This actually sounds fantastic. If the worst thing about the game is the risk that it might be concentrating too much on competitive play at the expense of casual and single-player, that could be a problem for the game's longevity, but it is still so much worse than some other problems with the game could have been.

    What's going on guys, just taking a look at this new RTS game no the horizon. Can't wait to play it for you all, let me know what you think.

    Apparently it looks like it'll be fairly similar to Battle for Middle-Earth 2, which would be fantastic IMO. It's really disappointing that that game isn't around anymore due to rights issues.

    Walk on the left side of the footpath/shared path. The vast majority of people are good at this, but you get enough people who just can't seem to get it. It's bloody annoying.

    I do think it's less common on the bigger buses. You can't do it on the Metro for example, I'm pretty sure (only been on it a couple of times, but IIRC the driver is in a fully separated cabin).

    oh haha very convenient timing. I took the time to do that exact same search myself before refreshing and seeing your message posted 8 minutes ago. But yeah, their About page makes it clear that they're a legit journalist, so I've already updated the title to reflect that.

    It's not Substack by the way, but Ghost.io, based on a DNS lookup.

    Oh yeah I'm a big fan. Only discovered him a few months ago but he does great stuff.

    But in this case he's not the one being referred to as an "influencer". That was the creator of the video Punter Konrad is commenting on in this video.

    Which as it happens, I just discovered was created by an actual legit independent journalist, Jesse Noakes.

    Punter Konrad isn't the influencer referenced in the title. Konrad is commenting on a clip made by someone else. And I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that person was a YouTuber. Instagram or TikTok is their stomping ground, I think.

    I definitely would use YouTuber if it were someone primarily from YouTube.

    It was simply the most accurate term I could think of. They're not a proper journalist, even if in this context they seem to be doing some pretty damn good (if not especially difficult) journalism.

    Happy to edit it if you've got a better word I could use though.

    Original title: She Really Thought Nobody Would Notice

    I changed the title to describe what the video is about in a clearer and less clickbaity way.

    Description:

    Georgia Tree, WA Labor's candidate for the Secret Harbour by-election, dodges questions about her past role as a Woodside lobbyist before admitting on camera she's pro-gas. Woodside donated over $13,000 to Labor shortly after her candidacy was announced.

    edit: updated title from "influencer" to "journalist" after it turns out the person asking the questions is legitimate independent journalist Jesse Noakes at The Last Place on Earth.

    Here's the bundle with Zade's link: https://www.digiphile.co/collections/rts-renaissance?linkId=lp_354132&sourceId=zade-95&tenantId=digiphile

    And without if you would prefer zero tracking. Though Zade gets a small cut if you use his link. (Presumably out of the platform cut?)

    7 games, each unlocked at progressively increasing prices in order:

    • $8 From Glory To Goo
    • $10 9-Bit Armies: A Bit Too Far
    • $12 Stronghold Crusader: Definitive Edition
    • $14 Rogue Command
    • $17 The Scouring
    • $22 (2 games) Godsworn and Dungeons 4

    The money is split at the same ratio for all of these. 75% to the partners (I assume this means the devs/publishers of the games), 20% to the platform (Digiphile), 5% to the Arbor Day Foundation charity.

    Plus there is a $4 add-on that can be added separately from the above. Soundtracks for Godsworn, Rogue Command, and 9-Bit Armies, and a wallpaper representing the collective bundle. This add-on goes entirely to charity.

    And a $3 optional inclusion of the normally $5 "The Canary and the Trader" expansion for Crusader, or $10 for the normally $15 "The Good, the Bad, and the Evil" expansion for Dungeons 4.

    Everything except the wallpaper is a Steam key.

     

    This video essay is a deep dive into the corridor from Goodna to Loganlea, following along the logan motorway as i explore the existing transport links, road and public transport, to see what the quality is like now, show why something more is needed and demonstrate why this should be a new train line.

    in this we also explore what a new train line for this corridor could look like, and the other advantages like density and urban form changes that could result.

     

    I made a post from my AZ account in !vamp_tm@ttrpg.network and left a comment under it.

    The post seems to have federated fine.

    https://ttrpg.network/post/40584555

    But the comment did not.

    Along with my previous two posts about federation issues with quokk.au, the common factor seems to be AZ, so I suspect that is where the issues stem from.
