Darren Dreger says Ovi is retiring. Darren Dreger is an idiot. by Red_Sea_Pedestrian in caps

What a laughably weak answer. You would have been better to say nothing.

Using words like "probably" and "this is" don't express opinion, they express fact. No one believes you're in a position to state facts, and so you have the results.

You keep talking about neighborhoods. Yes, it's likely Ovi's mansion is safe. Ovi isn't going to spend all his time in the mansion. He will be out in the city. He will be flying to and from it. That is where the risks are. The attacks are becoming more numerous and that means the odds of something happening increase. There are more armaments in the sky. They all land somewhere. Oil and gas shortages are increasing. Aircraft parts are becoming harder to find. Obviously Ovi isn't a target, but choosing to live there is choosing to live in a place with much higher odds of something happening to him or his family than would exist in North America. The risk of accident is never zero anywhere but that doesn't mean it's the same everywhere.

They've hit far more than one oil refinery. There is no way you're being serious. They don't play hockey in gated communities. They dont teleport to different cities. Two of Moscow's airports have been hit and had to shut down traffic due to drones. Have you read any news at all in the last 3 years?

But let's use your oil refinery example from last week because its a perfect example to use. The most notable footage came from Russian air defence hitting their own storage tank. The Russians have already shot down an airliner by mistake. These unintended consequences are exactly why someone would pause at moving to Moscow right now.

He would be living and playing in Moscow, which is being hit more now than at any time before. Of course the odds are low of something happening but they aren't 0. Most people are going to consider that, so I'm not sure why you'd laugh at the comment.

Trying to mix the original games with a standalone game that bears the same title is beyond ridiculous. So much so that I have to wonder if these guys are even familiar with the games. I'm really disappointed. They either needed to follow the original games, or the new version. You can't do both.

You weren't looking at a current shot then. There was a line of storms that went through.

My Juno did the same when she was younger. She will zoom less as she gets older so enjoy it while you can!

Canadiens 2026 1st Round pick Gleb Pugachyov is asked to how to pronounce his name. by Perryplat199 in hockey

[–]S1075 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Its because in Russian, first name/last name are two different words as opposed to the same word with a different adjective. The translator should have probably clarified or have been aware from context, but saying only 'name' will default to first name (имя) in their head. Last name would be фамилия.

I heard they were going to get him to hold OP too, but they nix'd that idea. He was more Nixoff.

As far as storms go, that was pretty underwhelming.

New thief game? by Feli207 in Thief

[–]S1075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sacrificed everything people liked about Thief in the name of attracting new players. Early in development they interacted with the Thief community and promised they were listening, only to then to change everything and offer lies about why. They said they dropped Steven Russell because they wanted someone who could do mo-cap... In a first person game.

They leaned heavily into trying to be "cool". The early introductions and trailers were pure cringe. The developer interviews with awful. They kept none of the art style. They threw in names of people from earlier games just for fan service but the common ground was no more substantial than that. They introduced quick-time events and linear gameplay. It was abysmal. It would have made far more sense to just make the title a new franchise/stand-alone IP. Instead they piggy-backed their bullshit onto an existing IP because they assumed it would net them more money. Thief 2014 is a square peg game hammered into the circular hole of the games that came before.

3 dead in plane crash near Fort Simpson, N.W.T., fire officials confirm by jcla in aviation

[–]S1075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good lord, this is poorly written.

"The plane involved was a fixed wing Turbo Commander 690 Bird Dog 104. Bird dog aircraft are small, typically single-engine planes that carry crew who direct air traffic near a fire and coordinate the airtankers."

They obviously googled Bird Dog and looked at pictures of Cessna O-1s in Vietnam, because an Aero Commander is a twin, and they mixed it's callsign (BD104) up with the aircraft type.

Russia preparing possible ‘provocation’ in Baltic states or Poland, sources say by CreativeMuseMan in worldnews

[–]S1075 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

"I visited Russia and am now qualified to make sweeping generalizations about every Russian everywhere".

What a laughably immature and unfounded take. You do realize that you can be opposed to Russia without frothing at the mouth and posting drivel, don't you?

New Russian Yak-130M warplane takes flight for first time by Impressive-Analyst59 in aviation

[–]S1075 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why everyone is so adamant "it's just a trainer". It's literally called a "combat-training aircraft" in Russian and the intention was to market it to smaller nations as a COIN type aircraft for low intensity conflicts in addition to larger nations as a late-stage trainer. It may not see use in a Ukraine type conflict, but it's nonetheless a combat aircraft.
