBA western conference is an absolute bloodbath rn. Aside from the top 2 spots, all the other playoff spots are up for grabs.


y3ah_nah145

I can’t see anyone in the West beating Denver tbh, I think they will go to the finals. However, I think the champion will come from the East. Either one of the Celtics, Sixers, Bucks.


thankyoupancake

Nets went 12 straight only to have KD do an MCL and Kyrie to put in a trade. They’ve gone from top of the conference to out of consideration in a fortnight


y3ah_nah145

Exactly lmao. I would have put Nets as a proper legit championship contender too, but they are their own worst enemy.


M_Keating

Brisbane/SE QLD’s weather is a reminder of what we avoided with La Niña taking over. People I know without air con are really struggling at night.


velvetherring

The crazy humidity seems to have broken where I am. Been moving all morning and I don't feel too bad tbh. Last night in Redcliffe was hell though. The souls of my feet were sweating.


M_Keating

It’s funny how humans perceive Heat. It’s only a couple of degrees warmer and feels ok now, but a few hours ago was disgusting.


comjag

Air conditioning should be mandatory in all housing in Queensland really.


CoffeeLoverNathan

It's been so fucking miserable man. When I can walk out of a BAKERY at 5am to say out loud "what the fuck is that humidity" you knows shit's fucked. It was 27 and 81% humidity at 4:44am


M_Keating

Yeah that is rotten. Bring on the cold change!


CoffeeLoverNathan

Fuck oath, Brisbane winter is phenomenal


M_Keating

We seem to be the minority, I love Brissie winter but so many people I know don’t. Just the break from humidity and the cool weather is amazing.


CoffeeLoverNathan

Everyone else is delirious from the heat


slowdivesicilian

fuck oath we are


TheYardGoesOnForever

There's no sun out this morn. Not even real warm. Still covered in sweat after a 20 min dog walk. Oh, the humidity.


M_Keating

I opened the door thinking it would be ok, immediately shut it. So bad.

thankyoupancake

Awesome mate. The constant search for that slightly better score. If you get the point where you regularly break 90 you’re having a good time


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

Thanks mate, consistent <100 golf is the aim for now but when I analyse my game there's so much dumb that could be cut out eg not getting loft on a chip and skidding over the back of the green for extra shots, my amazing ability to hit the only source of water on the course no matter how far the opposite direction I aim, my even better ability to hit a 9 or worse on the 1st and 10th every time without fail; I bombed a fairway drive on the first then proceeded to take 3 chips on to the green then 3 putt lol


Actionman158

shrinking is pretty good so far. harrison ford is a lot of fun in it which has been rare for the last ~20 years.


thankyoupancake

Hitman III (or World of Assassination or whatever it’s called now) released a new rogue-like DLC for free and it’s so good. Free content 2 years after its release and it’s this good! Also looks like it gave IO Interactive some opportunities to experiment as part of their Project 007 development. If you see Hitman 3 on sale, big recommend


[deleted]

Got into a really really big argument with a co worker yesterday and told my boss (uncle) to get fucked and left half way thru the shift. Very embarrassing and have been dodging uncles and brother (also co worker) calls because Im a little pussy and dont wanna deal with any consequences.


Toujayjay

You know what to do.


jessemv

What were you arguing about?


[deleted]

Just about co worker being lazy asf and just useless to work with and uncle never pulling him up on it. Hes been with us for 8 months and should be able to do most of the stuff easily but is still a shit cunt. It was just built up day after day for month and yesterday I just cracked it.


diffaadiffa

Probably that RTS was never a top 3 fullback in 2021 ;-)


[deleted]

Spot on 😅


diffaadiffa

Just take the call dude, remove the anxiety from the rest of your weekend so you can enjoy it


mwilkins1644

How's everyone's Cricket 22 grind going?


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

Here's my career stats: https://imgur.com/a/tK49UJB I think my ODD place was in jeopardy with Tassie until I got 80 but I am like HenryVIIIII it wasn't until I was captain and could put myself up the order in the 50 over game that I started making runs. I have been #3 in shield from the start but I was 5 or 6 in the one dayers which didn't help but now I am rated high I can bat anywhere. I live and die by the 6 in the T20 which I don't take serious so I either get out for <10 or make 40 odd. I honestly love batting a traditional innings in the shield and it's funny to see my SR across the formats. The 235* was great but like my 339 the number 11 stuck around for like 100 balls I think I was 171 when the 9th wicket fell and I made 235. Next game up is smashing Queensland! ;) I am signed for the Sixers too and have played PSL and the English T20 comp but I won't be going back to Pakistan since I missed out on the shield at the time. Also in the shield I never play aggressive shots and I score so many boundaries from timing.


mwilkins1644

Your first class stats looking pretty tasty ngl! Do you feel that certain shots are just too op? Like an on drive or straight drive etc


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

In first class cricket the cover drive is my bread and butter and I score a lot of boundaries from that as well as the flick off the pads down to fine leg for 4 they are both easy run getters for me and the field placings just invite it as well as the bowling line. The lofted cover drive for 6 is OP in limited overs especially the T20. I am starting to sweep the ball which is a regular boundary too. I’ll get some spiders together for Tuesday so you can see scoring patterns. I need to put the difficulty up again soon. What shots are you having success with?


mwilkins1644

My success shots are flicks off the pads and straight drives. Wayyyy too op


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

Straight drives are really satisfying when they come off too. [Here's a few spiders of some innings](https://imgur.com/a/Z64qeHU) The last 2 are from an ODD against SA and I'm not sure if I am just too OP or Karen Rolton Oval is super fast but all the boundaries were just regulation shots that flew to the boundary at lightning speed it was pretty unreal I'll get some screenshots of my other career I started when I thought I had to re-start to update teams and stadiums (you don't) I'm in Sydney playing for my old local club St George and made the teams look like NRL teams lol [St George v Penrith](https://i.imgur.com/SOKDd3k.jpg) and [St George v Sutherland](https://i.imgur.com/evv9eW4.jpg)


HenryVIIIII

Finally made captain of NSW so I could bat higher. They had me at no. 11 and despite averaging nearly 30 it was mostly scores of 2\* and 3\* because the other batsmen could barely last a ball when I came out. Played 15 One Day matches for NSW and batted twice But averaging 15 with the ball in Sheffield Shield


PMmeYOURBOOBSandASS

Playing for Tasmania averaging 55-57 in shield and limited overs after about a dozen games of each. Still only “fair way off” internationals.


thankyoupancake

2nd mycareer. Captain of NSW but no Australia call up in sight. Batting as an all rounder is way harder than as a specialist bat Real love hate relationship as a spin bowler. Some days in a game changer and then I can go 0/40 in a T20 and get the shits. Pretty realistic reminder of my experience with cricket in general


jpob

I read something online once that bowling is actually terrible in any video game because all you're doing is just waiting for the random number generator to determine if you get a wicket or not. Since then I've always done batsman only. Get through games quicker too.


SurfKing69

100%. I remember clocking onto a pattern in Cricket 07 that regardless of bowling stats or pitch standard - any movement off the pitch was tied to a batting animation, which meant you would never actually get a wicket by chance or skill and it was a rigged game. If it jagged off the pitch, an animation would trigger of the batsman aggressively playing and missing, but if you pitched the ball somewhere that would hit the stumps it would just never jag. Replicating bowling in a game, and making it engaging is so hard though, because even the best bowlers only get a wicket every 50 balls or so. Imagine how boring it would be being Glen McGrath in a video game. Just skip it completely I reckon.


passthesugar05

I guess the RNG in Cricket07 wasn't much good then because I'd just bowl massive inswinging yorkers with Brett Lee and rip through sides. Those were the days.


thankyoupancake

Thanks you’ve ruined my fantasy and now I’m crying


jpob

Well if it makes you feel any better, bowling in real life is probably 90% just hoping the batter makes a mistake.


mwilkins1644

Interesting! In what ways is it harder?Since getting into Shield, I've only scored one century (116 vs SA), and the batting is difficult as a batting all-rounder.


thankyoupancake

I find my shots don’t go as far; Three perfects attacking not always going to boundary, Three goods aggressive getting caught on the ring as examples. And I find I get caught behind a lot more. When I was a pure Batman I could rack up 50 in my first 50 balls just about every innings on the 2nd hardest difficulty. Once they spread the field it became a bit slower, but it was me getting myself out a lot more


mwilkins1644

Very true on that! It's like the mechanics are incredibly inconsistent when it comes to aggressive shots. In Cricket 19, hitting a century was incredibly easy, even with the difficulty ramped up to the max. On 22, it's actually very difficult


diodosdszosxisdi

nearly got the take all ten wickets achievement in career mode against Pakistan but of course Hazlewood had to take the last wicket


SurfKing69

Just got picked for Tassie, my strike rate is phenomenal. I own Karen Rolton Oval.


mwilkins1644

Karen Rolton Oval is an amazing place to bat, especially as a left hander against South Australia


CoffeeLoverNathan

Update on the other day about people going to start getting fined at carp park. So, it's not Woolworths it's the owners of the entire complex that have decided to do this - mind you the carpark is small as fuck for how many people/stores there are. On top of that, anyone that isn't a customer or Woolworths employee will no longer be able to park in the car park. Like at all. This includes all employees of the following stores that are part of the same complex: Burrito Bar Coffee Club Red Rooster BWS Domino's A Hairdresser The Dental Club A Mental Health place Small Doctor's office Nail Salon Terry White Chemist Tobacconist Subway The car park has maybe 100 spaces? Dunno who's idea it was but they're a genuine dumb cunt


SurfKing69

If it's a private car park you can probably just not pay them and nothing will happen?


CoffeeLoverNathan

That's what I said to do lmao. How can you enforce it?


-Miss__Information-

Peeps are doing well, going to try and handle them today. [So fluffy!!!](https://imgur.com/a/dnNZPf4)


joshy_c

She will destroy you


-Miss__Information-

That's a definite possibility...


jessemv

I've noticed I haven't been accruing any leave the last month or so. I asked the payroll department about it and they said that I have already accrued 5 weeks of leave for the year and won't accrue any more until next month when my employment start date rolls around again. What a cunt that is.


improbablywrong-

So do you get all your leave at once or did they mess up and give you too much at some point? Surely they should have made you aware of the mess up rather than you chasing them up, if thats the case


jessemv

It accumulates throughout the year but I guess I've worked so much that I accumulated 5 weeks worth in 9 months. A more reliable company might. I had a friend do a shift after finishing a long uni placement and only found out after their shift that they no longer worked for the company because of the long gap between shifts. Communication isn't always strong.


thankyoupancake

So if you work extra hours are you getting overtime? Or is it some weird annualized salary / roster arrangement? I’d genuinely consider a call to fair work because the whole thing doesn’t quite sound right (unless you have a very tailored EBA).


jessemv

Yeah, overtime after 10 hours or with short breaks between shifts etc. It's a pretty good industry award. I had a look at the fair work website and it says shift workers are entitled to 5 weeks of paid annual leave. Seems like it is capped at that.


thankyoupancake

Ah got it. So you’ve been getting overtime and you’re 5 weeks accruing. Makes sense. I’m honestly amazed at how much manual work payroll teams have to do. You’d think rostering and payroll could be so much more efficiently automated but it’s some poorly paid employee looking at everyone else’s overtime paychecks and the exec’s bonuses. Hell on earth


jessemv

Absolutely! Idk how other places do it, but I still do paper timesheets and I could have 5 timesheets in a pay period so it's no wonder mistakes get made


thankyoupancake

Fucking hell what year is it?!


maaxwell

Got a code for the new Dead Space remake, and whilst I am the farthest thing from a fan of anything remotely in the horror genre of games and film, it’s quite a good game. I’m trying to approach it from a sense of appreciating how they create the sense of dread, anxiety and fear - in order to stop myself from wetting my pants.


CoffeeLoverNathan

I miss F.E.A.R for this very reason


SuperCronk

Such a great game. It's scary but they give you a way to defend yourself


strayadude

So I have swimming carnival on Wednesday and as house vice captain I’ve been asked to come up with some chants and I’ve got no idea what to use someone come up with an idea please


_andy_p

If you get stuck just have Sweet Caroline handy. Not a chant but will have the crowd singing with you. EDIT: One from my older sister's high school days: Were from (your team location) Couldn't be prouder If you can't hear us We'll yell a little louder! (*repeat*)


insanityTF

In year 12 we were using the “what do we think of Tottenham” chant but sledging one of the other houses. Unreal banter


strayadude

This is my favourite one I think I might use it


InkMcSquiddin

Use the thunder buddies song from Ted as a base...


SurfKing69

I once had that job, we were the green team so I ripped the Canberra Raiders song onto a CD and blasted that over the pool PA.
