For what it's worth, I'm playing fine on a T.Flight Hotas X (I'm trying to do my hard mode run with it; will probably get back to the dual sense for the ace run). But I'm not a sim player, just an AC fan.

Nuh uh, wrong comparison. Ace Combat is not b-movie, it's anime. Anime all the way. Tell me that this song is not pure anime opening material.
Please report back after finishing the game, there's some very memorable things (and I don't want to spoil you).
I've finished in pilot difficulty with and I plan to do it again in vetetan and then elite with a hotas. But alrean tell that AC8 is easily near the top (I've played all of the holy trinity (the ps2 ones) + 7 + project wingman).

Comment on "What do we do with Jacob Geller?" (Self admitted sexual assault, removed from Nebula streaming) in ~tech
PetitPrince (edited )Link ParentSpecifically for this hypothetical: if the whole event made him reform / turns his way, and improve society as a whole, then isn't that job well done? I think your specific phrasing icks me; I...But also the fact that Geller only received a short suspension. Even if that was enough to reform his behavior and it might have even been a punishment proportional to the harm done.
Specifically for this hypothetical: if the whole event made him reform / turns his way, and improve society as a whole, then isn't that job well done? I think your specific phrasing icks me; I acknowledge that your point is probably that judges are too lenient too often in their sentences and that some monitoring and/or better evaluation is warranted, but the concept of punishing someone unnecessarily is not compatible with the concept of proportional justice you mentioned.

I haven't participated in any edition of Conquest yet (I know it only from reputation) but I did attend to some fairly large one, only one order of magnitude smaller (College of Wizardry, about a hundred players; a whole castle is rented!). Still, many many things she described (accidentally got entangled in an awesome plot ; it's like cinema but you're an actor; everyone is so nice) got some "yup, welcome to larping" from my wife and I.

I really like the iconography of the device. Distinctive and whimsical yet super clear at the same time.
TimeStyle ftw!
It's Gell-Mann amnesia in its purest form.
I was liking the guy when I randomly watched him teaching how to cook to kids. Then I lost all respect when watching Uncler Roger roasted his asian recipes. In particular his pho and ramen. We could solve global warming by putting dynamo in graveyard throughout Asia (East, South, Southeast... Wherever) and blasting his cooking show, it's that bad. Example : in his ramen video 1) for some reason he's adding kimchi? 2) his chashu is the saddest piece boiled of pork that was ever filmed 3) as noodle, he used soba instead of, you know, ramen. Soba!
