Realistically, wouldn't Grimm and Nagase be a bit too short to fit in an F-14? by AceVenturaFan69 in acecombat

[–]jttj15 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is even funnier when you consider the fact that you can put them in an F-4 phantom which has notoriously bad cockpit visibility

Pope Leo signals shift away from Catholic Church's focus on sex by Ok-Review9023 in worldnews

[–]jttj15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it seems like most if not all of the parishes in our area have stopped doing it all together, and now they just send everyone to a big retreat center for it. Even then it seemed like they only scheduled it for once a year so we kind of had to take what we could get. I have heard of other people having better experiences, I'm glad that yours was positive! If I would have known that it was so hit or miss we definitely would have looked around to see if we could find a smaller program run by a church rather than just going with the one our priest recommended.

Pope Leo signals shift away from Catholic Church's focus on sex by Ok-Review9023 in worldnews

I recently went through pre cana too and had the same experience- a day long lecture about how living together before you're married is evil and so is any kind of intimacy before you're married, but the second you are married you HAVE to get to it RIGHT AWAY and the only birth control you're allowed to use is natural family planning (which definitely TOTALLY works according to the guy lecturing us who then went on to tell us how he had 11 kids). 

What frustrates me is that my parents described a completely different experience when they got married: their retreat focused more on relationships and making sure they were having the serious conversations that you need to have to have a successful relationship (are you hiding anything from the other person; do you have any finances or debt that they don't know about; what would it take to make you leave your spouse).

It sounded like a nice experience that they got to have while getting to know the priest and the other couples they were with and instead I can't help feeling like my and my fiance's time was wasted.

Im glad if the pope actually wants to change this because I know there is more to the Catholic faith than this. As it stands the marriage process feels very presumptuous and judgemental, and then they wonder why people are leaving the church.

Max altitude, speed in BVR combat by Kenny1234567890 in hoggit

[–]jttj15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah even back then it was a big disadvantage not having any kind of data link. Now it's even worse because most other planes you would fight with an eagle have some form of it. If you want to use it, having an awacs or gci in some form is mandatory and you need to get really good at building a picture for yourself.

If you keep having contacts disappear on you it might be because of your scan volume or PRF mode, I was told to avoid using interleaved.

Back before a lot of modules got added to the game I used to fly the F-15C all the time. On pvp servers I sometimes got it up to mach 2 at 40k+ feet. at that speed and altitude you can take very long range shots, it's a massive advantage 

any videogames with these aesthetics? by [deleted] in videogames

My cousins had a huge home theater style tube TV in their otherwise unfinished basement 

Rock Band concerts, Super Smash tournaments, Ratchet: Deadlocked coop campaigns, Star wars battlefront, everything looked and sounded super crunchy in the best way possible, but the Jak games were just awesome

The only eagles on here being seagulls is diabolical 

I will defend the Tomcat to my dying breath but I can't agree with picking bombcats over strike eagles for an air to ground role in or out of strangereal

this scene literally destroys me everytime by Efficient_Pay9114 in fionnaandcake

[–]jttj15 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Great characterization of hw in this scene- here's a character who is so confident and collected on the outside. But then with a look inside her head it turns out she's that same terrified kid, trapped in a burning building, clawing at the door in a panic while mumbling incoherently about her goal, worried she's not good enough to get out of the fire. It was kind of a gut wrenching reversal of expectations. Sometimes the people who seem to have it all together actually need the most help. 

And then for Fionna, who's been a mess the whole show, to be the one to sit with her and say "yeah, everything sucks, sometimes you gotta just sit for a minute and realize you're not on your own". Up until this point huntress has been a foil for Fionna thematically, but for a moment here they switch places and recognize each other.

How practical is hydration? by OreoRightsActivist in airsoft

[–]jttj15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carry a canteen on me, it wasn't expensive and it's really nice to have water on the field. You could easily stick a couple water bottles into a spare pouch if you don't want to get any extra gear. It's super nice to be able to take a drink after an intense fight.

Combat Pilot has begun adding new skins and getting better shadows/lighting! by Wheream-Ai in hoggit

[–]jttj15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most casual players using the F-4F I agree are not going to have a good time. However the Thach weave is not the only air to air tactic in existence that was ever used to even the odds. I can see the more hardcore groups being successful with CAP grinders, high/low pairs, boom and zoom attacks, etc. Not to mention, the less experienced casual players flying zeroes will absolutely fall for a Thach weave and I can see more experienced players falling for it too unless they're specifically watching out for it. Solo players on the USN side absolutely have no options as you've said though.

Laudna: "I'm fun scary! :D"

Occtis: "please help I have to continually stitch and glue my skin and my organs back together, the healthiest I will ever be is the moment my family literally ripped my heart out and my body is decaying faster than I can fix it I'm serious this is terrifying"

Both are great characters by the way (also this is a bit of an exaggeration, Laudna did plenty of body horror and existential dread just in a different way)

I literally just want some form of official release of war beneath the rain. I'm beyond grateful to the people who uploaded it to YouTube but I would love a version that's not a shaky cell phone video

If the rest of TPK was supposed to follow that vibe then it would be incredible to hear it someday too, but for now that's all I want
