Australian culture-use of the word 'Bananabender'
Quote AI Overview Banana bender A "banana bender" is an Australian slang term for a person who lives in or is a native of the state of Queensland. The term is a humorous, sometimes derogatory, reference to the state’s large banana-growing industry, implying Queenslanders spend their time putting the bend into straight bananas. [1, 2, 3] Key Aspects of the Term: • Origin: The term dates back to at least 1937, with records confirming its use for Queenslanders by 1940. It stems from the stereotype of Queensland being "bananaland". • Context: It is largely considered an affectionate or funny nickname, rather than a deeply offensive insult. • Related Terms: Queensland is sometimes referred to as "bananaland" and the Queensland border as the "banana curtain". • Alternative Name: People from Queensland are also sometimes called "Bananalanders". [1, 2, 3] The term is widely recognized across Australia, particularly by residents of southern states referring to Queenslanders, and is a staple of Australian slang. [1, 2], EA forced an Australian using the tag: "Bananabender", to change their username, because some person decided to 'take offence' at the name. All I can say is EA did not research the meaning of 'bananabender.Search the Australian National University - School of Literature and Linguistics - Type in - bananabender'. It gives you this definition: banana bender A Queenslander. The term derives from the joking notion (as perceived from the southern states of Australia) that Queenslanders spend their time putting bends into bananas. An article from 15 July 1937 in the Queenslander provides a forerunner to the term when a man is asked by the Queen what his occupation is: "I'm a banana-bender". Further to enlighten her Majesty he explained that bananas grew straight on the trees, and so just before they ripened, his was the job to mount the ladder, and with a specialised twist of the wrist, put into the fruit the Grecian bend that was half its charm. The association of bananas with Queensland ('banana land') is based on the extensive banana-growing industry in tropical Queensland. The Queensland border has been called the Banana curtain and Brisbane has been called Banana city. Banana bender, in reference to a Queenslander, is first recorded in 1940 and is till commonly heard. 1964 D. Lockwood Up the Track: We are so close to Queensland that I think we should hop over the border. What do you say to a quick look at the banana-benders? 2011 Northern Star (Lismore) 11 July: Should the Matilda's [sic] have won last night or the Netball Diamonds see off New Zealand, Anna Bligh will doubtless claim it was due to the preponderance of banana benders in the squads or at the very least the result of a Gold Coast holiday during their formative years. EA - reinstate the player you banned. As a Queenslander (FYI for you Americans - Queensland is a state in Australia. Australia is an indepentant soverign country with our own culture) your decision insulted me and I want an apology!
BF2042. Unable to load into matches.
When I try to enter a match, it finds me, then there's a black screen and I'm thrown out into the lobby. But at the same time, other modes are loading. Can you help me to fix it? Laptop configurations: https://shop.lenovo.ua/ru/notebooks/noutbuk-lenovo-legion-5-15ahp10-eclipse-black-83m0001kra.html?srsltid=AfmBOooKYYEf6RRf5Q9BXOXMB6DWn3aQDnIVyHXRmSsY0YyGOlCy_2Ig CM edit: Edited title to better reflect issue
There is a major bug in Spearhead Map.
Why does Spearhead always have this weird funky thing going on with topography. Look at the ground, it's like a weird metallic pink color and this has been going on now for like the last 3 months. Spearhead is the only map where this is happening. When will this be fixed? I'm 100% certain that everything on my end is fixed, so this has to be a server-side glitch.
Bring back 64-player Conquest & Close Quarters Conquest in BF2042
128-player Conquest is too chaotic：Too many players, vehicles, and overcrowded objectives ruin the classic Battlefield infantry/vehicle balance. Many players, including me, prefer the tactical, focused 64-player experience that BF2042 previously offered. Close Quarters Conquest was extremely popular：It provided fast-paced, intense infantry combat on smaller maps, which was a fan favorite and filled a key niche in the game. Removing it reduced variety and player engagement. Community demand is clear：Countless players have requested these modes return across forums, social media, and in-game feedback. Restoring them will improve player retention, satisfaction, and overall enjoyment. Please add 64-player Conquest and Close Quarters Conquest as permanent, official quick-play options (not just Portal or limited-time). This will make BF2042 feel complete and true to the Battlefield legacy.
Get rid of the bots
The bots aren't helpful at all and are distracting when trying to distinguish them from real players in chaotic situations. Every time I start shooting at a bot not knowing it's one, I get melted by a real player. I'd rather have a game of 10 vs 10 of real players instead of filled with bots. Not to mention, they're obviously easier to kill and can throw a whole game off.
After finding a game, it stays on a black screen and returns to the main menu.
Hello everyone. Many Battlefield 2042 players have been experiencing a black screen error after finding a game mode, resulting in being redirected back to the main screen, for a full month now. This error occurred in Conquest and Control modes. A few friends and I were playing Team Deathmatch because it was the only mode where we didn't get this error. Now we can't even play that mode. You're a huge game company. You haven't been able to solve this problem for a month. What's your goal? Do you want to discourage players from playing this game and force them to buy the latest Battlefield game, or do you want them to switch to Call of Duty? You're a big company, act like one and solve this problem. By the way, I should also mention that there were online issues in FC26 until two weeks ago. I think the problem is with the EA servers. Because my friends and I are connecting to your game from Türkiye. But when I checked the forum topics, this problem exists in countries like Germany and Canada as well. That leaves two options here. Either there's a problem with your servers or there's a problem with the EA app.
Is there any way i could reset my account?
Progression is fun, and i know there is not going to be any atemps in inplementing any "Prestige" to encourage people to do everything all again. so, any way i could like, ask someone in EA to do a acount reset? (i have killed so many bots, my name is full of shame)
Spearhead
100 years ago, Lapland's legendary "Niagara of the Nordics" was destroyed to make way for a hydroelectric power plant - residents were given emergency instructions in case of a dam break Tuomas The flow of a waterfall located in Swedish Lapland decreased by 97 percent with the establishment of a power plant Spearhead is a map of Battlefield 2042, introduced in Escalation season on November 22nd, 2022. The map takes place somewhere in Sweden, featuring a large natural area and several automated "mega-factories" producing weapons and tools by a company named "Nordvik". "You may know Nordvik weapons. Perhaps you have one waiting in your locker right now. Their claims of being a neutral party are false. We've discovered that they are the primary artillery provider for the American offensive. Reconnaissance has narrowed down the location of the Nordvik factory to a remote Scandanavian [sic] mountain. But U.S. forces know we are coming. Dress for the cold. Once you pierce their defense, we will move in and support you." — Russian Briefing [Edit, EN only here please - CM][BF2042][Official Conquest] Received a magazine as in BF Hardline
It was an awesome surprise to me: On Casipan Border Conquest, while reloading my M16A3 with PB Heavy Suppressor attached, my Blasco received a magazine as in BF Hardline. Look as someone was throwing a mag to me, i catched it and reloaded the weapon. Sadly this surprisingly event was too quick to take a screenshot. Great stuff. Please add (and please re-add) more QoL into BF2042 :)
Season Replay
I don't believe relegating 2042 to a maintenance mode is good for the franchise. In fact, by not making new content or updates and legit support, you're telling players (customers) that the content, features and support have a clock on them. The idea is newly release content after launch and the rewards of seasons and modes being unavailable when they end is to drive player numbers for fear of missing out. I get that. I would argue players deserve to play on their time after spending the same amount of money on a game someone with twice the time and frequency to play. Therefore, I feel its only right all who purchase the game, for full launch price or $7 (the price 2 weeks after my full purchase), have a right to earn the same rewards for the game as all the seasons we never got to play. I want the player cards, the skins, the tags and all the rest. When I bought the game my ISP was awful and online play was hardly an option. I could play solo/co-op with some issues but minimal compared to official servers and modes. Not only can we not claim any of the content others were able to receive under better circumstances or just time to actually play, but everything in the store is all the same price as it has always been which is a bit strange considering the value now without the seasons, without the promise of new content, without the game support, and without the player numbers or the cost of the game never going over 25% of the release price. I strongly feel if devs can give us FNB and weekend and weekly modes aside from the standards, a replay of all the seasons is warranted. 2042 still has a loyal base of players, many of which have played 6 and aren't fans. 6 feels like all our wants and desires were mostly ignored or the loudest and smallest group got what they wanted but that's another topic. How hard would it be to replay and cycle the seasons of 2042 for all the content be really? It can't hurt player numbers in 6, in fact it only helps. Not in real time as the seasons but in player enthusiasm towards the franchise. I cannot purchase or play BF6 knowing the game will eventually go to maintenance mode and have little to no support or new content. Using 2042 as a platform to test enthusiasm would be one of the smartest moves EA/Dice could make after restructuring of its teams. Lets start BF2042 season 1 before May please.BF2042 infested by cheaters /EU
Its difficult to find a lobby without cheaters in when playing in EU /Scandinavia. In most of the rounds there are players who (1) kill everyone with one shot, ( or 2 ) without even pointing with gun or (3) from dead angles. They also sometimes dont register any hits themselves. Reporting them does not do anything. We all know EA / Dice does not care about gaming community. I wonder is same **bleep** ongoing in other areas too? Do they think we are going to buy BF6 after all this?
