Re: Australia's Planned Social Media Ban Won't Include PSN After All

I'm a parent with teenage children in Australia and the amount of bullying that occurs in group chats on apps like WhatsApp is quite damaging. From a perspective of a parent, the ban is needed. For those that say freedoms are being killed off, there was no freedom of social media in schools twenty years ago because it did not exist - kids weren't taking phones to school and group chats weren't occurring. This is a new phenomenon that needs to be regulated appropriately.

Re: Poll: Share Your First Thoughts on The Last of Us TV Series

As someone who hasn't played the game before, I thought it was very well written. The introduction with the tv show introduced the premise well and you could relate to it having been through COVID. The scene with the dying daughter was heartbreaking and impactful. The government agency trying to quarantine the fungus reminded me of efforts made by governments during COVID. There were a few cheesy elements: the zombie people with the fungus coming out of their mouth looked a bit B-grade, and the graffiti written on the wall looked like something out of a computer game, and the hunt for the truck battery seemed like an obvious macguffin or sidequest from a game. But other than that it was entertaining.
