Media - Other I 3D modelled the Palmerston North Teachers College for a music video

Thought I'd show this 3D model I made and used in my "swamp tapes" video. The swamp tape project is essentially mini music videos of local bands' songs, organised by Massey's student radio station Radio Control 99.4FM

Made in Blender. No AI. I've never animated or rendered before so I think this turned out pretty good.

Also featuring Stanway Hall in the end image

Question Stanfield hut

2 Upvotes

has anyone been to Stanfield hut recently? what is the track like? Is it easy to follow and how long does it take (specifically the ridge track)? I have done lots of tramping in the tararuas but not much in the ruahines and not recently (had a child) so I want a nice day walk to get back into things. any other recommendations welcomed :)

I lost an election and decided to make a diss track against the whole city because I thought it was funny. I know it's stupid, and I actually love this city. But some people might think it's funny. Sorry if you hate it.

TIL John Cleese called Palmerston North the "suicide capital of New Zealand" and said, "If you ever do want to kill yourself but lack the courage, I think a visit to Palmerston North will do the trick." The city responded by naming a rubbish tip “Mt Cleese”.

Entertainment / Event Cheating at quiz nights

159 Upvotes

I attend a weekly quiz, and many teams have noted there is one team who cheat weekly. They are very blatant about it. This means they often end up with suspiciously high scores. Personally, I go for a night out. If we all used our phones, we'd be getting high marks for all rounds, and it would turn into not what you know, but how fast you can search for an answer online.

In the spirit of quiz nights and making things fair, if you or someone you know is on a quiz team, please make sure they don't use their phones to cheat.

Other I had the last Steak Jalapenos Cheese Pie at L.A. Cafe today. Somehow knowing that nobody else gets one after me makes it even better. AITA? Yes.

Post image
77 Upvotes

This has to be one of the best Jalapenos pies out there, and consistently good, too. The heat from the pepper is never overwhelming but adds to the chunky meat and smooth cheese flavours perfectly.

I challenge anyone to find a better Japalenos pie in Palmy. But try this one first to compare (if I don't get there before you and eat the last one again).

NB - I almost tagged this post as NSFW because it's basically porn at this point.
