Yeah, but were you bored and going out of your mind from tedium up until the 5 seconds of terror that preceded the whole dead thing. I read Tales from the South Pacific as a lad, and something that always stuck with me from that book was the weeks to months at a time of being bored and half mad from tedium and shitty conditions, broken up by occasional moments of sheer terror and stress, followed by more tedium.
In Battlefield 2042? It sure as fuck feels that way.

My grandad, when he wasn't struck with Joe Biden syndrome (Dementia), fought in four wars as a fighter pilot. He would tell me stories of the shit that took place before the dog fights. It sounded awfully boring and miserable.
 
Reading comprehension really is low on this subforum, isn't it? Pissmaster's only been around for 3 years, yet his post count surpasses mine. The amount of posts he made in a year is 2/3rds of the posts I've made since I joined.

That is, unless you're trying to tell me 2.5k posts a year is having a life.

Yes, you are better than us lowly peasants. Now fuck off and take you worthless self righteousness somewhere else.
 
Trump and DSP will still be alive, champ chilling, when the heat death of the universe comes around

Real war is slow and gay. It's not Call of Duty. Most of it is "hurry up and wait".
Imagine how grueling the world wars must have been, really makes us look like inpatient whiners when we get mad that there isn't an explosion every 5 seconds
 
No shit. Glenn Greenwald and surfer mommy talked about this on their twitter feed:

I take serious umbrage with the fact that a Nation State of their own free will can't decide what they want to do with their own nation's future because of a retarded paranoid neighbor. Ukraine already gave Russia Crimea which is a vital area that supplies water and electricity in the Region, they surrender their nukes, and they voided and military escalations that NATO may provide and that still wasn't enough.
 
Dude this Verdun shit is so fucking boring, just a bunch of artillery and an occasional recon plane. When the fuck is it gonna pop off?
War isn't as fast as a lot of people seem to think it is, but this does strike me as a bit slower than what you normally expert of Russia. Historically, the Russian gameplan has been: 1) Unleash a massive fuckton of artillery. 2) ZERG RUSH!

Maybe even Russia is at the point where they really want to limit the casualties in this shitshow. Great Patriotic War worked, but holy shit was that a lot of dead people.

I mean did you see the troop buildup? Everyone did. If that was a reason for not telling their own troops they were invading, then the Russian leadership are retarded beyond belief.

Yeah. Again all of these reports could be disinfo. It could be that a couple of paratroopers got lost and are just repeating a lie, meanwhile the Ukrainian guardsmen are being slaughtered north of Hostomel. It could be a psyop, with actors using fake uniforms. Or Russia could really be this retarded in which case the war is unequivocally and utterly over.
Just saying that keeping troops in the dark until they need to know something isn't exactly x files tier unexplained phenomena. It has some pretty obvious reasoning behind it.
