P→Q: Stellar Blade is a horny game. P: Eukie dislikes Stellar Blade Q: Eukie dislikes all horny games Is that so? You support your conclusions about what I believe about "horny games" based on an absence of evidence? That's an unusual approach.

I talked about Stellar Blade, not "horny media". You're editorialising and the "logical conclusions" you've been drawing are making shit up.

I'm way less concerned with finding something for myself than I am with that slimy feeling I get whenever I'm exposed to Stellar Blade and reminded of how dehumanising sexual objectification actually is. I'd like to not feel like my entire gender is being evaluated on the basis of how much we...

I'm going to say there's a tactical advantage to having the bunker nonetheless: it doesn't make you any more vulnerable, the Germans are just good at countering those defences so they're not impregnable--and it's going to force the Germans to commit combat engineers, a limited resource, to the...

There are certain advantages to collapsing (parts of) buildings before you fortify them: it won't collapse on you during the fighting, and if you torch a wooden building ahead of time the chances of a fire breaking out during the battle are much lower, which is good if you're inside the...

That sounds like it runs a high chance of getting you ousted by Brezhnev's clique earlier than normal. These goals are basically incompatible! You want less military and an even more fractious relationship with China while also going harder on military support for allies in Africa?

Kill Yuri Andropov and be really annoyed that I can't give the world linear programming 19 years early because it's been over a decade since I took that course.

The Waffen-SS was an outsider too, and saw themselves as separate and different from, the aristocratic, Prussian military and its heritage. This included a (partial) rejection of the class divisions inherent in the enlisted/officer divide and a celebration of intrasoldier camaraderie, which...

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Who's the leader of the club that's made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Who is marching coast to coast and far across the sea? Mickey Mouse (Mickey Mouse!) Mickey Mouse (Mickey Mouse!) Dreiser: "My thoughts drift back to erect nipple wet dreams about Mary Jane...

I see the Draka have extensive experience fighting against the ChiComs in Korea and have developed operational requirements accordingly.

When you have enough of it, land isn’t as important as people. Production is people. Draka just, conveniently, has way more people than they should. So to justify being the bad guys who always win they need to be Heinleinian Übermensch, and the evil and political and economics is secondary to...

A mortar's characteristics are high-angle fire and relatively low velocity and pressure, which lets them be lighter than howitzers firing equivalent-size projectiles, but also limits range. Typical mortar sizes, from WWII to the present, are 60 mm, 81 mm, 107 mm, and 120 mm, give or take a few...

This is a ridiculous amount of firepower to put in an airborne company, or any company, not to mention to stick in a single platoon. For comparison, the US Army, who are basically swimming in gear and the trucks to move them in WWII compared to everyone else, gave a 12.7 mm HMG, two 7.63 mm...

I have a name, you know! Sloped armour and 120 mm gun is certainly doable in WWII: the IS-2 with its 122 mm gun and sloped armour arrived in 1943. The turbo-compound engine was also around as prototypes, with commercial (or “commercial”) variants like the Napier Nomad and Dobrynin VD-4K...
