This is a far larger discussion than I’m willing to get into, and I know it’s not one that’ll cheer me up too, so I’m going to bow out of it while in agreement with

don't give into the apathy and it won't win as easily.

That’s why in a many countries we still have a right to vote. :)

Well, you replied to the original poster so that’s hardly a mistake :)

The thing is that I agree. I don’t see Star Trek being a realistic future in any way, unfortunately. Now, the Terran empire on the other hand, minus the space faring stuff? Can’t be too far away. Doesn’t change my thoughts about violence though.

No, but Star Trek shows us we can change for the better. I’m not saying I have a solution to offer, but violence shouldn’t be encouraged or pushed higher up in the list of things to try…

Any programmer today would think this is incredibly quaint.

Like using a keyboard :D

you embodied that comic

Yeah, I had a moment of pause before starting, and then decided that fuck it, I like tanks and I’m going to talk about them :D

War Thunder has, IMO, good warplane fun. Or it had anyway, I haven’t played it in years. If you have a VR headset I suggest having a look at Warplanes: WWI Fighters on Steam. Very fun!

There’s reasonable differences here, at a glance War Thunder has everything aside from infantry combat, while World of Tanks has just tanks. Warplanes and Warships are two different Worlds. A little deeper, and WoT has a more arcade gameplay so while it’s still fairly realistic as far as mechanics, there’s things like health bars, medikits that can instantly heal crew members (that might be temporarily unavailable due to high caliber tank shell through the armor, and into them…), plus some balancing of things to at least try keeping the game fun. War Thunder is a more realistic experience, with fun things like being hit across the map, then having the shell shatter into the tank and killing the crew so that game is over for you. Regularly. I do like their warplanes though.

There’s also Armored Warfare, but that’s a forgotten one because it was a World of Tanks clone with modern tanks, it got mismanaged to hell, sold off, and then the new management turned out epic greedy. Mir Tankov is, for lack of better words, the Russian offices of World of Tanks after the invasion, so they saved face by cutting ties with what was technically the headquarters. There’s WarBirds, that’s probably 20 years old by now and it shows. Warplanes: WWI Fighters is a lovely VR game that channels your inner Red Baron thanks to realistically arcade physics.

Yeah. You didn’t ask for any of that :D

Edit: and I just realized it was about the War Thunder forums. Oh well.

That’s War Thunder, and somehow it happened a dozen of times. Like, do you need to win that argument that much? lol

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 1 points 2 weeks ago

The bloody morons… why they say 16 tops if it can do better? It’s not like they don’t have access to 16gb sticks to test 2 of them! Like, I get when it’s “this supports up to” and that’s the largest available at launch, but this is just stupid. Thanks for correcting me!

Right? When it started I felt it was a lose-lose situation: I might enjoy Apple products, but I do see the need to open them up at least a bit, so them winning would not be good. Epic winning on the other hand would give Epic something to stand on to criticize the greed of the 30% cut of Apple and Google, while apparently being fine with the same for EGS or consoles…

super easy to upgrade to 32/48gb

Not on an N95/97/100 as they support max 16… https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/231803/intel-processor-n100-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz.html so they can be repaired, but not upgraded.

That’s… just weird. There’s performance art, and whatever this has turned into with time.
