Because otherwise the cops get called when I get that good hit in.

/whoosh

I think the tactical issue should have been the giant flashing neon sign.

As lwl already said, the reason that gaijin’s statement matters is because none of the leaks that I saw posted on war thunder’s forums were for clout. This isn’t the dumbass in discord posting stuff because he got pissed off that others didn’t believe how cool he was. All of them were because the player had a beef with the developer’s take on the capabilities of a tank/plane and they wanted gaijin to use the real world takes on what their favorite little machine could do.

As far as cooperating, why would they need to in order to keep the leaks coming? These are gamers, and specifically simulation lovers who sometimes have nearly disorder-like focus on war machines, not dipshits in an office trying to use microsoft word. If gaijin didn’t cooperate and a country tried to block the forums for war thunder, the users would probably rant for five minutes, then fire up a vpn or proxy and log in.

Considering that they’ve basically said everything to stop the postings aside* from threatening to ban people from the game, I’d say they actually don’t want the posts.

*They’ve said they will never used the leak material for game design purposes, and they also cooperate in the prosecutions of the leakers, IIRC with the nato/western leaks.

I start considering price, value, but also have to consider if it’s a garbage product or not, oh hey, do we need dried noodles

Yeah, none of that is bad, but when my partner decides that it takes five minutes a product for each decision, I get annoyed. If you can’t figure it out in five seconds, the differences are obviously not a big enough deal.

Lol, I don’t even have a map in my head. I walk the same route every time, because I get the same items every time. If I want variety or spice in my food life, I can go to a restaurant once a month. The rest of the time food can be as bare, repetitive, and thus simple as possible.

My mind somehow meshes the ideas from butcher’s dresden books, where your belief in an icon as a symbol of the faith matters more than its actual connection to the religion, and lackey’s high magic (compared to the wild magic) where the collective energy of the populace can be collected and stored to be used. So I end up with this idea where the catholic church has collected a vast amount of energy to be used, and the utterance of latin is the individual’s (in this case constantine’s) personal symbolic link to the catholic church to harness that energy.

The globe? Sure. A region, or even a country? It’s more common than you think. Sales, ‘professionals’ with conferences, and people that work for large companies that have people meeting… these all move large amounts of folks around for work, and hotels are easy to book, invoice to the company, and are generally next to a conference center or have it in the same building.
