I’m not so sure. I drove 3½ hours north to visit my sister in northern Tasmania yesterday, much of it on highways with 110 kph speed limit. I was doing between 90 and 100 mostly, especially when there were overtaking or double lanes. Almost never got overtaken even when there were 4 or 5 cars behind me. It was quite relaxing.

Thank you!
Did it help the sandfly situation? I’m curious.
Gorgeously weird birds. Love ‘em.
Disgusting overreach.
Excellent. We should play games on our own terms. I’ve hit skill barriers in many games, set them aside ‘for a short while’ and never returned to them. I bet I’ve missed so many great moments due to this so now my policy is to lower the difficulty if I’m getting too frustrated.
Also, difficulty levels can be quite arbitrary especially in games that have a particular play mechanic and then introduce something complete different for one level. (My pet hate is token platforming inserted into shooters.)
I remember one game (Indigo Prophecy I think) had a tiny segment that required subtle joystick control to get the player across a narrow beam. Nothing else in the game was like this. I couldn’t do it, countless fails. I asked my young nephew to have a go and he got it on the first try.
Good sir/madam, I read the whole thing thinking the very same and didn’t come to my senses until reading your comment. Thank you.
People forget that America was a penal colony before Australia.
This isn’t the same article but it’s relevant:
The first game is set in North America but mostly looks like Iceland. I don’t have high hopes that Kojima’s Australia will be recognisably Australia.
Sounds wonderful. I recently had my writing—which is liberally sprinkled with em-dashes—edited to add spaces to conform to the house style and this made me sad.
I also feel sad that I failed to (ironically) mention the under-appreciated semicolon; punctuation that is not as adamant as a full stop but more assertive than a comma. I should use it more often.

I read The Walking Dead comics up to around issue 108 (I think), enjoyed them. I enjoyed the first season of the TV series too but after that they should have renamed it The Talking Dead. I suppose the economics of TV zombies are generally going to make it cheaper to film people arguing than action.
