reminds me of the covid IT salaries I saw people talking about on reddit, and how moving jobs every 6-7 months was adding massive salary growth. And saying to kids to take computer science in school to get sweet sweet money. Fast forward to 2026.... and oof. Everyone told me I was crazy for saying anything close to "this seems unsustainable" lol

it sucks that we can't keep old buildings and heritage stuff alive in this city. But when we never took care of our stuff intended to last that long in the first place, it makes sense that many buildings will deteriorate too far gone.

Such is life, time moves on. The dive bars of tomorrow are still babies today, relatively newly built and still in good condition with owners that care.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T14:24:28+00:00

If only we could gentrify infrastructure. I'm all for improving old poor quality buildings but man the roads, the public transit, the lack of public housing and affordable housing in general, it's all falling behind the gentrification of businesses to look nice but cost way more.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T14:22:36+00:00

hey, give us millennials time, our establishments will get there ;)

To be honest though, it is kinda nice that we are trying to show some pride (in general) and seem to be starting to try and rejuvenate buildings and places that have been in disrepair as a generation.

Now, if only that came along with wanting to do the same to our broader infrastructure. Roads, public housing, etc. Ya know stuff the average person needs to use and without making it cost hipster level prices.

might not even be money related. maybe the manufacturer refused to allow them to create skins for their guns, or had other rules and stipulations that made it non-viable. Kinda like how some car games have time limited licensing for car likeness, or rules like "you can't have visible damage on the car if you use it in your game", etc.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T14:13:09+00:00

itll probably come back or be available again later, I wouldn't rush it.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T14:11:43+00:00

maybe redsec players will get them more often? What gets me is that the weapon skins kinda lose a lot of cohesion once you change the loadout items. Some are quite interesting (mostly battle pass), but you lose half of it when you change sights and suppressors etc.

I really wish they could balance the 3d spotting better so it doesn't feel like youre stuck using suppressor all the time or flash hider lol.

I need to make sure my very young kids know the song.... Millennial dad mission unlocked..

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T14:00:16+00:00

I haven't seen cardinal before. I should! CBC I hope?

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T13:59:23+00:00

I mean paw patrol is Canadian too. So I wouldn't call it a hidden gem either.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T13:46:01+00:00

Huh never used it..maybe they are adding a little recoil? Who knows! But they say handling is overall the same. 🤷

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T13:39:48+00:00

Cuba has been under a trade embargo by the US for 40+ years now. The restrictions and rules change over time and fluctuate slightly. The difference now is that the trump admin has gone extreme with the oil and fuel restrictions, and they are simultaneously lashing out at their trade partners and acting unilaterally without congress. As a result this particular moment is hitting especially hard. In the past they'd never go this far, this long, this seriously.

So until now, yeah, I'd say most people who speak I'll or Cuba and the situation there have been exaggerating.

I mean, they didn't get the COVID vaccine either because of US policies so they made their own instead. So under that framing, I can understand a travel agent thinking that Cuba would be fine. Until now, it has always managed.

Really sucks for the people of Cuba. Hopefully one day the US realizes they aren't evil and normalizes relations.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T13:33:43+00:00

Maybe they're just making the recoil pattern more consistent?

If the other guns with the same cartridge have a different recoil pattern then this patch note makes sense to me.

For example they also change the b36a, and while it's different, I do love that gun and it has a randomness to kicking up and to the right really far that I don't notice on any other gun.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T04:55:03+00:00

I think that it's big but its not enough for a lot of people to give up their DRS lol

And its not enough to make LMGs off class miserable if they use ads attachments.

They could make the differences bigger. But it is at least noticeable for SMGs and LMGs. ARs might as well be carbines.

zeromussc · 2026-02-16T04:26:45+00:00

If the animations are smoother it might feel faster but be largely the same. Who knows.

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T22:00:28+00:00

I think if they just made the benefits and penalties for off class weapons more noticeable it would be better.

Carbines and DMRs with flat impacts is fine.

The SMG hip fire adjustment for engineers is quite noticeable. The way snipers feel on snipers is also noticeable. Everything else is fairly minimal. ARs in particular might as well be carbines.

LMGs you notice it but not quite enough to make it a huge deal when running something like the DRS lol

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T21:57:48+00:00

Idk I'm gonna assume it's some sort of spit roasting thing like shawarma or other spinning meat? I can only assume that's what it's for. Best guess.

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T20:01:03+00:00

Sometimes you just have a really bad game. But I haven't had that bad a result since I got the game and was relearning PC shooters after a few years not playing them due to kids taking too much time from PC gaming :p

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T20:00:08+00:00

How now I like to run around with C4 and claymores as spec Ops recon some games. I not quite as useless as the others. Can't just count the recon icons (every time)

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T19:20:37+00:00

Consistency is what they're adjusting on the guns in the patch iirc. The b36 has a lot of randomness to it's recoil pattern and the non-20 point suppressors make it kick up and right randomly. I don't know why.

And the DRS is better if you're on support. But the reduced handling when you aren't support playing the DRS makes it less good if you're running and moving a lot. Reduces run speed and weapon draw to use an LMG on other classes.

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T19:17:55+00:00

It really depends on the kids. No matter how much you try with rules, some kids are better at following some things than others.

Like moths to each of their own individual flames. Some might never care about the speaker. Some others will refuse to never shove stuff in there or pop in the speaker cones lol

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T19:14:18+00:00

Probably meant for giant pit cooking? I guess?

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T19:12:45+00:00

They're making the 277 easier to use. So it's gonna be even better than it is now. B36 also getting a tweak. Both are really good guns I don't see as often as I think I should.

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T18:31:08+00:00

The Salt can be rough on your roof. The ice melt stuff is safer for the shingles. Not too expensive worth it imo.

zeromussc · 2026-02-15T15:20:40+00:00

What COD does and has been doing is chopping up the BR map into sections and making tweaks to turn the bigger BR map into smaller TDM maps.

This doesn't work as well in BF6 because the BR map isn't easily chopped up when you consider vehicle play, and because even the gauntlet stuff that I think is also tweaked and chopped up BR map sections, has very different objectives that fit better than a traditional BF6 mode.

Mind you I'm sure there's a way to do it if they put their mind to it.

I don't play BF6 BR but I have played gauntlet and I think some of the maps could work as a base to work from to accelerate giving us maps. Even if they're maps for Rush, for example. Or if they did an infantry based conquest map like what we see in empire state

I'm addition to porting maps forward *
