I was honestly surprised by how well it held up. The battles still feel impressively huge. Have fun with it!

Not even "just" against Ukraine. Kadyrov is pro-honour-killing, has advocated nuking Ukraine, claimed to be sending his own 14-year-old son to fight, and has been described by Human Rights Watch as being responsible for such widespread torture that it is a crime against humanity.

Does a remake of the first Wipeout count? It was technically made very recently, as the source code was leaked in 2022 and a couple of projects re-built the game based on that, but the original came out in 1995

If that doesn't count then it's Battle Engine Aquila from 2003

Mine likes to graze throughout the day and would ignore the entire second half of any wet food I gave him, so dry food is the better option for us. I get him the best stuff I can and he gets stuck right in whenever I pour some more of it. I give him fancy wet food as a treat every so often too, just on the understanding that it will be somewhat wasted

Advocating a strong response to Russia lets him act out his Churchill fantasy, so he has a motivation to be less of a shitebag for a moment

Maybe in the sense that there'd be less competition for the relatively rare materials needed for EV batteries?

The bible would surely never support people changing their names to reflect their social role either, like when Jesus gave Simon the name Cephas or Peter to reflect his position as the rock the church was founded on

HAVEN'T THESE PEOPLE EVER READ A BOOK FOR FUCKS SAKES

Uhh, yeah, and that's how they know that the best magic swords are in tombs. Where else would you go looking for them?

Honestly it don't think it matters much if they hold it in the long run. Ukraine isn't likely to be trying to annex it, and it forces Russia to divert resources from other fronts to handle it. If Ukraine can make retaking it very costly then even if Russia succeeds, Russia has had to spend a whole bunch of lives and materiel to gain literally zero Ukrainian land

Ukrainian military analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko commented that he believes the Volnorez system’s capability to be overstated, describing it as practically useless. He argues that it has been deployed on the battlefield for a year without significantly impacting on the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s (AFU) kamikaze drone attacks.

I know nothing about this guy's credentials, but this was my first thought. I have seen so many tanks getting destroyed by drones. Are these systems not getting deployed or do they not work?

With all due respect this is literally just a guy saying that he's personally better at reading analogue clocks than digital ones for 18 minutes

They did something similar in a big refurbishment of the town centre of the place I grew up in (in the UK). No road markings, roads and pavements both done with Belgian blocks, and just some big stone bollards to separate the pedestrians and traffic. Turns out drivers kept hitting the bollards so now they all have hi-vis reflective strips on them. Which definitely did not grant me much confidence in the driving skills of my town.
