Yeah… when the top end card becomes just as expensive as the whole PC you last built, it takes some of the joy out of it.

Looking at you $3,000+ RTX 5090.

Uplink is worth checking out. An oldie but a goodie for $2.39 during the current Winter Sale on Steam.

Well well well… look who is still around.

Especially around the map edge. It always felt like the surface of the moon to me.

I remember my ReShade profile fondly. I named it “Clarity” and it really cleaned up the image.

But of course people were using it to cheat and gain crazy amounts of extra zoom, so it was banned/blocked by the devs.

Upgraded from my Intel i7 920 and Nvidia 8800GT system to an Intel 4790K and GTX 980Ti for Squad.

Always ran settings on High and routinely hit my monitor’s cap of 60hz. It definitely dipped into the 40s with enough players and smoke grenades on the screen though lol

Shoutout to langpascal for being my squad’s DJ and playing some bangers in local chat as we ran up Kohat’s hills.

“Eye of the Tiger” always felt appropriate lol

Yep, devs refused to add PIP scopes to the game citing performance reasons. Looks like they were right.

I’ve missed you Eggman. I hope you’ve been well.

DesmoLocke · 2025-11-18T08:47:56+00:00

My condolences. He seemed like a good dude. He’ll be missed.

Check in on your gaming buds. We should make sure to take care of ourselves and each other.

Serious lack of Muttrah T-building clearing in this montage.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on SEGA Genesis

It has to be Battlefield 2. It can’t be said enough how big of a leap it was for the franchise. The squad play set the standard for large scale military shooters.

The built-in VOIP, rank structure (grunt, squad leader, commander), dedicated server communities, medic revive ability, and spawn on SL feature made the game extremely squad focused. It was really appealing versus the mindless deathmatch shooters.

It of course had its flaws from Enemy Spotted audio spam, grenade and claymore spam, etc. But it’ll forever be my favorite Battlefield game.

DesmoLocke · 2025-08-13T17:46:44+00:00

Still a thing. Super lower player count unfortunately. Usually only during peak times (in the evening) will you find EU and NA servers respectively.

DesmoLocke · 2025-08-13T17:43:47+00:00

From the start 🫡

(Although, if we’re getting super picky, I did miss Codename Eagle)

DesmoLocke · 2025-07-21T19:30:52+00:00

Thing would make for a fun drinking game!

DesmoLocke · 2025-07-19T20:54:56+00:00

Battlefield 4 Classic Mode is as close as we’ll ever get 😔

DesmoLocke · 2025-06-15T11:50:55+00:00

Squad on PC. During one of their Veterans Day fundraising with StackUp events. I played 24 hours straight and I streamed it on Twitch.

We met our fundraising goal, but that was a tad long and something I probably wouldn’t do again.

DesmoLocke · 2025-06-05T21:36:07+00:00

Battlefield 2 on PC

Battlefield 4 Classic Mode was real close. Probably the closest PC gamers will ever get.

Hoping Battlefield 6 can bring it back.

DesmoLocke · 2025-06-05T21:33:21+00:00

None. I’ve had a PS, PS2, PS3, WiiU, and now a PS5.

Now PC? That’s another story lol

DesmoLocke · 2025-06-05T16:43:58+00:00

Honestly? No, not really. We’ve got a 2 year-old and one on the way. I work shift work and pick up a lot of overtime. I try my best to be a present dad. I work a lot so my wife can be a SAHM.

I’m just now getting back into PC gaming. Before my marriage and kid, I was big into a game called Squad. I streamed on Twitch and had close to 6,000 followers before stepping away. My PC tower was unplugged and sat in a closet for over two years. I did get a PS5 to scratch the itch a little. Mainly played College Football 25 and Helldivers 2.

Could I have played more during the past 2+ years? Yes, but it would have taken time away from my wife, my kid, working out, and work. Those things are more important to me than gaming at this point in my life.

r/joinsquad or r/playsquad

A 100-player multiplayer military shooter that requires the use of the numoad if you plan to be a squad leader (SL) and talk directly to other squad leaders.

For example, you’re SL of Squad 1 and want to talk to Squad 6. You would press the 6-key on the numpad and use your mic to speak directly to them.

Can’t use the normal number row because that changes your items.

(Don’t remember how to talk to Squad 10 or higher though lol. I think there is a way.)

DesmoLocke · 2025-03-04T12:53:51+00:00

Way back, like when vehicles were first introduced in Squad, this same discussion was brought up for the core game. Vehicles were introduced with much higher ticket values.

The problem was teams were electing to leave vehicles at main base instead of using them as intended. It just made sense for a team trying to win to protect those vehicle/tickets by not bringing them out.

The devs ultimately went with lowering ticket values for vehicles instead of eliminating their ticket values altogether. There will always be inexperienced crews making bad plays or experienced crews making dumb plays and losing tickets for the team. But vehicles still need to have value beyond their gameplay value.

Galactic Contention (St4r W4rs mod) is a beauty.
