Yeah combat aged very poorly but it does a host of other things someone should take and expand on.

I really had fun with it though the city building aspect starts to feel too loading bar heavy. I wish they had a more clever way to disguise that aspect of it.

Not really sure. Not an expert but it seems like Russia already trashed them.

I mean at this point I’m all in on Ukraine and I’m sorry to see my comment interpreted as anything but the hope that Ukraine could get the support they are asking for.

I know peace deals are precarious and complicated, but I dream of nothing less than pre 2014 borders, the end of all Russian hostilities, and a defense pact, if not full inclusion, between Ukraine and the EU.

Ah - respect, cheers friend.

I wasn’t refusing to correct the mistake, thanks. I just hadn’t checked my replies until now. I have made the edits now to clarify.

It was in today’s dollars. See my edit. And I don’t think it is suspect to ask Ukraine’s allies to do more to help them actually win when Zelensky is saying it himself ad nauseam.

Though your snippy reply maybe doesn’t deserve it, respectfully- the figures I quoted were in today’s dollars. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed people would know that though.

They aren’t wrong though - the USSR got somewhere around $100-150B from Lend Lease. Ukraine has gotten something like $300B already.

But it’s certainly not money laundering. Wars cost a lot in the modern age. The real question is why are countries giving so much but only to keep Ukraine from losing.

It’s embarrassing for Russia that this war is now longer than their war against Germany in WWII but it’s also sort of embarrassing for Ukraine’s allies.

EDIT: I was estimating in today’s dollars, from Wikipedia - A total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $690 billion in 2024 when accounting for inflation) worth of supplies was shipped, or 17% of the total war expenditures of the U.S.[3] In all, $31.4 billion went to the United Kingdom, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and the remaining $2.6 billion to other Allies.

Is that true? I haven’t heard MS say anything about enabling local LLMs. Genuinely curious and would like to know more.

I think they finally fulfilled all the initial promises and then some at this point. Still wish it were deeper but it is pretty well fleshed out now.

It’s a very good game, but also very different than what we were lead to believe it would be pre launch.

They hyped it themselves in endless promo dev videos leading up to launch. I watched all of them anticipating a very different game than what we ever got.

Oh fuck off with that. Y’all are promoting the technology with the promise of replacing human jobs. What did you think the response would be?

That is not to mention building it by literally stealing the wealth of human thought and then being surprised that we’re mad you want to sell it back to us with brand new monthly fees. Fuck off with all of that.

All AI models should be required to be open sourced to compensate humanity for this theft of our labor and ideas.

This is legitimately Trump’s chance to be eligible for a peace prize but I guess it’s easier to extort someone else’s

Wouldn’t be way out of left field with the new headset they already announced

Yeah if there was a niche Lemmy sub for everything I would no longer visit Reddit at all but I can’t get my Nightreign fix here sadly

If there are no clear lines drawn around the hybrid war Russia has been waging against the western would then the EU has failed its duty in the peace process

This does sound pretty rad

You get a free pass after a question like that. I honestly wouldn’t go back until I got a legit apology.
