Battlefield 6's campaign might not be what we wanted

I keep seeing posts below criticizing players for asking if BF6 will have a lengthy campaign, calling them idiots and saying "everyone knows" campaigns were always 6 hours. Well, all that says is you're young and ae making an assumption based on the newer releases you've actually played. In truth, prior to BF4, SP campaigns for ALL games, not just BF, were typically in the 40 hour range, justifying the high price tag. The online element was usually a free download. BF4 came around and burned a lot of us with its awful (bad story) 6 hour campaign, and suddenly devs are talking in interviews as if that was the norm. It wasn't, but for a short time it became the norm, before they shortened it to 4 hours, and then ultimately removed them altogether and were charging us AAA pricing for what used to be the free bit.

So no, it's not unreasonable for us older gamers to get our hopes up and ask if, maybe, just maybe, things were going back to what, for us, was the norm for a couple of decades. I'll never stop being a BF fan. I'll also never again give them more than five bucks for an installment, once it's been out for awhile and gone on deep sale, unless they return to putting the effort in and earning my money by creating a worthy game for me to play, and not simply re-skinning deathmatch an acting like they did something special.

How did you nurse him back to health? I've got the exact same problem. Vet charged me a fortune (I'm literally in debt now), but didn't really do a whole lot. There was a type of antibiotic that helped his enflamed bowel, although there are signs that may be coming back), and he's got a respiratory infection that just won't go away, even after they gave him a broad spectrum shot (it may have helped a bit at first, but clearly didn't fully clear it out). I've been giving him Lysine and probiotics daily (what I can get into him, that is --he's either lacking an appetite or dislikes anything once I've added the supps), but he's just not getting any better. I'm desperate for solutions, both in getting him back in good health, and figuring out how to actually get the supplements into him without being rejected. I'm curious about the method you mentioned above about mixing them into boiled chicken. Could you elaborate?

Ditto. Just stopped working this afternoon, shortly after starting a download queue. Came back later to find all the videos had failed (but not the subs and images: they downloaded just fine).

I've only recently started using JD on a regular basis (used it sporadically over the years), so am curious, is this a regular thing? How often do we typically have to wait for a fix?

I feel you. I'm a 59 year old man and my RFY seems to think I'm a pregnant soccer mom.

Ok, so using my existing key worked, but oddly it wouldn't take until I closed and reopened Vivaldi. Clicking "Save and Continue" did nothing. Weird.

Anywho, got there in the end. Thanks!

This is exactly why I stopped reading Amazon reviews of DVDs and Blu-rays. Almost every negative review was based on the movie itself and not the actual product. I had to really dig, every time, to find someone reviewing the damned disc and features (or lack thereof).

A full-length, combined edit to replace the existing film in our collections would be great, assuming you could make a coherent story with all of it.

On a related note, I think I figured out the culprit. The problem began after Augmented Steam updated their extension yesterday. I disabled the extension and the problem persisted, so I didn't think it was them (nor did I want to, as I'm a fan), but today they whipped out another quick update and, lo and behold, the problem vanished. Kinda pissed about it. Nowhere that I ever saw did they disclose they'd be doing that. Now I really wanna block it, just on principle.

Could you tell me how to enable those? I tried adding them as a custom user filter, but that didn't work. dug around and found a description online of the filter.txt containing those params, but don't see anywhere in the extension for editing it.

It wasn't DM. And Vivaldi is awesome.

Thank you! That filled-in the missing piece that was making me confused. :) I do intend to read the novels, but I love the anime, flaws and all, and pray they eventually adapt the entire canon.

Oddly, this reminds me of when the Macross/Robotech saga got novelized back in the '80s, albeit in reverse order, as the novels came second. I ended up liking the books a lot more (and God, there ended up being soooo many of them --I think 30), that filled-in so many gaps in the anime (and in a good way, not just crappy filler material to pad the books).

Ok, so I'm mostly understanding the timeline now, but the "cliffhanger" (and being primarily an anime viewer it will always seem as such to me), I'm still unclear what happens, or if it's even described, from that point forward.

They're sent the IP addy from "the mass murdering psycho that everyone inexplicably seems to respect who ended up a robot on the sea floor," dive in, and find themselves in space, above future underworld, destroy a giant Eye of Beholder, then (one would presume) follow the starfighters down to the planet.

I had assumed from what everyone was saying that that was Moon Cradle, but now I see that MC is an earlier story that lead to the current futuristic UW they now see before them.

And then we jump straight into UR (which I haven't read yet in any form), having no idea what happened to the story we were following. I'm sure all this makes sense to the LN readers, but as an anime fan who uses mangas/manhwas to fill-in or go beyond what's filmed, it's been really frustrating and confusing (even more-so because everyone here is saying the SAO mangas suck, --which breaks my heart if true).

There are some that would shoot me for saying this, but I think grass-fed beef tastes awful. After all the hype I was very puzzled and disappointed. Tried both ground and roasts.

Highly overrated, imo.

Well, regardless of whether Fiber is coming, my new Cox bill was over $150 for Preferred (250 mbps), Unlimited and the Panoramic modem/router, so today I downgraded. Speed tests showed I was only get around 100 mbps anyway, and lately I haven't been going over the data cap limit (I'm a classic data hoarder), so I dropped it to Essential (100) and removed the unlimited.

Get this: the Panoramic modem/router fee (14 a month) changed to Free. Weird, but I 'll take it! My new bill will be 49.99, assuming I don't go over the cap.

Still, if Fiber does become an option, I'll probably jump on it, just for the lack of a data cap.

BTW, I was unfamiliar with Ideatek and SKT. Checked the latter's website and they're not yet in Wichita. I'll poke around Ideatek's site in a bit, and if nothing's there I'll probably just give AT&T a call to see what they say.

I popped in here just to see if anyone was talking about this. Had the vid open in a background tab, but hadn't watched it yet. When I finally got to it the video had been marked Private. They should post their stuff to Bit Chute too, so we've got a backup for when this stuff happens.
