i am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!

The vast majority of people just want a computer to do computer things and could care less about what it does other than that. Microsoft will continue to make installing Linux a huge pain and the manufacturers of hardware will continue to prefer windows for kickbacks and internal politics. There will be an uptick, but the fragmented ecosystem, lack of support for even just a handful of programs (thanks anti-cheat), and the fact they dominate the market will mean windows users will almost all use whatever windows forces them to use.

Anyone who thinks this is the last straw underestimates the tolerance of the general population to anti user BS. I would say the only thing that would meaningfully change market share would be if somehow MS changed every background to a dick and refused to change it because that is what their product team said people wanted. Even then it would only be like 5% who would string together both the will and the know how to switch their OS.

Yay for Linux because it feels like the easiest way to upgrade, search and install. Scoop for windows because it is sane, only user level permission, and is surprisingly up to date with a large catalog. Also easy to add new entries.

I thought the vehicles handled better in BF2 and 2142. Destruction mechanism is fun and engaging. Wish it had the ability to host servers as I do feel queuing can be a pain. Gameplay is extremely smooth and the graphics do not bother me one bit.

Given it is still under development I am super excited to see where it ends up. All my comments are nit picks of an otherwise excellent BF game with developers that are not EA.

Have had dark thoughts of some sort. I am reminded that I am an animal with the benefit of societial carrots and sticks to have raised me in a way that is morally good. But deep down, given a different upbringing, I am probably capable of things I would find appalling and shameful.

I feel like every guy has had those kinds of moments. I feel like it is a slightly rarer occurrence in women given they have less of the horny rage hormone of testosterone. Obviously your milage may vary, but those teen years are a hell of a ride.

Just got Battlebit. Really reminds me of the good ol BF2 and BF bad company. Just a fun time.
