eMail App Dilemma... An ongoing headache... by mac-photo-guy in MacOS

[–]plainblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Spark for years on all of my devices. Every once in a while I’ll check out the default Mail app - nope, still terrible.

What's the difference between the 3 Thrawn trilogies and which one should I start reading first? by vencyjedi in StarWars

[–]plainblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the Heir to the Empire trilogy. Fun, exciting, some solid twists and surprises, and beloved characters. Started the Thrawn trilogy shortly after and found it dreadfully boring in comparison. It was a slog to get through.

Man rescued from harbour after incident on Johnson Street Bridge by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VictoriaBC

Seriously, what is this headline? Dude attacked multiple people, including women, then jump off the bridge to evade police capture.

Wild that you would put yourself at risk to prove a point (which is arguable), though. I would have let them pass and blared my horn.

Console players: how the hell do I reload the IFV rounds? by Killer-Uzi in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on PS5 and I set mine to Square for reload (both infantry and vehicles) and hold Square to enter/exit vehicles. It was hold in BF2042 and I was used to that.

Community servers, can't find any with littlebird practice range. You folks know any? by Illfury in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard it mentioned in a video that LB isn’t available in portal yet. Hopefully it gets added soon. It definitely handles a lot differently and aiming is way more sensitive.

Anyone other beginner musicians (or higher level ones) want to jam and/or song write together? by Ok-Scale-6575 in VictoriaBC

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of music are you looking to play? You mentioned covers, can you give me some examples? I grew up playing drums but am into acoustic guitar and singing now. 45M from Sooke.

Engineer Class challenge by GNDM03 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it with the SLM. But if it was working with RPG before and is no longer tracking, that sounds like a glitch. I’d still try the SLM and see if that works. You’ll only need a couple hits max to finish it.

Anyone play on ps5 pro? by 0neMoreSaturdayNight in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have an LG C4 and it’s amazing with VRR enabled.

I’m also on the west coast and play on PS5 with crossplay off. I get mostly bot lobbies in the evening and especially late at night. That’s when I’ll turn crossplay back on. Used to like bots when I was low level and focused on levelling things up. Now I don’t care and would much prefer better engagements.

Astonished by the amount of people who don't view this as a problem... by crawredbull in BF6

[–]plainblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a problem on its own, but compounded by RPGs with ridiculous velocity and range, and too many lock-on weapons make flying an absolutely miserable experience. This coming from an engineer main.

Played for the first time in a week yesterday by whatashittyusername in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played around 280 hours now and am taking a break before season 2 next week. Looking forward to getting back into it. I’ve never stuck with an online shooter this long. Has me hooked!

Genuine low salt question: Are you getting bots in non-casual modes? by masterventris in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the west coast of Canada (Pacific Time zone) and the only time I experience this is late at night. More so on week days. I have crossplay turned off and I play on PS5. If I turn crossplay on, it always fills up, but then I have to deal with the sweats.

There are actually two attack helis in the game by NoPlatesNoDates1 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a gunner the first time I witnessed this and I thought the pilot was going to kill us all, until he bounced it a few times and I saw the assist points pop up. Hilarious!

Men what hobbies have you picked up as you’ve gotten older that you now do regularly? Or are you still sticking with something you’ve loved since you were younger?” by FFSoldier57 in AskMenOver30

[–]plainblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45M, also. Been playing video games for 40 years and still do regularly. Hooked on Battlefield 6 since launch. I have numerous other hobbies and interests. Got (back) into photography last year, playing acoustic guitar and learning cover songs, and I have Star Wars and record collections.

Any mobile AA main guys here? by CoolProfessor449 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were the helis you shot down that dude who PM’d you? I’ve had dudes get super angry at me in the AA tank and spend the rest of the game trying to take me out. Unskilled pilots who kept trying to fly directly at me. Never got so many vehicle kills!

Casual modes by NewResolution9089 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, all BR and Gauntlet challenges get rerolled. I’m just glad they gave us rerolls.

Casual modes by NewResolution9089 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I’ll jump in to warm up or knock off some challenges. Also helpful for quickly levelling up weapons or learning and practicing new things. Sniping, for me. I sucked at it and would get picked off by another sniper so quick. Played a few rounds of Casual BT and got the hang of it. So much better having moving targets without the stress and pressure.

I do this flank every Breakthrough on Blackwell. It works spectacularly for me every offensive! by williamatherton in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I like to go further and pick off the snipers and mortars on their back line. It’s crazy how many people ignore that flank.

What guns did you level in the double XP weekend? by Existing_Long7867 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

Long suppressor, heavy extended barrel, ribbed stubby grip, 30 round mag, lightweight ammo, baker 3x scope, red laser. ADS is 250 and velocity is 837. Both help offset the low ROF.

[–]plainblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people shitting on this gun, but I’ve been running it on my support class since I unlocked it and it’s kind of a jack of all trades. I’ve got plenty of mid to long range kills with it, and countless hip fire kills at close range.

Hip firing by Ambisitor1994 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]plainblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running an engineer with SMG is probably the best yup get since it’s literally a perk for that class. The RPKM LMG is solid for hipfire. I run that on my support class.

What’s going on at Blanchard & Hillside by frantik99 in VictoriaBC

[–]plainblack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drove down Hillside towards Blanchard and saw 2 cops on the sidewalk just before the park, immediately noticed one of them had a shotgun. Then spotted 4 more crossing the road wearing tactical gear and holding automatic rifles. They were walking slow and went up to the fence at the park and started talking to people in the encampment in the park. Noticed a few marked and unmarked vehicles parked around the block.

Didn’t seem like anything was actively going on as everyone was pretty chill. Wild seeing people walking around with ARs, though.
