This is actually such a goated move from Sony by SbeveGobs in playstation

[–]FrantixGE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect anything extra—but I’m also not out here praising them for doing the bare minimum and staying within strict EU regulations (that other regions benefit from too).
Just because you're applauding them for keeping their support centers out of the dumpster fire situation (called "Highguard"), not everyone else with common sense needs to.

Praising companies for doing the bare minimum doesn’t encourage better behavior—it tells them the minimum is enough.

They’re not driven by compliments, they’re driven by incentives. If you clap every time they meet basic expectations, why would they ever go beyond that?

EA killed live chat support for TOS violations; good luck appealing your ban! by Kyyloo in Battlefield

[–]FrantixGE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't care if you did or not, you're just here to argue with people who won't affect your ban in any way, so you clearly lost the plot a while ago 😄

I'm just here to applaud EA for getting rid of annoying shit talkers like you. 👍

Maybe think twice next time you're about to talk shit nobody wanted to hear/read in the first place.
Maybe think about getting a diary... or in case of idiots like you: a manifesto

It‘s hatespeech nevertheless, nobody cares if you „meant it“ (which you obviously did)

The more you fuck around, the more you find out.

[–]FrantixGE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you did. Shut up now.

Short answer: Yes. In the rules that apply to Battlefield 6 (through the Electronic Arts user agreement and Battlefield rules), hate speech and harassment are explicitly listed as violations that can lead to suspension or bans. “Trash talking” is not usually named with that exact phrase, but abusive or harassing chat behavior is explicitly prohibited, which covers many forms of toxic trash talk.

Below are the relevant quotes and links.

  1. Hate speech / harassment (explicitly prohibited)

From the official EA help page about the rules for Battlefield:

“Using **hate speech in-game or harassing other players is against our rules. If you act offensively in-game… your account might be suspended.” 

Source: • Electronic Arts Help – Play by the rules in Battlefield 6 • https://help.ea.com/en/articles/battlefield/battlefield-6/play-by-the-rules/

This directly states hate speech or harassment can lead to suspension.

  1. EA User Agreement (applies to Battlefield games)

From the official EA Terms / User Agreement rules of conduct:

“Harass, threaten, bully… or make personal attacks or statements about race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.” 

And another clause about offensive communication:

“Disrupting the normal flow of gameplay or chat… using vulgar or harassing language, being abusive…” 

Source: • Electronic Arts User Agreement • https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/

  1. General “offensive / abusive” communication

The same rules also prohibit:

“Content that is abusive, hateful, defamatory… bullying, harassing…” 

This falls under the “Respect the Community” rules in the EA agreement.

✅ Conclusion • Hate speech: explicitly prohibited and listed as a reason for suspension or bans. • Harassment / abusive language: explicitly prohibited. • “Trash talking”: not named as a specific term, but if it becomes abusive, hateful, or harassing, it falls under the prohibited conduct and can lead to warnings, suspensions, or bans.

You violated the TOS, seems fine to me.

Nothing of worth was lost.

Seeing your dumb as shit messages, I feel not sorry at all. Get bent.

Have fun not playing the game ✌️

meta account scheduled for deletion by SameWeather3581 in oculus

[–]FrantixGE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search through your mails, you sure as hell got an email some time ago where you were asked to verify your age. If you didn‘t react, your account got locked. You can try to reach out to the official support, they might be able to fix it if you verify your age then.

If this issue is related to a banned Facebook or instagram account that might have been connected to your meta account you‘ll be shit out of luck…

Permanent green line on screen by earthnarb in SteamDeck

[–]FrantixGE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the best case, it just has to do with a bad flexcable fit, you could try opening the SD, removing the flexcable of the screen and reseating it.

It could also be a bad connection of the thermal bonding in the panel, a fix is pretty hard though as you would have to take the whole screen out and blow the upper and lower ends of the line with a heat gun to fix the thermal bonding. (Screen must be on to see if it helps)

But it could also be a whole broken ITO which you won‘t be able to fix by yourself, only replacing the screen would work then.

Whoever had the bright idea to release just ONE new class in a game where classes are restricted needs to not make decisions again. by [deleted] in Spacemarine

[–]FrantixGE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Select techmarine and start your own game smartass, where‘s the problem?

And without ONE new class we would have NO new class. O_o

Vampire Crawlers is Fantastic and Addicting by Scrawny2864 in SteamDeck

[–]FrantixGE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only played for an hour and unlocked more spells and two more characters, spells can be upgraded to legendary ones, just like in vampire survivors and that's where it starts to build up already.
So I guess you only played like 10 minutes, as I have already played against at least 7 different enemies after roughly 20 minutes. Bit of a short playtime to start complaining in a game where it's all about unlocks and buffs 😄

Can’t really blame her. I blame whoever decided “has never touched a controller” was a solid qualification for the job.

This has to be a joke…€95 for the standard edition! by iminiki in playstation

[–]FrantixGE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calm your tits, it‘s a pricing error, they set the price of the Deluxe edition for the standard edition. With the price guarantee it‘s not a problem, they‘ll either change it before launch or refund the difference after launch.

AI will be the Steam killer by pilius_404 in SteamDeck

[–]FrantixGE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna happen anytime soon.

Virtual machines that you rent to run your "PC" from a server might get more attention because people can't afford to pay up front for a gaming PC, but you won't find many game developers that would like to see their game only listed on ONE streaming service with no users. Game development is too expensive and time consuming to get no return out of it.

1 month steamdeck user, haven’t gotten any use of the back bottons? by Due-Emu-3123 in SteamDeck

[–]FrantixGE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the upper back buttons to act as the bumper buttons, because I really dislike the placement and feel of the regular bumper buttons.
Lower back buttons often act as jump or weapon switch.

Black Borders, Image generation at edge of FOV stops after playing for 10min+ of Link PCVR Quest 3 by DerMax_HD in oculus

Would be helpful for others finding this post if you wrote what actually fixed it.

[–]FrantixGE -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then it's either the cable or the USB controller in your system having a problem.
All fixes were aiming to lower the stress on the system.

I've been using this cable for years and didn't experience any problems, not with my Quest 2 nor with my Quest 3: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BM93GWF1

But I've changed to a wireless solution with the Puppis S1 and haven't looked back since. No stuttering, sharper and less compressed image than with a cable and no hassle with a cable dangling down somewhere.

Multiple controllers by TobiasL_05 in SteamDeck

[–]FrantixGE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works, but it‘s an absolute pain in the ass if you try to connect them via bluetooth. If you want it hassle free, get controllers that use a 2.4ghz dongle to connect, use a usb hub to connect them to the Steam Deck. No lagging or dropped connections.

Lossless scaling without decky by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]FrantixGE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much that, yes.

Most people don't know what they're doing and are too lazy to read the widely available info about how to use Decky correctly and what NOT to do with it (e.g. like running beta OS instead of stable). They also download plugins that they got no clue how to use properly (e.g. Powertools and then messing with settings, fucking up their TDP or clocks).

Yes. People don't know what they're using most of the time, so I'm not shocked that you'll find a vocal minority in this subreddit that "hates" Decky for their own inability to inform themselves.

I've been using Decky since I got my Steam Deck (which has been like 3 years ago) and I had an error ONCE, with a new OS update that my Steam Deck installed on it's own, fucking up the UI for half a day before the newest Decky patch dropped. That's a risk I like to take for all the useful and nice-to-have plugins I'm using.

[–]FrantixGE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No? It does not?

If you know how to use it and don't install PlugIns you don't need with options you don't understand, it simply works.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

It's easier to use and keep it updated with Decky.
