Battlefield 6 is actually a ton of fun, surprisingly, considering the last 2 were "meh" and trash.

I really hope they see it's success and $ it generates and dont slow down the content releases, or let quality take a nose dive....

    I highly recommend it, a fresh install reminds me of a fresh XP/7 install, like a blank slate.

    I also highly recommend installing StartAllBack, too. Its like $5 with and has a really long trial. I got my UI to be nice and more functional all while still retaining the W11 Mica look and feel.

    I did, no regrets. It's a good ol' blasty blast.

    I did the beta tests and it was obvious it had a solid foundation to be one of the most fun BF games in the franchise.

    Keeping up with the patch notes, they're doing a decent job fixing problems and listening to large concerns.

    For reference I bought 2042 on sale for like $20 and for the most part that wasn't even worth it. And I also think BF5 wasn't worth it either.

    There was/is a subreddit where people would recreate how things looked visually to them. I think it was called replications? Like patterns and textures moving, almost like they're breathing is common.

    In the last 1/2 of the game I lowered the difficulty to easy for this exact reason. I wanted to experience the end, but couldn't the bothered to memorize attack animations and timings to try and successfully dodge a boss 20 times back to back.

    I have another comment in this thread, but their tractors have a single data port, and I'm pretty sure it's been the same one for like 20+ years, and universal across all their equipment across the globe.

    Its also not unique to Deere, it's the same thing used on large Diesel semi-trucks, like Cummins engines.

    Copying and pasting my own comment from another thread 2 days ago, in case anyone is curious what the John Deere experience is:

    I'm not aware of what the timeline for all this is, but I JUST had to deal with this today!

    It's gonna be a rollercoaster....

    Our dealership/shop is very slow, and it sucks driving a tractor for like 20+ miles on the shoulder of a freeway with cars going 65+ mph. And when it comes to anything electronic on a Deere, they know the absolute bare minimum.

    So we discovered a mobile mechanic who charges very reasonable rates, and is very good, professional, timely, and friendly.

    He came out today for a new problem that's caused by what he fixed just a few months ago, but this time it is electronic/digital, and he had his brand new kit that connects the tractors computer to his laptop. It was his 2nd-3rd time using it, and he admitted hes no good with computers at all, either.

    We both sat there for hours trying to figure it out. And he said a dealer is supposed to help him, but he can't find a dealer that knows how, nor will...

    So soon, a friend of his who works at a Deere dealer and knows the previous gen tech, that was dealer only exclusive, is gonna meet at our place and teach him on our tractor, and hopefully I can tag along and learn as well.

    The software was John Deere Pro Service, and it seems nicely made, but man it is not very intuitive.

    Its going to be veryyyy interesting seeing who uses this. I'd imagine not many people who work on tractors whether their own, or for work, are very good with technology in general.

    Adding: The USB LINK 3 is $1100 USD from John Deere, and it's $195/year per tractor for software access, up to 25, after that you need a more $$ plan that's like $5k.

    Only the parts about tolerance, treating people equally, loaning $ with no interest, even eventually forgiving said loans, not bragging about being christian, and not preaching unless others want to hear it.

    Let their plan backfire in a way that's about positivity. Teachers could say "what, you don't want me to teach the actual parts of the Bible that matter?!"
