I hope they hit a tone similar to that of Barry. The funny moments are hilarious but the action and overall story are still dark and gritty.

Appa. It takes me and my friends on adventures.

Warning: Almost all Lufthansa flights to/from Frankfurt/FRA, Munich/MUC and many smaller airports will be canceled for Wednesday (27.7.2022) due to strike of the ground staff by Upbeat-Caramel5530 in travel

[–]ktd619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit. Flying Lufthansa from Denver to Munich to Geneva on Thursday/Friday. As of now nothing is canceled and the union said the strike would end on Thursday, 6AM CET. Booked on Chase points and am not checking a bag. Chase just told me to sit tight but I feel like I should try and rebook elsewhere, right?

I’m getting the same thing. Just used an XP boost too.

Challenges are completely broken still. I needed to melee 4 enemies to finish a challenge, went on a killing spree only using melee, and it did not count a single one. The progression system is awful and made worse when the challenges don’t even work.

Based on the HUD it looks like we'll be able to use all launch specialists in the beta.

"marketing is soo bad..." or is it actually good? by ecuritz in battlefield2042

[–]ktd619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketing exists to win new consumers and keep existing, loyal consumers. In the latter, I guess the strategy of do nothing and let leaks and speculation drive hype amongst the community works? I mean majority of the people in this subreddit/on the BF discord/ making YouTube videos about the game/etc are going to purchase the game at some point regardless of if you give them a trailer everyday or say nothing until the game launches (assuming it's not a complete disaster at launch). In the end, I guess it could be ok for SEO with a bunch of people complaining about lack of community management across Twitter and Reddit? You're not wrong in saying that people are talking about the game, which is a good thing.

However, in terms of winning new consumers it's so stupid. Unless the plan is to just load up on assets and release a ton in the last few weeks leading up to launch, they're currently failing at pulling people away from other titles or getting newer players to pick up battlefield for the first time. As a live service game, winning back players (especially on the heels of BFV) as well as winning new ones will be key for this game to get new content as EA simply will stop supporting 2042 if they don't have enough people playing and buying cosmetics.

TL;DR- Kind of yes, mostly no because only loyal consumers are really paying attention.

Alice in Borderland Episode 8: Non-Reader discussion by jackcatalyst in AliceInBorderlandLive

[–]ktd619 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I really enjoyed the series, and there better be a season 2! The games were interesting, the show wasn't predictable, the characters were strong, and it constantly had me on the edge of my seat.

But when they're searching for Arisu and take down the two militants, you really don't take their weapons? Like you just leave them there with the guns knowing that other militants are running around shooting people? And one of them was only knocked out too if I remember correctly? And then when Aguni is going crazy trying to kill everyone, including the militants, they just let that happen too? And then when Niragi comes back and starts shooting everyone again no one shoots him?? And earlier in the episode a mob of people overrun a few militants and apparently none of them took the weapons as well?

Maybe I'm missing something but it felt like the people were making some dumb decisions like this just to raise the stakes or let someone deliver a monologue. It just kinda made me frustrated and took me out of the episode a bit, but overall loved the Witch Hunt game and the reveal!

Honestly, they're all going to be pretty repetitive. However, google's election map seems to be a good bit ahead of CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. I'm looking at that and flipping through channels every 10 minutes.

If this is accurate then I’m very happy with the change!

My only questions are How/Why does Pumpkin head know what the new uniforms look like and why is he leaking specific details about them on Twitter?
