  • Yes. In highschool (Australia) I took Modern History in years 11-12, which was taught by a teacher who really cared about the subject. With a subject like that of course media literacy, arguments, hypothesis’s, source accuracy, claims, bias, and everything related to research skills was relevant. It was essentially a practice run for any political science course you would take at university, as the class revolved around submitting one big assessment item each term which was thoroughly researched. I chose the easy route every time and just wrote essays, but if you were the creative type you could make something else to showcase understanding.

    During one semester we did a small trip to a university campus in the city so we could gather resources for one of our projects while not hitting any paywalls.

    Of course being an elective senior subject in rural Queensland it was only about 15 of us in my class, where my cohort at large was 100 students in total (once people dropped out in Year 10).







  • I have a pair of Phillips Fidelio X2HR for my PC where I listen to most things; an unexpected brand compared to the likes of Sony or Sennheiser. I’m considering an upgrade to a close-backed pair of headphones since I don’t live alone and my PC space is nearby to the kitchen, so I would like to block sound out.

    In the gym out back I use a Google Mini. Living where I am now I haven’t needed earbuds for public transport so I don’t have any. I will eventually buy a pair for when I go camping and want to watch something on my phone.




  • Since I’m limited to one hand (I fractured my elbow), I’ve been going back to my strategy game catalogue. At first I started with Endless Legend, which I’ve got over 100 hours in, but I wasn’t vibing with it. The backlog game I had on the side, Age of Wonders Planetfall, became my main game. I’m still trying to get into it, but it just feels too cluttered for it’s own good. I don’t think I want to give up on it but alongside that I began playing Endless Space 2 which is really cool! Even with experience in the Endless series it still feels a bit complicated, it’s not as insane as Stellaris, but I have a good feeling about it now.
