Why doesn't Australia have game devs or a game industry? Are there any game development house or companies there?
Why doesn't Australia have game devs or a game industry? Are there any game development house or companies there?
They did and it was peak
Any "industry" we have is just producing subpar shit or mobile sloppa.
The only thing of worth is being created by indies.
Reminder that Total War Medieval 2 was developed by an Australian studio
all banned
there is no freedom of expression in penal colonies
Why doesn't Australia have game devs or a game industry?
we've had this thread before.
reason is the govt isnt interested in funding or providing infrastructure for shit like small businesses and tech business.
our economy is all tourism, trades and mining.
everything else is just filler shit to supply those 3 industries.
Economically we're a third world nation larping as a first world one.
There's plenty but they all work as support studios for overseas
Their talent is moved overseas. Other countries also give government incentives. Australia killed theirs but there is a general media incentive for studios who are willing to kneel to Aboriginal propaganda
90s and 00s
Australian dollar is cheap
a bunch of studios start up in australia
2011
Australian dollar is worth more than the US dollar
all those studios shut down
only companies that survive are those who got in early during the mobile gaming boom
2025
Australian dollar is cheap again
AAA industry is imploding though so no funding
A tonne of 3rd world countries have been set up for outsourcing anyway
The only people with some success are indies doing their own thing
Australians aren't real.
Any you think you have seen were just small kangaroos wearing the preserved skins of old English convicts sent there in the past.
reason is the govt isnt interested in funding
..do you think those fuckers in Bulgaria or Ukraine that make games in their basement are being funded by their governments?
2K Australia upstaged Gearbox and made them look like retards with how good Borderlands The Pre-sequel was and now the rest of the industry fears the Man from Down Under.
Poland funded CDPR millions you stupid retarded faggot.
Not just a matter of funding or handouts but the government also intentionally stifles the tech sector through rigorous restrictions, fees, etc on top of the usual rigamarole and high costs faced by small business startups in any other sector.
They effectively kill our tech sector so they can say they're importing infinite jeets to improve the tech sector. It's all a masquerade to ruin australia because they hate their own country.
schedule 1 is also made by an aussie solodev but it got banned here lol, it will probably be refused classification soon
Damn, Australia looks awful
Economically we're a third world nation larping as a first world one.
QRD on this
Is CDPR making games in their basement you utter mongoloid?
We're talking about the overall sector, I don't care what irrelevant direction you took the argument, nigger
Pandemic studios in Brisbane was our last heavy hitter. I'm fairly sure it's because it's just not easy to operate this kind of business in Australia/not financially sustainable in general anymore. We could have had an industry but it's likely down to generally bad decisions in business in our country that led to this.
Where are they covered in Cheeto dust?
Brisbane
Why does this city get so much hate?
I was talking about small devs who apparently can make and release games without gov subsidies, YOU took it to CDPR, because you're a 67 IQ, low comprehension, mongoloid.
He's an idiot who doesn't understand what the First/Second/Third world designation actually implies.
Australia is in an economic situation akin to Venezuela however.
Because their City council is full of retards and the people that live there are generally rude cunts because Queensland is essentially our version of California/Miami but with less trannies and niggers.
Australians
Rude
Well I never...
Brisbane was where AAA happened basically. Medieval II: Total War for example was developed by a disbanded Brisbane branch of Creative Assembly in Fortitutde Valley, i think it was just labeled Sega Studios Australia. Whom also worked on Stormrise, which was less than stellar. But i think most would agree that med 2 total war was top tier RTS. I'm pretty sure it's because Stormrise was such a flop that was the reason they had to die. I can't remember the reason.
Sarcasm? Paddington, Ann Street in the CBD, Fortitude Valley, Teneriffe, Hamilton, Clayfield, Kalinga, North Lakes, and Redcliffe are the best
Fortitude Valley has Black Bear Lodge Live music bar, Bunker Nightclub, Cabaret Nightclub, Candy Club Strip Club, Kommunity Nightclub, La La Land Brisbane, Prince Consort Hotel, Shangri-Lae Nightclub, MAGIC MEN Gay Club, Marquee Bar, Mi Casa Nightclub, Prohibition Night Club, Retro's Fortitude Valley, heaps of good stuff there
Lack of creativity and entrepreneurship. The few aussies that dream big move out of that soulless land.
It has nothing to do with lack of government help because that's how it works in most of the world. If everyone waited around for daddy government to prop up their new business idea nothing would get done.
you see it's actually a political designation
And traditionally it has had a strong correlation with economic development.
Australia games
Now I imagine video game characters talking in Australian accent.
QUEENSLANDER
Marquee doesn't exist anymore, it's some gay cowboy bar now.
game industry
Just three dudes in the basement
could have made a game to help tourism
could have made a game incentivised about trades & mining in straya
even some game about the wildlife and climate like your old documentaries with malcolm douglas, rob bredl or steve irwin and pull in your animal parks, perhaps a little survival game something akin the forrest or even if it just has to be a simple ue5 slop game with diving along the coast to see its fauna, you got to start somewhere, just ideas i came up with while opening this thread
Sorry mate, this is all you get. Enjoy your government-funded pomnis and murder drones.
Switzerland is and always has been a third world country.
We made LA Noire, one of the best games of all time
Switzerland
As I said, an economically struggling country.
Apparently some random bogan in a bogan town just decided to teach himself how to make games and made pic related.
truue they pray fivetimes a day that germany manages to keep the EU afloat or their exile currency will crash but this is another topic :) not for Anon Babble
Brisbane
Brisbane used to be laid back, but now it feels like a rat race with all the aggression of sydney
Brisbane without a car you're confined to the central business district or Fortitude Valley, neither of which are great walkable areas. You can get to Southbank too but you have to take a bus over the Victoria Bridge to QPAC which is a nightmare
Fortitude Valley is a no go zone, the gay nightclub district of Brisbane, where all strippers whinging about guys not tipping them and homeless people everywhere always begging and trying to start fights
Fortitude Valley station where people are just sleeping on the sidewalk, pissing and shitting, drinking, shooting up drugs
Homeless everywhere, loudspeaks with automated voice tell cunts not to ride bikes or vape in the mall
New tents cities are popping up across the Brisbane CBD
No jobs
lot of meth heads around George st, especially near the corner for turbot and George near the old hotel
driving has become complete shit in brisbane, parks and sidewalks have so much litter now aswell
Surfer's Paradise is Homeless Paradise
mass immigration hub that the CBD has become
Sydney and Melbourne are more expensive. All our jobs are there. Brisbane and Perth are just country towns in comparison
Toowoomba units are more expensive than ones near brissy and goldie
St Pauls Cathedral lets homeless people sleep on their grounds from 6pm to 6am
The top of queen street seems to be a magnet for drug effected people screaming at each other
terrible traffic, floods most of the time , pretty boring suburbs. M1 to get away is choked on most peak hours
onions animal crossing
I'll stick to Ty thanks, a game that truly embodies the Australian spirit.
Ty is gay shit made by a fat greasy wog furry.
We're a little busy digging up dirt and importing uber eats drivers mate
Why does this city get so much hate?
Turns out diversity is in fact not a strength.
We made Hell Let Loose.
I don't get it bros.
Why is Brisbane Bestbane?
Why can't the other losers compete?
We're a little busy digging up dirt and importing uber eats drivers mate
What is the job market like in straya?
Brisbane
sounds like you described a blueprint for a GTA made in straya
PVPJV
Why is Brisbane Bestbane?
Why can't the other losers compete?
Mate
Go to the valley and say that lol
A GTA set in an Australian setting would be fuarking kino. However the average western NPC wouldn't get the humor until like 10 years later. Basically what happened with shows like British Top Gear.
What is the job market like in straya?
There's two job markets, there's the skilled white job market, which is excellent, then there's the third world job market where uneducated whites duke it out with imported brown and yellow to be the skilled whites slaves. That isn't so much a job market as an economical gladiatorial arena.
Australia has very low economic complexity and our export economy is almost entirely dependent on fossil fuels and agriculture. There's also somewhat of an anti-intellectual culture here which dissuades people from seeking education in fields like computer science. Combined, it leads to no significant game or software industry in this country. A lot of talented people just end up moving overseas in frustration, so our best talent gets brain drained by Europe or USA
t. someone who moved overseas from Australia for this reason
t. someone who moved overseas from Australia for this reason
What are the downsides of straya and what pushed you to leave?
Australia's white collar job market is trash compared to the US and Canada. We massively underpay white collar workers in this country. The only group that gets paid decently are doctors, surgeons, psychs and other medical professionals because they all have professional guilds that advocate for their members
trash
we
Yank word. Piss off, sep.
Australia has very low economic complexity
Horseshit, Aus has one of the most diversified economies on the planet, it's why it weathers economic turmoil better than most countries.
I guarantee you're just an underachieving midwit who still lives in Aus and blames the country for your personal failures.
I said skilled, not white collar. White collar is not skilled.
I actually came back in the past few years because the US is falling apart. But the opportunities for software engineers overseas are just ridiculously superior. And it's not even about pay, it's just the scale of the challenges available. You get to work on systems with hundreds of millions or billions of users. And there's no ambition in this country to change.
As I've grown older and with the extreme instability in the world, I appreciate what this country offers a lot more - stability, sanity, high quality of life, long lifespans. But unfortunately, the rest of the world still reigns supreme in the software field and it will probably never change in that regard
dumb
we've had this thread before
Welcome to Anon Babble.
Indians.
Chinese.
Abos.
Taxes.
Everything is out there to get you including the wilderness.
Its not a nice place to be and extremely corrupt, you can only enjoy the idea of Australia if you have a fetish for being cucked out of your money to pay for a nanny state that charges everything to shit and stores that rip you off and internet that sucks ass and is definitely not routed through the Chinese networks. LMAO.
this entire thread alone shows what a goldmine it is
the average western NPC wouldn't get the humor until like 10 years later,
then so be it anon the game will make money sooner or later as an indie dev you are not forced to deliver yesterday and with video games who knows what niche streamer with 10k viewers will help your algorythm and make your local humor meme worthy for decades to come
Red Fly was an underrated studio. RIP.
Australia has objectively rock bottom economic complexity with regards to our exports. Pakistan and several African countries are higher up than us.
Unfortunately this is what happens when a country has 'Dutch Disease' - fossil fuels and minerals that are so abundant that there is no reason to create a more complex economy.
They're too busy kneeling to their aboriginal masters
Not everyone says "rubbish" like you, fuckin drongo cunt.
'Rubbish' is falling out of favour in Australia because of our cultural proximity to the US. Deal with it faggot
Australia has objectively rock bottom economic complexity with regards to our exports.
So? We're not an export reliant country you midwit.
Everyone does say rubbish, actually. Stop watching Americans on the telly and you'd know how the rest of us speak.
Stick it up your arse, yank.
So you concede the point that our exports are pitifully non-diversified
No gun culture, would be extremely hard to make a game about Australia with GTA in it.
But but muh criminals don't care.
Yeah and I don't care either, you gave away all your fucking guns like good lapdogs, lmao.
no ned kelly-inspired rdr3
Just do it R* for fuck's sake. Mad Max proved there's a global market for this shit.
2020
Disingenuous clown.
So you concede the point that our exports are pitifully non-diversified
I never said anything about our exports, I was just correcting you on being wrong about our economic complexity you goal post shifting fuckwit.
No gun culture
Everyone I know has guns, they're just locked up separately from ammunition.
No gun culture, would be extremely hard to make a game about Australia with GTA in it.
I don't know how you could say that when Sleeping Dogs exists. The only way you can get guns in Sleeping Dogs is one-off vault rewards or mission leftovers and it's way easier to get guns in Aus than that.
More dinkum than you fucking true blue retard
There's also somewhat of an anti-intellectual culture here which dissuades people from seeking education in fields like computer science
Why are there so many international and foreign students in Australia? Why don't they study in their own countries?
I guarantee you're just an underachieving midwit who still lives in Aus and blames the country for your personal failures.
He is, he makes the same posts every time there's an Aus thread. He's either neet loser or a seething chink diaspora.
too busy getting stabbed by "youths" because nogunz
and no police because they're all corrupt extortionist that spent their budget on an expensive recruitment campaign
More dinkum than you fucking true blue retard
Yet you use words like "trash", "take-out", "side walk", "parking lot", "erb", "candy", "humdinger", and "dude" just like a bloody yank.
even if your no gun culture was right they could always pull a crocodile dundee
There's also somewhat of an anti-intellectual culture here which dissuades people from seeking education in fields like computer science. Combined, it leads to no significant game or software industry in this country.
Absolute fucking retard, we have one of the highest per capita throughputs in academia, the reason there's no game developers here is because cunts can earn twice as much doing real work vs making vidya.
has police recruitment left the shitter yet? I don't even have a tv to watch the news but last I heard they couldnt hit recruiting targets even after that campaign and a record pay increase
You can get an ability from the skill tree where you can picklock the cop cars trunk and find a gun from there. Usually a pistol. Can be obtained really early into the game even. Sleeping Dogs makes sense due to the character being an under cover cop in a place that has a lot of gang activity. (Hong Kong, British Rule.)
has police recruitment left the shitter yet?
No one wants to be a pig in this country after covid.
literally doing some vidya related elective units at my uni in early 2010s
government and uni were making a huge deal about vidya being a future industry that's all huge and exciting
talked a lot of shit but didn't stump up any real money to fund projects and studios and build infrastructure like mocap facilities.
Canada did and they won big while the remaining australian vidya studios ended up consigned to mobileshit or dead.
[all sorts of headcanon]
Don't know half of those words. You know sure know a lot more about yank lingo than I do, maybe you're projecting, or maybe you're just mad as a fucking cut snake. Cheers, cunt.
This masterpiece was made by Melbourne House
Going to be interesting with all the future doctors and lawyers stabbing each other in record numbers while police numbers decline.
golden opportunity in one of the best countries on earth
turn it into low trust society with a weak police force
All it took was repealing the white australia policy, unreal that we're not beheading pollies
canada won big
My fucking sides. All that happened in Canadad was the tax payers got fleeced to fund the most woke drivel imaginable and now their entire country is bankrupt.
Oh yeah Sweet Baby Inc? also funded by the Canadian tax payer.
you can picklock the cop cars trunk and find a gun from there
That could easily be implemented in Australia, it's not like the UK where they straight up don't have guns. And it's not like Sleeping Dogs is remotely realistic.
Fuck up, poof. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Like this dickhead calling a boot a "trunk".
But the opportunities for software engineers overseas are just ridiculously superior.
Why didn't you do a trade mate?
Electrician
Plumber
Painter
Carpenter
Airconditioning/Heating Technician
Paver
Plasterer
Roofer
Crane Operator
Welder
Metal Fitter / Machinist
Metal Fabricator
Cabinetmaker
the reason there's no game developers here is because cunts can earn twice as much doing real work vs making vidya.
Same exact dynamic in America, sometimes even lower (FAANG pays 3-4x game dev), yet they still have a thriving industry. That's not the reason
Why didn't you do a trade mate?
Takes 4 years and nobody wants a first-year tradie and you have to be apprenticed to even get the trade school courses it's bullshit.
Why are you using living in aus as an insult…
American website cunt.
Going to be interesting with all the future doctors and lawyers stabbing each other in record numbers while police numbers decline.
The future doctors and lawyers will just become the police, it's what's happened in the UK and Aus cop shops just dropped english and residency requirements significantly to allow fresh imports to do the job.
So nah, we're not going to get a weak police force, we're going to get a highly corrupt and violent third world police force which will make the current corrupt lot blush.
Not everyone wants to be a fucking tradie obviously. Good on you for picking that path, but people who are good are programming are not going to become an HVAC installer just for the hell of it
it will be commonplace for people to kill nigger cops with smuggled norincos in your lifetime
wild
get meme degree
u can now become a citizen
don't even need to attend a class
if you're not a tradie, you'll likely never make a decent living
O rearry?
Same exact dynamic in America, sometimes even lower (FAANG pays 3-4x game dev), yet they still have a thriving industry. That's not the reason
Not true at all, vidya programmers get paid extremely well in the US. Vidya programmers in Aus make less than a KFC manager and half as much as a programmer in any other field.
plasterer isn't a real trade you fucking use glue and staples for a living, a donkey could do that job
Plasterers make a lot of money and always have work on.
plasterer isn't a real trade you fucking use glue and staples for a living, a donkey could do that job
Either is scaffolding, but they still make bank.
Nice selfie home boy, you are not a real country cunt, a prison colony.
Australia ranks 102nd out of 145 countries in the Economic Complexity Index (ECI)
Australia is a FIRE and Mining economy. It "weathers" economic turmoil because of China picking up slack.
home boy
Seppofied teenager detected.
calm down nigga that's just hiro LOL
Despite the Crocodile Dundee, Steve Irwin, rough explorer stereotype, Australia is one of the most gynocratic shitholes in the entire world. The Australian media also reports more on American news than Australian news, Australian universities are just as much woke shitholes as American universities.
What is considered a "good" salary in straya? And how much are you expected to pay week-by-week for rent?
>No gun culture, would be extremely hard to make a game about Australia with GTA in it.
Boomerangs&a fistfull of spiders.
There, problem solved.
GTA makes no sense because Australia is no guns nanny state.
It makes more sense for Red Dead Australia during Ned Kelly/Bushman era, and is something I've been wanting for a long time (not even Australian)

I just don't talk urban american calling them a "homie" like an african. "home boy" is the term "neighborhood" not "the hood." Do you wear a skirt just because its popular fashion with africans? Do you wear your pants so slow they show off your boxers too cunt?
Not getting $90/ph as a sparkly
Why did you lads go to private schools and uni again?
Forgot to post. Also, the host of a famous Australian radio show was forced to step down after making a joke about how he doesn’t care about the Australian women’s football team, every major Australian media outlet called him a “horrible misogynist”.
Depends where you live. Obviously Melbourne and Sydney are going to have higher pay and higher rents compared to Fingal.
I'd argue more woke than burgerland, 'cause I've experienced that shit first hand in the city
they still haven't taken down "pride" flags in some regions
so low* fucking speed typing on red switches sometimes
Pants go underneath your trousers, retard.
At least their conservative news are no bullshit usually (unless its blatant they were paid off) reporting on cases and good at digging through dirt like real journalists, just like French news.
superTARD post btw
How much of that goes to the taxman? Here tradies are taxed 50% for social security and the like, whereas for regular wagies it’s hidden in the employer part of the bill
Is there a vidya about the Great Emu War?
because of China picking up slack.
The same china that tariffs the shit out of us and starts trade wars over having it's feelings hurt?
Yeah nah.
i can second this, i'd say half the higher ups in my industry fucked off to the USA for 5 years to make mad dosh and get assloads of experience on shit you didn't even know was possible in Aus.
See that's UK shit again you are getting confused like you are about your gender fag.
Only seppos call trousers "pants"
Good in Australia is probably 60kUSD+ for the average person. (though if you have a degree in STEM or something useful, you will pretty much jump into 80kUSD+ job entry level)
Average Australian is on about 45kUSD.
Australian's spend around $31k USD on rent per year, leaving $14k USD spending money/savings.
See that's UK shit again
Like most things, we share it with the UK. If you spent your youth socialising instead of watching American telly then you would know that.
Also should not, unlike the US and UK, most Australians don't go to University, it's still seen more as an elite/upper middle class thing. Or at least did when I lived there in the 2010s.
This gives WAAAAY better prospects than you would have in the US/UK without a degree. If you don't have a degree in the UK for example, enjoy functionally being one foot in the homeless line.
This is pretty amusing to read because there are job postings in Australia for my job that pay twice my salary.
Why did you lads go to private schools and uni again?
I didn't, I just neet and slum lord out my grandparents house to thirdies.
Imagine fucking working in Aus LMFAO
Either is scaffolding, but they still make bank.
Scaffys, painters and plasterers make bank, but it all goes into the copious amounts of ICE they buy to get through the day.
Never, ever met a Scaffolder that wasn't a fucking methhead or coke addict and I worked as a boilermaker and pipefitter for 10 years.
You know there are but you wanted to make your shitty off topic jerk off thread.
This is pretty amusing to read because there are job postings in Australia for my job that pay twice my salary.
Yeah same here, I think that Aussie is lying or just ignorant of how much better paid jobs in Australia are. I've got lots of family that have moved there from the UK and almost tripled their income with a huge jump in quality of life as well.
I don't know about scaffys and painters. Plasters are all on ice and tilers aren't far behind, though.
I think he's probably onto something otherwise we'd have seen the real development studios come back to this country, our best ones in the past were satellite but fully geared on development. Now it's all just support studio shit. AKA jobs no one cares about and are not really making games happen. We got stuff like Riot Games in Sydney (Wargaming) or EA's firemonkeys studio in melbourne, Sledgehammer games in Melbourne which no one gives a shit about nor can it ever really be considered anything more than support slop or in some cases mobile slop.
I think the only semi triple A studio left is the ex Visceral melbourne guys who formed the studio Playside. Whom worked on The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners VR and do actually have a good looking game coming out i will admit.
Just a friendly reminder all tradies are scum. Everyone hates tradies.
Trade unions should be crushed, tradie salaries slashed, and massive amounts of Latin American tradies imported to undercut the locals and get people in the trades that actually work hard, do good work and don't try to rip off the Australian people.
Tradies are traitors to the nation, kids that drop out of high school to scam Aussies for a quick buck are fucking disgusting.
you can make great money after doing a trade apprenticeship since we don't have unlimited mexicans, unions protect the field with super strict licensing (not even allowed to replace a wall socket) and keeping trades off the migration priority list or at least making it hard to relicense in Australia.
Meanwhile most IT degrees you'll probably end up doing tech support to boomers because there's shit all advanced jobs. Medicine is still good if you've got insanely good school results required to get in, but even law is oversupplied and you'll have to be a volunteer paralegal for years before you might get a low paid job in that field.
Hey guys, I noticed you are all talking about politics instead of video games.
Can I recommend taking this to the board dedicated to political discussion?
since we don't have unlimited mexicans
Yeah we do, for a while our country held parity with china on trade skills so that someone who is a qualified tradie in china was now considered qualified in australia, they ended that recently and swapped to jeets as part of the infinity jeets plan to ruin the west.
Why, so the whole thread can devolve into praising terrorist groups and posting anti-Semitic shit.
you can make great money after doing a trade apprenticeship since we don't have unlimited mexicans, unions protect the field with super strict licensing (not even allowed to replace a wall socket) and keeping trades off the migration priority list or at least making it hard to relicense in Australia.
This is why we have a housing crisis, a decimated nepotistic construction industry and everything takes so long to build btw
I think he's probably onto something
He's not, he's just woefully ignorant of how well top tier academics and programmers are paid in Aus.
Our defence, space and economic industries hoover up the talent that would otherwise piss away their time and energy making kids toys.
There are guys working regular 9-5's in engineering fields making more money than the blokes who made Hollow Knight.
Hey, I noticed you continued to post about politics instead of video games which is off topic.
m8... all those industries are riding on the back of mining, farming and tourism. Exports are what matters on the global stage. And our export complexity is hardly any different to middle eastern oil exporters, which is extremely dangerous especially when environmentalism is never going to stop rising.
and keeping trades off the migration priority list
he doesn't know what Albo did
Ahahahaha oh fuck the next few years are going to be hilarious.
(not even allowed to replace a wall socket)
this shit's hilarious to me

Issues with Australia:
nanny state to a ridiculous level. Gel ball blasters were banned wtf.
Geriotcracy ass country that is literally run on the whims of Home owner association boomers, mining oligarchs and developers, which means "no fun allowed".
Literally fucking ADULT CURFEWS in the form of lockout laws
Doof scene only form of youth culture/nightlife that existed due to being extremely underground and hard for the police to immediately crush.
No community. Not even a real Pub culture.
Everyone is a fucking conservative snitch and you can't even let wild a bit without someone seeing you and it getting back to your family to be brought up over dinner.
Anti-intellectual to a fucking pathological level. Having any sort of interests beyond NRL will get you called a fag.
Extremely cut off from the rest of the world.
Australian chicks are extremely uptight, haughty and frigid.
I would return to Australia, but I know I would be bored out of my brain within a couple months after I get my desire to go 4x4'ing through the Kosciuszko again out of my system. As much as I think the state over here is fucking DIRE. At last I can spend my weekends, walking over to the park, to meet up with my friends, and we go on all sorts of wild and fun adventures and have fun, meeting up with randoms, ending up at a squat party or out in the hills looking for ancient ruins or some shit, or even just talking to 10/10 Euro cuties in a pub, every single Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.
In Australia it's drive over to friends, sit in their backyard as they cook up some snags while they smoke indica, then do a Youtube blackhole. It's boring as fuck and I find it near impossible to get Australians to commit to doing anything that actually takes effort, like going even to the beach, or 4x4'ing or going to a Doof despite all these things are way more fun and interesting than just smoking weed, snags and youtube.
This is too depressingly real, have to leave the thread now.
People here do know that COVID was like 5 years ago right?
Why the fuck are people still posting as if lockdowns are still on?
nooooo I wasted 6 years of my life studying STEM at university only to get a $60k office job that's about to be either outsourced to India or replaced by AI while Bruce the plumber gets $1200 a day installing toilets it's not fair!
you love to see it.
>Australian chicks are extremely uptight, haughty and frigid.
I agree with the rest but you're clearly ugly as fuck and also autistic if you think aussie chicks aren't the easiest sluts known to man
Australia is a land of extremes. While 99% of the country are mediocre ugly dumbfuck bogan deadshits the 1% are smarter intellectuals, stronger athletes, more beautiful models, more talented actors, more artistic painters/authors/musicians than anywhere in the world.
Because it should never be forgotten what dan did to everyone

Australia had a gun culture until 1996
you go back to the frontier era and it was indistinguishable from the American old west
Australian chicks are extremely uptight, haughty and frigid.
Why do so many Australian women have tattoos and nipple piercings?
gross, i hope a muslim kills her
Yeah it’s bullshit. Most jobs here pay better than the UK. The only exception is law
At least I'm a real human being that will make something of my life. You'll have a fucked back and arthritic hands by 60 with nothing to show for it except a gambling addiction, a shitty house in Western Sydney and two daughters that gleefully smile as black guys shoot fat ropes on their faces. Keep installing toilets champ, meanwhile I'll be studying in the hallowed libraries of Oxford.
Australia had a gun culture until 1996

We literally have more guns today than in 1996.
I'm talking about programming roles in the US obviously. Remember to factor in currency conversion. AUD = 0.65 USD, so a $200k job in the US is $310k AUD. US programming jobs also offer stock compensation in addition to your salary, and that can be upwards of $100k extra money per year, depending on how generous your employer is.
I wouldn't recommend to anyone to work there nowadays, but there is significant money to be made overseas.
Shit larp.
now compare it to population growth
does anyone in this country even get a (good) apprenticeship without knowing someone? it seems like all apprenticeships are acquired through knowing someone rather than actually applying on job boards.
I think they can even study cleaning at TAFE?

Americans had natives who they didn't try to completely just wipe out, only the enemy ones who acted stupid. Australia had abos they tried genociding and failed poorly at. Its not even the same. Did everyone own a gun in Frontier Australia that was a civilian?
No.
Maybe if you're like 16 and can get in as a cheapo.
You'll be on government welfare or pushing trolleys at the supermarket when you're 60 because all knowledge jobs will have been replaced with ChatGPT-v19 or gone to India or China who will be your imperial masters.
now compare it to population growth
Firearms per capita is the highest it's ever been, and shitskins have probably brought in a fuck ton of guns on their own.
Go out and get a gun can't and quit repeating this nonsense that gun culture is dead in Aus because you're a neet faggot.
Why do so many Australian women have tattoos
Those women act like blokes 'one of the boys' is huge here
nipple piercings
Because they're hot
go olutside
get beat up by a pack of kangaroos
go inside to take a shit
a spider snake chimera bites off your balls
ChatGPT can't generate knowledge and doesn't possess the capacity for abstract thought, but what would you know, you clean the shit from drains.
This, at best they can reiterate what's in their databank, lmao.
As a person teaching at a uni.
The amount of students who have failed in the last year because of using chatGPT is wild.
It's not even that they're cheating that upsets me, it's how bad they are at doing it.
we already peaked like 15 years ago
what more do you want from us?
also we made fruit ninja
and hollow knight, untitled goose game, cult of the lamb
Europe isn't braindraining anyone these days. There's a massive problem with talent bleedout.

you could walk into a general store and buy a colt revolver for six shillings. and then carry it on your hip as a conversation piece. Many did, for personal protection.
do you have a single source to back that up?
Because there's no tech sector here, because there's no government investment in it, because miningniggers stifle it in every way they can
It may be possible for that to change if labor disregards those faggots and makes them actually pay tax for once as they rightfully should
doesn't matter as long as boomer investor and ceo class believe it. At best it can slightly improve the performance of entry level coders who are now typically jeets. Tech boom is dead, "just learn to code bro" was never gonna work. Unless you've already got like 7 years experience in whatever popular field you're not getting hired as a junior.
I'm a firm believer that if you have a below distinction average (~80%) you need to be kicked out of uni.
You have not experienced British chicks. I do not think it's possible to go out in the UK, hit up a Student pub, and not get laid the second you open your mouth with an Australian accent. Though it might depend on where you lived. I lived in Sydney and spent a lot of time in Melbourne and Canberra for work, I've heard Gold Coast/Brisbane is way more slutty.
Not my car, I just wanted a picture of a Patrol lol. Me and my friend 4x4 in a Nissan Patrol GQ and a 2001 Hilux.
4x4ing was a nesscity for me because I was a scout to try find locations to have doofs, also worked on Snowy Hydro for a year. (check out Geehi dam, that small cabin on the left side of it, is where I lived for a year, had literally NatGeo mags from the early 20th century in it)
My guess this is probably QLD. Chicks in Sydney, Canberra and Melb were massive haughty fucking cliquey assholes.
What happened to Holden and Ford? Why were they shut down?
Stormrise was such a flop that was the reason they had to die. I can't remember the reason.
Because it was fucking terrible! What the fuck were they thinking when they designing the controls for the camera?
to where...
Any time anyone uses -- I absolutely know it's chatGPT. I've never seen anyone use -- as grammar ever until recently, and it's something ChatGPT overuses massively.
You have not experienced British chicks. I do not think it's possible to go out in the UK, hit up a Student pub, and not get laid the second you open your mouth with an Australian accent.
Why is it like this?
Foreign car companies begging for government subsidies to make large sedans which were going out of fashion in favor of SUVs and smaller hatchbacks
also
Liberals BTFOing the unions even if it fucks the whole country over
because miningniggers stifle it in every way they can
Why do they do this? What do they gain or lose from doing this?
Eventually we'll share the credit of games made in China, once the CCP subjugates this country under PLA full military control. Considering our own national defense is so weak that a virgin airlines pilot had to phone in a bunch of Chinese warships near our border that alluded our national defense forces attention and our own prime minister refuses to call it out as a provocation. Albo Is also defunding a 'china hawk' think tank at the request of the CCP, which put out reports of a poorly funded Australian naval force and military. Eventually we'll be all like: yeah we made Black Myth Wukong comrade! as we type that sentence in our Chinese made gulag with Albo's blessing.
What part of pathological liar did you not understand mate?
NOT THE UNIONS
God, what would we do without the overtly Communist, Irish-catholic Fenians that infest the union movement and participate in organised crime and thuggery?
our economy is all tourism, trades and mining.
you forgot gambling smoking and drinking
huge amount of wealth concentrated in a small number of people.
McDonalds employs more Australians then all mining combined despite mining making up 14% of our GDP
What happened to Holden and Ford? Why were they shut down?
American parent companies ran their companies into the ground, shut down the Aus branches to cut costs and protect jobs in the US.
Our government should have just bought the factories here.
If it was just that I would be fine. It's how fucking long everything is, you're writing a lab report, I don't need 4 pages of inane bullshit that's all wrong.
I dunno, there's a lot of people who are in the distinction + range which are dumb as shit.
The mining lobby has a grip on Australian politics as much as AIPAC has a grip on American politics. The Australian government would sooner cut spending on education or healthcare than to raise taxes on mining companies. Sometimes the Australian government even builds hundreds of kilometres long roads or railways for those mining companies, out in the wilderness, paid for by the Australian taxpayer, just so coal can be transported to ports and shipped overseas. What does the Australian taxpayer get in return? Nothing. Mining company execs get more yachts.
if you think aussie chicks aren't the easiest sluts known to man
I dunno what I'm doing wrong, I'm 24 and a virgin. I don't want to go on dating apps because it's humiliating and I don't want to go to clubs or pubs
What do anon
Oh that's awesome, never played online mode and didn't know that. I'm pretty sure they also referenced Australia in singleplayer. I really hope they set RDR in Australia in their next title but sadly I think it's going to be a decade or more from now
We permanently revoke union rights and make them into organized crime groups, then we make guilds great again. 4 years of training for a specific job if one meets the criteria and a good chance for getting a job with the training. Worth more than a tranny's college degree! Keeping it trad and based.
And how do they lose their wealth if Australia's tech industry thrives?
No competition. If everyone's involved in mining, all the money goes through them and/or to them*
NOTE: Yes it's unhealthy for the country in the long run. They either don't know or don't care. Billionaires are shrewd and ruthless, but sometimes they're also retarded. Tell it to them if you think they might listen
oh won’t somebody PLEASE think of the poor multibillion dollar corporations
Why do libs hate unions but love lobbies which are just unions for corporations?
Brits worship Australia and bootlick the ground Australians walk on. The goal of every single white british person is to fuck off to Canada or Australia.
Raised on Home and Away, Neighbours and whatever as well. in Australian guy gets a +5 attractiveness handicap due to the accent alone. What's hilarious is meeting up with other Australians, to me they talk completely normally, then when British chicks show up at the pub, they are suddenly "OI CRIKEY, LOOK AT THEM BEAUTIES STRUUUTH" lmao, and of course, girls basically drop their fucking panties right there.
Be in any Euro pub with other Australians, pic related walks in and it's basically watching wolves descend on lambs.
Because there's no tech sector here
Fucking what? Half of SA is one giant brain farm, all the companies around me are in the defense industry or straight up sending shit into space.
I have lunch most days with these blokes.
Disliking an ideology that calls for domestic terrorism, anti-Anglo sentiment, and working with bikies means you love corpo cock
The goal of every single white british person is to fuck off to Canada or Australia.
Is the UK really that bad now?

FUCKEN GIVE US SOME CUNT I'M STARVIN'
Mining booms making mega money which makes the AUD stronger compared to other currency.
That makes Australian exports and labor more expensive and unable to compete with other countries.
So should be tax mining to fund infrastructure, invest and give our other industries a chance? Nooo you can't do that we'll Rudd/Gillard you if you even think about it.
Our government should have just bought the factories here.
Does Australia manufacture anything anymore?
Jeet kun do?
More like jeet can't do
How do Brits react to you moving from Australia to Britain, given that migration usually happens the other way around?
These two blokes pull like crazy in literally every country in the world. being an aussie is easy mode

fucked up timeline
Does Australia manufacture anything anymore?
Yeah a bit of just about everything.
We were working on a 64 player Mercenaries game when we got shit canned. Might actually be a leaked copy out there floating around.
byproducts of tourism, trades and mining.
gambling drinking and smoking only exist to keep the top 3 happy and profitable
Yes, it is fucking horrific.
London is literally non-white and a fucking shithole.
Most other UK cities are delapidated shitholes where even with a STEM degree and 10 years experience you will get paid maybe 30kAUD a year.
UK has the worst weather, it doesn't even rain, it's drizzle, then cloudy then drizzle then cloudy, then suddenly sun for 10 seconds as a treat, then drizzle then cloudy so you never really know what to dress for.
When I went over here, I spent a few years in the UK (trapped over Covid) then got the fuck out and went to Europe and it's a pretty drastic improvement.
Housing issue despite lands everywhere
B-But it's inhabitable!!
If human can terraform Mars, then they should be able to build more houses in Australia.
ITT a bunch of neets making up excuses as to why THEY haven't made games despite the fact they've sat around do fucking nothing on the governments dime for a decade
Loving every laugh.
Nothing more Australian than to blame others for your own failures.
this is probably our smartest prime minister btw.
I don't live in the UK anymore it's miserable, but when I did, it was a universal "Why in fuck did you come here? Everyone is trying to get over there" lol.
They made The Doctor black, it's gotten that bad.
And now we can’t work in the rest of the EU because of Brexiteer boomers.
Passport broing in the UK must be fun, loads of big titty stocky slags willing 'ta giv you a gobby love!'
Vaxx status?
Where do you live now?

Watch Britain will plunge into a year-long recession this autumn in which households will be hit by the deepest fall in living standards on record, the Bank of England has warned
Inflation will now peak at 13.3 per cent in the final months of the year as average energy bills trebel from £1200 to £3500 by October
It's impossible to get anything to rent in any major town in the UK for less than £900
Liz Straight up says Chinese workers are better than lazy, low productivity Bri'ish workers who don't know the meaning of graft because British work culture is crap and and Brexit voters are idiots who just chose something because of hollow messages

The only "games" Ausfailia produces is slots and other gambling sloppa, which is their main industry.
Hell, during the scamdemic, horse racing and other gambling venues were considered "essential" and exempt from clot shot pass checks.
Their other industry is exploiting natural resources.
Holy cow those pussies must be absolutely blown out by the amount of roadmen bbc they've seen
this is the kind of thing i would expect george w bush to say LMAO
i'm so sorry aussies
You do not need grants to make videogames.
Like with anything in reality, you need people who have the drive and will to do it.
Not so smart with his dam project albeit. Complete disaster. Turnbull was to the first to sway the liberals into the whole net zero crap too and mainstreaming greens sort of policies. Anyone that pushed us away from using fossil fuels and natural gasses is damaging our county's economy irreparably. At least as far as energy is concerned.
I dunno about industry and Australia gave us Armello and the Hand of Fate games, so their game devs are ok in my books.
The entire gambling industry is a massive drain on the economy, it doesn’t produce anything, no goods, no services, it’s just a massive wealth transfer from the working class to gambling company execs.
Because the lobby groups give them money and the unions don't.
You failed to finish developing LA Noire and Rockstar had to stitch together whatever crap you had done into a somewhat workable game.

Literally the same as video games.

We're perhaps the most docile, subservient, gynocratic, gerontocratic, anti-intellectual, uncultured, normalfaggotslavecattle people to ever exist—worse than the British, worse than the Canadians. This continent is as close as humanity has ever come to producing the Last Man.
