yeah the first two were because the pilot was outmanuevering the flight computer. the plane was much more capable than the initial software.
another fun fact is that the swedish air force does not have an aerobatics team. they all train for those maneuvers and whenever there’s an airshow they’re invited to they just send a random free airman from whatever base they happen to be on.
they were originally made in sweden on license by volvo aerospace. now that’s part of bae systems, but the entire thing is modular and if worse comes to worst, the drawings are probably still around.
hey now be fair
List of accidents and incidents involving the JAS 39 Gripen
although given the JAS has a 23-year head start, i gotta say the F-35 has made a fantastic grab for the lead.
have you tried Supraland? it’s weirdly the closest thing to metroid prime i’ve played in a long time, and it’s got completely the opposite tone. it’s hilarious.
as noted in one of the steam reviews, don’t let the looks fool you. on first glance it seems to be a cheap asset flip, but it’s an extremely tightly designed game with something like 20 hours of content and almost everything is original assets. it has a mishmash of styles because it takes place in a kid’s sandbox, so the different kinds of toys don’t match eachother.
i can tell you the one that surprised me the most: Yoku’s Island Express! utterly adorable pinball metroidvania. you’re a little dung beetle pushing a big ball around to deliver mail.
i find that there is so much focus on dark and dreary in the metroidvania genre, which makes sense considering the roots of the genre. me, i get enough of that in my daily life. i want colorful and full of curiosity. the ori games are good for that too, as is supraland, but i don’t know of many more.
the 1 is the premium model though. the 10 is where it’s at.
those costs are insane, the us one because it’s so high and the oz one for being so low. i think about 20% of our total tax revenue goes to care (health and elderly). for me that’s something like €3500.
sweden is so sparsely populated that some places have more empty houses than people. population density is about a quarter that of spain. the big cities are closer to the rest of europe, with homes going for three to four times the price of something an hour away and the rent queue being dominated by people who have been there since the 90s.
i bought a 70ish sqm apartment for about €100k two-ish hours from stockholm. in the city that would probably go for 5-20x the cost (depending on area) and have at least double the monthly cost.
as evidenced by the instance i’m on, sweden.
which of course also means that i did the normal stupid we do here and gave the amount before taxes. the take-home from that is more like €40k.
what about insurance and healthcare?
us software salaries are insanely high compared to the rest of the world, because the cost of living in SV is insanely high.
with a €60k a year salary i’m in the 90th percentile of earners in my country and it took me about two years to have enough to finance my own three-bedroom apartment on one income.
everything in moderation
it looks just like the last two!
there are actually lots of people outside
the question in the book is 6×9, because of course it is
…unless they’re valve games
adding mobile games to steam would probably make it unusable
