i'm trying to super eject

i hold space

then press e

[misty burrow]

Seems healthier than my caffeine abuse

[lilac forge]

but it just drops down normally

[lilac forge]

mmm

[astral copper]

What is this

[inner charm]

so is EA office coffee like the sludge from monsters inc?

[lilac forge]

I remember when DICE's website had a coffee counter for BF3

[inner charm]

if so id like some

[misty burrow]

I'm working from home haha

[lilac forge]

I think it was like 24k cups of coffee made during the development of BF3

[inner charm]

lmao

[silver bone]

If we're talking Madrid... no, it's brown water

[inner charm]

F

[silver bone]

At least it was in 2019

[inner charm]

damn

watery coffee is disgusting

[silver bone]

Well, on most of floors

[wild igloo]

I'm also working from home and even I have like 40 DICE coffee paper mugs in storage.. for secret reasons

[lilac forge]

can anyone help?

[inner charm]

sus

[silver bone]

Our wing commandeered a proper coffee machine

[lilac forge]

😋 Sounds delicious

[blissful rain]

You missed the new coffee machines

[inner charm]

vicbou, what are you doing with the cups?

[wild igloo]

Not sure yet

[inner charm]

lol

[vivid cove]

gaming toilet

[lilac forge]

Mozzy works at EA now?

[silver bone]

Any good?

[wild igloo]

I've had them for 5 years

[lilac forge]

ok, so i'm trying to super eject. i hold space, then press e, but it just drops down normally. does anyone know the reason for this?

[blissful rain]

We have machines with Irish Coffee (no alcohol obviously)

[silver bone]

4R had a good machine, but 4L and 3rd floor coffee was grim

[inner charm]

if youre asking about battlefield, try in #battlefield-legacy-titles

[silver bone]

Well, good

[lilac forge]

https://tenor.com/view/code-coffee-office-work-gif-14643860 how the days and nights go with coffee

[blissful rain]

That was right before quarantine though

[silver bone]

Some were decent

Some less so

[misty burrow]

But seriously, every supplement I take is caffeine enhanced, not bueno.

[inner charm]

F

[silver bone]

I remember one of these gels for runners

Citrus-flavored with caffeine

[blissful rain]

I say "we" as if I've seen the office the last 12 months

[silver bone]

Needed water to wash down

Flavor woke you up purely due to how grim it was

[misty burrow]

That sounds...amazing

[silver bone]

I mean, I gotta admit, it did the job

Still better than apple flavored

[inner charm]

why not just rub menthol on your upper lip? shit wakes you the fuck up

[misty burrow]

Mine's lemon flavored. The sourness is worse than the caffeine.

[blissful rain]

I think caffeine has worked once on me

Got the odd eye-twitch

[silver bone]

My relationship with caffeine is shaky

[blissful rain]

Then never again

[silver bone]

I develop dependency too easily so I try to avoid it

[blissful rain]

But that was when I worked nights

[silver bone]

And after 2-3 coffees I get the shakes

[quaint herald]

Caffeine only makes me more alert but doesn't help with sleep

[silver bone]

And my stomach ain't happy either

[lilac forge]

I feel like I'm the only person ever to get tired when drinking coffee

[misty burrow]

If I don't drink anything caffeinated I get the worst eye bags ever haha

[quaint herald]

I can drink whatever amount of crap I can

[blissful rain]

Me after smuggling out a cup from the DICE office

[silver bone]

I have them anyway, courtesy of a decade of insomnia

So that ship has sailed

[wild igloo]

Haha, I was gonna say, inside your pocket is suspicious

[silver bone]

It's a blessing that I start at 9:30 AM

[quaint herald]

How dare you steal dice cups mozzy

[wild igloo]

My image was actually at the DICE Stockholm office though

[blissful rain]

see 1st pinned message in #battlefield-legacy-titles for the juicy photo

[silver bone]

I wish I could stop by Stockholm one day

[dry vigil]

I see Max

[silver bone]

Just in general, not even for any particular reason

[misty burrow]

I miss the days of eating pizza in front of the EARO building after a 2AM-8AM Overtime.

[wild igloo]

I also have these from a previous workplace

[silver bone]

I love cold climates and yet for some reason I just keep on going to places that have insufferable heat

Madrid>Dallas on that front

[wild igloo]

Ah nice haha. Haven't been there in almost 3 years :< Used to playtest a lot before I became a GC

[silver bone]

And then you remember that barely any houses in Madrid have AC

[blissful rain]

I have a fan on me right now

[silver bone]

on

?

[blissful rain]

But as soon as I turn it off, the electricity that generated heats up the room even more

[misty burrow]

That doesn't sound healthy

[blissful rain]

pointed in my general direction

[silver bone]

To be fair

[wild igloo]

That's why he's also eating the melons

[silver bone]

Fan does bugger all past certain temperature

[misty burrow]

Says the guy who has the AC set on 18C

[dry vigil]

Glad I am in Ireland. It never gets hotter than 20C

[silver bone]

I'm pretty sure it's recommended to not use fans past 30-something Celsius

[gritty harbor]

EA convention

[silver bone]

As it actually increases the risk of heat stroke

[blissful rain]

pretty chill atm

[silver bone]

Poland is surprisingly good now

[solemn vapor]

''chill''

[silver bone]

For Madrid in July, that's ice cold tbh

When I was there it was 40+ almost every day

[coral sand]

HEre @waxen rover

[steady yarrow]

18c here

[solemn vapor]

So hell on earth lmao

[silver bone]

Record was 45 in the shade, I think

It's dry heat, at least

In Dallas, you have that and humidity

[solemn vapor]

oh that makes it a lot better

Because humidity is terrible

[quaint herald]

So a new quake game has apparently been rumoured

[blissful rain]

Yeah, I haven't had any humidity here

That is the worst part of weather

[solemn vapor]

Yep

[silver bone]

Dallas... we were, like, ~400km from the Gulf

And it still felt tropical

[wild igloo]

@quaint herald #802572012110741545

[quaint herald]

I like the cold but damn is it cold as fuck

Oh no

[slim grove]

[lilac forge]

ouh i'm sorry uwu

[quaint herald]

That's good weather Saiko

[misty burrow]

I'm out.

[lilac forge]

Is C5 a thing in 2042? Or is it a typo on the steam page?

[vivid cove]

Can i come with?

[steady yarrow]

except the storms

[slim grove]

i don't get it

[quaint herald]

C5 as in an evo of C4?

[vivid cove]

Chat just became cringe

[quaint herald]

Storms are good as you can sit in the house

But not so good when you get hit

[slim grove]

that's a dangerous thing to say in these parts

[cursive star]

I remember that was my first real exposure to the internet, I saw it while staying up all night at a friends house in like 2012

[lilac forge]

OWO

I'd assume it's an evolution of C4 but C4 has been around for a while now...

[steady yarrow]

Tornados.. we had 2 yesterday that almost touched down close to where i live

[quaint herald]

Oh

Those kind of storms

yeah that's bad

[silver bone]

I can't find it, but I had a photo from one of thermometers in Madrid when it was showing +57 in the sun

[steady yarrow]

[wild igloo]

Ultimate Showdown reference

[silver bone]

That was nice

[quaint herald]

What type of Tornado were they

How strong

[lilac forge]

does someone wanna chat in private? :3

[wild igloo]

Haha good stuff!

[lilac forge]

For the Americans here

[vivid cove]

[lilac forge]

don't be so mean

[silver bone]

Reminds me of a simple rule of thumb from Dallas

If temperature has 3 digits, you're in trouble

[slim grove]

[quaint herald]

Triple digit weather not good anyways

[steady yarrow]

f0 they didn't came down completely. like 50 ish meter left till touchdown

[quaint herald]

Ah yeah

[lilac forge]

It was 111F in Seattle the other week. Roads were literally cracking because of the heat

[inner charm]

jesus

[silver bone]

Yeah, I saw the news, entire West Coast got completely pummeled

[inner charm]

i didnt

[silver bone]

And then there was that area in Canada

[inner charm]

every weeks been 60-80f

[lilac forge]

Je(sus)

Anyway, reminds me of the time I drove back from EA Play

Lmao

My car broke down in the MIDDLE of death valley where it was 120F outside

Getting use to Adobe XD but still not great with colors 🤣

[silver bone]

One of small towns where they clocked the new record (49 Celsius and a change) had a fire

[lilac forge]

I was stuck in that heat for 5 hours

[inner charm]

[silver bone]

In 15 minutes 90% of town burned down

[vivid cove]

Man is the internet ever going to recover from among us i wonder

[lilac forge]

So 49C with no moisture in the air?

[silver bone]

I'll dig up the article

Pretty much

[lilac forge]

Sounds like a normal day in Vegas

[silver bone]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57678054

[inner charm]

feels like a fever dream, here its like never over 30C

[lilac forge]

Wow not even that long ago

[inner charm]

im surprised it hit 111f in seattle

[lilac forge]

I thought you were talking a while back

[silver bone]

Poland broke its record multiple times in last decade

[trim bear]

Ye there was a new record in Washington and Oregon.. its so fucking hot

[silver bone]

Not this year yet, luckily

[lilac forge]

Yeah people, global warming is real!

[inner charm]

say that to san diego

[silver bone]

Our current one is... 42 Celsius?

[inner charm]

its been 60f lowest, highest was 85

[blissful rain]

please center it

[vivid cove]

lol

[lilac forge]

Wait, where are you Spitfire?

[silver bone]

Central Poland

[vivid cove]

Oof

[silver bone]

Record for country is 42

[steady yarrow]

[silver bone]

For my city 40 and a change

[lilac forge]

It says its 77F in Warsaw

Which I'm assuming is near the EA studio

(key word is assuming)

[restive pumice]

[steady yarrow]

[silver bone]

EA Poland studio is in Warsaw

[cursive star]

That and piemations… those were the day

S

[silver bone]

...although I actually never have been in it

Because I work remotely

[lilac forge]

HAHA

[slim grove]

shame

[lilac forge]

Welcome to the games industry atm

Super sucks

[silver bone]

Well, I work with EA Spain peeps anyway

I used to work with @blissful rain for a while

[wild igloo]

Not familiar with that one

[lilac forge]

I know someone from DICE who works remotely from Canada atm

[lilac forge]

I'm also assuming they can't move him to Sweden because of COVID

[slim grove]

that sticker is gross

[silver bone]

By work with Mozzy I mean I've never seen him in person btw

[lilac forge]

BRING BACK CURSED CAT

[silver bone]

I started my EA stint one week after entire bloody Europe went into first lockdown

[silver bone]

And got stuck in Poland

[lilac forge]

How long have you been in the industry?

[silver bone]

Close to 2 years total, I'm still green

[steady yarrow]

first lock down. never forget

[lilac forge]

Oh so EA is your first job then?

[silver bone]

4 months in 2019, year and a bit in current run

In gaming, yes

Overall, no

[lilac forge]

Nice

Damn I wish EA was my first job lol

[blissful rain]

People are boring and deleted it

[silver bone]

My first job was in a lab

[lilac forge]

It's incredibly difficult to get into EA

[lilac forge]

TRAUUUUUUUUUU

[lilac forge]

the centring as been done I forgot to centre it in Adobe XD

[steady yarrow]

even more offcenter

[lilac forge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/826193406128423023.gif?v=1

[inner charm]

F

[misty burrow]

Not as much as you'd think.

[lilac forge]

I got turned down for a QA role....with 2 years of experience in production

It's pretty difficult

[silver bone]

Depends where you're trying to get in

Also, timing is everything

[misty burrow]

I joined as a Tester that was also a University student back in 2017

[lilac forge]

well according to adobe by using the centring tool it makes the elements centre but it might look a bit off because of the screenshot

Yeah but you went to school

[silver bone]

But yeah, it's standard operations for any job search, rinse and repeat until you get your foot in the door

[steady yarrow]

[lilac forge]

I'm still under the firm belief that you need to be a college graduate to actually get into EA

[silver bone]

I got rejected by various places... 6 or 7 times before I got hired

[lilac forge]

6 or 7 times???

That's it?

[silver bone]

I mean, I did graduate from university

...in plant biotechnology

[lilac forge]

Still something

But I've applied to over 450 jobs over the past year in the industry?

I've been rejected by all of them

[silver bone]

Not sure if I even put it on my CV

[misty burrow]

You'd think I was a graduate, huh

But I'm not, yet.

[inner charm]

try looking into indie groups

[slim grove]

so are you still a Tester or do you have a little more input into the creation of each game now?

[lilac forge]

Have but I focus on specialty roles

[inner charm]

still doesnt huert

hurt* it gets your foot in the door

[misty burrow]

I contribute to the tech, in some capacity, is how I can put it without being in breach of anything haha

[inner charm]

hell i dont have a degree and i help beta test for an indie dev team

[silver bone]

I'm glad I'm a tester, if there was any risk of me being higher I would be seriously concerned

[lilac forge]

well if adobe tool thinks all the elements are centred then it must be the screenshot or i'm just bad at adobe XD one of the 2

Whats up Gyro crew?

Indie studios rarely hire producers, nor do they hire lighting artists or hard surface artists

[inner charm]

sup

[silver bone]

Seeing as I consider myself a complete peanut skill-wise

[lilac forge]

Which are super specialized roles

All stable this monday?

[inner charm]

you can still try tho luke

you never know

they might have another role you can fulfill

[lilac forge]

I've looked for a year, barely any indie studio has a position and usually those positions are taken immediately

[slim grove]

i have a hunch it's to do with the game engine, but a contract is a contract, i won't ask further

[silver bone]

Imma be real though

If my high school Polish teacher knew my work is related to verifying quality of written Polish, poor bastard would get a heart attack

[lilac forge]

Honestly at this point I'm so bored of looking for jobs I'm just going to make Battlefield fan art and ping DICE and EA everyday until I get hired

[steady yarrow]

quiz: Who knows where this EA Studio is located (without google)

[inner charm]

doesnt polish have like

50 words for different types of sausage?

[lilac forge]

Vancouver

[blissful rain]

Cologne?

[sage arch]

svalbard

[silver bone]

50 is a stretch

[steady yarrow]

correct

[inner charm]

im sorry i saw a huge list of words from my polish friend and assumed 50

[silver bone]

I wouldn't say that the knowledge of types of sausage has been a skill that helped in my professional career

[blissful rain]

Might have been there once

Not inside though

[steady yarrow]

i was inside there once. pretty neat

[velvet geode]

Come to Denmark of you wanna be in the country that won the euros

[quaint herald]

Sosig knowledge?

[steady yarrow]

the location of the studio is awesome

[wild igloo]

[velvet geode]

Also I didn’t get fucking gojira tickets @coral sand

[coral sand]

Yike, why?

[velvet geode]

They sold out

[silver bone]

Actually, I have been at EA Poland once...

[inner charm]

F

[silver bone]

...but not as an employee

[inner charm]

gojira is lit af

[velvet geode]

Yea

They sold their euro tour tickets today

[silver bone]

I was invited to BF4 gameplay event at EA Poland in... 2013

[velvet geode]

Gone so fast

[silver bone]

Cool memory

[inner charm]

i would love to see them again if they ever play again in the US

[lilac forge]

I remember playing Battlefield V at EA Play 2018

I went on a 50 person killstreak with a tank

[silver bone]

I played BF1 In the name of the Tsar at EA Play 2017

It was comical

[lilac forge]

A DICE dev was watching me and I hear him whispering to another person "Yeah I think we need to nerf the tanks"

I played that one as well!

[silver bone]

We teamstacked irl

[lilac forge]

I remember talking to one of the marketing specialists there

I can't remember his name but he was a bit older

[silver bone]

About 10 Battlefield veterans from Answers HQ (myself included) placed themselves to be on the same team

[lilac forge]

He was super obsessed with Nintendo

Martin Lindell!

[silver bone]

Vs some teenagers who were gloating about how they will own everyone

[lilac forge]

That's his name

[silver bone]

We won 1000-150. In BF1, where you got points for holding even one flag

[wild igloo]

I was there too!

[lilac forge]

OH

@silver bone Were you there in 2018 though?

[misty burrow]

I wish I'd knew if I can talk more about what I did/my current position

[silver bone]

no, only in 2017, I was at the end of my USA lab stint back then

[lilac forge]

Ah damn

I actually have some pretty cool stuff from EA Play though

[silver bone]

My visa expired, like, one month after that

[lilac forge]

Hold on, let me grab some pics

[silver bone]

I have one thing I'm particularly fond of

[leaden notch]

offtopic, but the BF1 exchange has rotated: carcano skins, bomber skins and prybar pieces

[dry vigil]

I see EA Cologne

🙂

[wild igloo]

Damn, awesome man

[lilac forge]

I have another poster with like 60 more signatures

[steady yarrow]

yep.

[lilac forge]

I had EVERYONE from DICE sign my posters

One day I'm going to hang them up when I eventually work there

[silver bone]

Second tag is my personal one with IRL info, so it's a good pairing

[dry vigil]

That's a goal 👍

[lilac forge]

I've kept them in the original plastic so when I move to Sweden I'm going to buy special frames for them

[lilac forge]

Been working at it for nearly 6 years man, I won't ever give up

[dry vigil]

Dedication is always great 🙂

[lilac forge]

Yep!

I've even made an entire game for them

[wild igloo]

I have this souvenir from EA Play 2018 where EA thought I was a girl apparently

[lilac forge]

So when that opportunity comes to send additional materials over for a possible interrview, I can send that over for them to play since they said they play games that people send over

[steady yarrow]

that's kinda

[lilac forge]

I still have my wrist bands!

God dude I miss EA Play

It was so much fun

Meeting everyone there

[earnest vigil]

[silver bone]

I also have this and no bleeding clue where to hang it

[wild igloo]

Agreed, was a lot of fun

[misty burrow]

I wish I still had my old EA badge strap

[lilac forge]

And actually fun fact

I took @jagged crown 's picture at EA Play

Where he stood next to the EA logo in the center

[silver bone]

Mine broke 3 days before my 2019 contract ended -.-

[lilac forge]

RIP

[misty burrow]

I was an IT teacher's assistant 1 year ago, I gave it away to one of the kids that aspired to work for EA.

[silver bone]

That's nice

[lilac forge]

Sweet ❤️

[silver bone]

Actually, hold on, I brought that broken lanyard back

[lilac forge]

Oooh

Show

Since we're all sharing memorabilia

[quaint herald]

Wtf

[visual heron]

niice..though,,han solo's craft misses the escape pod on the front, so it should be lando's millennium falcon no? D:

[lilac forge]

It was for the Solo DLC

They had it at 2018

[visual heron]

ohhh, yeah then it makes sense 😄

[lilac forge]

Dude 2018's was great

Dennis Branvall still remembered me from the year before which was shocking

[lilac forge]

i always enjoy watching https://youtu.be/t3ndwEQWeq0?t=98 The Cherno get in depth about games and game engine tech it's so fun to always watch.

[lilac forge]

That's...a bit lol

I wonder if I met you there in 2017

I tried to talk to as many EA devs as I could

[silver bone]

Well, I wasn't EA back in 2017

[lilac forge]

Fuck my bad

Agh

I confused you with someone else mb

[visual heron]

damn that's so cool

[lilac forge]

OH

[quick thistle]

[lilac forge]

In 2017 they had a gamescon competition for BF2

That was fun

[visual heron]

[misty burrow]

It suddenly dropped from 32C to 25C here haha

[sonic token]

might as well change my theme to light theme

[silver crypt]

I agree with cake man

[lilac forge]

I remember watching the 2018 press conference as we were waiting in line and when the DICE team announced conquest for BF2 everyone was freaking out lol

[inner charm]

[quaint herald]

No monies

[solemn vapor]

I remember getting into the venue at 8AM while everything was still closed lol.

[inner charm]

[steady yarrow]

gamescom is just way to crowded

[lilac forge]

Prob 2022

[wild igloo]

I'd probably be up for that tbh

[steady yarrow]

best is, it starts 1 day after my birthday

[solemn vapor]

I've done that the last 3-4 times always ends up being fun.

[lilac forge]

how to get that role

[wild igloo]

I missed the 2019 one because someone else in our team was better at filming

[slim grove]

[slim grove]

i bet Cologne smells nice

[steady yarrow]

hahahaha i ate like 50 meters away in another restaurant

[inner charm]

dw imagine telling a japanese student your birthday is on august 6th

[lilac forge]

The light theme on discord is so different lets see how long i keep it for 😆

[steady yarrow]

i was there every evening. in the end we were like 80 people. it was so fun

[velvet geode]

[velvet geode]

Löwenbräu Köln was where i ate every evening

'Coming soon to a Discord Nitro near you, the ALL NEW Glacier Colored Polar Role to give you that maximum chill on those very hot days"

[wild igloo]

And penguins

Wow Hess hates penguins

[slim grove]

the heck is Breakaway?

[sonic token]

as you may notice bringing in an icy snowy colour would interfere with DICE/EA or Moderator colour :)

Shouldn't EA developers be orange and admins be teal...since you know...the EA logo is orange

I'm colorblind btw

[inner charm]

F

[wild igloo]

But that looks distinct enough even to me

[terse shuttle]

how mcuh storage is it going to take

[wild igloo]

No one knows yet

[lilac forge]

well i thought their logo was more this color https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Electronic_Arts_Logo_2020.png

[steady yarrow]

my eyes

[lilac forge]

It's a like a mix of orange and red

[misty burrow]

I think it's based on 2042's color.

[inner charm]

bloodorange

[lilac forge]

Hmm

[slim grove]

if i had to guess: ≈100gb, i would have thought that it'd be more than BFV

[terse shuttle]

makes sense

[inner charm]

yo konpaku, just fyi latin names only

[haughty terrace]

On xbox its says 50GB

[slim grove]

interesting

[inner charm]

50gb is alot smaller than what cod mw had

[lilac forge]

You forget DLC

[wild igloo]

Doesn't matter since there'll be a day 1 patch too

[terse shuttle]

yes

[lilac forge]

Remember when BF4 was like 30GB?

[inner charm]

would still be smaller than cod mw

[terse shuttle]

yes

[inner charm]

cod mw was at like 150gb peak?

[lilac forge]

Now BF4 is almost 70GB

[inner charm]

in fact isnt that smaller than BL3?

nope nvm slightly larger than bl3

[inner charm]

but thats over the course of like 5-6 years

cod mw went to 120gb over the course of a year and a half

[lilac forge]

Also speaking of COD, who in their right mind would buy that game when BF2042 and Halo are coming out this year?

[inner charm]

have no idea

[lilac forge]

Especially with all the rumours of crunch and the overall game being a shitshow

[inner charm]

i still need to see gameplay of both

[solemn vapor]

im a grill now

[quaint herald]

People who want to play cod rlly

Oh no

[inner charm]

very pretty

[lilac forge]

COD's gameplay loop is so boring

Spawn, run for 2 seconds, shoot, die

[inner charm]

each bf felt unique in its own way

[velvet geode]

[lilac forge]

No objective, just mindless garbage

[inner charm]

the only really unique cod was advanced warfare

[quaint herald]

It was fun before but now its shit because the games have no soul

[lilac forge]

MW was a breathe of fresh air for COD but with everything they do, it's one step forward 50 steps back

[visual heron]

you sound like a mother trying to beat around the bush who her favourite kid is ;D

[lilac forge]

And Cold War was a disaster

[slim grove]

and BO2 (at the time)

[inner charm]

tbf, i dont play favorites, id pit them in gaming duels to fight to be the favorite

[slim grove]

i guess more for setting than gameplay

[inner charm]

best of 5

[visual heron]

gladiator style, nice

[lilac forge]

We ranking Battlefields again?

[silver crypt]

Sheesh dot com

[inner charm]

BF2142 best BF

[visual heron]

lolmao

[lilac forge]

TRAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[inner charm]

this rickroll i enjoy

[visual heron]

bf3 = best maps
bf4 = best overall balance
bfh = best theme
bf1 = best atmosphere
bfv = best gunplay

[lilac forge]

After going to the light side of discord i have switched visual studio code to light theme

[inner charm]

you forgot several bf games in there

namely bf2142

[visual heron]

yeah, it's only the modern ones 😦

[inner charm]

F

[misty burrow]

This is horrible

[inner charm]

F

[visual heron]

bc2: NAM deserves to be higher than bf1

[lilac forge]

HAHA

[inner charm]

the hero we needed

[lilac forge]

Batlefield 2142 is best Battlefield

Don't even try to argue

It was the most ambitious one to date (not counting 2042)

[inner charm]

2042*

[lilac forge]

Shite

You know what I mean

[inner charm]

2142 was a game ahead of its time

[frail skiff]

you can not put BFV above BF1

nope

[lilac forge]

I just did

Deal with it

BFV is the superior game in every regard

[inner charm]

bfv has better gunplay than bf1 tho the operations in bf1 are far better than bfv

[lilac forge]

not going to lie it's burning the shit out of my eyes it's so bright can't read the code as much if it because too much i'm going to have to go to the dark like with visual studio code just to write code.

[quaint herald]

Bf5 above 1 yes

Literally better gameplay

[lilac forge]

Infinitely better

[visual heron]

bf1 = sw:bf3

[quaint herald]

Bf1 had a great atmosphere and was actually really stable

[lilac forge]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-avengers-avengers-endgame-dont-say-that-name-gif-20019194

[slim grove]

i would say that BFV is between S and A, it should be in S for it's gunplay, but it should be in A for clunkiness

[misty burrow]

If they made me use that theme for as much as I use the dark one, I'd die.

[visual heron]

i said, battlefield 1's gameplay feels like it's pretty much battlefront 3 >:D

[inner charm]

i wish BFV had pacific operations

[lilac forge]

The only thing I didn't like about BFV, the ONLY thing, and you guys are going to crucify me for this: Conquest

[coral sand]

Thanos

[misty burrow]

And my eyeballs would probably liquefy

[lilac forge]

Conquest was bad imo in BFV

[inner charm]

howtf do you play bf but hate conquest?

[lilac forge]

HAHA

The maps were too big

[inner charm]

one of these things dont make sense

[lilac forge]

And just general poor map design

Lack of cover in areas where it needed to be

[inner charm]

the only map i didnt like was the panzerbreak? map

[lilac forge]

CPs where it made no sense

[inner charm]

the huge ass farm map

[visual heron]

there are two groups in bf. people that like cqc stuff like rush/tdm and shit. and then the bf people that prefer big maps like conquest and stuff

[inner charm]

i like both

[lilac forge]

I like conquest, just not in BFV

[inner charm]

[quaint herald]

Conquest wasn't bad in bf5 but nor was it good

[inner charm]

im conquest, operations, rush

[cursive star]

Bf2042 will not be for you then

[quaint herald]

Its pretty standard for battlefield

[lilac forge]

Breakthrough was definitely the best mode in Battlefield V

[visual heron]

needed moar vehicle spawns

[steady yarrow]

Big Maps

[inner charm]

nah if he likes bf2142 he will like 2042

[lilac forge]

I think I'll like conquest in there since there are focus points now

[inner charm]

the 2142 maps were fucking huge

[lilac forge]

Yeah but you see

[visual heron]

pacific was good due it had maps on ze vehicles

[lilac forge]

2142 was different...

[quaint herald]

Breakthrough, frontlines and outpost are the best game modes for bf5

[cursive star]

What was 2142 like?

[inner charm]

chaotic

[slim grove]

Breakthrough is enough for me

[lilac forge]

2142 was something else man

God that game was so fucking good

[quaint herald]

2142 was different, theyre all different. The size is standard amongst battlefield.

[inner charm]

titan mode best mode

[lilac forge]

IT IS

Titan mode is the best

I really hope the new mode on the 22nd is a titan mode

[quaint herald]

Last episode of the season for invincible

[lilac forge]

I'd LOVE to see prototype titans in 2042

[inner charm]

SAME

[quaint herald]

We got one in bf4 and I hope they re use it

[lilac forge]

I really hope so too

[slate tinsel]

imagine this

[inner charm]

i dont think i got to see the one in bf4

[lilac forge]

They were originally going to have that prototype Titan take off in BF4 but cut it because of PS3 and 360

That's why the pods were made

Because they were going to launch players onto the titan

[steady yarrow]

yep Gamescom. love it

[inner charm]

ye ive never played hangar 21

[quaint herald]

Id love to go to gamescom

[inner charm]

[quaint herald]

With some friends

[lilac forge]

Hangar 21 best map in BF4

Don't @ me

[inner charm]

i should do a priv session and check it out

[lilac forge]

same well for vscode i might have to go and use the dark theme because this is just getting worse looking at the code this is a light theme that is high contrast.

[inner charm]

alec please stop

you dont have to do this

[lilac forge]

@misty burrow Hear me out...Unreal Engine 5 light mode

[lilac forge]

I have no friends here

[inner charm]

[sage arch]

Sweden seems pog

[lilac forge]

Sweden is pog

They got meatballs n shit

[sage arch]

Probably better than UK

[lilac forge]

Eh

[inner charm]

britain has good cheese tho

[lilac forge]

I'd choose UK over Sweden tbh

[inner charm]

not too keen on their food tho

[lilac forge]

well for vscode it's going to the dark theme as i do want to see my code and not be blinded by the light but discord will be in light mode to see how long i will keep it on 😆 but if i ever get board at least i can change the dark theme with https://vscodethemes.com/

I have more friends in the UK and there's one other studio I'd like to work for besides DICE that is in the UK

[inner charm]

STOP youre killing my lungs

As long as it isn’t in London you’re good
