I know Critical Role didn’t have that rule in their contract, especially since they bring so much to the platform.

Highly recommend Revo. It does such a fantastic job and it’s great because it helps you clean out the left over files, so if you’re not as tech-savvy (or you are, you just don’t know how to or where to remove files/folders) it does a great job!

Yo my condolences about that! That’s never okay! I hope you drink water and take breaks ✌🏻 your mental health is important too!

Ugh, yeah, not excited. Especially since I have to be in the city for something a week beforehand. So those cookers are going to be out and loud.

My ex-stepdad was (supposedly from his mouth but I went no contact with him once he left) a huge conspiracy theory person. Vaccines cause Autism, Alex Jones was a huge presence in my house, anti-anything left of centre. Funny thing is, he’s Canadian. But when he spoke to my mum about something she had contacted him about, he mentioned to her how the last lockdown at the time was what did it for him. And now he’s “supposedly” not a massive conspiracy theorist nut job. So what I’m trying to say is, yes, I agree, we need mental health professionals working with these people. Because if I can go off my ex-stepdad and his problems, then I’m sure there’s a large majority of these dickheads who are probably of similar or worse mental health.

The Australians: About First Nations.

Tell me about it… They shit me up the walls.

Now they have their “say no to the voice” rally with actual literal Nazi’s. I mean conspiracy theory territory can get alt-right very quickly but to have actual Nazi’s at your rally… You fucked up.

Yeah I’ve been a uTorrent person for years, but I think two years ago or so I just went “fuck it!” Because the constant ads (and also horny af ads) were doing my head in. So highly recommend Qbittorrent.

It’s great that they have that. But man it got abused so easily, and it felt kind of silly that you could actually block it. I remember getting it after saying the most middest of takes.

I mean like you take a photo with your rear camera and once that’s taken it’ll load up your front camera to take a photo but you can move it so it doesn’t take a photo of you. Kind of like a countdown timer.

Yeah I have Game Pass so I was pretty keen to play the early access but when I found out it was $170, just to play 5 days earlier? No fucking thank you.

I’m spending that money on an SSD because my partner bought the deluxe version and running it on my computer is arse. My computer isn’t even that bad!

Yep big fan is Mass Effect here and I will FOREVER be mad at the Day one DLC for Javik. I finally got him in Legendary Edition and oh my God, he is so essential to so many stories, especially Thesia mission. Like holy shit!

I think the start of Mass Effects 3 they change it based off of if you played the DLC of Arrival. Because from my understanding, Shepard is in jail because they work with Cerberus, whereas if you have the DLC it’s because of the Batarians.

God yeah Tumblr is so frustrating now. Like I get that a site needs to make money and I’m not even opposed to the gimmicks they have. But changing the look of it (which has been changed before but at least it made sense a lot of the time) to what is essentially a clone of Twitter. It’s frustrating to see a site I love so much, decide to kill itself and for what?

That and also the fact that they allow racism, transphobia, homophobia to fester. You’d think that a site that is pretty popular with the LGBTQIA+ crowd, they sure like to keep people around who would harm us.

Yeah look I don’t get slurs thrown at me or people abusing the “send help” button. So that’s a bonus.

You don’t actually have to take a photo of yourself. If you’re quick enough you can just move the front facing camera to take a photo of the ceiling.

That’s what I do on days I don’t want to take a photo of myself.

Fair enough. You’re a far stronger person then I am haha.

Yeah I suppose so. I have a BUNCH of extension on my desktop Firefox, but I don’t need much on my mobile version tbh. Especially since I have a few extensions that work for websites that already have apps (like I have sponsorblock and pockettube for YouTube but there’s no point in installing them on my mobile FF since I have the YouTube app so…).

I still deadname it and call it Twitter. I refuse to call it X.

Love recommending podcasts!

• Like others have said, Behind the Bastards is great to find out about some of the worst people in history.
• In relation to that Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff is the opposite of Behind the Bastards. It’s about people who did cool stuff who became cool.
• Also in lieu of that, Bad Gays, it’s about bad gays in history. I think they’ve covered similar folks on BtB, but this is obviously from a queer perspective.
• Fad Camp and Maintenance Phase are great podcasts about dieting and wellness. Fad Camp is more about how damaging some of these diets can be, whereas Maintenance Phase is similar to You’re Wrong About (which I also recommend)
• The Weekly Planet are these two Australian guys who talk about movies, tv, comics and video games. They also have a YouTube channel called Me Sunday Movies where they’ll upload some of their podcasts. Like they have a running segment called “Caravan of Garbage” which is just sort of talking about a movie, tv show or game. Currently they’ve started going through the RoboCop movies.
• Also shameless plug, but Checkpoint is on the radio but they take their radio show and put it on a podcast. It’s a podcast about giving a 1up to diversity in video games. Most of us are from the LGBTQIA+ community and that’s where most of our perspectives come from, but it’s also just folks from any marginalised group. Lovely bunch of folks (if I do say so myself).

Uh yeah, I have some more, but like that’s politics or it’s writing related or spicyness in or out of the bedroom. But these are the ones I always recc.

Same. I mean I haven’t been to highschool in a little over ten years, so I can’t say what kids are using these days. But here in Australia, none of us really cares about what phone you have. Though I think most of us were Samsung users.
