sym.gg (formerly Symthic) have dropped (work-in-progress) gun stats for #BF6

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to unlock a bipod and scope for the TR7

No reason

Conlangs mentioned

(On that note, I need to get back into conlanging myself)
Ĉu vi sciis, ke ekzistas Esperanta versio de Vikipedio?

A constructed language or "conlang" like the Esperanto above is deliberately designed rather than naturally evolved. Some are made to communicate, others – like Elvish or Klingon  – are fictional.

Listened to Kid A for the first time the other day

Not sure how I went 26 years without it, because it's superb

In other news, the BF6 grind continues, I made another stupidly mountainous Cities: Skylines map, and I did my first commando mission on Helldivers 2

I had been trying to play #BF6 on M&K (having switched to PC), but today I caved and plugged my controller in

Honestly, I think I just suck on M&K

It's funny how actually being able to aim and use movement affects your gameplay lol

Went from barely hitting 1.0 K/D to 2.0+ immediately

Finally played #BF6 again

I thought I'd try Domination for some CQB, and it was...actually fun???

The game definitely still has some core problems, but the Domination experience certainly delivered something on par with previous titles' CQB modes

I haven't played #BF6 at all in the last month or so

Every time I get an urge to play it, I remember the hit reg issues, note that they haven't been patched out yet and proceed to play somet else

It's a shame that one of my most anticipated games has ended up like this; here's hoping it improves

You know you've been playing Skyrim for too long when you think to yourself "I should quicksave" before operating a plug socket

How’s everyone else's 2026 been so far?

Proper Crimbo!
Britons tend to dislike people referring to Christmas as 'Crimbo', but not as much as they dislike people calling it 'Crimble' or 'Chrissie'

Chrissie: 78% dislike
Crimble: 68%
Crimbo: 46%
Holiday season: 42%
Noel: 29%
Yuletide: 24%
Festive season: 20%
Xmas: 16%

Just watched a YouTube video on my phone

The whole thing was split up by mind-numbing slop adverts, then when the video ends and I go to read the comments, another slop advert plays

Annoyed, I went to do my Duolingo, only to get a pop-up re a collab with Genshin Impact

The modern internet sucks

I've gone back to #Stellaris to try a playthrough in a tiny galaxy, plus it's my first time as a gestalt consciousness!

I'm waiting for the upcoming patches to #BF6 before picking it up again; the current time-to-die experience is so frustrating that it's sapping the fun out of the game for me

After hearing about Zootropolis 2, I thought I'd finally watch the first one – it’s universally acclaimed, so why not give it a go?

It was, of course, an excellent film (go Shakira), but what struck me is this:

I thought it was a recent film, only a few years old at most

It came out in 2016

The SCW-10 is basically the RSC SMG from Battlefield 1:

• Extremely high damage at close range
• Still very good damage at medium range (rivalling ARs)
• Excellent handling
• Small magazine capacity to compensate

Easily my favourite gun in the game thus far

It kinda sucks that I feel the need to check that any new music I come across is real before I listen to it

There's AI slop around every corner
November 28, 2025 at 9:47 AM
I've spent a fair few hours with #BF6 now, and my assessment of the multiplayer is more or less the same as for the open beta:

The game has a lot to offer and scratches that classic Battlefield itch, but the excessively fast TTK/TTD hinders every aspect of the game that I've experienced so far

Me and the wife have been watching season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, thinking it was an old season that we'd missed, only to find out that we've caught up and that the grand finale is next week

Ladies, start your engines! #TeamBones

I may have stayed up till 01:30 playing Kerbal Space Program, but by Jeb it was worth it

I landed a Kerbal on Gilly for my first time ever and got him back with less than 300 m/s of delta-V to spare (nothing like aerobraking 60 km above Kerbin at ~3,500 m/s)

That brave, brave Kerbal

Battlefield 6 campaign: done!

I went into it with low expectations based on what I'd heard, but it was a perfectly fine campaign

Nothing groundbreaking, but it was varied enough to keep me engaged, plus I appreciated the references to previous Battlefield games

Now for multiplayer...

Rather than doing something productive like reading a book or playing Battlefield 6, me and my wife have been watching Celebrity Traitors

Totally worth it
November 15, 2025 at 2:20 PM
Watched Interstellar again

Made me want to play Kerbal Space Program

(No, I still haven't bought Battlefield 6)

Just went to see Palestine 36

It tells the story of the 1936-39 Arab revolt from the perspective of relatable characters and on a small scale that makes it easy to grasp, all with sublime acting

Whether you know a little or a lot about the history, I strongly recommend that you watch this film

I ended up watching this video earlier to give me some ideas for Skyrim, since my current playthrough has ended up getting boring (using "meta" loadouts, taking on too many quests at once, etc.)

I think I'm finally going to bite the bullet and make an evil character...

This playthrough of Stellaris has been a blast

I've conquered a fallen empire, defeated the Contingency, conquered half the galaxy with my federation buddies and – just tonight – completed the archaeological project at Ultima Vigilis (I won't spoil it, but it's...eerie)

Cracking game

Some serious classics were played last night

Y&T's most famous albums are now over 40 years old, yet Dave Meniketti sounds better than ever

Great concert!

(It'd've been better without the cheap-looking genAI visuals, but I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse there)

I saw a post about Elder Kings 2

Interested, I looked into it, and it's an Elder Scrolls-themed mod for Crusader Kings III

Interested again, I watched an hour-long tutorial on CK3, which described it as one of the most complex strategy games ever made

So anyway, I've just re-downloaded Stellaris

Battlefield 6 is just around the corner, but I'm still on a Skyrim bender

My khajiit mage needs me!
