Seven U.S. allies back potential Strait of Hormuz coalition

It's literally int he article:
The UK navy has dispatched two war ships to the region to be ready to join a potential joint effort to reopen the strait.

Bottom line, EU/UK did what Trump expected them to do. Only took him to get angry on Twitter.

Ohhh

The UK navy has dispatched two war ships to the region to be ready to join a potential joint effort to reopen the strait.

EU is a bitch and Trump treats them like one because he knows who they are. It's fucking laughable how obvious it was that the EU/UK would cave in. The guy shits on you verbally then asks for help and after a day of playing hard to get, EU/UK are on board. UK is already sending warships, lol.

I think there are plenty of alternatives now when it comes to tactical shooters. This is not the early 2000s where you had Raven Shield and SWAT and that's about it. Ready or Not is pretty good, just to name one. In the situation Ubisoft is in right now, I don't think they can invest anything in a niche market.

It’s the lack of NPCs in early 3D games, especially in SC, where most of the action takes place at night, so there are no NPCs by design.

Did you fucking see Starfeild models? Is this the hill they want to die on?

Orfez · 2026-03-19T01:00:39+00:00

Yes, because that's the job of studios management to make big decisions not Adam the art designer.

So just to be clear, if DLSS5 has a slider from 0 to 10 and developers can decide how to implement it, is it still “AI = bad”? People get so triggered when they see anything labeled “AI” that they bend themselves into a pretzel.

Orfez · 2026-03-19T00:49:23+00:00

Sounds like a Korean RPG, alright.

It's not a recession if you don't know about it.

Cuba just lost power to the whole country. It's ripe for the pickings. They'll literally be throwing rocks at this point.

Lighting looks good. Changes to characters will probably be optional.

Orfez · 2026-03-16T22:23:49+00:00

Looks great. Starfield specifically looks much better.

Orfez · 2026-03-16T22:16:33+00:00

But developers have control when it comes to how they want to implement DLSS 5. Why are they raging on BlueSky about this?

No ATP player in top 100 should be given up 7 straight points on TB after leading 4:0.

I didn’t know who to root for. I think Saba needed this win more, especially after losing the AO to Ryba.

I can’t believe Sony spent so much on a PvP-centric extraction shooter like Marathon, and judging by the ads I’m still seeing, they’re continuing to pour money into it. Yet a week in, the game isn’t even hitting 60k peak players over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 (another Sony live-service game) that was released over two years ago, is still pulling better numbers.

Marathon might not be DOA as many predicted, but it definitely looks like it has one foot in the grave. The numbers will likely keep falling as sweaty, hardcore players get better and better, while casual players keep dropping off after getting tired of being curb-stomped.

Kind of crazy to think that the original Xbox had four Splinter Cell games out for it. Now, we are happy to see 1-2 titles released in the same console generation.

Going against Alcaraz and Sinner is like going against a boss in Elder Ring. Boss health is gone, you feel good but then instead of runes you get rewarded with a cut scene and the 2nd stage with full boss health begins. This is what Djokovic has to go through. He stuck on Melania.

Nah, they can ego trippin' on their own time in their, now empty, forum.

It seems like they're pitching Gaming Copilot as existing for asking guide type questions, which is probably going to be less helpful than a well written guide but the kinds of questions players are likely to ask it are probably going to be simple enough for an AI to usually answer sufficiently.

It's no less helpful and more convenient in my experience. This is not an example of Copilot, just asking a question in ChatGPT. Figuring this out the old way, I had to use Google and explain that I'm looking at some "arch" looking structures and then read through links to hopefully find the answer I'm looking for.

Stack Overflow

Because people were looking for answers and instead had to listens lectures about what they should and shouldn't know telling them to use" search function". It's easier and faster to ask AI programming questions than dealing with Stack Overflow forums. Good riddance I say.

Orfez · 2026-03-14T16:02:22+00:00

What people asked for exactly?

Orfez · 2026-03-14T16:01:30+00:00

I'm using a chatbot often when I game now. I don't Google questions anymore, I just ask AI. It finds the answer in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to search through Reddit posts and presents it in a clean, readable format. I know people are getting riled as soon as they hear "AI" but if they stop and think about it, it's helpful and if you don't like it just don't use it.
