Qahlel

I've dedicated over 4,000 hours to the Battlefield series, with Battlefield 4 being my absolute favorite for its immersive, tactical gameplay and vibrant community. I eagerly played every title in the series until Battlefield 2042, which I found unplayable due to its departure from the core elements that made the franchise special. My frustration stems from a trend I see in companies like EA and even Samsung: chasing the "flavor of the year" instead of enhancing their unique strengths. If I wanted a Fortnite-style experience or an Apple-like ecosystem, I would have chosen those—I want Battlefield to be Battlefield.

One of my biggest issues with modern gaming, including Battlefield 2042, is the shift from community servers to matchmaking lobbies. I’ve never enjoyed lobbies, as they prioritize quick, transient matches over meaningful player interactions. Community servers allowed players to build relationships, strategize together, and create lasting memories, fostering a sense of camaraderie. Playing in lobbies feels like facing bots—there’s no human connection, and you’re unlikely to see those players again, making the experience feel empty and disconnected.

Gaming used to be my way of meeting like-minded people, and my Steam friends list is filled with players I met through Battlefield and other games. However, I haven’t added a new friend in years, as modern gaming’s focus on fast-paced, disposable matches makes it nearly impossible to form meaningful connections. I hope developers like EA return to the series’ roots, emphasizing tactical gameplay and community-driven servers to recapture the magic that made Battlefield a platform for both thrilling gameplay and lasting friendships.

Istanbul is the city where the people feed both the cats and the birds in an incomparable level to rest of the world. I remember visiting a smash burger joint near emirgan area, where the owner is feeding stray cats with burger patties... Weirdly beautiful

I had to google it but found it for you. It was this place: https://goo.gl/maps/cEEk21F9nP5rMvAG8

I recently visited Istanbul as well. Too my surprise, I ate the best burger I had in my lifetime. It was a smash burger joint in Emirgan district. Forgot the name. but remember finding it on google maps. Give it a try if you are passing by.

After trying Joplin (for several years), I finally decided on Obsidian instead.

It is the better product and has a better 3rd-party support.

every monopoly is created by the government (read: state and laws).

I always turn off all animations from developer settings. It makes the phone feel smoother and responsive.

make the subscription super cheap at the start and lifetime access should have the opposite: unreasonably high price. subscription will look like a value deal in comparison.

3 weeks ago, I had just bought a mechanical keyboard for the first time in my life. I didn't have a chance to use it properly until I found out about this site. Thank you.

Safari and Chrome have the exact same goals as they are maternal twins. They are both designed to monopolize their ecosystem and suppress the competition. Firefox is the odd one out.

that last bit gave me a huge chuckle

This was the greatest comment I have ever read.

I love FF but Youtube is a lag fast compared to chrome.

Actually, this strategy works for google. Google enters these markets and then kills it for any possible future competitors. In the short run, it's a loss, in the long run, you nullify new possible competitors.

As the world becomes a more digital place, we cannot forget about the human connection.

If you're going to build a business that's based on community, your business has to have community in it.

If your business is the right business, then money will never be an issue.

>>> I do remember one site that allowed me to do download SG1 episodes (about 128kbit, and this was probably cinepak or some form of mpeg1 compression) over a modem, and that was a lifeline.

When did we agree that everything has to be a monthly subscription and we shouldn't own anything?

I genuinely hate the impracticable UI design being pushed on TV-&-Movies in the last decade. Normies expect similar interface from everything but don't even understand that it's bad.

It's like putting yogurt on Pizza dough instead of mozzarella and calling it New York Pizza. Please stop...
