Sometimes they will bring opinions to an opinion fight! Aggregated ones compiled into data!

Maybe I can hope that this just makes them both irrelevant.

Yeah I think I got myself down to 7. No one in the discord group I frequent does a "just give me anything" for โญ trades anymore lol

algorithmic improvements to take *some* shortcuts that we're actually seeing it work in real time. It used to only be used in pre-rendered scenes and photos.

But in some games with a good traditional lighting system, it can be hard to tell a difference.

True "ray tracing" lights the scene by calculating actual light rays and their reflections off of surfaces using lots and lots of math. As you might image by that description, it's extremely computationally expensive. But modern graphics cards have stuffed a lot of hardware inside and made

Have they done a bite mark analysis to know that it's from sharks? Could it be from true Orcas? Or some kind of mating/territorial behavior from other False Killer Whales?

That seems unlikely, given that they were originally buying them from Iran and then started making them domestically so that they can keep using them on Ukraine. I don't think Russia has the capacity to do both.

That is an entirely different event.

Ok but like DPRK kinda are caricatures.

Just there's a difference between "our military would win handily in a direct conflict" and "direct conflict would be a good idea".

Mostly so it doesn't just miss and keep going into a city nearby!

Didn't used to be this way! It used to be that Gen 1 fans were insufferable. "Man, Pokemon these days just lost all the magic! Everything is so boring!" They even got a a derogatory name by the rest of us: genwunners. People my age who acted like that mostly learned to log off finally.

Maybe it was an AIM-9 but the Kuwaiti pilot lost his contact or something.

Man just saw 3 radar hits coming in hot and saw his opportunity. He probably had 3 or more missiles to spare.

Ok the best game I can use to describe this is called 'DCS':

A Kuwaiti F/A-18 shot down 3 US F-15Es. I hope this helps!

Tbf, when you load into the server with hot start on, your IFF isn't turned on in the Hornet. Classic DCS mistake.

So...let me get this straight: he is hurt by the times that people said his statements on Gaza were implicitly antisemitic, so in a cruel twist of irony, he makes the same mistake against you.

Very different circumstances. Support for this war is at 27%.

Support for Iraq started off at over 70%.

that the F-15Es carry no missiles and can only use guns on air threats, and that the Iranian jets they were possibly dogfighting Iranian drones. He also said that Kuwait was peppering the sky with "anti-air chaff" and then clarified that he meant flak...like WWII flak.

I'm so tired...
