Looking for the new “NBA Superstars” arcade machine in Sydney (Raw Thrills 4-player cabinet)

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to track down the exact locations of the NBA Superstars arcade game (the massive 75 inch, 4-player cabinet by Raw Thrills with the classic NBA Jam style gameplay).

It used to be at Kingpin Macarthur Square, but it has since been rotated out. Head office confirmed that TEEG (Timezone, Kingpin, Zone Bowling) hold the units in Sydney, but their hotline couldn’t check the live database for me.

Has anyone spotted this machine on the floor at any other Timezone, Kingpin, or Zone Bowling in Sydney recently? (Thinking it might be at the brand new Bankstown location, Haymarket, or North Strathfield).

Appreciate any sightings! Thanks!

Comet shooting across sky

Saw this while having a camp fire, probably space junk!

Sydney records hottest June since 1859 as expert warns new high a ‘signature’ of global warming.

Bureau of Meteorology says city’s mean temperature reached 16.1C, surpassing the previous record of 15.7C set in 1991.

EDIT: Just read this piece "Warmest June in the world's northernmost settlement

With the melting Kongsbreen glacier visible on the horizon, Ny-Ålesund at 79° North recorded a mean monthly temperature of 5.7°C. This is the second time in five years that the average June temperature in Ny-Ålesund has reached 5.7°C. The previous occurrence was in 2022."

"While temperatures across the Arctic are rising approximately two to four times faster than the global average, the Barents Sea region is warming at an even more dramatic rate—up to seven times faster than the global average."

Town Hall Fenced Off All Day?

Anyone know the reason. I know there was a protest this morning but the whole perimeter has been fenced all day.

It's r/Sydney's 18th cakeday, and you're invited! Saturday 1st August!

There was once a man named Andrew

Who, using his hands threw

Up a subreddit

Before he faced discredit

And for its birthday, we're having a do.

...yeah, I'm not much of a poet, but it tells the story well enough.

On 31^st July 2008, r/Sydney was created, which means its 18^th birthday is coming up right at the end of the month. To celebrate the subreddit finally becoming old enough to have a beer, come to the City and have a beer with us!

When: Saturday, 1^st August, kicking off at 4pm. Four weeks exactly from time of posting.

Where: The Edinburgh Castle Hotel, corner of Pitt and Bathurst Streets.

Why there? They do $15 Espresso Martinis, Negronis, Margaritas, and Aperol Spritzes all night. I also think they do pints for schooner prices while the footy's on.

What do I bring? Good vibes, the pub has everything else.

What's the plan? Have a few drinks, socialise. These are always great fun.

How do I get there? Closest stations are Town Hall and Gadigal, buses run from Park and Elizabeth Streets, Town Hall LR is also close by, as you'd expect.

It's been a little while since the last non-NYE meetup, would be great to see you all there!
