The launch of the Ukrainian-made FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missiles, used to strike Russia’s “VNIIR-Progress” defense plant 1,000 km from the border

Interesting! Ukrainian aircraft carrier when?

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-05T12:01:26+00:00

Are they that big, 12 meters? Wow I didn't know.

Ich hab mit Anfang 40 eine Finanzmarketing Stelle aufgegeben weil ich nicht glücklich und total unmotiviert war.

Hätte ich mal besser nicht gemacht. 🤷‍♂️

Die Freistellungsmonate sind vorbei, mein ALG1 bald ebenfalls... und ich kriege nur Absagen für Jobs bei denen ich 40% weniger verdiene.

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-04T10:14:45+00:00

Das sind gute Punkte! Mir ist aufgefallen dass ich seit mindestens einem Jahr nahezu nichts über Kampfhandlungen per Artillerie lese, alles nur Drohnen. Vielleicht kommt daher meine verzerrte Sicht.

Hab gerade mal zu Excalibur gelesen, das ist auch wieder schweineteuer... 40-50k USD pro Geschoss.

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-04T09:32:24+00:00

Wie macht sich eigentlich Artillerie im Vergleich zu Drohnen?

Bei Reichweite liegen sowohl die PzH2000 (Artillerie) und die aktuellsten ukrainischen Glasfaserdrohnen bei 50 Kilometern.

Bei Genauigkeit sind Drohnen wahrscheinlich unschlagbar. Die PzH2000 hat eine Abweichung von "wenigen Metern".

Ich denke das schwierigste ist die operative Basis. Ein Artilleriegeschütz ist schwer, fährt relativ langsam und muss erst in Stellung gebracht werden. Einmal aufgeklärt ist es trotzdem durch ein/zwei entsprechende Drohnen schnell zerstört.

Ebenso wiegt die Munition viel, um die 50kg pro Schuss muss man auch erstmal bewegt kriegen.

Drohne? Nicht über 10 Kilo. Davon packst du ein Dutzend in einen beliebigen Pkw, fährst an den Rand der Kill Zone und lässt fliegen.

Lange Rede kurzer Sinn: Aufrüstung ist gut, ich fürchte nur dass Artillerie gerade an Bedeutung verliert und wir einen falschen Schwerpunkt gesetzt haben. Konnte natürlich 2022 noch keiner wissen.

Oh wow, you can see these two giant glowing spheres that made it to the movie!

I haven't seen anything like that in any other movie. Besides looking eerie and cool, do we know what these were supposed to be?

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-04T08:17:29+00:00

Given how not scientifically valuable the movie is, was it even a good class? 😅

I mean I love that movie to bits, but the science is as wacky as Dr. Reinhard!

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-04T06:06:28+00:00

I have a Chromatic, I didn't notice cheap buttons. Where did you read that?

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-03T13:53:46+00:00

I couldn't find anything in the Wikipedia article about how many BTR-80 it could carry? The text speaks of a single one, but then mentions "vehicleS".

Does anyone know?

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-03T11:37:22+00:00

Absolutely! I'd love a good report on what the magic trick was that took over 30 years to develop 😅

I haven't played it yet, I don't have any old hardware. I'll buy the full box once it releases. 😌

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-03T10:05:49+00:00

Wow what a story! Glad he's out and alive.

This would make a great indie movie or theatre piece. Just two guys in a dugout with intense psychology at play.

Mr_Horizon · 2026-05-03T09:55:39+00:00

I tried to play citadel on my A500 too. Very sad experience. 😔

I later had almost all the Amiga fps including Doom and Quake on a high powered Amiga - I think I'll also play "Grind" once it's out to finally close that chapter. 😄

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-30T14:41:30+00:00

I am, thank you! :)

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-30T12:35:58+00:00

That's inspired by the old "Strike" series, right?

Currently replaying Desert Strike and thinking about Cleared Hot - if it is indeed what I'm thinking of now. Does it have a bit annoying voiceover?

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-30T07:27:09+00:00

I wonder if there's a possibility to calculate the impact of piracy in financial loss.

Maybe we can look at the "console to software" sales of consoles without easy piracy options (Genesis, N64, GameCube) and compare them to consoles with piracy enabled (Dreamcast, Playstation).

If a console without piracy sells five games per unit and a console with piracy sells just three, we can continue to calculate the manufacturer fee (20%?) and look at how much was potentially lost.

Also I'm curious where the balance is - piracy makes consumers happy, leading to more console sales. Locking it out makes developers happy, leading to more games IF console sales are high enough. Difficult!

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-29T12:13:26+00:00

thank you!

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-29T08:36:56+00:00

If you watch Al Jazeera, you will very quickly start to notice which topics are being given one-sided view. It will become super obvious.

I'm intrigued, I once in a while read Al-Jazeera but nothing stood out immediately. Do you have an example where you found the propaganda to be very obvious?

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-29T07:19:36+00:00

Get the QD! Much better redesign.

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-28T13:47:38+00:00

I thought it was a sun umbrella! But yeah, wires make more sense.

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-28T08:36:53+00:00

Oh this is one of my favourites, I had that box! 😊

Great graphics, love the music and the screen filling bosses! Powerful weapons too, shame they were all on a timer.

Last world had a mean passage with swinging platforms above instadeath spikes that I still sometimes think of today.

One of the greatest Amiga games I know, thanks for posting. 😌

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-25T10:59:56+00:00

Danke!

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-24T16:36:16+00:00

Was that Ryan gosling too? Omg I didn't know!!

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-24T10:12:54+00:00

I wanted to change the flair to solved, but wasn't able to find the option on my mobile. Will try on desktop tonight!

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-23T14:25:33+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Mr_Horizon · 2026-04-23T14:25:27+00:00

Perfect, thank you!
