This is some good Kinja right here.

"...smartphone and online PC games."

The short answer is that the area-denial weapons capabilities of our likely adversaries are getting better and better every day, and the US Air Force needs to be able to penetrate those defenses without losing planes or pilots in order to accurately strike designated mission targets.

"The payload requirements will be less than the B-2 Spirit, said to be somewhere in the realm of 3/5s the big batwing bomber's heavy lifting ability, resulting in a smaller flying machine overall."

Which anime is this from?

Or four simple words, in this case:

The thing about a concept is that it should be an indicator of what a car maker can do for real-world production, given enough time. "This design and these features are what you can expect to see in the Mercedes-Benz of 2025" is a good reason to make a concept car. "Look at this ca-rayzeee office car with no windows…

Once again, Doug speaks the truth.

Does the car use any kind of fake engine noise pumped through the speakers, either for pedestrians or drivers?

I find this especially amusing, considering how strict the drug laws in Japan are.

Ha! Didn't even have to run it through Google translate to understand that one. Amusing!

AKA "Shelter 2: KITTEHHHHH!!!"

Yes! This will be good for when I've re-played the game a few times on PC and beat every available mode. I can go back to playing the game on normal, get sloshed out of my gourd, and listen to these beautiful 90s game dialogue gems while I laugh my ass off.

Interesting, I was unaware of that. Nevertheless you are referencing engagements that occurred over a quarter-century ago. Guns do have their uses on fighters, but air-to-air combat is no longer one of them.

I see where you are coming from, but have there honestly been any engagements since Vietnam where the victor was decided by who was equipped with a cannon? Because the advancements in BVR tech since then are, quite frankly, staggering.

So tell me again why a traditional vulcan gun is useful against other aircraft when the F-35 is bristling with BVR weaponry? I'd rather shoot down something before it sees me than give it a chance to get close enough to require a WWII-style gun battle. Missiles > guns in a plane-on-plane fight.

What is the world record for beating the game without "cheesing" by using wall glitches, etc? I love a good speedrun and I'm always impressed at the in-game exploits people can find, but I always like knowing how long it takes experts to beat the game without having to rely on glitches.

As much as I like zombie- and open-world-style games, I just can't bring myself to preorder anything anymore unless I know for a fact it will be good. For example, I preordered the Grim Fandango remaster because according to everyone I know who has played the game, it's freaking awesome.

Wow, I actually have the GC version and I never noticed before now! Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am now playing on my PC and the monitor is much closer to my eyes, thus bringing out little details I didn't see before.

I'm just waiting for a mod that fixes the newly-added janky boob physics in the PC version of the RE remaster. I don't mind a bit of chestular sway, but boobs do not work that way in real life! It's like Jill is walking around on the moon or something.
