Cause uh…that would certainly be one way to deal with the personnel issues
It’s just a video game. You can watch playthroughs on youtubes
Stargate’s episode “The Other Side” (S4E2) comes to mind. Especially because it’s also about drone pilots, and they unwittingly help the fascists until they realize what’s up, upon which they pilot the drone to destroy the HQ.
The fascist leader is one of the few instances to get intentionally vaporized by the Stargate’s iris.
So just Ender’s Game?
Armada too. And the last star fighter.
A bunch of Russians would log in and blow up the Ukrainian drone launchers and infrastructure
No they can’t, that Yandex warehouse was where Russia stored all its internet.
Does it use Denuvo?
This picture is all I know about it
Ah, it was a joke, sorry
I thought it might have been, but wasn’t too sure.
there’s precisely 0% chance they let steam randos do a Virtual-On 9/11 to the ukranian capitol or whatever
this could be cool but only if you got to play as hezbollah or ansar allah
al-Houthi and the Blowfish
This is definetly going to be a video game - unless you filter for the players who are actually any good.
If you just let anyone control the actual drones - it’ll cause a lot of trouble.
Maybe they can use it as part of training data for some computer-vision AI replacement to drone operators.
They could also use the game executable to install a botnet on gamer’s computers for cyber-operations.
the US passes a law granting UBI to people who lose their jobs to AI, but it only applies to drone operators
Lobbying Congress to expand the definition of “drone operator” to include stoner doom guitarists
Maybe they can use it as part of training data for some computer-vision AI replacement to drone operators.
This is kinda what I was thinking. But I would imagine they have quite a bit of real piloted drone footage to train from already. They could take that footage from drone attacks that went poorly and model those situations. Then when thousands of people play that scenario, they can use their gameplay to improve the drone automation.
we have enders game at home
Manhack Arcade?
:ender-tired:
I wonder if you can fly the drone into your own command unit
imagine going to jail for TK lol.
i would have been in prison for life years ago. 💀💀💀💀💀
I know wargaming is nothing new but did people ordinarily churn out war-related content while the war is still happening?
The Green Berets was released in the middle of the Vietnam war
i think so, yeah
That one was produced during WWII but was focused on the Napoleonic Wars.
I mean, it’s a thinly veiled find-and-replace about the “Soviet hordes”But they made plenty about WWII as well
yeah in WW2 they were bringing troops home to star in movies about their own alleged exploits, 50/50 government propaganda/capitalist profit seeking.
Huh, TIL.
Ukraine isn’t running short of drone operators, it’s running short of cannon fodder
Russia gifts DarkSydePhil a copy and completely depletes Ukraine’s drone supply within hours
immediately complains that he’s not receiving enough donos
He frags his officers so it’s actually a win.
