Yes. Especially the systems 2.0 revamp combined with the Phantom Liberty expansion.
I am a pretty big fan boy though and have sunk a few hundred hours in to it since launch. The only place I've really experienced issues is on some PS5 builds and the Series S Xbox. Otherwise, it runs solid on PC across the board (Steam Deck, Gerforce Now, 3080 and 5080 desktop, 4080 laptop, etc...).
I wouldn't hold out too much hope on that. I started on a pixel 1 then a 3xl (both had power button fingerprint sensors that were awesome) then moved to a 5, 6 and 7 with in screen readers. They're all crap. I gave up using the one on my 7 almost entirely.
Google can't seem to get that part figured out. It is exacerbated on custom ROM's in my experience as well (Graphene mainly on the 7).
Currently using a flip6 with power button reader and it was a revelation going back to a working fingerprint reader.
I think we've been pressure cooked as a country (speaking as an American as that's my only real, long term reference) and maybe a society thanks to social media to amplify thay hate and outrage.
If its any small consolation, I think the communities around here are hurt and frustrated and learning how to express thay and navigate it in a space where immediate censorship isn't as likely too occur.
Its a lot like the way we used to stretch our legs and push boundaries in the early Internet days. It wasn't easy to get mod banned on most irc servers, but it did happen. In between those moments though, you could get away with saying some vile stuff.
Don't take it to heart, take it as a vent in a place where we are somewhat protected from the hate speech the other side slings.
In my real life I'm much more sympathetic. Even to the point of empathy exhaustion. But when it's strangers online exponentially far away from me on the Dunbar scale, I laugh, ridicule and taunt.
This is my relief. Same way I'll text a buddy and shit on him when his team is getting crushed in a game.
Empathy and class warfare are locked in a timeless battle anymore, but I think there's still room to point at fucking idiots and enjoy their suffering. After all, they'd do the same for us.
For anyone looking for a similar device in the interim (long battery, open source) the PineTime is a great device.
So I decided to jump into some call of duty whatever the most current one is now that it's free on game pass.
The first two matches I was spawned into were on shipment. A map that I remember being absolute trash back in the day but it still is. The third match it went to put me in dropped me into that same map as well so I quit before it finished loading. Following this it dumped me into a match in progress where my team was behind by 25 points and there was 12 kills left before it was over.
My question is, why do players seem to vote for this map over any other option most of the time? What is the fun or enjoyment that I am missing out on this box of spam? It's literally nothing but spawn killing and spawn dying.
If you are a person that enjoys these, can you legitimately explain why? I'm not trying to make a troll complaint or anything. Just genuinely interested.
Is this what the modern call of duty experience is like?
Jesus Christ. Was over there from the states last year and Ireland is a lovely country (if yer not a cunt to the locals). Have some friends from there coming this way next month. Hope this doesn't fuck it up.
So exhausted by this oppressive regimes ability to crush every bit of hope and happiness we might try to have.
