Yeah as an Aussie, faith of the heart comes across as some cringe American power ballad bullshit.
It’s such an insane genre shift from Trek of that era as well. Like how do you have 3 of the most incredible, majestic, orchestral themes from TNG, DS9, and VOY, and decide that what Trek really needs is a Rod Stewart song? It’s bizarre.
PC load letter?
If I have a meeting booked in with the infosec team, and someone shows up with blue hair, cat ear headphones, and they/them pronouns, I know I’m dealing with an expert.
This has happened to me multiple times at multiple companies, and they’ve always been very good at their jobs.
Man this has been on my game list for so long! I really need to play it! But I have to finish BG3 first!
It’s a different word. To have a whinge. Whinging. The G is pronounced like a J.
Google says it’s more common in British English. I’m Aussie and we use it too. Mostly to hang shit on the English lol. I.e. whinging poms.
How about they’re just fun and people enjoy them? That’s a use.
I think they’re just trying to say how iconic they are as a brand because they’ve featured in so many bits of pop culture. It’s just a “we’re so cool, buy our stuff” campaign.
I’m using mlem on ios and it loads fine. Very cute 🥰
Ahhh but which Still Alive?
You probably meant the one from Portal, but I much prefer the one from Mirror’s Edge! Beautiful song!
RA2 music better than RA1 music for me.
RA2 is the best RTS of all time, no question.
Nah no way. I’m as big a BG fanboy as anyone but it’s a decidedly niche genre. The vast majority of people are not interested in CRPGs.
Magneto. If someone is trying to genocide you, you don’t just ask nicely and hope that they change their mind. You fight them.
Same, if I have a family bag of chips in front of me, I’ll eat the whole bag. If I serve an enormous bowl of pasta, I’ll eat the whole bowl.
The only way I can not overeat is to not have it in arms reach. So yeah, pour a sensible serve of chips into a bowl and then eat that. Leave some pasta in the pot, or put it straight in the fridge for lunch tomorrow.
By the time I sit down to eat, the battle is already over, whether I’ve won or lost.
I’ve never worked in a kitchen, and I’m sure it’s different than the office jobs I’ve done. But still, it’s important to remember that leadership is not about “telling people what to do” as you described it.
One of the easiest mistakes to make as a leader is assuming that your job is to always be in charge, to order people round, to maintain an air of authority. Sometimes yes, that’s needed, but in my experience it’s pretty rare.
Your job as a leader is to set direction, make sure people know what’s expected of them, make sure they have everything they need to do their job, and then stay out of their way. Especially if you’re leading people who are already experienced and know what they’re doing.
My wife and I have been playing a ton of Valheim lately, it’s been super fun!
Yah they get big. I have 2 ragdoll boys, they’re both about 5kg, which I think is pretty average.
Follow up comment. I’ve just realised, this is British nachos. The toast is the corn chips. The beans are both salsa and frijoles. The cheese is… cheese.
Hung over shower (cleansing)
Bahaha fair call mate! The other artist who came to mind was Bryan Adams, who it turns out is Canadian so clearly I’m completely full of shit.
Logic and reason aside… Idk it just feels like American fluff to me. To be clear, I don’t mean to hate on American culture with that statement. Every culture has its own vapid, meaningless fluff. God knows Australian culture does!
Regardless of who sang it or wrote it, something about faith of the heart just feels really, really American to me. Obviously Trek has always been an American show, but it has always seemed to make an effort to be more universal than that. I still remember hearing faith of the heart for the first time and it just felt… foreign. Unrelatable.
And personally I just hate power ballads so that’s my own bias haha. My whole argument is vibes and opinions really, I make zero claim to being correct or even internally consistent on this.
