  • I decided to install Homefront: The Revolution with the intent to finish it since I’m going to be off tomorrow. It’s just a few tweaks short of being a game I’d recommend to people that like a particular type of game when on sale. Unfortunately it’s pretty forgotten about so there’s no mod scene, and any talk or effort in mods would be around how the developers snuck an entire PC version of Timesplitters 2 in there, which is a much better game.





  • Jesus, what a day. In the way home it turns out the rear tyre has been losing pressure independent of the collision, so the bike might be in better condition than first thought.

    Rode to the bike store to drop it off, then went to the nearest pub to meet the family. It was fucking closed for renovation. Ended up going out to where I do trivia for dinner because we couldn’t get confirmation anywhere else was open or not packed. It was just a big day.



  • That’s what makes it so hard dealing with places like Centrelink. They’re deliberately understaffed and treated like shit to be the interface of a hostile system. There’s no point being angry at the person you’re talking to because they’re not the decision makers who set the system up to be so unpleasant to deal with. And those who did set it up that way are insulated off away from the public and just close down any channel of communication you find to tell them what pieces of shit they are.


  • Fucking hell, had a car run into the bike this morning. Unc was stopped right in front of the pedestrian crossing, car in front of him takes off and he stays there, so it looks like he’s waiting for me to cross. I had a feeling that wasn’t the case but how can you tell?

    I go to cross and that’s when he takes off, running into the wheel of the bike. I was fine and the bike’s alright, front wheel might be a bit out of whack so I’m dropping it off at the bike store for a service on the way home.

    I go up to his window and yell and swear at him a bit, he was probably on his phone and not looking. I had just pumped the tyres up and the bike was rolling so well, didn’t even get a whole ride out of it.
