  • Autoloader is both advantage and disadvantage at the same time. You don't need another crew member, but the mechanism proved itself to be deadly when tanks get hit.

    The weight itself is a huge factor though. Modern tanks get to absurd numbers where it's getting difficult to operate them at all.

  • That's why I wrote "new/old design". T-72 and 80 are vastly improved, but still based more or less on design of T-54.

  • The amount of cars: yes.

  • How is that any surprise on modern battlefield? Compared to the situation decade(s) ago, tank is just a prey with so much real time reconnaissance drones and long range precision weapons around.

    From what I've read the main difference between tanks like Abrams/Leopard 2 and old designs like T-72/80/Leopard 1 is that once modern tank is knocked out/damaged/destroyed it doesn't necessarily mean all the crew members are dead.

  • I don't get it, what's so special about this?

  • It's pretty good for what it is. I finished it once years ago. Tried it again last year, got almost to the end and somehow lost interest. Still have it on my drive, so I might actually finish it.

  • Except for power consumption and heat generation ;-) This is where Bulldozers were hot shit!

  • Sony went the apple way. Next stand will be brushed aluminium for mere $999...

  • I started old gem Arx Fatalis. I tried to chew through it during last two decades, but I always failed. Not because of the game itself, because it is indeed very cool. This time I believe I will emerge victorious!

  • America... Fuck you! Classic.

  • When either of those things happen it is a good idea to run steam (lutris, bottles) from terminal to see what it's trying to do while "not working". Helped me couple times.

  • Unless you're European. Then driving manual is considered basic life skill like riding a bike.

  • I've read interesting conspiracy, that Tunguska incident overlaps exactly with Nicola Tesla's attempts to wireless transfer of energy. Was an interesting idea and read, even though very unlikely to be based on real event.

  • As a dumb guy this would give me no clue. My 2c, if you're interested in him, just tell him. Plain, straight, no bullshit around. Don't try to obfuscate it or hide it in double meaning phrases, be as direct as possible.

    If I can generalize, we guys are dumb idiots that usually can't read what women hide between lines. We need it in simple sentences, ideally in written form to be really sure we understand it right.

  • Yeah, basically. Except for the S part.

  • Well, then there's another stupid game... "Hey hon' do I look fat in these jeans?"

  • Because it is, right? Right?!? When your car brakes makes weird noises you replace them to fix it and stop whining. Why doesn't this work with women too? /s

  • It's not that it's that important, but what I saw from Fairphone 1 or 2 (I don't know which model exactly, maybe even 3) was really underwhelming. Not that my current phone makes epic photos, otoh it cost me about third of a Fairphone. Their mission is great and that's why I'd consider phone from them. I wouldn't mind slower CPU or less storage for my needs, but not improving camera from my current phone doesn't make sense for me to switch.
