I was so angry when Battlefield 2042 came out in 2021. SO MAD. I'd waited years for that game, and the state it was released in was downright embarrassing. Just not even in the universe of finished or playable - it was a joke.
I was so furious because I'd convinced my friends that it was going to be amazing. Thankfully we all signed up for EA Play for a month rather than buying a copy for $90AUD.
We all went and played call of duty for 2 years instead, but it fractured the group.
Recently BF2042 went back on sale for $20. A friend sent us all some youtube videos and convinced the whole squad to give it another run as they had been actively working on the game for the entire two years. I'm so glad he did!
We have had some absolutely epic 128 player matches the last 4 months. So much fun, it has felt like the old days.
One friend has put in the hours and learned to be a pretty competent chopper pilot. We have had a couple of games with a full squad in the chopper repairing and gunning and managed to stay alive the entire match without a single death. Absolutely legendary.
We've had others jumping between vehicle and ground play and basically turned the tide of battle just with our little squad. Man we've had some fun! It's the first time in years that I've regularly managed to field a full squad all on voice comms and it's just been so great.
AGM G2 Guardian. It's a pretty exclusive club mate. AGM gambled big and I don't think it's really payed off for them - they haven't shifted enough units and their profit margin was super small.
I work outdoors and live a pretty weird life, I was super super excited to find a decent snapdragon in a ruggedized device like this. The long-range thermal is legit, battery life is insane and it feels like a super high quality thing to hold. They've had a few little teething problems - some issues with fingerprint sensor for a few people, some screen flickering issues for others. I've been pretty lucky so far and I believe they are switching things up in manufacturing now.
I am presently using a super niche device. SUPER niche. So niche that I have been dealing really closely with the manufacturer, who worked with Qualcomm and made a specific firmware just to get wifi calling working for me in Australia.
I have quizzed them so many times on why they won't support rom development. You can unlock the bootloader, but the rom files are heavily encrypted. There's no way to extract the boot IMG so we're dead in our tracks.
The manufacturer basically say that they have to fight so hard to gain google certification that they won't do a single thing to risk losing it.
They've been pretty generous with their warranty policies so probably another reason is they don't want to risk anyone doing overclocking etc and then having to cover device repairs or replacement.
Closed because I am a mammal and I indulge in the nesting instinct.
Run, Shenk, Ruuuun!
I guess after a few months here we forgot about entities that literally only care about money and data harvesting.
Why would anyone use sync over Infinity?
An open source app that has always been every bit as good, if not better.
I would rather give that money to the host of my local instance.
Yeah I bought it. It plays really well, but I just couldn't get past the graphics. I didn't spend 7K on my rig to play stickmen.
