On D day the USS Texas couldn't physically elevate the guns any higher in their mounts to lob the shells at German positions as they retreated further from the ocean. So they intentionally took on water on one side of the ship, elevating the other side, and enabling the guns to shoot further.
I intentionally have north is always up on my map app. It is easier to recognize cardinal directions while doing terrain association, and it makes passengers upset.
I am imagining the horrible graphics of Red Baron 3d (1998) played at a ludicrously crisp frame rate through VR goggles. The game had fast forward and play buttons because it took so long to fly over to the trenches or to ascend to a decent altitude. Solid idea though, it would be hectic with numerous biplanes dog fighting over France.
Edit: there are youtube videos of players using VR headsets and flying biplanes on IL-2 Sturmovik: Flying Circus (2019).
I've been buying second hand dvds for awhile, and I also got a brand new Xbox finally. I threw a DVD in it, and it needed to download software to play it. I was a little irked, consoles used to be something that you could buy brand new and it just worked but everything needs a day one patch anymore. The smart TV is never going on the internet, but that doesn't stop it from trying to talk to any smart phones that come into the house.
The thought of having your digital foot print live on forever was kind of neat, but most of it wasn't worth remembering or will probably get deleted after a few decades anyways. Future generations will ever know about the witty banter on yahoo answers.
Wouldn't it be incredible if smaller tech companies spread out a bit? There are plenty of small towns in America that could use any form of industry to keep them alive.
Disc drive consoles are great for people who go months with terrible or no internet. People in the military, or just about anyone who goes out to sea can get a disc mailed to them. It is nice to have physical media to play the games off of.
I am pretty excited to slowly repost all my old content here over the course of several months to reap all those fake internet points again. It isn't reposting if it is a new website.
