why is diesel in the turret ring
summer cedar
exemplary design.
summer cedar
the designer probably thought some propulsive combustion in the turret would add to the tank's speed.
the first afterburner.
empty dune
Not by intentional design, the driver could have closed the hatch.
im still struggling to understand how diesel injected into the tank below the turret casing climbs up to the ring
mossy nexus
The diesel is just overflow from people not paying attention. It's not like they thought this was a great idea for some reason 😄

No, no. Nothing is an accident.
We do everything purposely and then claim it's an accident.

Once you run out of ammo, you need to set the whole tank on fire and kamikaze.

The ideal vehicle would be the tankcopter, or the Heliank.

Fuel tanks run along side of the tanks, with refuelling caps at the top of the engine deck. So silly people spilling diesel sometimes ends up doing the thing.

@timber viper the protag in ac7 is called trigger and his nickname is three strikes. As in the american baseball 3 strikes and youre out thing. He's portrayed as this demon lord of legend and his rival is an old dude called Mihaly (which is dutch for michael) and his nickname is Archange (archangel in french). They fight exactly three times and the third time Mihaly fights trigger in a plane called the X-02S Wyvern and by then triggers logo evolves into a claw mark with 3 claws. and they fight each other while "splitting the sky wide open" by using plane mounted railguns
the music heavily hints at this being archangel michael descending from the heavens to fight the demon lord XD

I heard of a military prototype project here called the Ghost Shark, its clearly named after the Ghost Bat which is a aerial combat drone. Its alittle worrying though, can you imagine an aquatic drone that pretends to be a shark then turns into a mine or torpedo on command

how is that supposed to work?
being a game dev is pretty much ACTIVE work, not passive

Microtransactions are technically passive income.

then you may be able to live of microtransactions for a few weeks
until the players want new content

Helps if you're laundering money or in a third world pocket with an extremely low cost of living.

i think as indie you need a lot of luck to survive with your game
and hit the market at the right time, when there's demand and not many "products"

Yes. One of them was Cult of the Lamb.

honestly I enjoyed the show more than the game, Im not the biggest fan of the games. Its just abit too heavy on the Americana for me but it makes the franchise so its just not for me
summer cedar
You know, when I played Fallout for the first time, I didn't even realise it was post-apocalyptic AMERICA.
I was a bit young at the time, but I never realised the places in the story corresponded to the real USA.
pearl elk
how can you miss it with the yankee bugles everywhere lol
summer cedar
I didn't know yankee meant NYC in USA at the time. 😄
The way I played games back then and even now, is to simply play them as standalone universes. I never thought to associate them with IRL stuff. Mind you, I didn't have a gaming gang around me to point me in those directions in the first place.
When I finally figured it out, I think it was probably in Fallout 2 or 3; I saw some large building that was reminiscent of one in the USA and I was like, "Wait... this is America!"
pearl elk
Ive always been more of a fan of Mad Max style wasteland but its probably because its more culturally relevant to me, Im biased 😭

Its interesting to get to meet the narrator though, its not often those two worl...
And the way he narrates the story makes it all the more immersive. I didn't like the sequel and spin-off of 300 much, because I missed hearing the one-eyed dude's charismatic narration.
The worthless sex scene was... worthless.

If they want to include sex scenes, movie directors should at least figure out how to make them add to the story, tell us more about the characters, or at least introduce some interesting element.
Otherwise, just release them as separate on-demand content that people can pay and view, or even view for free on their own time.

Well I know Zack Snyder is not the best writer but Ive got to give him credit for trying, Spielberg was an amazing writer and just stopped
Even Christopher Nolan people dont realise his best work is when his brother helps. Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, all Jonathan Nolan writing/cowriting
hmm it seems Spielberg did write most of the Medal of Honour games, wonder if he used ghost writers or not

no, "Ghost" is an entry in the competing series call of duty

It is not unheard of diagnostic, maybe there is a flag forcing it, you can disable probably.

the good part about combile all the small games in the same project its this is easier to update in between modules
the worst part is now I have to wait to 10 plugins to get an update
and I don't have the 5.3 installed so cannot get the old versions
Epic should change that tbh
