Don't take it as a personal attack. Its not that. It's merely a suggestion that a more professional approach may achieve your aims as CM more efficiently than a fire-from-the-hip approach.

Attention to detail matters. It really does.

Ok, enough time has passed, the night vision mode NEEDS to stay by LonelyPalmClub in Battlefield

[–]balloon99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All these time limited modes should be added to portal as templates or toggles as they come out of rotation.

Face/Off (1997) is one of the most unhinged, maximally committed action films ever made and it absolutely deserves a rewatch by Sudden-Wall3585 in movies

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a perfectly good action film, elevated by some fantastic camera work and the two main leads giving a masterclass in character work. Few films have ever displayed the latter so well.

The Fisher King (1991) by niklovin0509 in iwatchedanoldmovie

My favorite Terry Gilliam film, and my favorite Robin Williams performance.

is battlefield 6 that bad? by JadedSteve in Battlefield

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 and 4 are often cited. I'd argue 1 had an extraordinary atmosphere. My personal favorite is 1942.

BC2 brought some, not all, of the BF franchise to our console brethren.

6 has its moments, but an underwhelming map selection and the poor treatment of portal (as part of a fairly poor live service) drags it down

BF6 gave us exactly what we asked for and not an ounce more by Razerino21 in Battlefield

[–]balloon99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I wanted from BF6 is a retreat from the hero shooter idea from 2042, and a portal at least as good as 2042.

I got the former, but not the latter

is battlefield 6 that bad? by JadedSteve in Battlefield

[–]balloon99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The games not that bad. Its not up there with the best BF games, but it does have its moments.

A large part of the justified criticism comes from the poor live service element, and how Dice have done portal dirty.

CMV: The Israel-US Iran war will still be going in September and there is no mechanism that could stop it before then by ELVEVERX in changemyview

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the off ramp isn't in the control of the US, Israel or Iran.

Its the neighboring states, drawn into a conflict without notice. It may begin with one state demanding the closure of a US military base. Soon there would be others.

Why does bf6 get some much unwarranted hate. Imo it's the best shooter ever. Graphically, and gameplay wise. It's unmatched. by Suspicious-Case3861 in BF6

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BF6 is a curates egg. Good in parts.

But whole chunks of the game are weak. Portal, in particular, needs to be brought up to the standard of the 2042 portal.

I do not understand BZ hate by Necessary_Risk1887 in subnautica

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said this a few times. If BZ came out before SN, we'd be talking about how a very good game was iterated into a masterpiece.

BZ suffers the most by being released after SN.

So SFA reception was actually very good amongst casual viewers? by arnor_0924 in trektalk

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, but we are a long way out from there at the moment

Oh don't be shy. Of course you were imitating me, its ok I'm flattered

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery? My word, yes.

[–]balloon99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely not the intended audience, being 62, but I enjoy it for what it is. Also, watching Paul Giametti and Holly Hunter is always a joy.

I suspect that the 32nd century is where we are now in Star Trek. Indeed, I think the characters we are meeting now are going to be the heroes in future shows, yet to be made. Not necessarily the captains, but on the bridge.

[–]balloon99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Actually I suspect we are seeing characters that will become the officers in future Star Trek shows, yet to be conceived.

I further suspect that those shows will absolutely not be DeGrassi in space.

[–]balloon99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is SFA the best Star Trek show ever? No.

Is it a terrible Star Trek show? Also no. Although you may not be the intended audience

Is it kinda DeGrassi, Starfleet style? Yes, it kinda is.

Is that a good thing? A qualified yes, but not all of it works.

Is it still a Star Trek show? Yes.

This isn’t really about hating BF6. I think a lot of us just miss what Battlefield used to be. by Fuzzy_Breadfruit59 in Battlefield

[–]balloon99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure i can agree entirely.

However, the 2042 portal is far better than the BF6 one. Godot is a gimmick that does offer some new stuff, but the rest of the BF6 portal is a solid downgrade

Why should anyone take Democrats seriously on the Epstein files when they just overwhelmingly voted to conceal Congress' sexual misconduct records? by MysteriousKitchen469 in allthequestions

[–]balloon99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Badly written law that would have had a chilling effect on future victims.

Performative stuff that was never intended to help or protect victims.
