Comment on Hi everyone, I'm French Fry Noob – a 1999 Chinese gamer

Quick add to my library pic above:

You might notice no Battlefield 6 there. Truth is, my PC can barely run it smoothly, so I didn’t buy it. That’s the reality for a lot of us.

And yeah, you see all those games? We have a tradition in China: buy first on sale, think about playing later. 😅 It’s a whole thing.

EA has a special pattern in China — either no discount at all, or suddenly 90% off. So we wait. We always wait. That’s the “Pin Hao Bing” (Scrounged-Together Soldier) way.

“Pin Hao Bing” is a joke in the Chinese Battlefield community. It means someone whose rig is barely holding on, but they’re still out there grinding, dying a lot, and telling their squad “I gave it my all.”

That’s me. That’s the French Fry Noob way.

Thanks for reading the small print! 🍟
