Guys... you know better than to talk about that. :/

you know as soon as people start talking about playing it already people are going to go find it. besides talking about is allowed now.

After some frank discussion among senior staff, we have decided to change the rules a bit, related to discussion of leaked games. As long as there are no postings of links or how / where to download these games, we will allow talk about them in these forums. Please be advised that the gaming mods will be watching closely, so please limit the discussions to the games, and not how to obtain them!

no rules broken, deleting posts was completely unjustified.

Yes, you're allowed to talk about the game. But don't say that it's leaked and then admit to playing it because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make the connection.

That rule is about the discussion of games before their release date. It isn't about openly mentioning that X game has leaked and you played it.

Mine got deleted as well. No biggie.

Though honestly, unless people are legitimate reviewers on some game site, the source of where these games are originating from is obvious.

People are asking how it is we're playing the game early and we're somewhat stating the obvious. No one is saying 'here's how'.

It is what it is though.

That said, the most important component in this game being multiplayer isn't available to the early birds.

So we ALL have to wait for tuesday for the true bf experience. :)

SP is just a bonus if anything.

and no one went OMG OMG OMG THE GAME LEAKED AND I'M PLAYING IT. saying it leaked onto the internet isn't going to change anything. the rules say "As long as there are no postings of links or how / where to download these games, we will allow talk about them in these forums"

that never occured

Well that depends... the MP alone is well worth the retail price for me, personally.

I go back to 1942 man. And BF has ALWAYS been about the MP.

SP wasn't even present.

So it's fine with me if they want to appeal to the masses with a SP/Coop component. Just a plus in my book.

Coop I'm sure will be great!

That is for me to decide. No posts were deleted and my decision isn't final until I look at all the recent posts.

No posts were deleted. Some were hidden so that I may review them and two have been left hidden.

Anyway, enough with the discussion of moderation.

My apologies if you took anything I said as disrespectful.

Surely not my intention.

I wasn't questioning your motives/actions at all. As I'm sure they are with your best intentions.

Anyways, agreed. Let's get back to discussing how underwhelming the SP component appears to be :D

      I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.

      They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
