I considered the cost of the hardware and the time I would spend getting it all configured, then collecting the content from various sources.

Ultimately decided that $189 was worth it. I already have too many WIPs and something like this has been sitting on my ToDo list for years already, this is a great shortcut

Getting out of S mode is a few clicks away though. There’s a certain kind of user who actually benefits from it, and nobody is locked in.

RT’s restrictions were primarily architecture based (ARM)

There is no better archive utility than 7-Zip IMO

Just wish there was a MacOS version

I’ve played every Battlefield since 1942. The series does a great job creating large-scale warfare while keeping it action-packed, avoiding the longer lulls found in other milsim games. There’s a degree of intensity to the combat that I don’t really feel in most other FPS titles.

They’re regularly on sale on Steam for $1.99.

Battlefield 4 is coming up on 12 years old and still has a fair amount of active servers. Might just be me getting old but I find the gameplay really holds up. Compared to Battlefield 3, the whole battle pass / premium currency aspect was really souring at the time, but it’s not all that bad now.

For me, each release since then has been increasingly disappointing, though I still played them and had my fun. I was hyped for WWI combat in BF1, but they had to go and put fully automatic weapons with reflex sights in every soldier’s hands. Thought maybe we’d wind up with bolt action only hardcore servers, but that didn’t really pan out. Battlefield V brought things back to WW2 again, but it felt ruined yet again with an overabundance of attachments and letting everyone spawn with any other faction’s weapons. Completely immersion breaking.

The best modern Battlefield game was BattleBit Remastered, which wasn’t even developed by EA/Dice and had very simple Roblox graphics - seems like things aren’t going so good anymore.

If you like Star Wars, the Battlefront games are pretty amusing.

A lot of the Battlefield games have a single player campaign that ranges from generic FPS to actually having some pretty cool mechanics sprinkled in.
