This has to be one of the most incompetent attempts at a fascist coup of late.

Just played The Quarry, and it was a blast. Can highly recommend if you enjoy choices based story games. My favorite genres are story games, turn based tactical, and roguelikes. I find I don't have a huge amount of time to play, so I like games that aren't too complex and that you can pick up and play without having to remember how the game works.

Didn't follow TGAs this year. For 2024 games, I really enjoyed Selaco, Spiritfall, Portal Revolution, and Arco.

I'm hoping we'll get videos of it soon. Will be pretty awesome to see it inaction.

It's highly unlikely that there's no possible method for detecting stealth craft, so if the problem hasn't been cracked then it will be eventually. Betting everything on stealth seems like a deeply flawed strategy to me as well.

Interestingly enough it looks like it's stealthy enough for practical purposes. It definitely looks like they made the right compromise with stealth to retain actual maneuverability.

The Russian Air Force has demonstrated high confidence in the Su-57’s stealth capabilities, and has deployed the fighters for high intensity combat operations to parts of the Ukrainian theatre with particularly high concentrations of Ukrainian air defences.

The Su-57 program has prioritised reducing maintenance needs and operational costs to avoid the very low availability rates that have plagued America’s F-117, F-22 and F-35 stealth fighter fleets. One notable means by which this had been achieved is through reduced reliance on radar absorbent coatings, which was achieved by using innovative solutions such as radar absorbent fibreglass. In contrast to American stealth fighters which consistently cost far more to operate than their fourth generation predecessors, this approach allows the Su-57 to potentially achieve lower operational costs than its direct predecessor the Soviet Su-27, thus allowing Russia to move its fleet into the fifth generation without either significantly raising sustainment funding or contracting the number of fighters in service.

When push comes to shove the mask always falls off.

oh yeah that would've been been better wording

every lemmy lib completely unironically

Even if they do, the west is just 13% of the world population. All they're going to accomplish is to isolate the west which will keep falling behind technologically while the rest of humanity moves on.
