- Comment on 'None of these people have ever made a game,' BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk says of game industry executives: 'They just don't know how it works' 1 week ago:
Umpopular opinion: bioware didn’t make a good game since 2010. these people maybe don’tknow howit works, but closing the studio was a right decision.
- Comment on MMO players (past and present): what is your attitude towards "forced" group content? 2 weeks ago:
Not sure about accessible group content in guild wars 2, dungeons - yes (but they are a buggy mess and not a group content), open world zergs and metas - yes, other instanced content - not really. Fractals are sort of accessible, but even on tier 1 you get some shit for not knowing all mechanics by the heart and not knowing shortcuts, etc. Raids (and former strikes) absolutely aren’t.
- Comment on WAR! What is it good for? 2 weeks ago:
Small here is at least 10” (and nobody uses it on them) and more often 15"/17"/22”. Fiber is expensive and using <20km is not viable. It weights a lot, it creates bigger profile, etc., etc.
- Comment on WAR! What is it good for? 2 weeks ago:
Ew is hard, you can’t really saturate the whole spectrum, and it’s pretty easy to adapt to by changing frequencies.
- Comment on WAR! What is it good for? 2 weeks ago:
Fiber optics is pretty rare compared to regular analog, and there is obvious price, range and battery considerations.
But yeah they need to be fit.
- Comment on WAR! What is it good for? 2 weeks ago:
Drone operator is the most risky job right now, they are a few kilometers back from the frontline but that’s about where positive side of things ends.
Infantry in the hottest part of the front just sits there (for month sometimes, true) if there is an assault they are trying to kill someone, but that’s about it.
Compared to pilots, where they need very specific places due to radio horizon, they need pretty bulky antennae (which needs either battery or generator to work so requires constant attention), they need to manage explosives, they need to charge batteries on time, they need to go out constantly, they are working for 12 hours every day at least, they need to change equipment (different frequencies require different antennas), they need good or at least passable internet connection and they are biggest targets close to the frontline, m*scovites often use multiple bombs just to destroy one single position if found. Believe me they aren’t see-trough thin nerds.
There are attack positions that don’t use analog video and fly digital only. Either over starlink or lte or any other type of connection, but all of them with exception of satellite connection are ausceptible to the same problems as analog. And if the pilots themselves are further out they need spotters that are close to the frontline which need to manage everything still, they just don’t fly.

There were a lot of legitimate uses for urine. It was used in tanning, for cleaning, for making gunpowder.

- Comment on B2C magic services 2 months ago:
Whole mages guild questline is a bit weird, like there is a guy who dislikes necromancy for some reason and you need to kill necromancers for him ‘cause thry are evil or something (also necromancy is legal in empire).

DHT was created like 20 years ago just for this purpose, they work just fine.

With Ukraine nothing, with google play where this emulator is published obviously a lot, also bigger services even local often comply with DMCA requests even if they aren’t required to honor them or take any action by law.

Partially skipped most of it, not that interested in the topic nor have a lot of time to listen to someone narrate three sentences for 12 minutes.
