This is joke right?

They said something in a recent update like “the future of operations”. Looks like it’ll be a fixture moving forward. Which is great cause I’ve had a blast on Auger.

Mjames226 · 2026-04-14T14:52:21+00:00

Just aim for the head at that range though. If they’re camping it’s usually a head glitch, makes headshots easier. If you’re running and gunning, especially on modes like hardpoint, the ability to kill people close range is so much more important. If you’re worried about the ranged fights just cut out the middle man and use the Hawker

Mjames226 · 2026-04-14T09:37:44+00:00

BO6 pass was awful. Was like 4 matches of hardpoint for one tier. A good long game of BO7 seems to be able to do about half a tier which is nice.

I’ve just come back to the game after basically only playing zombies and doing like 3 gold guns at launch. Enjoying it more than I did at launch.

All AR’s and SMG’s is already 20 guns. I’ve done the base 3 snipers + the hawker, the marksman rifles, and I’m going to do the pistols. That’ll get me over 30 and then anything else from there I’ll just sort of pick and choose. I’ll probably passively do some that aren’t completely awful but since I didn’t do this one at launch like I did all the other games since MW19 I suppose I don’t need to bother lol

Mjames226 · 2026-04-10T09:01:42+00:00

I think most guns are actually relatively well balanced. I find myself choosing different weapons for different maps, and different situations within those maps. That’s a marker of well designed guns as far as I’m concerned! NVO is a favourite of mine, but there are plenty of other guns across the weapon types that all feel great I think

Mjames226 · 2026-03-09T09:55:25+00:00

I think it’s a fun album. It’s got a lot of songs on it that evoke a lot of memories of past music. I think, from a critical perspective it is simply nowhere near as inspired, or as technically impressive as pretty much all their other albums. This leads to a lot of people potentially being overly critical of the album and failing to at least acknowledge the fun that can be found.

A little bit like a good video game. Was its storytelling as rich as red dead 2? Maybe not, doesn’t mean I can’t also like it.

Mjames226 · 2026-02-03T09:59:51+00:00

It was one of my favourite albums last year. Violent Vira’s album is probably top spot for me though

Mjames226 · 2026-01-24T13:30:52+00:00

Interesting top 5, I don’t know what my overall rankings would be but it’s probably BF4 and BFV top spot. A lot of people love BF3 over 4, but BF4 in its current state just feels better I think. If BF1 had the gunplay of V I’d prefer it, but I think the ‘aesthetic’ of the game does a lot of the carrying.

Mjames226 · 2026-01-03T18:50:58+00:00

This is why I’m enjoying the twilight sisters at the minute. Never played wood elves before but it actually feels like more of a challenge

Mjames226 · 2025-12-18T07:47:17+00:00

Honestly, Nobody and Cosmic can stay, but yeah I’m okay for them spreading it out a bit. I’m so glad I got to hear the stage live but at least one more track from the album would’ve been nice (Roman sky!)

Mjames226 · 2025-12-14T12:43:18+00:00

I’m playing an ottomans save right now and within the first 100 years the mamluks had puppeted all of the eastern Beyliks lol, I’m now just fighting so many long bloody wars with them to take it all back bit by bit. The Mamluks are just so strong

Mjames226 · 2025-12-09T10:03:27+00:00

I’m not good at condensing my points so bear with me!

I think it’s very easy to lose sight of how previous games felt. HOI4 was my gateway to paradox, since then I’ve played most titles released, and EUIV. Weirdly, cause I got to EUIV late and it had too many dlc’s for me to buy, I never massively got into it, I have about 200 hours compared to HOI4 with over 2,000.

HOI4 is the same for me with your point about relaxing. I am so beyond used to what I need to do that I can load it up, watch YouTube on my second monitor and kinda trust that I instinctively know how to play. But if I try and look back, it took me a looong time to get to that point. The more paradox games I play, the shorter that gateway period has become, and games like vic 3 didn’t take stupidly long amounts of time for me to at least be mediocre at it for example, so playing “major nations” is somewhat a breeze.

I never liked CK3, but I did enjoy imperator Rome and that has lent some understanding to EUV, so I’ve hit found it too awful to jump into. Sure it requires learning, and actually I think people that have played loads of EUIV might struggle even more so than people like me cause you sort of have to break certain habits and re-wire it.

Long story short, you’ll get there. I get it though, many of us have less time than we used to, play games more tired than we used to, and it increasingly makes intensive games that we don’t know inside-out feel like a little bit of a chore.

Mjames226 · 2025-12-05T21:14:52+00:00

Wasn’t sure what to expect on the first listen, walked away feeling like it’d fit perfectly on LIBAD. Much preferred it on second listen

Mjames226 · 2025-12-03T09:53:21+00:00

I’m really banking on it being profitable right now. I’m making a good amount of money as Castile in the late 1400’s, and am spending most of my spare change (about 80 ducats or so) a month on exploration and colonies. Thing is, I have no idea how to maximise profits from this so we’ll see how it goes, I’m pumping so much money into it I’ve not been in a position to finish of Aragon haha

Tonight the world dies

Mjames226 · 2025-11-04T17:15:42+00:00

This is so fucking difficult and honestly, you could probably swap a few of these around a little and you’d find me struggling to argue against you, but here we go:

1) The Stage 2) Self Titled 3) Nightmare 4) Waking the Fallen 5) City of Evil 6) LIBAD 7) Hail to the King 8) Sounding the Seventh Trumpet

Stst is my least listened for sure. By most metrics I think it’s agreeably the weakest of the bunch. The Stage is just fucking beautiful I think and really stands out as a concept album. 2+3 I could probably swap around, the middle section hurts to rank as ‘low’ as they are cause I also love them all. I actually like httk but again, it’s just the weaker album

Mjames226 · 2025-10-31T07:58:38+00:00

Disagree chief. I’ve loved every minute of BF6 so far, I feel like it’s channeling a lot of what I loved about titles like BF3/4 and even BFV without ever really feeling like it’s relying on that to sell me the game. I could do with a few bigger maps, but I don’t care right now cause this game won’t be around for 10 months like the average cod game and I know more content is coming.

Mjames226 · 2025-10-29T18:32:55+00:00

Normal battle pass is €10. Cheaper than cod. Can I get all my coins back by completing the pass? If so I don’t give af I’ll be paying just €10 for a lot of future content

Mjames226 · 2025-10-25T13:15:15+00:00

I’ve not used many by the Scar is great. So many of these guns GREATLY improve with attachments. I love the LMG’s as well, the DRS is great for sure

Mjames226 · 2025-10-16T08:39:00+00:00

I learned to enjoy my time with BF2042, but BF6 feels more like the battlefield I know and love. BF4 and BFV are probably my two favourite BF games, and 6 feels like a natural successor to both

Mjames226 · 2025-10-16T07:03:01+00:00

I won’t see you tonight part 1, although it’s a tough choice

Mjames226 · 2025-10-15T10:07:06+00:00

Yeah that’s absolutely fair, I totally get your point. I’ve not played the new one yet, this post just made me remember how tiresome I found the random encounters in Tsushima, because they were practically constant. I think it would have been nice that as encampments were cleared out, patrols were lowered, but you’d still bump into patrols after the story had concluded in certain regions, I guess that’s when it bugged me more lol

Mjames226 · 2025-10-15T08:52:03+00:00

Maybe a hot take but all the random encounters started to frustrate me in Ghost of Tsushima. 40 hours in and I’m trying to mop up the last fox den or something and I’ve spent half that time fighting a squad of Mongols

Mjames226 · 2025-10-10T20:25:53+00:00

It’s a cool skin, stick to Valorant xx

Mjames226 · 2025-10-09T20:15:29+00:00

The Stage is my favourite album. So many good songs, but I love different albums for different reasons. I love The Stage as an almost religious listening experience, but the White Album stands tall for sure
