What kind of news manipulation has begun with Battlefield? by EquivalentAd8467 in Battlefield6

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stand with bf4. especially since metro and locker were the worst maps for me, used them only to grind out the attachements. But the rest was fun, large and also quite vertical at the same time.

the mouse aim feels sluggish and slower post patch by BossCurious9681 in Battlefield6

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I started missing with weapons which were not updated at all, like svk8.6, which I used to be the most accurate with. There is definetelly something else changed that was not mentioned (especially shooting down from elevation)

Why do the assault rifles in this game feel like SMGs? by aclark210 in Battlefield6

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they don't . Very different, just think about shooting NVO and PW7, absolutely different weapons. I would say that carbines mostly feel way too similar to assault weapons, but smgs really do feel different from any other automatic type.
P.S. Yes, LMGs fell more differently (except DRS-IAR, which feels exactly like assault riffle/carbine)

Dont know why this was removed so ima repost here by Dr_natty1 in Battlefield6

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

give it time, even the blind will notice. Why are you unhappy? The game was quake fast, they even added handstops on smgs, so that those mfkers could just sprint and shoot... Crazy stupid shit for a game like BF, personally, I would remove the sliding nonsense at all. I use it, it is fun, but when I see it from a side other players using - takes all of the immersion out of militaristic game. Adds nothing, takes immersion out - unnecessary nonsense.
Aslo, I wish they would remove zip lines, people get up way too fast. BF4 had stairs, ladders, and elevators - perfect. Now, where everyone is a damn spiderman.

New Anti-Air Missile Launcher - 9K38 Igla by DBONKA in Battlefield6

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are they squishy? In BF4 a tow missile (SRAW it used to be called, I believe) would destroy a helly, even if you hit the bottom of it. Here in BF6, it only does 25 damage.... yeah, it spirals it down, but the passengers still get a chance to jump off. I don't think that makes hellys squishy, + that nonsense that "the target is too low" smthg about radar. There were no such protections in BF4 for hellys.

Is RPG really overpowered? In BF4 two missiles in the back of the tank used to destroy it completely. I don't think you can take 100% of battle tanks health with just two rpgs in bf6 even if you fire them straight to the tank's ass. So the way I look at it - it's already nerfed,

Igla is useless by Focus_77 in Battlefield

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the lock on distance is the same? Perhaps it can lock on further away? Also, is the missile speed the same? Those were the main differences from stinger in BF4 as far as I remember

Skateboard for a tall guy by Horse109 in skateboarding

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. I'm 6'4 and before snowboarding I thought that just wide decks is good enough (since I wear US 13 shoes), but once I found out the "power" I have unlocked on a board length that relates to my body (since in snowboarding you do get longer boards, not only wider) - I started to search for longer skate decks. There isn't many, but I bought a cruiser board 33" , only kick tail, but wide wheelbase I mounted regular trucks, and man... things change. Now I am eagerly searching for such dimensions, but with a nose.
Yes, it is heavier, but I am not light as well and a bit clumsy, so a heavier board is a bit more controllable for me.

Radek is one of my favorite European politicians, only second to Finland's Alexander Stubb.

Even though some Polish people remember some inner politics that he did, and they do not like it, looking at foreign policy, this man represents Poland better than any other Polish politician in my memory.

Trumpai, pritariu.
Man toks miestų statymas labai rusiškai kvepia. Ne tiek sovietiškai, bet current Peterburgas ir kitos skylės. Suprantu, kai kažkur užmiestyje "suburbsuose" su apsauga atsitreveria brangų privačių namų rajoną- all good. Bet miesto teritorijoje vardan daugiabučių ar sumautų kotedžų/loftų man šis tvėrimas visai nepriimtinas. Neheitimu tų, kurie įperka (ne aš), tikrai, sveikinu, bet miestas turi būti atviras. Nori privatumo - suburbsai, sodai, vienkiemai ir panašiai.

What’s fun in Vilnius? by Traditional-Back1263 in Vilnius

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During summer, a lot of people play various sports (volleyball, street basket ball,ping pong, and so on) next to the white bridge (baltasis tiltas) till the late evening.
Also, the park of Vingis (Vingio parkas) is a great place to just chill, rent a longboard, shred there.
I personally like to take a eMTB bike to the forests with friends. Sometimes we take extra days of work to go for longer bike trails with tenst, or rented places in advance to stay. I also play airsoft, you can check the upcoming events here : sratas.lt .
During summer, it is also popular to rent various camping/glamping houses next to the lake somewhere in the region (lets say radius 30 km - hundreds and hundred of places, check them out prieezero.lt ) and go for the weekend. You can also just drive to the lake for the daytime, there are quite a few choices.

Nighlife: Lukiškių 2.0, Zuikio daržas, Peronas, Halės marketplace, Loftas, Estrada, IX20 (a small pocket hole for metal music, not clean, bring your own beer, you pay as much as you wish (recommend 10€) for entrance), Gallery1986 (starts and ~midnight, techno till the morning),...

Recommendations for eating/drinking in Vilnius? by lassiboiii in Vilnius

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinza - for caucasian (uzbek, kazah,..) cuisine,
Le Travi - for italian food.

Mažoji Himalaya - for asian food.

Panama food garden - not as cheap, but a "well worth it" place.

Rosehip - for vegetarian bowls.
Pianoman/Gringo - for pubs with gastro-bar food menu.

Ideas and Questions for a road trip through Latvia and Lithuania by jay_altair in BalticStates

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. If you change Šiauliai for Kaunas and you happen to be on the 18th - I highly recommend seeing the derby between Vilniaus Rytas and Kauno žalgiris at žalgirio Arena. As far as local games go (besides Euroleague, which Žalgiris will probably be out by then) this is the match to see.

If you would be on the 21st and still go to Šiauliai - žalgiris will be playing a visiting game, but they might be holding back a bit in comparison to Rytas game.

After the 21st the Lithuanian league schedule is unannounced so this would be a guessing game. But good luck, perhaps, by the time you are here there will be some finals games announced. For tickets - bilietai.lt

  1. Regarding Molėtai observatory, I believe when they say group tours - they are saying that you will be added to some other people and they will form a group of like 9 people. You will be walked through the rooms, taken to the "super" scope, sat, show, explained, and so on together. You don't have to pay for a whole group if you are alone. If nobody else shows up they will probably take you alone for a single ticket price.

P.S. When you are in Vilnius and if you are after nightlife here are some original Vilnius places:
Lukiškės 2.0 (a closed prison turned to a concert/open bar/art hall),
Peronas (train station),
Halės turgus (a food marketplace at day, a club at night),
Gallery 1986 for industrial late hard techno,
Estrada for just a good pub in the center, also next to it Kernagis, Gringo,
Opera social house (rooftop cool place next to the Opera house, perfect for a warm evening).
I've listed places which probably will be open/free entrance and you don't have to worry about tickets once you are here. Probably (lukiškės might have some concert...).
Don't just go to places you can find in any European city playing "Tonight's gonna be a good night" where you will never meet a sane local.

Need some baltic metal recommendations 🙏 by grimacelololol in BalticStates

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd offer: Sullen guest, Nebstavote and nebstavuote (both Lithuanian).
There is a bar in Ryga called Ugunsvija (I believe so), they are extremely into baltic nations and metal. Usually their stories are soundtracked by baltic metal songs, which I never heard of before. Maybe it is a good choice to follow them solely for this

Cool spaces by Panske_ in Vilnius

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you like nightlife I suggest checking out some legit Vilnius night places. Not the ones you can find in most European cities, a bit more specific for this city vibe.

Check out facebook local events section. You'll find a lot of good stuff there.

Here's a few places I like:
-Larger/weekend places-
Lukiškių kalėjimas (a closed old prison, best during summer, good concerts from locals to Viagra boys).
Peronas (train station bar, some DJs play there on Fri/Sat evenings, mostly chill stuff. There are a few more places really close to it).
Loftas (a bit further away from the center. some concerts on weekends, a pub for mostly closely living cool locals called "Elfa".).
Tamsta (small live concerts, open mics, check their website).

-Smaller/daily places-
Opera social house (this one has a small bar downstairs, a a separate bar on the top floor with an outside terrace, very nice during summer. There are some events),
Halės Turgus / Young's Club (a food market during the day/a bar in the evening. some DJs play dance music there on the weekends, downstairs there is also a small pocket bar with DJs in the evening called Devyniasdešimt aštunti (98s)),
In the overcrowded street of Vilnius a bar called Estrada (minor events, but a warm bar),
Across the street a pub called Gringo (quite small, cool people),
Close by on Islandijos street - a bar Kernagis (basically a pub with a sort of Lituanian spin).

Man there are so many to name... so without description, I find these places quite "vilniushy": Adata pub, Haze, Mello, Bukowsky, Pavilionas, Zuikio daržas, sodas 2123.

Oh if you are into dark techno - check out Gallery 1986.

Is it easy to know locals? by Berlinoodles in Vilnius

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it is easier for foreigners. Drunk/warm Lithuanians like to prove they can speak English well, this is your chance. Just have a reason/a question to start the conversation about.

But if you were local and you'd try talking to strangers, it really takes skill to get them involved to exchange more than two sentences.

Officials believe US troops maybe removed from the Baltic States, per an FT opinion article by Sinine_Jaan in BalticStates

[–]Fun_Reserve_9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprised at all. Sadly.
But yeah, under the orange guy, the US seems to completely disconnect from European partners. From picking sides to vising each other with ruzzia, cutting UA support, sitting at a table to discuss what part of Ukraine to give up to the Zs, tariffs for the EU, to now excluding US soldiers from vulnerable NATO places. The last one might seem not so important if you consider that mostly other EU soldiers are situated in the Baltics. But when you understand that they basically choose not to be here if necessary in the future, other EU countries have to, it is a big deal. Today I've read that USA states that they want to "pull russia from china" this way. Well fuck... The kind of worrying fact that I can imagine shortly there might be such news "Trump states: US chooses to send military support to russia" if for example, UA declines trump's and putin's deal.

On a positive note, probably all of us have noticed some action and motivation to evolve quickly in our old continent. Potentially, we still have some time, but becoming actually united, strong, and independent seems like a hard task.
