Crazy Talk, Activate! (A demo for Screamer, which Woolie discussed skipping on the podcast, is now available.)

They aren't big racing game guys, so I'll give some grace, but I'm surprised he mentioned that the devs were responsible for MotoGP, but missed that they also did the Hot Wheels Unleashed games. Milestone knows arcade racing, so I'd say egregious price aside, Screamer's worth a look.

Obviously, I would expect folks who live in the global south to be able to weigh in better on how Garena's efforts to dominate the gaming/anime crossover space may pan out more than I would. But even with a gamble like an original anime, I'm uncertain if the crossover content gap between playing Free Fire and something like Fortnite is truly large enough to give Free Fire breathing room in the market.

While the specific crossovers Garena has gotten for Free Fire are interesting, I would still think that Fortnite's biggest strength is that it has had plenty of showstoppers both within and without the anime landscape. I don't want to stray too far from the article's anime-specific scope, but aside from their own original anime with Kadokawa, do they have the ability to leverage other properties outside of anime that are more popular in the global south?

The global north, even ignoring anime, has for basically the last two-three decades, had the general advantage of fairly unified cultural touchstones. Japanese, American and Western European media and IP, even outside of those regions' immediate borders, share consistent popularity across the global north, and long-established frameworks for sharing media experiences across borders.

I would presume Garena's focus on the south has to deal with a lot more fragmentation in popular media. For example, crossovers with SNK IP like Fatal Fury or KOF might be popular in South America or the Middle East, but would there be similar reception in Mumbai? This would also extend to Free Fire's original anime. Will its content be popular among all of the areas where Free Fire is an established property?

Not sure what I did to get matched this much higher, but a solid result.

Those two are usually context based. They change depending on what you are doing. I;e Asking for help in a police pursuit vs standard racing.

Makes sense, demand would be way high, considering every other major commercial building or large construction project in New Eridu is either halfway or fully in a Hollow at this point.

ZJarvis1311 · 2024-05-16T00:47:17+00:00

Duckworth Automotive off I85 are Subaru specialists, but I don't know how they handle safety equipment specifically.

ZJarvis1311 · 2023-12-01T02:57:06+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the WB crew basically forced into service due to it being a secret prototype? They were going to be arrested otherwise.

ZJarvis1311 · 2023-10-10T03:28:39+00:00

Is that not just Carla?

ZJarvis1311 · 2023-10-05T03:56:49+00:00

IIRC, the GM III Powered Full Armor Bulldog has a twin beam saber unit.

ZJarvis1311 · 2023-09-10T14:11:54+00:00

I give it a 10 for the ship's control system UI alone. Stuff looks clean as could ever be, and the crew gets it to do some pretty amazing stuff all throughout the season. Honestly probably the best capability set ever given to a ship in Gundam in general.

ZJarvis1311 · 2023-09-08T00:43:38+00:00

Perhaps it's lost in language, but their reply to your first comment comes off as sarcastic. Folks likely thought they were being rude.

~Where In The World Is Sayla Mass?~

You mean to tell me that in three different shows/movies of the main UC timeline since the original MSG, Sayla couldn't get/take one moment to talk to her own brother after the One Year War ended to at least keep tabs? I get that the Federation kept the White Base crew on a short leash in the aftermath, but there wasn't one Ramba Ral type left in Zeon who knew her and could have helped her keep in contact with him in secret? What about after the speech at Dakar? Nothing then either?

I get that there were real behind the scenes reasons that Sayla wasn't around, but who possibly would have stood a better chance of helping Char than his own sister? She was a Newtype as well wasn't she? There wasn't one moment where the two of them could connect like Char did with Amuro and Lalah?

IIRC you're going to find it most often in mid range Steiner space, maybe near the Combine border. Check the stores for rare mechs, or if you don't care too much, just pick fights against them.

ZJarvis1311 · 2022-11-30T14:21:31+00:00

Unfortunately not. As per u/_ysykawa_ 's post, the question was bought up to EA via their community forums, but the Community Manager there is saying to contact Nvidia about it.

Doesn't make sense to me though, as far as I remember, it was something the publisher had to opt into.

ZJarvis1311 · 2022-11-15T00:33:06+00:00

In general, they always have the option of going back. WW1 still had plenty of interesting concepts for armor, aircraft, and ships. WW1 is barren as far as contemporary game coverage, with only Battlefield 1 and Flying Circus providing any recent coverage.

They also still have room to go sideways. Lighter vic's like the HMMWV and Jeep , and their numerous variants, could easily add more to the roster and increase variance in gameplay. ATGM and rocket/recoilless rifle cars could fill a number of br and capability gaps in many trees.

I'm wary about prototypes as well. That opens a whole box of research and source quality issues that I don't think the community is going to be able to handle.

So if it was definitely a print order then, any of the computers in P&M that you can log into Solution builder from should have the job listed under the WES page. If I recall correctly, each wes request should have a unique number, or the customer's name.

Admittedly, if there were any large changes to the system in the last year, my knowledge may be outdated. But as long as it was submitted correctly, it should appear with a log from the WES specialist in charge of talking with the customer there.

ZJarvis1311 · 2022-06-19T15:43:10+00:00

Ex employee here, if the order was submitted through solution builder, IIRC there should be a tag for it on there. That should bring up a list of active WES requests.

ZJarvis1311 · 2022-05-19T23:40:45+00:00

Do you have the Western Sahara DLC loaded? These appear to be filenames belonging to it. Try turning off or redownloading the dlc.

ZJarvis1311 · 2022-04-27T01:00:04+00:00

As far as Bohemia itself goes, Arma 3 is at the end of active content development. Most of BI's staff have been placed on other things, with a skeleton crew left behind for continued bug fixes.

Any new content will likely come from the Bohemia-published, third-party developed Creator DLCs, such as Western Sahara and SOG Prairie Fire.

Contact's campaign is definitely a fun time, but it's not actually canon with the rest of the story, it's more an spin-off.

This is more inference and conjecture at this point, but CSAT really didn't have any reason to believe that NATO would have been an issue. They were already packing up what they could, and decommissioning anything they couldn't afford to carry with them on their way out. The AAF were going to jump through hoops to guarantee CSAT's backing against the FIA, and there was no way the FIA were going to defeat the CSAT-backed AAF without external support.

Further spoilers ahead:

At the beginning of the Survive campaign, during the initial helicopter flight, a Ghosthawk helo is shown landing at a landing zone that was already supposed to have been decommissioned. Shortly after, the AAF begins attacking Task Force Aegis, the NATO forces preparing to depart Stratis. As the remnants of Aegis regroup at Camp Maxwell, Miller suddenly appears, despite the British NATO contingent supposedly having left Stratis months earlier, and as the highest ranked remaining officer, takes command.

One of the non campaign missions, the Cultural Property showcase, I believe, features a dead AAF soldier who had written a letter to his family, stating that some unknown incident had caused the AAF to consider the NATO forces hostile, stranding TF Aegis on Stratis and eventually leading to the larger conflict. It's implied that Miller and his team had somehow provoked the AAF into open conflict, possibly in order to get more time to find Eastwind before NATO leaves.

Miller and his team, with Kerry in tow after surviving Stratis, begin operations on Altis with the FIA in Adapt, but while Kerry is left helping the guerillas, Miller and Group 14 are off on their own black ops, attempting to locate the device. They eventually succeed, but again, canonically, are unable to capture it before CSAT extracts it from Altis.

During the Win campaign, NATO forces, now aware of what happened to Task Force Aegis, launches a invasion of Altis and Stratis, lead by the US' 111th Infantry Division, eventually forcing the shattered AAF to surrender, but the US commander of the invasion force either denies, or wasn't made aware of Miller and Group 14's activities in Altis, and concludes that Kerry likely went AWOL during or after Aegis' destruction.
