  • Sorry that's monthly. Like per month it's not bad but still with mum being full time and both my sister and I being part time, it's just way too much.

  • Didn't see an email about rent increase, gone up $304. Yeah like that's feasible for a full time worker, and two part time workers.

    My writing commissions are always open (I wish writing got as much love as artists, especially in fan spaces. But that's a conversation for another time).

  • The driving lesson went great, I even drove on one of the main roads. The instructor is very nice and really calm and understanding. Will definitely do another lesson with her.

  • Hope everyone had a great weekend.

    I've got a driving lesson today and I am so bloody terrified.

  • 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.

  • Definitely! I probably spoke about it last year then. I know the place I write for was there at the diversity lounge too so that was great (but also terrible). But yes, I'm up for talks closer to PAX!

  • Fuck yeah! That sounds awesome!

  • I think cup day only affects us city-slickers. But yeah the June - September no public holiday drought was doing my head in.

  • Ahh, well, if you need some help around PAX, let me know! You working around the diversity lounge then I take it?

  • I'm excited for the Grand Final, only because of the day off. I don't care about footy (I mean I have a team I barrick for but that's it).

  • I know I've screamed about it before and I'm just screaming to the choir. But God, the groceries getting more and more expensive is actually doing my head in. For a company that bemoans about stealing sure makes a lot of profit...

  • Good thing I don't do PS+ anymore. God damn.

  • Love seeing us LGBTQIA+ folks at PAX, a lot of us are enforcers too!

  • Yeah I think it's a trend that transwomen are often in IT/tech fields. (Trend is not the right word I just can't remember what the word is)
