Oof. I thought it was surprising to see 6 out already. . .

I was under the impression it was because the city finally collected on it, but I might be wrong.

There are way more than 5 aces, so I'm not sure where that number comes from, but he certainly does have a pretty insane record. Especially impressive given that Iranian F-14 pilots at the time couldn't get more Phoenix missiles from America due to sanctions (I believe), so there was heavy emphasis on trying to win engagements without using them.

I wouldn't say we're seeing the first few waves now - MAG and Metal Gear Online were circa 2008-ish, right?

Same thing happens to me, same extensions involved, mostly browse incognito. I bet your suspicion is spot on.

Honestly, without a way to search content and not just people/hashtags, there isn't an organic way for me to discover people talking about what I'm interested in, so Mastodon just isn't useful out of the gate. It relies on finding a niche community you're interested in out of the gate, and if I wanted to go that route I'd just use Reddit.

This is making a lot of assumptions about GP's reasons. They should probably have explained in the first place, but give them the chance to before suggesting they're angry about something they never brought up, please.

I generally find them easier to manipulate, which is a frequent use for measuring distance. Honestly, I think the big thing hampering metric adoption is that no one uses decimeters. Kilometers are useful for trip distances, centimeters/millimeters are useful for small/precise measurements, but meters are deeply unuseful (for the same reasons you rarely see things measured in yards).

1/10th of a meter gets you a lot of the same usability as a foot measurement, but now adding centimeters onto that is more straightforward. A lot easier to calculate for measuring space for furniture, height, etc. . .

Tom Francis (the heat sig developer) also made Gunpoint, which while not a rogue like is still a fantastic little game (and has a bunch of user built levels). Would highly recommend.
