Storm Shadow missiles have a range of about 250km (155 miles), similar to the US Atacms, and have in the past been given to Kyiv by the UK and France to strike targets inside Ukraine’s internationally recognised borders.

This depends. The Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles Ukraine has, have had their range restricted to approximately this so far to comply with missile export controls and treaties. The domestic UK and French variants have an unrestricted range of around 560km/350mi, and there have been talks of sending Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles without restrictions to Ukraine. However, such a range could put Moscow in range of Ukrainian strikes, so I don’t think the US/UK or France will give Ukraine unrestricted Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, it would be seen as too large of an escalation/an unacceptable escalation. But crazier things have happened in this war so far…

Some of the writing I’ve seen online has just been straight up bad.

It’s not an agenda, it’s the reality. According to Reuters, Russia captured 196 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory in one week yesterday. To give you an idea of what that means in the scale of the conflict, Ukraine currently control 570 square kilometres of Kursk, and controlled a maximum of 1000 square kilometres at the peak of the incursion. This was touted as their massive offensive into Russian territory. In other words, Russia captured the equivalent of over a third of the Russian territory Ukraine holds in Kursk, in one week in Ukraine. Ukraine has lost multiple “fortress cities” over the past month, which has crippled their ability to defend their territory.

The fact that even the Economist, a source which is usually pro US foreign policy and pro Ukraine, is admitting that things are going bad in Ukraine should be very concerning.

I absolutely hate that argument, it would mean gambling addiction is not real. In other words: one of the most harmful addictions to public health is not an addiction by that definition, because there’s no “biological dependency”.

It just shows how hypocritical and Western biased the community is. Are Israeli and US maintainers ever going to get kicked out of projects for their countries many crimes? No of course not, they would never apply their own standards to themselves, which defeats the point of them in the first place.

No it can’t be! That means it’s 20 years old, that means I’m starting to get old

Real time weather has been in MSFS for a while if you want to turn it on, there were a ton of clickbait videos on YouTube about flying through hurricane Milton or Helene over the past few weeks.

I can think of no more fitting a fate for a game made by Marxists than having various spliter factions emerge after the studio’s death, each claiming to be the true heir to its lost legacy.

It’s really dull on lower difficulties because you can just shoot a ton of arrows and any machine dies easily. Especially when the game first released and the weapons were poorly balanced. However on the harder difficulties the combat is actually impoved, you actually have to hit the weak points of the robot dinosaurs and get them in elemental states, otherwise you’ll die instantly. The problem them becomes the game economy, everything just gets really expensive because the harder difficulties are designed around new game+ saves. So the best way to play is probably to use the harder difficulties for gameplay, and lowering the difficulty before buying any gear.

The mid game grind is by far the worst part of the game. The end game is very good, but my word the mid game is so poorly paced after you reach the big city called Meridian. Suddenly you have a ton of side quests and the main quest line splits in two, again.

I’m honestly surprised the game was made available to purchase for PC users and that a PC port existed. Sony usually doesn’t allow exclusives to be available on PC, I don’t think there will ever be a PC version of Gran Turismo 7 for instance.

This has to be the one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Streaming a playthrough of an entire game online misses the whole point of a review. Nevermind spoiling the entire story and gameplay, no publisher on earth is going to let a reviewer with early access put the final boss battle in a review for instance. As someone else said, this is like saying the only way to review movies is to watch a stream of the reviewer reacting to the whole movie.

I still remember playing Metal Gear Solid 3 for the first time as a kid, and the game started with a half hour long cutscene and history lesson combined with alt history. You legitimately do not touch the controller for the first 20+ minutes. It was a cool concept to set up the story, but I certainly can understand why people dislike it.

Hideo Kojima started it lol

Honestly my music taste was heavily influenced by video game soundtracks from games I played as a kid and teenager. Rise Against, TV On The Radio, Queens Of The Stone Age, etc, I heard them all first on video game soundtracks for the Need For Speed and Burnout games. So I guess that’s how I discovered music in the past? I definitely didn’t get it from my parents or classmates.

Chiropractors. It’s pseudoscience. Maybe it’s not the most unique opposition from me as I know some others dislike chiropractors, but I think it’s backwards that medical aids or health insurance will literally pay for their client’s appointments with these modern day charlatans, while denying payment of scientifically proven treatment options.
