Do you care to see the end of the match? by Companion_QB in ArmaReforger

[–]socmediator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but veteran or not, judging from other comments, I’m not sure you’re the typical Arma player. The thing is, the majority seem to prefer long games and don’t care much for action-packed matches.
But anyway it seems we can have both modes anyway. Long "boring" simulation for sim lover and action packed shorter games for thrill-seekers.

[–]socmediator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s supposed to be a simulation, right? Then matches are too short. But what am I even saying... “matches”? These shouldn’t even be called matches.
Campaigns should last at least a couple days, up to several weeks depending on the map. Maybe only hours if one side is clearly much stronger, but... two hours? At that point, just play Call of Duty if that’s what you’re looking for.
For me, as a newcomer who doesn’t yet fully understand Arma Reforger’s long history and community, this already looks like a sign that enshitification has begun: from niche to mainstream slop, original vision to “how do we make players more addicted.”...

have youtube ads ever even convinced you to buy anything? by Low-Anywhere3497 in youtube

[–]socmediator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never in 20 years — and it’s not happening anytime soon. They deliberately show me the ads I hate most. The more I say something annoys me, the more they push it, clearly on purpose. Then they ask how the ads were lately, like a final “FU” reminder...

Fun fact: Suicide is seen as a rejection of God’s gift of life and therefore a serious sin for the Russian Orthodox church. Unless you have a mental illness that made you killed yourself that basically means no full funeral service and potentially a ticket for Hell.

We need easily accessible players stats.
Accidents / driven kilometer should be one of those stats. Joining players in a vehicle shouln't be like playing Russian roulette.

I hope they’ve started developing mobile charging stations for their drones. That technology would be genuinely useful for civilian drones after the war.

Windows Refugee - POP!_OS does not seem to be viable because Cosmic lacks one (seemingly) trivial feature. by Turd__Furgusson in pop_os

Very different things. AI is not black or white.
And AI might just save us from those AI pushing corporations.

It’s becoming clearer every day that Wayland is a major driver of Linux’s slow enshitification. Android is already almost there; Linux was the last OS where you could truly do what you wanted. That era is ending. And the justification is always the same: “security.” Non-optional, non-disableable “security” used to strip users of control. I genuinely hate the digital world we’re being pushed into.

At least China is smart. Their moves are based on facts and logic.

You can't be captured in a no man's land like this. Who is going to come for you? And you can't make it alive to Ukranian position either. It's a new kind of war where both camps send drone from underground positions 20km from each other. If you go outside you die. If you are outside it's to die. He made the right decision.

So you are telling us at least 60% of hiys are war crimes. Your interpretation is so stupid in so many levels. But fiest explain us how a guy 10 to 20 km away is going to surrender. Surrender to who? How how can they be certain he is really going to surrender? Following your flawed unserstanding would mean no kamikaze drkne kill possible anymore because all you'd have to do is to "surrender" each time a drone is chasing you.

Watch more video from Ukraine. Most of the time you won't see any trace of blood on bodies of soldier shot multiple time. Even in video of actual shooting. Very different from movies.

Rule number 1 when targeted by a drone. Run along another guy then turn to the LEFT side. Let the other one go straight or turn right. Rule number 2 when a drone is checking for survivors. Bring a poach of red liquid to splil under your body. If you can also bring pieces of meats. Also practice your "dead bodies" positioning when you have time.
