Little bit of everything I think. I personally have been getting tired of Microsoft pulling their shit, but without Valve making compatibility so simple for their launcher it would make it a much harder sell.

I would be happy with a 240hz 4k that doesn’t have a subtle hum when it’s going that hard. It’s hard to test for because shops are too loud to hear it, but in a quiet office it gets very noticeable.

Eh, I see plenty of shit around the world that makes me happy I’m here. It’s fucking wild to think that after your cats have found yet another majestic galloping hand sized spider that you have to save from them.

Haha no not quite that paranoid. Nah it’s mostly a rule for like moving stuff around in the garden and if you’re in the bush or whatever. Like the shit you have to worry about will either let you know, or set up a home far away from you. Generally. So it’s kind of another way of saying don’t put you hand into a redback nest.

Though saying that most people have had harrowing huntsman spider encounters, often in bed. They’re the most common surprise as they actively move around to hunt prey, instead of building webs. They can’t really hurt humans, aside from hiding behind your sun visor in the car and scaring you half to death, like my girlfriend had last year. They are a non zero statistic in cause of car accidents unfortunately.

ISPs can monitor and such, I’ve not gone into the intricacies of the laws myself. One can get around it all pretty easily.

Tbh game prices are actually not too bad here. I don’t pirate games, steam etc are just too reasonable, and I don’t buy them that often.

Wait do you guys not? Next you’ll tell me you don’t eat your national animal

Look you’re right and the housing market is a catastrophe also

I’m gonna be real with you all, I’m in Australia and it’s a little embarrassing how hard you think we have it over here compared to the shit I’ve heard from other places. Like don’t fuck with the animals and don’t put your hands in areas you can’t see and you’re golden. I’ve had to deal with random violence like three times in my 34 years here. It’s pretty alright here.

Fuck me, it’s been so long since I’ve heard the Australians are all prisoners one that it took me a few seconds to get the joke. We need to do more crimes clearly

I tried to look into this for a bit, but unfortunately nothing yet matches the Chromecast experience for me just yet.

I found my old Chromecast just wasn’t running current versions of the streaming apps, let alone 4k. I ended up getting a new one, it does run a lot better and more independently than the one I had from 2013. I have hooked up vlc on it to a file share on my PC and the convenience is extremely nice.
