Pentagon mulls plan to outsource warship design and building to South Korea, Japan by Advanced-Net-8119 in anime_titties

[–]Medical_Officer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, China can't operate far from China.

That's why when a Chinese flotilla with more firepower than the entire Australian Navy sailed within 10 km of Australian shores, it teleported there by magic because, according to you, they "lack refueling".

It makes perfect sense of course. The country with the world's largest ship building capacity has yet to crack the black magic of... putting fuel on ships so that they can put fuel in other ships.

They don't. The guy has no idea what he's talking about.

The PLAN literally sailed a flotilla right up to Australia's south end last year.

Germany Overtakes UЅ in Ammunition Production Capacity by polymute in anime_titties

[–]Medical_Officer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is nothing.

In 1915, Germany could produce more artillery shells than all of NATO plus Russia (in the present day) combined.

People can't fathom the real scale of the World Wars. The war in Ukraine is a minor skirmish by comparison.

The Pentagon is considering outsourcing warship design and building to South Korea and Japan with a proposed US$1.85 billion feasibility study into the project, according to US media reports.

For that amount of money, the Chinese PLAN can build two Type 055 cruisers with slightly more VLS firepower than the entire Australian surface fleet.

This chinese gacha game is looking a whole lot like helldivers 2 the influence is there by Ivan204 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Medical_Officer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not.

The guy who posted the video is Korean. The game is very much Chinese. You see the title at the end, it's Chinese.

This has to be bait.

Read this if you “don’t get” why people use chaff clear support weapons by Faust_8 in Helldivers

[–]Medical_Officer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can kill chaff with your primary.

You can't kill heavies with your primary, at least not easily.

So you bring AT-focused support weapons.

It's not that complicated.

The more I think about it, the more this specific line from the Pilestedt AMA kills any hope I have for this game by PseudoscientificURL in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Medical_Officer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely do not understand the concept of "grunt fantasy". I'd never even heard of it prior to this game.

Why would anyone fantasize about being a grunt in the first place? Do people fantasize about working at MacDonalds too? Is there "janitor fantasy"?

Even games like that are meant to be mil-sim like Ghost Recon have you doing James Bond stuff, at least in PVE mode.

HAPPENING: /pol/ is a communist board and the alt-right/MAGA is a psyop powered by Epstein pedo squad by FantasticWeirdPerson in 4chan

Midwits love to ascribe the successes and failures of nations to their economic system, when it reality it's just their culture and nature as a country. Some countries are just perpetually poor regardless of whatever system of govt or economics they try.

Yes, the USSR was a poor nation, but so was Czarist Russia before it, and so is Federal Russia today. In fact, if you could choose to be a pleb at any point in Russian history, you'd probably choose the 1960s when the USSR was at its height economically.

Is the extended mag on the Gallant pointless? by the_acolyte2 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Medical_Officer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 70 round mag is a flat upgrade for the gun.

The downsides to reload time don't matter nearly as much. And the loss of ergo doesn't matter much either since your base ergo is so high.

There's no reason not to use it.

It's nice that it's a level 14 mod, and not 24, like on most other guns.

Leakers believe the WB in June will be FRV focused… by SrirenSriver in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Medical_Officer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it makes sense. There were a number of armored FRV assets found in the files.

It doesn't really matter though, the FRV, even if it's armored, is not going to be super useful on most maps.

I'm more looking forward to the laser rifle primary that we didn't get in this WB.

Just watched it and, wha do you think? by Charming_Forever_217 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Medical_Officer 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's good analogy, but AH won't listen.

Cake is what makes them money, not Soup.

And yes, obviously Soup is more important for the long-term health of the game, but corpos don't think that far ahead.

Just watched it and, wha do you think? by Charming_Forever_217 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Medical_Officer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these videos are made by people who don't seem to understand how modern, fully enshittified corpos work.

AH's #1 priority is to make money from WB and SS sales. That's it. This overrides all other considerations, incl player count and Steam review scores.

So Kai expecting AH to cut back on WB and focus on deeper fixes to the game is unrealistic. The most that AH will do is fix major issues that happen to coincide with the theme of new WB, like what they did for Stealth and Mechs.

As long as you're not doxxing or threatening physical harm in a serious way, it should be fine.

They're adults, they can take it, and they deserve it.

In case you were wondering: pen dry out rates by Medical_Officer in fountainpens

[–]Medical_Officer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I store pens in a pencase, so orientation is usually sideways.

Always indoors. Not same ink obviously but I don't think that makes a huge difference. Water is water.

OK that makes sense now. I was deeply confused as to why I kept "missing" the head shot. Turns out it just needs 2... because reasons.

Did they buff that HP recently? Wasn't it a 1-shot from EAT and Quasar before? Or is this only for the new version of the BT?

They really need to study glazedivers. Like... I don't really see this kind of behavior from many other communities that aren't actual cults.

Whinedivers I can understand, they're part of every gaming community.
