I’ve played every Battlefield since 1942. The series does a great job creating large-scale warfare while keeping it action-packed, avoiding the longer lulls found in other milsim games. There’s a degree of intensity to the combat that I don’t really feel in most other FPS titles.

They’re regularly on sale on Steam for $1.99.

Battlefield 4 is coming up on 12 years old and still has a fair amount of active servers. Might just be me getting old but I find the gameplay really holds up. Compared to Battlefield 3, the whole battle pass / premium currency aspect was really souring at the time, but it’s not all that bad now.

For me, each release since then has been increasingly disappointing, though I still played them and had my fun. I was hyped for WWI combat in BF1, but they had to go and put fully automatic weapons with reflex sights in every soldier’s hands. Thought maybe we’d wind up with bolt action only hardcore servers, but that didn’t really pan out. Battlefield V brought things back to WW2 again, but it felt ruined yet again with an overabundance of attachments and letting everyone spawn with any other faction’s weapons. Completely immersion breaking.

The best modern Battlefield game was BattleBit Remastered, which wasn’t even developed by EA/Dice and had very simple Roblox graphics - seems like things aren’t going so good anymore.

If you like Star Wars, the Battlefront games are pretty amusing.

A lot of the Battlefield games have a single player campaign that ranges from generic FPS to actually having some pretty cool mechanics sprinkled in.

In that case, they wouldn’t have found it in Control Panel anyways.

Otherwise, they would have opened Control Panel.

Settings is more accessible to casual users.

No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077:

I’m surprised modders are still releasing their work in a manner where they can be personally identified and forced to comply with a DMCA takedown.

If modding is going to be treated like piracy, move it into pirate networks. Hell, I’d even love to see mods requiring a cracked copy of the game just to send a message.

CMD + Shift + V

…which came out 7 years ago

Curious to see how effective this is and excited to contribute to its efficacy. I own a repair business and it has taken years to develop the means to effectively cross-reference for compatibility, it takes over a year for a new tech to reliably get the swing of things.

You can think of Battlefield as a bit of a middle ground between HLL and COD

I’ve spent a lot of time with Halo 3’s Battle Rifle, it remains a favorite to this day and I was overjoyed when I finally got to combine it with a mouse

This is going to be interesting

The diagnostic software environment I use to test graphics card VRAM only boots in legacy mode. TServer and Memtune are both internal AMD Tools that have leaked. So far, older boards that support Legacy / CSM have been the ideal platform as a test bench for graphics card repair.

Probably going to be quite the shakeup in the graphics card repair community’s toolkit if the updated version of Memtune for 9xxx cards ever leaks.

Predecessor managed to capture the feel of Halo/Destiny gunplay with Portal mixed in

I meant that I was on the beta branch for SteamOS / Decky Loader, thoygh perhaps Junk Store too. I figured it was likely a conflict with another plugin (probably something in CSS Loader) but hadn’t bothered to diagnose which.

I’ll totally be giving it another shot since it seems awesome :)

Seems like I should give Junk-Store another shot I had installed it back when I was on beta branch and it was… funky. It had me sign in to Epic and then the frame / overlay wouldn’t go away, I had to force restart my Deck just to make it usable again.

I tried a few times here and there and ran into the same issue, so it’s just been sitting installed as a spooky button.

That’s what Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Google Workspace Starter, and Proton Mail Essentials are all priced at. Seems like the market price to me

Garry’s Mod

It’s hard to think of any one mod that got remotely close to changing a game the way GMod did for HL2/CS:S/source engine titles. I spent thousands of hours in GMod as a kid, it added infinite teplaya ility to the HL2 campaign, forums like Facepunch and PHWOnline became my second home. There was a ton of content to be loaded from there and FPSBanana, the thriving webcomic scene was truly special.

Absolutely love Shift 2. I feel like it really captured the intensity of Battlefield 3, but transposed to the Racing genre.

Recently revisited it on the Steam Deck and was worried that it wasn’t going to be as good as I remembered, and I’m pleased to say that it has remained every bit as amazing as it was.

Also makes me wonder what the hell simcade games have been doing the last 14 years. Nothing else really matches the sensation of speed and intensity that Shift 2 has. It’s also weird to me that the reactive helmet cam is not a staple in every single racing game.

Man, that really sucks. the art direction in each of the games he worked on was unlike anything else out there. He really brought something special to those projects.
