is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Battlefield 6 is the best the series has been in nearly a decade – at least regarding the multiplayer. I cannot recommend the campaign, even if it has some neat ideas.

Battlefield 6: The Epic Return to Form We've Been Waiting For

The game the long-running series needed.

#Battlefield6 is the game the long-running series needed. 🔥

🗺️ Multiplayer map design is excellent for classic #Battlefield game modes.
👏 Atmosphere, feel, and sound are immersive and satisfying.
🔫 Classes return with distinct but varied roles.

I did not expect much from the campaign and was still disappointed

between you and me, some of my more scathing observations on the Battlefield 6 campaign were (understandably) cut from the final draft. my favorite bit was, "It's the kind of narrative you can continue to write after being bought out by the Saudi government for more than $50 billion."

"The campaign's subject matter is so inoffensive that it feels like it doesn't really say anything at all [...]. Much like how Battlefield 6 at large feels like it's trying to appeal to everyone, the story is going out of its way to not make any bold statements on the military-industrial complex."

"Playing Battlefield 6 is a sensory delight [...]. Each gun's report, the beeping noises of the helicopter you're piloting, the mechanical churning of a tank shell reloading, a rocket whizzing by, the groaning of a building that's collapsing – every bit of noise is incredibly well realized."

BF6's maps are very good, but they're also... uninteresting. It's a very strange juxtaposition.

"They feel a bit manufactured. The impression is that they were created to be good multiplayer shooter maps above all else, including simply being interesting locations in their own right."

You’d think the federal government having a meeting about how to deal with the anti-fascists would be an easy one for even the dumbest among us to interpret

The fact that the federal occupations of blue cities, while bad for democracy and the people they hurt, only consist of enough troops to fill one Applebees kind of underscores that this is fascism primarily for content

also: the original fascists were people driven insane by the twin horrors of World War I and postwar punitive austerity and the current fascists were driven insane by their phones

Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.
