Even worse? Senior devs that are confidently incorrect but are trusted completely because they created an “amazing” VBA macro for Excel 97 once.

They have different jobs. An officer receives and leads the mission and will bear the responsibility for how it’s performed. A low level officer such as a 2lt usually deals with this on a small scale, such as a single squad. While this puts him close to the NCO’s scope, the NCOs are focused on the inner workings of a squad or platoon. They can give valuable info on individual strengths for specific tasks in the squad and tactical familiarity. A good 2lt will use that and combine it with his higher level approach including logistical concerns ( timing, transport, supplies…), intel about the situation as well as comms with possible other active elements in the area to formulate a strong plan to maximize success chance and minimize risk.

A NCO has completely different training and knowledge from an officer. The whole planning and strategy part, including high level communication and logistics are usually of no immediate concern to an NCO. Still, depending on training and experience, they might have insights on particular fields, and a good officer uses any advantage.

The Germans never got even close to where the sphinx is located in WW2. The Allied stopped the Axis advance in North Africa hundreds of kilometres west of there.

The device needing more power won’t get it, simple. Depending on what device it is, it will automatically throttle down so it needs less power, but obviously it will also deliver less performance while so throttled. And if the power is missing during a very sensitive part of a process so there’s no time to throttle down, your PC could blue screen or restart.

It’s very unlikely to suffer any long-term damage from this.

Japan had a lot more wood-only city buildings back then compared to the colder climate in Europe, where more massive stone architecture was common. In Europe, cellars are also common/default, unlike in Japan.

During high heat firestorms, most of the wooden material burns up and the ash gets carried away. The photo definitely shows cleanup and very likely was not taken the day after the bombing, but a single firestorm definitely can produce these results, much like other examples in Cologne, Hamburg, Dresden, Würzburg,… Except those had much more stone rubble standing afterwards.

Game passes exist for PC as well, and offer even more variety there.

Boot time should never take 30sec on PC as well. But most consoles are actually not much faster in boot and loading times. People tend to compare a PC booting from cold with a console just booting from sleep/hibernation mode.

Boot times on PC however can easily be further optimized, especially when not using Windows for gaming. A gaming Linux distro will be faster by leagues, even in a cold start.

Technically true, but I think everybody knows exactly what kind of dlc is meant, and because they still make up the majority of dlc content and addon-sized dlcs are so rare, it’s fair to call them that.

Moneygrab empty dlcs ( shiny horse armor! ) are stupid, and history has shown that people are not fiscally responsible enough to not be lured into spending absurd amounts of money for very shallow or plain empty content. “Vote with your wallet” doesn’t really work in the face of more and more insidious marketing efforts.

Though rougelike certainly sounds like an interesting genre too 😉
