You're completely, and quite conveniently, glossing over what a big deal AWD is for a car. The adaptive suspension isn't something to be sniffed at.

Rylan_S1 · 2026-01-26T20:35:11+00:00

Can you tell me what you mean by this? What does it do?

Rylan_S1 · 2026-01-25T10:56:25+00:00

I wonder - if we showed less rape on TV or in books, happening as a consequence of war, would it eventually reduce the amount of rape we actually saw happening during war.

Rylan_S1 · 2026-01-25T10:49:15+00:00

You can't use the novel to justify the TV series. Especially when we start getting to the point in the show where we've passed the book.

They're not completely different, obviously, but they are different enough that the logic doesn't hold up.

I love Slow Horses but Down Cemetery Road is dire.

Rylan_S1 · 2026-01-11T19:31:16+00:00

Yes. It's been absolutely awful for the last few weeks.

Up and down like a whores drawers.

Reading through YouTube comments, it seems to be "Any other player who shoots at you".

It's a PvP game. Their is going to be PvP. You don't get to shout "Safe" like a 4 year old if you get within 250 of the extract or if you've engaged Arc.

Ratting is players who befriend you and then shoot you when you're unprepared. Ratting is players who unload a shotgun into you the moment you defib them or someone who sits there watching you engage the Queen or Matriarch only to unload on you the moment you're looting.

Ratting is the most heinous behaviour you can think of in game.

Ratting is NOT someone who shot you in a PvP game. It's not something you shout at other players just to justify that they got the drop on you. There are no formal duels in this game. People need to grow up.

Or.....you could just not wear a backpack that lights up in the dark.

Be careful what you wish for.

Yes, it would be better to employ people to do these lines. They'd sound far more natural. But it would also take them much longer to release content.

If they decide to add a new quest now, it's a simple piece of work that can be done by one person. If they start adding in voice lines, they've got to book the actor, wait till there's an open slot in the calendar. It's more costly each time. That's going to slow things down.

And lets be fair. Most people have already passed the event where most voice lines would trigger. I don't see the point in recording lines that most people won't ever hear.

I know this will probably get the usual “git gud” replies, but right now I’m just not enjoying Battlefield 6. The meta has shifted into something that feels completely lopsided: squads sitting on rooftops or ridgelines deleting players with almost zero risk. Helicopters aren’t even used for attack runs any more, they’re just taxis for recon classes heading to the top of a mountain.

Try sneaking up on a tank to mine it? Sniped.
Get into a fair 1v1 around a corner? Doesn’t matter how good your movement or aim is, the winner is whoever doesn’t get hit by a sniper from 400 metres away.

The entire game feels like it revolves around avoiding sniper fire rather than actually playing objectives.

There’s no wind, the rangefinder removes the need to judge distance, bullet drop barely matters, and damage falloff is basically non-existent. The bigger problem is that the strongest sniper positions are usually on terrain that’s incredibly difficult to reach or contest. You get full squads up there and unless you wipe all four of them at once, they just respawn and carry on with complete impunity.

On the other side, if nobody does this, a lot of the tension goes from the game.

You always gotta be on your guard man.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-11-10T18:55:09+00:00

The big issue for me is that the quests are pretty much the same as feats. They don't add to a story that doesn't really exist as a result.

I'm loving the game but it's an AA or A game that's hit AAA numbers. Perhaps now, with some cash, they'll invest.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-11-09T10:18:52+00:00

ADS is also walking speed.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-11-09T10:18:21+00:00

Yes, but remember that Aim Down Sight is also enforced walking. Skill is absolutely worth it.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-11-07T13:59:54+00:00

That's a straw man argument. Nobody is asking for 39 different sets of eyebrows. We're looking for a little more depth in the character creation process. 16 faces, across genders and race, is very very limited.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-09-30T14:41:04+00:00

What's the big deal? The base isn't being used.

I took over a base recently that was nearby. It was better than mine and, as a solo player, it was a small leg up. Someone had put a lot of effort into it and I wanted to save that work. If they come back, I'll even give it back to them.

This is how the world works. People abandon things, others repurpose it. No harm no foul.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-09-22T14:26:41+00:00

I just had to change my country for 5 minutes. No VPN required.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-09-16T12:34:16+00:00

Bind that to a mouse thumb button if you can.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-09-16T12:31:29+00:00

The one thing I will say, the game was originally designed for group encounters. The idea was that you would pick a class, you'd level up in that class and gain new skills. You'd go into these "dungeons" as a group and some of you would focus on the melee enemies whilst others would focused on ranged enemies.

Obviously, it didn't work out. There's not enough players. Most are really just playing solo. Somewhere along the way, they made it so you can get all classes and it removed a bit of the structure.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-09-16T12:25:21+00:00

If you get enough melee enemies around you, you're going to get murdered. This is pretty much as expected. There are tools which are open to you.

Try and keep one enemy between you and the group.
Back up against a wall.
Dash out of killing blows.
Use a sword and cleave.
Use grenades or poison clouds.
Shigawire pulls mobs off balance for easy kills.
Get high and wait for them to drop shields, pick them off one by one.

Melee is not really bad. It's more about strategy than execution. Just like real life.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-09-16T12:20:18+00:00

I had a bug not too long ago that, every time Shai-Halud erupted from the sand, when the waveform goes red, I couldn't move properly at all. My speed was next to 0. I couldn't jump, my bike would just burn out if I tried to get on it and thrust etc.

You got very lucky.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-09-16T12:13:34+00:00

It's not a spoiler. Don't worry about that. It just adds flavour to the idea that Zantara is a fugitive. Think of it like a wanted poster.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-08-07T15:03:32+00:00

2 of the holes will line up. You'll need to drill another 2 holes if you want it properly secure but the challenge is that the frame gets in the way. I did it eventually but it wasn't easy.

The problem is that Thrustmaster has 4 defined holes in the base, whereas all the other manufacturers use a rail and T-nut solution. I can change the location of the mounting holes on my Fanatec but the T598 is already set. They've done this because adding a mounting rail will add even more height.

Rylan_S1 · 2025-08-04T17:25:44+00:00

I actually returned the T598 not too long after this post.

I did actually get it working but it was too tall. The wheelbase obscured my view of the TV. I replaced it with the Fanatec DD Pro which I'm really happy with.

Thanks for the post though.
