  • We don’t celebrate it. I think if you buy a calendar, it’ll have the day marked in it.

    As a nation we aren’t heavily unionized. Maybe it’s because we.would have just had a public holiday.

    Aussies have a public holiday on the 25th of April to remember the sacrifices of our soldiers. The day is called ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) day and there are dawn services.

    The day was chosen as the day of the landings at Gallipoli in World War I and was seen as a bit of our emergence of a country in our own right than just another colony of the British Empire.


  • And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.













  • I think so too…info dumped for OP.

    I think one of the Red vs Blue plotlines did include a reporter as part of the episodes around season 10-13. It got a pretty good following, so much so people called for the voice actors to be part of the official games, but they got.pretty close with caboose venturing into reach. https://youtu.be/Sh3AXwolioQ

    So they started season 1 with halo 1 filming people playing the game and putting their own voices over it. They had two groups of soldiers in a box canyon with bases and they were fighting as part of a ‘training’ program for super soldiers like master Chief but were freelancers.

    They even promoted the new games by making videos about them playing new levels.

    They got access to he official models and did motion capture of fights for videos in seasons 6-8 and I turned out about the time the reporter turned up.

    If you get into it, my recommendation is watch seasons 1, 6,7,8 and maybe 20 if you want more. 1 introduces the characters , 6,7,8 is a nice trilogy and 20 is the final season.

    Spoiling a little . It turns out project freelancer use an AI fragment and tried tonmake super soldiers and the director did some shady stuff and I think the reporter got wind of some things freelancer did.



  • I’m not a switch expert but can think of a reason why it might do this.

    The system might show it’s battery level to you as 100% to 0% when it might actually be draining from 100% to 5%. That last 5% might be used as a sort of internal Uninterruptible Power System .

    When the system boots up it might be doing some things where a power failure could have severe consequences like bricking the unit if the plug was pulled out and there was no battery.

    The system might use some swap space like storage or have some key variables kept in RAM which needs to be written out to non-volatile memory before the chips are powered down.

    For example let’s say it hibernates and it doesn’t or incorrectly writes the wrong instructions pointer address When the system poweres up, it might try and execute game data instead of instructions and not recover.

    Nintendo wouldn’t want to handle heaps of complaints of bricked systems due to exceptional circumstances like a power outage if it let the switch play off mains alone.

    That’s my theory, I could be wrong and I’m sorry it’s frustrating you.
