I've been playing the hell out of Remnant 2. No idea how i missed it when it first released
I haven't touched that one in years. I'd take you up on it except a new Destin y DLC dropped this week.
Fun fact though: I haven't touched the game since April 28. I haven't touched any FPS since April 28. Y'all have any idea how sick I got my first few times playing D2? I've had to recalibrate my brain to play an FPS. Y'all laugh, but some of you know that is a real thing.
Oh, RIP to the outside world.
I know that feeling. I can't play 3rd person shooters or I'll get hella motion sick. PUBG??? I'll throw the fuck up. When I was playing COD and took any sort of break say, 3 weeks, it would take me a couple of hours to get the eyes right. That wasn't as bad, but I did get a headache. The FPS motion sickness is real.
I play until the nausea starts and then I'll do something else until the nausea passes. Wash, rinse, repeat until my brain adjusts. I had the same thing happen to a lesser extent when I went from a 24" flat monitor to a 35" curved and I was playing every day. My guess is how we process our peripheral vision is the cause, at least with the larger monitor.
It doesn't help that the new D2 expansion uses this spark ball thing to move around portions of the map. You're moving faster than you normally would but are in confined spaces so you have some crazy motion graphics going on plus this roller coaster type movement. I'll keep swapping game and life activities until I adjust.
Bungie...not only is the list of fairly significant bugs quite long (glad you didn't fire your QA department. Wait...), but it admitted Matterspark is causing motion sickness.

Good job, Bungie. Your front office is trying to kill that company.

My biggest complaint about POE2, unless the game has changed, is leveling SUCKS. It might be the longest slog to level up of any game I’ve played. It’s been 4 months since I played it, so maybe it was improved?

BF6 looks like a BF4 revisit. Interesting.

I noticed a change in playing styles with known 2042 Youtubers between the beta for 6 and 2042. There's something about 2042 that makes people go from toxic in 2042 to PTFO for real in 6 and not toxic or trolling. However the lack of reviving those nearby was obvious and notoriously still a thing being carried over.
Killing people nearby before reviving is a thing. Not reviving even when it's safe to do so is zero excuses for real. And real talk, reviving is an incentive for people to PTFO. SMH, some people never learn. Smoke is not just for pushing or blinding snipers, it's also for rescuing your own to save tickets on your teams.
Looks like engineers can now carry both AT and AA at the same time, no more farming from pilots or a pub smashing crew without being fly swatted and that is excellent IMO. I think that there should be resupply points so medics not doing reviving and only resupplying themselves can no longer be toxic in resupplies at least for engineers and assaulters needing to be badly topped off.

Not PTFO'ing can for real kill a game or game mode. Objectives are great if you squad up with comms, horrible without and one reason I stopped playing Overwatch 2. "I'm slaying out. Get gud scrub!" Oh, fuck off. Unless you "slaying out" allows the team to cap a point or move a flag, you're useless.
Rarely is that player useful.
