I feel slightly more positive towards BFV after playing for about 3 hours last night, but it's still not a purchase for me. It's seriously lacking in the "spectacle" of previous entries.

I'm not following? What "benefit" are you specifically referring to?

That's correct.

Or openers. Or middle relief.

Doctors claim that he lost 40% of his blood.

Dozens of Kurdish militants who had fought with US forces in the fight against Islamic State have now allied with Syrian regime forces in Idlib province for what is likely to be the war’s final, bloody battle.

Just being in your own damned apartment while black.

Considering how badly Omorosa's book has tanked, I'd say it would suffer the same fate.

Amazon Strong-Arming PC Manufacturers over Tariffs We’ve heard from multiple industry contacts that the US tariffs that may go into effect on September 6th are causing trouble for PC component manufacturers. The new tariffs are expected to impact component import cost by anywhere from 10% to 25%, depending on final decisions at the USTR, and those costs will largely be passed on to consumers. Right now, we know that video cards, motherboards, coolers, power supplies, and likely cases will be impacted. Most manufacturers with US-based warehouses have been importing as much product as possible before the decision, as the tariffs will only impact cost of items not yet in port stateside. Every add-in board partner is impacted and every power supply maker is affected, from what we’re told. As for Amazon’s role in all of this, our sources at PC component manufacturers have indicated that Amazon is strong-arming part makers into their existing price positions. Several manufacturers have indicated to Amazon a wish to raise MSRP to cover the potential 25% import, as almost none of these products have margins higher than 10%, so the tariffs will make them unprofitable. Amazon has responded with notices that it will not permit manufacturers to pass along increases to consumers. While this is noble in some respect, component manufacturers simply can’t sell on Amazon at a loss -- they’d go out of business. The current proposed work-around is to discontinue existing parts on Amazon and recreate the inventory with new product IDs and higher prices. The time cost of doing this must also be accounted for.

Social media would just get lost in the noise, but the film boards would be a viable option.

I honestly believe that you should put the word out as discretely as possible through the film community, especially among minority members of it.

It's not a slur - feel free to use it.

I'd have to say that my primary reservations about the game aren't really technical as much as they're "atmospheric". It simply doesn't feel as "grand" as BF1.

Tesla's chief accounting officer (who was with the firm less than a month) and head of human resources resign on the same day.

This is the video that @atom631 referenced earlier. It addresses some of the technical issues with the beta.

I wish that it was only marijuana that Musk consumes.

LOL no LOL

Battlefield V is "competent"...and if you've ever heard me on the D1Pcast talk about games as being "competent", you'll know that's faint praise indeed.

It's "fine". It's just "fine". Not nearly as engaging as BF1 which felt like a "war" in comparison. The chaos that made BF1 interesting isn't there. The gripping sound engineering isn't there. The freakin' behemoths aren't there. And Rotterdam really seems like an emptier version of Amiens. It just feels far too "sterile" and "orderly". I'll be playing more until the end of the beta, but as of now, this is a "pass".

DICE is launching the game with 8 modes. That's absolute insanity and practical evidence of quantity over quality.

What was it?

This is a Treyarch CoD

The beta is capped at 80, but they're gonna try to push higher (115?) for release.
