I mean… compared to a call of duty experience i think they do. Even arcadey battlefield games have combined arms, naunced teamwork and battlefield awareness at play that most team shooters don’t have.
If you would like a really arcadey recommendation however Heroes Of Valor looks good though I haven’t tried it (and it is in early access).
It isn’t worth the nonsense, check out the new community I started for battlefield-like indie games !indiefields@sopuli.xyz
A good alternative recommendation is Easy Red 2

That developer deserves a measly $10 far more than EA does, and the game is better than any recent battlefields in terms of realism and depth of gameplay. The game has a full inventory system and extensive easy to use command controls for AI troops (that are actually tactically useful) that creates along with the polished gunplay and tank combat mechanics a very compelling gameplay loop.
ER2 is a blast on my Steam Deck!!
Give your money to artists and game developers so they can live decent lives, the executives of EA won’t know what to do with your money except fire more developers and buy an even bigger yacht.
Now is the time to spread your wings and try linux as a replacement for windows!
So? There is a difference between someone using your tools for evil and actively engaging in profit seeking with said evil doer in order to make money hand over fist.
Microsoft is knowingly participating in genocide.
Act accordingly.
However, Unit 8200 sources said intelligence drawn from the enormous repositories of phone calls held in Azure had been used to research and identify bombing targets in Gaza.
Microsoft is directly profitting off of the Genocide of Palestinians.
Directly and KNOWINGLY profitting off of genocide.
Truly listen to those words and let them sink in. This is evil and we must hold those like this man Satya Narayana Nadella accountable for witnessing a genocide of tens of thousands, likely hundreds of thousands, and participating enthusiastically.
We will not forget.
The stock market is a way to publicly trade partial ownership of companies. The value of a stock is whatever people are willing to pay for it. That’s based on speculation but at least somewhat anchored in the companies’ revenues and profits/losses.
Sometimes it is but no the stock market is often very unanchored from any real sense of value and as a result all of the money involved becomes a part of something unreal that will catastrophically collapse at a later point.
Exhibit A) See Uber, it isn’t even a business in any pure capitalist sense since it has never or almost never turned a profit.
No, the macro-economic function of the stock market is to determine the capitalist value of things, the stock market IS the hallucination at the center of the value of currencies like the US dollar.
You clearly believe in some magical power of rationality to the stock market like people believe in God, I can only debate you so far before your rhetorical defenses become purely emotional and based on feelings not facts.
Then what is the function of the stock market for the economy?
You are arguing for an extremely simplistic vision of money that does not exist.
So what, it is an incredibly evil company.
That doesn’t mean the money is real.
This must be understood as purposefully setting up the conditions to rationalize systematic violence.
The AI is just a silly cartoon slapped on the face of a much older, simpler and more brutal strategy of gaining power, which is to magnify crisis so it can be exploited.
The Register is a great reliable indepth IT/tech news publication I value for the quality of its information, the headlines and general editorial tone drenched in a refreshing icecold sarcasm towards silicon valley is a definite bonus to the experience though.
I am so turned on in a SFW way like my skin is tingling this is awesome news!!! Very Fucking Cool.
HEADPHONE JACK - I scream into the void
That is why after the vision of this meme appeared in my head I was forced to banish it from my imagination by making it real in as halfassed fashion as possible.
My point is when people use this argument “Well abusive couples just shouldn’t be couples!” it is a way to dismiss the danger of never ending surveillance that makes an INCREDIBLY problematic leap of condemning people falling into abusive relationships to simply suffer, tough luck… and it demonstrates a callous, ineffective and frankly worrying understanding of how abusive relationships formed in general.
Do we all really think this is a great idea when fascism and toxic masculinity are catastrophically growing globally like a late stage mestastized cancer?
Do you think enabling all those men to abusively control their spouses is just the forward march of technological progress?
The US is the most selfconfident, “personally successful so me and my family are fine :)” country about to go into a second great depression on earth.
I am not saying I don’t like battlefield, I don’t like EA and that has become a dealbreaker for me… or rather it did quite awhile ago.
