Their nation is spending something like half its budget if not more on defence, they can manage a few dozen jets.

Besides, they'll have to phase out their soviet era jets at some point because of the sheer age of them soon. Those Su-24 etc airframes are probably in rough shape by this point.

If Ukraine gets Gripen then they get access to an air platform that can fire the best air to air missile in the world.

Meteor is deadly.

They could use F-16's in the SEAD/DEAD/bomb truck role whilst using the Gripens to shoot down russian jets and helicopters from extreme range.

👆 Case in point.

"Code is the documentation"

Is the laziest excuse I've come across. Like, not everyone knows everything and complex code exists, it is not hard to put in some text explaining the basics of what something does.

Like, unless you're dealing with that code everyday it's going to look like double dutch to anyone new coming to it.

I've had people say that to me before, and it is absolutely infuriating in its laziness and cop out excuse.

Nope, you can flip some parts. But you can't rotate them. So, for example some parts can only be attached to the sides and others to the top or bottom. (or sometimes just the bottom)

There's quite a few videos on youtube showing this now.

The people who're emotionally invested in something will almost always make something better than the developers themselves.

I think the most fun I've had has been the spaceship building. I've only done a bit of space combat, but the spaceship builder while not perfect (like the inability to rotate parts) I quite liked.

I think for me everything doesn't feel connected, to go anywhere it's always a loading screen. It is very clearly a limitation of their engine, but it just makes everything feel disconnected.

For those of us who aren't American and want to at least have a semblance of a hope of keeping up with it there's a wikipedia page for the indictments.

Something to consider before anyone goes preordering, From's last pc game Elden Ring has a nasty shader compilation stutter that they never fixed to my knowledge.

Eh, I mean they probably did it because of russian government pressure but ultimately I've seen a lot of russian opposition media hold what are questionable views regarding Ukraine, often a colonial or imperialists view.

They don't want war, they just want to do these things peacefully to impose russia on Ukraine etc.

At this point I couldn't give two shits what happens in russia, what's important is helping Ukraine.
