That’s hillarious. I get site inspection photos. It always makes me laugh when Google photos asks me if I remember this random sandy lot from 5 years ago. No I don’t google photos no I don’t. The future is so dumb and I love it.

Probably wondering why you only have half of the Hyperion cantos.

9 out of 10 Australians on Facebook. The fuck is wrong with cunts hey.

Did not expect to see ddp doj on the list, kind of respect that. It’s a good pick if you had to choose one shmup.

I saw the monk in Ko Samui with the glasses from this article. Was kind of odd ultimately it’s a dead dude in a box for tourists. I read up on him seems like a interesting guy I wonder how he would feel about it now.

I have 2 guncon 2’s a crt and a hacked ps2. I really don’t use it enough.

If I was in the middle of that and over 30 I wouldn’t be there.

I’m gonna be honest with you chief if I had 6 kids, I’d let the ocean take me.

There is a book by Haruki Murakami called Underground that is a bunch of interviews with people who survived the sarin gas attack in Tokyo. It’s OK but the thing I found interesting was a lot of people didn’t realise what had happened and continued on to work rather than hospitals. I can understand three was a lot of confusion and chaos when it happened. It reads though as if Japanese people where like not going to let a sarin gas attack stop them from getting to work. It kind of made me angry and frustrated I don’t think I finished that book. Destroying the world to save it a good read if your interested in the topic though.

Aum bought a farm in Western Australia in 90s they flew in with a lab setup and where testing sarin on sheep. That farm also had a fair bit of uranium on it too. There was a seismic event that hasn’t really been able to be explained that happened in the same area at the around the same time. It’s sort of a local conspiracy that it was Aum testing nuclear weapons. One of their plans to bring about a global apocalypse was to obtain nukes to trigger seismic events that would destroy the world.

I’m in Perth where this cable will go. We do occasionally play with Chinese players it’s happened in a few games not a lot though. It’s mostly SEA players. WA is in this weird spot for gaming because all of the game companies put there servers in melb or sydney and we get shafted on ping. Because of the time difference if you play late at night and there aren’t enough players you often get pushed to SEA servers. We get a lot of Indos and Singaporeans on our servers too. Will be interesting to see if we end up playing with more Saffas.

I just did something similar. I got given my childhood DMG after my mum found it when moving. It would turn on but the screen was broken. I used this screen and this tutorial. You will have to solder the speaker to the new board.

The screen works great now and is backlit. I also bought a $20 copy of tetris to test it. I then bought a flash cart for it. I have the EZ FLASH jnr. Works fine and it saves games. Has a real time clock which you want for pokemon I think.

The only thing I would say is doing the screen modification was annoying. I went back to funny playing and bought the case and parts they have that fit the screen. It’s in the mail atm.

I also bought a pack of 4 eneloop batteries and a charger. I considered the clean juice xl battery mod but I don’t think I’ll use it that much.

I might do a sound mod to it at some point the headphone jack has a lot of hiss. Might just need to replace some caps.

Yeah not sure if it was the last it was late in the dc lifespan and a Japan only release. I don’t think a lot of copies where released either. Its very expensive if you can find it now. It’s a great game visually and is hard but reasonable. The border system is is confusing though. The story isn’t to bad either for a shmup.

All those Shmups and you managed to miss the best one Border Down.

That’s fair enough. I had no nostalgia for it and came across one cheap console with a broken power supply. Swapped that out then upgraded it. The price of games for the system are pretty crazy especially for Shmups.

I do quite enjoy it though I had a play station growing up and if I had the choice again it would be the PS. Though the Sega saturn is a neat machine and it does have some interesting games.

Yeah there’s a lot Japanese owned Aussie beers also molson Coors have a stake hear, though I feel like they sell things like millers chill and Coors rather than bought out existing. I may be wrong on that. Coca cola amatil bought feral a few years ago another weird one i don’t think they own any other breweries. Also AB Inbev own a few brands here.

Yep definitely agree with that statement.

They’re tiny not really a lot to look at. You could hold one in your palm.

Oof that’s rough. Im not sure how excise tax works where you are but here it’s every six months it increases. Beer seems to get worse /smaller /more expensive over time.

There was a beer I drank a lot 5 years ago from a local brewery that was a 6.5% abv ipa. They dropped the abv then dropped down to 4 packs then the price went up $5 aud. I get they are a business but it just wasn’t at a price point I could justify paying for it. There was a time where I gave up homebrewing because I could get local good beer for a good price. I’m contemplating taking it back up but it’s a lot of work.

Definitely an interesting man and brewery for sure don’t get me wrong. The problem I have with guiness is the same I have with many famous breweries. Is that as soon as they are bought out by soulless mega corps be it AB inbev, Heineken, asahi or lion Nathan all that culture and history may as well be thrown out the window. The past of these great breweries is nothing more than a tool for the marketing team to increase sales numbers. Which is definitely a shame. Support local small business that are actively involved in your community over international mega corporations. Be a conscious consumer and vote with your dollar in everything not just beer.
