  • Late to this party but I fear your list will never be complete without Wallace and Grommit and Spongebob Square Pants. You could add Shaun the Sheep too.

  • Support creators through word of mouth (telling other people to pirate it)? There's no one approach, but basically pay if I'm willing to, pirate if I'm not, and sometimes pirate even if I've paid because the experience is better.

  • Ditch SUV's

  • If they do that's probably softer tyres and aerodynamics. Maybe suspension and weight distribution. Many factors anyway.

  • Bigger cars do WAY more damage. To pedestrians, the impact is higher on the body and far more lethal; and to other vehicles, well that's obvious.

    I think you're right though, with simplified physics the additional traction does cancel out the additional momentum.

    But wider tyres and expensive brakes actually don't make a difference. More contact with the ground just reduces the traction per area, total traction hasn't changed (assuming a smooth road). As for brakes, as long as they're strong enough to lock the wheel, that's enough. ABS helps a little, but expensive designs are only useful if you're in a race.

  • Imagine if speed limits were variable based on a car's weight and lethality. Only small cars are allowed to go fast.

  • Calls for cheaper homes are 'nonsense' while banking system underpinned by housing

  • This is only a problem for those who own numerous investment properties. Those people will survive. It could be bad for anyone struggling to pay a mortgage, because they no longer have the option to sell. We'll need policy to protect those people, 0 interest maybe. Also sucks for anyone planning to sell and retire on the cash. Everyone else wins big time.

  • Why is gaming becoming so expensive? The answer is found in AI

    Jump

  • Working on my backlog is literally all of my gaming. Currently catching up on the old Assassin's Creed games. Well worth it.

  • "Trippy" Reality

    Jump

  • Exactly. This post actually reinforces why I don't want to alter my reality. That little window of interpretation is absolutely remarkable, it's all we have to anchor us to the outside world and I will never give that up. Not that I'm dead against occasional hallucinogenics, but our perception is an amazing thing and I feel bad for people who don't appreciate it.

  • PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites

  • Makes a lot of sense they'd do this in preparation for the PS6. Hopefully it's just temporary.

    Honestly I don't know if it was a financially sensible move releasing exclusives to PC, but it was great for gamers while it lasted. Maybe they could go linux only in future to really take a stab at Microsoft. Ha.

    Why does Australia have an overpriced passport?

    Jump

  • This article gives some insight, https://7news.com.au/news/australian-passport-fees-to-jump-again-in-2025-heres-what-youll-pay--c-17225775

    It sounds to me that it's the most expensive in the world because it can be and it raises money. The government and DFAT say it's expensive because of the technological sophistication, which is why it's highly trusted worldwide, and the cost pays for it's expensive production.

    But New Zealands is just as powerful and only costs $205 AUD, and Singapore's is considered the worlds most powerful and only costs $83 AUD. Maybe the sophistication isn't so important, maybe the costs are just way lower there, or maybe it's subsidised.

    I bet if it becomes a political issue they'll drop the price in a heartbeat to make themselves look good. Australian (Libral party) governments have a history of cutting costs and raising prices in every way they can get away with to make their budget look good.

    Another interesting point is the US passport was $252 AUD back in 2024, but comparethemarket.com.au lists it as $414 in 2026. Massive hike. Probably because Trump.

  • Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.

  • No one's said Infamous yet. Shocking. Well Infamous. You get to choose if you're going to be good or bad and it's super satisfying either way. Dishonered has that same sort of choice, also amazing whichever way you go.
