Bit of a shame for car enthusiasts. There are not many tracks around SE QLD.

However, the changing landscape in the motor industry, not least of which is the rise of electric vehicles, meant the economics of such a track no longer stacked up.

This doesn’t make much sense. EVs can also be driven on a track. I’m guessing the real reason for stopping development is general economic concerns.

Dying and losing your runes in Elden Ring isn’t as big a deal as you think. The runes you collect from general enemies throughout the game areas are mostly inconsequential across the whole length of the game. The bulk of your rune income is earned by killing bosses, and there’s almost always a grace to spend those runes after you down a boss.

I used to get the same anxiety as you when playing Souls-likes. Once I accepted that losing my runes a few times is inevitable when navigating an area for the first time, that anxiety lifted and I could focus on just exploring and having fun.

This is so fucked. What’s with all the knife crime lately? Is it increasing or is it just being reported more?

Agree with this. The old sub seemed to have a massive influx of users from /r/Australia which decreased the overall quality of discussion i feel.

I have it and I think it’s kinda boring. I’m playing a necro, and while the class has some cool abilities, the game itself is kinda grindy. And I’m only level 30-something. The core gameplay loop of kill things, get new gear, repeat, just isn’t exciting enough to keep my attention.

Maybe it’s just not my genre?

If I make a post on here saying “the sky is purple”, am I spreading disinformation?

Contrived example obviously but this seems like very far reaching legislation.

The news for me is that they still had product development staff in Australia

Having worked in government for a brief stint, I can’t bring myself to watch this show. It’s just too real. Gives me flashbacks.
