Just ate a toastie that when I saw it I thought "hmm, it doesn't look great, but slim pickings, so whatever"... how wrong I was proven. Mushrooms, cheese, pesto, perfectly salty and heavenly and happiness!

My poor LittleOne, he’s scared enough to abandon dinner 😿

HR dumped this on a random desk in my office to show their gratitude for all we do. Starts off with "Hi team". There's two people who work in this area, me and someone else and we aren't in the same team, not even in the same site technically.

Dunno why they couldn't be honest and just say they found this at the back of their cupboard when doing a clean out. It would have been less insulting.

gratitude

Someone in HR has children that no longer likes these snacks so has empty their pantry on your desk.

Probably done with the "best of intentions", trouble is best of intentions really don't mean shit when acting on behalf of the company.

Something that's not getting as much publicity as it probably should. This got put up in the Coburg library, a friend of mine alerted me to it last night.

Gotta laugh: about to leave to go camping near NSW/VIC border. If we can get through today without being washed away I'll be happy.

Skies darkening, red blob on radar heading directly to me, it’s about to go down.

OK guys I need some help.

What are 3 reasons why getting a ps5 is a bad idea.

Edit: waiting till Sunday. I want to have a good night out tomorrow and I know if I grab one today, tmrw night ain't happening.

  1. you hate fun
  2. you dislike treating yourself to things you deserve
  3. the idea of playing awesome games like rift apart, FFXVI, Spiderman2 or Astrobot makes your skin crawl.

Have you finished BG3 yet?

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I had to sell my ps5 when I was unemployed so never got to finish bg3. Which fucking sucked tbh.

I'm super keen to grab one, was just trying to think of negatives to balance the equation.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ok so to be realistic, do you have enough savings that if the company went under tomorrow you'd be ok till you secured a new job?

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I have about 6 months of savings. It was the first thing I did when I get my first couple of paycheques.

I have 6 months rent saved plus all expenses.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

to be blunt, then I cant see a good reason NOT to get a PS5 if its what you really want. keep in mind a steamdeck is now around 700 bucks though, and EVENTUALLY most Sony games come to steam.

Don't ask me. Just this week I've bought one for the child's birthday in December. I'm having the hardest time not spilling the beans because he is gonna lose his mind when he gets it.

Dude if my parents bought me a ps5 for my birthday I would go absolutely nuts!!!!

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Umm if you do get it I would almost say get it tomorrow.

If you unpack it and stuff you’ll need to update it and all that jazz and if you’ve got digital games on your account already, we’ll BG3 is digital only you’re going to need time to download it as well.
