    Google Shutting Down Stadia's In-House Game Development Studio

    I was expecting this to happen. Google always wants things fast, and they don't have the patience to dig deep and get down and do the work, they always want fast results. Quite frankly it might have been better for them had they bought up Mihoyo and used Genshin Impact as Stadia's killer app...

    What are you playing currently?

    The usual games I'm playing - Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact. There's The Division 2 but I have had zero motivation to play that for quite a long time now. There's also Black Powder Red Earth, a turn based isomatric tactics game, where you lead a 4-man SF squad through various...

    NGSW imfo comes out

    at the most pessimistic, even if NGSW fails, we will at least have the switchover from brass to polymer cases, which will be a QOL improvement for the infantry, because polymer is way lighter than brass, and because it's an insulator, you can pick up freshly ejected polycases with your bare...

    NGSW imfo comes out

    Even the biggest heaviest trauma plates don't cover the entire body. They protect the lungs and the major organs, but you can still die from taking a round in the shoulder, in the face, in the balls. There are diminishing returns with armor, weight and cost penalties involved in going up...

    NGSW imfo comes out

    I don't think the recoil and weight penalty of 6.8mm is worth the tradeoff in the infantry rifle (as opposed to being the SAW round). Here's the problem: even in peer enemies, not everybody is wearing body armor, not everybody is wearing Level IV plates like America, the kind of plates that will...

    NGSW imfo comes out

    A lot of things they want in NGSW are actually good, like polymer cased ammo and the smart scope*, but I think 6.8mm is a mistake borne of the GWOT and the fact that flag and field grade officers today were field grade and junior officers in Afghanistan getting shot at from outside effective...

    How different would WW2 be if the U.S. somehow recived all 282 of it's current A-10 Thunderbolts just in time for D-day?

    Steel AP kinda defeats the point of the gun and BRRT though. Like, the Warthog can get guns kills on WW2 tanks because the DU ammo will be able to punch through tank armor, that's less of a sure thing with steel AP vs DU HVAP (which is what the 30mm API effectively is). A-10Cs received wiring...

    Brigadier General Chuck Yeager, Age 97

    Gotta give him especial props to this: upon learning that he'd been genderbent into a magical girl for Strike Witches, Yeager reportedly asked of his alternate self: "Does she have the biggest rack?" As a friend of mine put it: The enlightened question of a man who knows it to be impossible to...
