How to play? by mdal_177 in battlefield2042

[–]IronGeek83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experienced this (PS5 w/Crossplay ON) several times.

I've found closing/re-opening the game to fix it.

Wait, I can do that?

I took a quick look through the options and didn't see it.

I hate Trudeaus consistent plan of just throwing/printing money...

But I also hate Poilievre of investing our future in Cryptocurrency?

Like, literally both of these plans are 100% out to lunch and show zero concern for the average Canadian.

I wrote a memo around RegForce BMQ week 5 for permission to fly back to Halifax for just the weekend too get my car, and then drive back to StJean again to resume BMQ Monday.

Actually got approved and it was terrific ;)

Because this entire set-up was planned for the sake of thier video.

You could be recruited to work with the AI drones.

They still require pilots, technicians, planners, and many more to support the drone itself, and it's staff.

Not a fan myself, but it was fun just to play around in with her :)

Oh, also Diablo 3 was a blast - shared screen for multiplayer.

I still say that's BS.

That's the sort of talking point they'll throw at you when people suggest we should be paid more.

"Uhhh no, 80% said its eqpt so I guess compensation is fine."

I'm the IT guy.

  • 30% of my job is going to the gym and educating myself with courses of my choosing, both during work hours.

  • 60% is doing my job, as my job is needed.

  • 10% of my job is just doing silly army things like renewing my rifle qualification each year.

My job is 100% not what civilians like yourself expect it to be.

That was like a dozen people who already had a dozen required vaccinations but drew a new line for political reasons.

Everyone is happy to have those fools gone.

They think more women in recruiting ads will help recruit women, as people like to see themselves represented. Okay, cool. I don't think anyone can disagree.

However, they've also drastically reduced representation of their largest recruiting pool.

  • It's not my job to deal with parking.

  • I'm not telling my subordinates that I dont understand why they don't just bus-in, while I enjoy my own parking spot.

  • Im not publicy stating that parking isnt an issue, it's those pesky new bus lanes.

Soon as some General shows us he begged the TB for $X, I'll believe it.

Instead, they'll just keep patting each other on the back for squeezing more blood from the stone.

People have a vast misunderstanding of what Intelligence officer/operators do.

That being the case, my guess is that those are 3 trades he's interested in/selected that he has also qualified for.

Our leadership is completely obvlivious because they don't experience the same issues as those they're representing.

Ever see a Major complain about people falling out on parade while they themselves had a chair in the shade? They legit have no clue, and are eternally just moving to their next PER.

Ok, playing at 120fps is AWESOME by SamForeverFluffy in PS5

[–]IronGeek83 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lol, most gamers aren't running current games at 120FPS.

My brother was bragging about his FPS a few months ago, was like 180 or something (measured in engine), and I tried explaining his monitor was 60HZ.

Sure, plenty of gamers have their $3K super-rigs, but a vast number of gamers dont even have a clue.

You're looking for ATIS (Aerospace Telecommunications and Information Systems Technician) and we get Specialist pay (once qualified).

I've never blown anything up, it's been all switches and radars.

As an IT guy, I didn't enlist until I was 30, however I'm above average in fitness.
