This game is so fucking sick. Its got overpowered mech fun stuff but when you're playing one of the lighter units you really get a feel for just how vulnerable you are, its awesome. There is an accompanying novel (havent read it, sounds cool though). To the people who are considering it: note that it is not a twin stick shooter, but rather meant to be a vehicular combat game. The direction the vehicle is facing (hull, turret, legs, ect) matters a lot and some people have found this aspect to be unexpected and frustrating.

This was a chemical explosion in a port in Tianjin, China in 2015.

Your analysis is always very sober, very grounded, and highly appreciated. Thank you for doing what you do 💗

There are a lot of factors and its going to be hard to predict. Wind, humidity, the yield of the bomb, the actual amount of radioactive material present on-site and if the facility was hardened or not, there's probably more than that. Generally speaking, there are evacuation and response plans already written up for the areas nearby reactors, but those are only for meltdowns or leaks. IIRC no one has ever deliberately blown up a facility like those in Israel or Iran so its unclear if standard evacuation and containment procedures would suffice in that case. Imagine Chernobyl but worse, in an active warzone.

It works to get past the paywall but its not an elegant solution by any means, youll probably have to keep re-archiving the URL to get the updates.

This is my comfort film and I think I've watched it at least 10 times, I stopped counting in 2020. The first half of the movie is very entertaining but the rest of it drags a lot up until the climax at the end. When you buy the DVD from the guy himself you get a post card with a topless glamour shot on the front and an order form for his clothing line on the back. I love this film but it is also deeply misogynistic and paints women mostly as vindictive nags that take advantage of, and then destroy "good men" like Johnny.

It might just be my experience but it seems like people have forgotten how to behave in movie theatres over the past half decade or so. Theres definitely been more people talking, phone noises, and generally rude behavior coming from audiences. Theres a couple people I refuse to go see movies with because they do shit like this. Its like the effect of everyone staying inside for a couple months and then getting covid anyways kinda fucked up some peoples ability to conform to social norms.

Also, from the article...

Travers then countered that Scorsese, 82, likely behaved in a similar way when he was younger. “‘Come on, Marty,’ I said, ‘we couldn’t keep our mouths shut when we were kids.’” Travers added: “His [Scorsese’s] eyes darkened. ‘Yeah, maybe,’ he conceded, ‘but when we talked it was always about the movie and the fun we had chewing over the details.’”

Scorsese is totally lying out of his ass in that last bit lmao.

This is the creators website. There is a demo as well as versions for the PS3 and XBOX 360.

The wide availability of FLIR is practically inevitable at this point given how much cheaper and more compact the they've gotten. Countermeasures are taking a long time to catch up though.
