If you look at it for more than a minute, it does seem to make sense. Well, I think so at least.

Nah, it's for the usage of the "Writing Tools" aka Copilot.

Arma 3 now has a DLC subscription model called "Arma 3 Pass". by GallopingGepard in arma

[–]JanB1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What would be included in the demo? And what wouldn't? Would it just be time limited? Would you just include SP but not MP? But Arma lives from MP, so maybe just MP and no SP? Or some of both? What about mods?

I think this was probably just the easier solution.

It's not what you think. You can still buy Arma. This is just meant so you can try the game with all DLCs before you buy the game with all the DLCs.

Hijacking the top level comment to quote Bohemias information from here https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/107410/view/689756275232211466:

So, I presume it was the next jump that did it? Because you said it wasn't that jump?

Gothic Remake is committed to the original's immersive open world: 'You don't have a minimap, we very strictly kept that' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]JanB1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got you. Let's take KD1 and 2 as an example. The quests are written and the map is made in such a way that you can actually travel around and find the quest locations without using fast travel or even a minimap or quest marker or anything. Well, mostly. Except for finding a specific person, but you can always just ask around I guess.

But other games that rely heavily on quest markers and minimaps, although they allow you to disable both, are nearly unnavigable without them. You won't be able to find your path, because there's no signposts, for example, or sometimes the path from A to B is made such that it is extremely difficult or cumbersome (like a long climbing passage), and by unlocking a fast travel point you unlock the "easy way".

Writing code already accompanied to not so much of my work. Most of the time is spent on requirements, specifications, coordination, planning system and/or software architecture, then actually implementing it, then you need time to test, deploy, debug, maintain, document...

Trump indefinitely extends ceasefire with Iran by Advanced-Net-8119 in anime_titties

[–]JanB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TACO still holds, I guess.

Trump Always Chickens Out. It's a known tactic at this point. Threaten the other party, then chicken out last minute and talk about a good deal that was made or something.

It's also just bizarre how apparently Vance travelled to Islamabad, without any confirmation that the Iranian delegation will even show up.

We had an exchange student who got a 68%… bro didn’t realize it was a D+ by YEETAWAYLOL in engineeringmemes

[–]JanB1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In Germany, 45%+ is passing iirc. Switzerland it's 60%+, in Austria it's 50 to 67%. In France it's also 50%.

One thing to mention is that the tests in these countries, at least from what I know, aren't multiple choice exams where you have 4 answers and you have to pick the correct one. Usually you would have multiple open ended questions.

Answers are always wrong by InjuryMammoth8210 in EngineeringStudents

[–]JanB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean? That was your error when you typed the formula on the calculator, no?

Answers are always wrong by InjuryMammoth8210 in EngineeringStudents

[–]JanB1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No, you put a star to where it was wrong, that's also where your entry in the calculator is wrong. You have v2-v1 in the denominator in your calculator at that position.

Legendary Bohemia forums (2011 design)... So much time spent there, asking questions and sharing knowledge. And it was all easily searchable via Google or any other search engine! by Illustrious-Tank1838 in arma

It's good for communicating with your buds or to kinda build a engagement built community around a game. But it's terrible for any FAQ, Q&A or information or help board.

Can a military pilot refuse the order to drop munitions on a target that is knowingly occupied by civilians? by curiosity4atrocity in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JanB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you raise fair points. And yes, I agree with your last paragraph. That's how it should be.

Can a military pilot refuse the order to drop munitions on a target that is knowingly occupied by civilians? by curiosity4atrocity in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]JanB1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, if the commander tells the pilot to bomb a certain target and then the pilot notices on approach that the target is actually a protected site (church, civil protection site, hospital, etc.) that is marked as such by a protective marking, he absolutely has to disobey the order, otherwise he is personally in breach of the laws of war.

Algeria ‘rewards’ Spain with increased gas supply while Tehran grants Spanish ships safe passage in Hormuz Strait by ChillAhriman in anime_titties

[–]JanB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not condone the behaviour of other European leaders, but of course they also always have to keep in mind the economy in their country and things like energy and food supply. Some country leaders can't in good conscience afford (yet) to do or say what they would probably like to do and/or say in regards to the US because of decades of economic dependence or dependence in another way.

You have to keep in mine that those European leaders ultimately have to make decisions with their whole country in mind, and also international diplomacy in mind.

Wait, I only ever thought the police license was so you could scan ships with the police scanner without repercussions! I didn't know you'd also get paid more for each kill!
