What do you guys think about The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth Commander precons?
  • I'm not sure about power levels, but I've ordered the Riders of Rohan and the Elven Council decks. I really love the theme for both of these and am excited to see how they play out of the box and with some potential tweaks from the set booster box I've grabbed.

    Do you have plans to pick one of them up?

    A large-scale search operation resumed at first light this morning for Lake Macquarie man Ashley McKellar, who is missing off the Newcastle coast.

    Daily random thread: inaugural TFIF edition (Friday June 16 2023)
  • It's sunny and around 20 here in Newy, though the wind is a little chilly today, looks like the weekend will be similar too.

  • Lightweight video editing software
  • I've found it can be a little resource intensive - though I only used it for a couple of projects and haven't tried it again!

    Does anyone else remember this story breaking last year? Apparently they've dropped manslaughter charges against the guy they've pegged with organising the whole deal.

    MTG: Lord Of The Rings - anyone else excited?

    I'm attending my first pre-release event for the new MTG Universes Beyond set and am super excited to get the new Commander decks to play with my small group.

    Anyone else excited for the set? What cards are you most looking forward to?

    Best split-screen PC games with controller support
  • Any of the Lego games are pretty awesome for local co-op.

    I'd also recommend Castle Crashers, it's a hack and slash / beat 'em up style game that supports up to 4 players locally.

  • Sunset, Camperdown near Dundee, Scotland - September 2015
  • This is an awesome shot!

    I've seen this happen with a few image posts, not sure what's happening there.

    Perhaps try hitting the preview button before posting, just incase.

  • Favorite party games?
  • Boardgames: I love playing social deduction games like Mafia and The Resistance with a big group, though they aren't everyones cup of tea (perhaps I enjoy lying too much?)

    Video games: We play a lot of Quake Arena in our office at work with a big group of people, also Genital Jousting with a smaller group of closer friends is silly fun.

  • Good free(mium) video editor?
  • I've mostly used kdenlive and have had a pretty positive experience, +1 from me

  • I made a list of Lemmy communities that talk about Nintendo
  • It's hard to tell at this point, in my opinion we need more active general communities before becoming too specific. It's been a little overwhelming seeing the fragmentation of communities across instances here on Lemmy. Hopefully something happens to improve the experience, I'm liking being involved so far though!

  • Who else is excited for The Plucky Squire?
  • I hadn't heard of this game but I'm definitely going to add it to my list to watch out for, thanks for sharing!

  • australian things. these fuckers
  • Yeah, look at them all wearing the same shirt and hat. Idiots.

  • Calls for ‘comprehensive ban’ on sports gambling ads in Australia as inquiry’s report looms
  • Good. Hopefully this passes and policy continues to squash this shit industry into the ground.

    Rephrasing something I've heard before, if you have to gamble to enjoy something then you probably don't actually enjoy it (sports, pubs, etc.)

  • Would people be interested in joining a card gaming community?
  • I'd be down for this too, I haven't found a lively community for MTG / Commander / EDH yet, which is the major CCG format I play.

    Generalised communities or specific?
  • I agree that being more general might help to produce more active communities to start with. Perhaps over time as people are requesting more communities there should be a voting threshold or poll system to see if enough people are interested before fragmenting a general community into more specific ones?

  • Getting started guide?

    I've seen similar sticky posts popping up in different meta / admin communities on other instances, any interest in creating a cross-post and pinning it to this meta community too? It might help newcomers to wrap their head around Lemmy if they arrive here without hitting any of the other Lemmy sites first.

    Australia dominates Decanter World Wine Awards
  • This is cool to see, thanks for sharing!

    I'm not a wine person but have a few family members and friends who are pretty into it, I also live near some pretty impressive wineries in the Hunter Valley.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Agreed, I believe there should be more policy and legislation from the top down rather than being conscious of my own behaviours when it comes to privacy.

    There should be harsher penalties for corporations or individuals found selling or leaking user data. There have been a number of high profile data breaches in Australia recently that I found went quiet far too quickly.

  • Community request - Australia
  • There are some newer posts over there when sorting by 'New', I have no idea why the 'Hot' posts are so old with no activity on them though.

    I agree that we should either have a new community here or add a link to the other community in a sticky / server sidebar note so that we can have more general discussion somewhere.

  • Community request - Australia
  • Looks like there is one on lemmy.ml.

    Hopefully that link works, I thnk I found the correct format to send people there without leaving this instance.

  • How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already?
  • Just deleted my ~13 year old account, I was never attached to it much, mostly lurked on subreddits that I enjoyed. Looking to be more active on lemmy though!

  • Anyone else based in Newcastle?

    Bringing BHP, Arnott's biscuits, Silverchair, and lock out laws to the wider Australia community. Anyone else out there reside in Newy?

    Allow non-admins to create communities?

    I noticed that this instance seems to have community creation locked to admin users, though nothing in the rules / sidebar mentions this.

    Would you be open to allowing users to create their own communities here in the future? Perhaps once there are some more active users to avoid diluting the communities we already have?

    I'm very new to the fediverse and lemmy, so please let me know if this isn't something that would be feasible for this instance.
