Good night Dick!

“None. You just…play the game, the whole game, to have fun!”

Surely this is a trick?

We have dubbed this span since 1945 “the long peace” which largely this refers to there not being 2 or more wealthy nations in a hot war since the end of WW2. It’s been proxy wars pitting poorer nations against each other - armed by rich nations, and wealthy nations going to war with poorer nations. (Poorer nations going to war and civil wars nonwithstanding because they do not impact global politics)

A vehicle (according to their website) that is 61k base, 81k for awd (2024) and 81k base (2025) to 101k (loaded) is 10% or less of a discount. If it’s a sliding scale and you don’t get that “up to” 6k unless Loaded, that is barely over 5%.

Maybe videogame economies have spoiled my idea of “discounts” and pricing of real items but “priced to sell” means better than hearing 95% of normal. I couldn’t say what dealers actually call fair when it comes to actually selling cars in this bracket for a profit but 25% might get sales moving again. (It works for home appliances, why not cars?).

I dive for super earth and space marines when I want other people around because while teammates are nice and all, I know we won’t lose (as often) due to player agency if someone has to get kicked (or drops, or dies)

Lots of games have poor matchmakers whether by malicious design or outright laziness. Over a decade ago Ubisoft specifically pattented a matchmaker learning tool that watches how long you play, how many matches you play, and how many losses you “put up with” without quitting, thereby deciding how often to sprinkle in steamroll wins. They swore it was “just to patent it and that no projects are planned to use this”, but when does the industry not lie through their teeth.

It’s an ouroborus - a self feeding problem that will always be able to Boogeyman the problem it caused. Those employees will then be painted as wasting money by tying up courts for settlements, decried like the McDonald’s coffee incident all over again.

What a proactive defense to prevent misinterpretations of their words!

This specific ship probably was not have been involved in those, but one like it would be. If you’re going to break something you need to know where it is. The link I found shows 5 total converted vessels like this in the Black Sea Fleet alone (They’re listed as Project 861M)

I stated she’s not alone because she only has a single SAM battery, and low top speed/fuel reserves. Something like this needs a refueler and protection escort, even if it’s a destroyer or 2.

Did a bit of digging, this is “Intelligence Ship Kilden” not a converted or re-activated Kilden Class destroyer (none of which were named Kilden, and all were deactivated by 1991). The ship is converted from a Hydrographic survey vessel (1970), outfitted with 16 “Strela” SAM missiles. Given her 30 day endurance and less than 10k nautical miles range, she was not out here alone - and suspiciously there’s been a lot of underwater stuff broken in the recent years - the kind of thing a hydrographic ship would be great at locating.

She’s powered by 4 diesel generators feeding 2 1800hp engines, so “thick black smoke coming from the funnel” means she probably blew an engine, and damaged the other for the moment, with no power to her screws (resulting in the Loss of Control signal) and as a result was “sacrificial lamb’d” by her surface complement in case of discovery. If they get the engine(s) back up and running, she will probably be rejoined by a conveniently close escort of some kind “to ensure she makes it back to port safely”.

You build up Fuel to do it with manual fighting, and you have to set every move/action individually, per character, ahead of time. This is good for like endgame grinding, like Martial Training 5 (enemies in a 3*3) but more complex stuff, especially story missions that have long winding paths, the scripted movements become unreliable. (You don’t get access to the auto battler until post-game anyway.

We don’t talk about disgaea 6 anymore. 7 fixed that.

Haha Dont look too closely now. Do you want the large wooden horse or not

I swear. The harder they mess with this type of stuff the more single-issue-voters it pushes to vote against them. This war on media is such a losing battle I don’t understand why they’re opting to wage it with the current fish on the grill. This kind of unpopular legislation is stuff you try and push when you’re in power, and try to sell it as an “eat your veggies” moment. Rebranding while they’re down certainly makes for an interesting conversation when they rubber band back into power and say “we’ve said we were gonna do this since 2025” type conversation.
