05:37:40 MJ: It's almost like Techno Queens of the stone age
05:50:38 ER: I should steal that line "it's an absence of hope, but it's not despair" for when I'm pushed to use Time Stop in SMAK :D

05:53:24 Devastator: 'lo

05:56:06 MJ: Gurantee it
05:57:04 Devastator: heh.
05:57:07 MJ: Or I may possibly have to pass on my obligations in my will, but either way, either myself or an unnamed descendent will read excetntion

06:13:07 Devastator: also, you got shot, right?
06:14:55 ER: what of it
06:19:08 Devastator: Just trying to keep the news straight.
06:20:27 syv: Dunno
06:20:38 syv: Emine has been shot repeatedly
06:23:43 ER: I like this one a lot
06:23:44 ER: https://acoup.blog/2021/02/05/collections-the-universal-warrior-part-iia-the-many-faces-of-battle/
07:12:42 ER hugs syv
07:13:18 syv hugs ER
07:13:21 syv: Reading that article
07:13:24 syv: It's very good
07:13:45 syv: Will send it to Nik at some point. :P
07:23:24 syv: "at Bai Beche in 2001, a force of Taliban with stood two days of heavy bombing and had repulsed an infantry assault besides, but collapsed almost immediately when successfully surprised by a cavalry charge (yes, in 2001) in their rear"
07:24:27 syv: but how do i systematize mental resilience to mortar, sniper, machine gun, melee, and cavalry attacks ;-;
07:24:37 syv: all as separate things ;-;
07:29:57 ER: muah ha ha
07:30:56 ER: though I think that the rule is that when anyone gets surpise horses charging at their butt, they panic
07:31:24 Devastator: I think Alida wouldn't worry about that.
07:31:48 syv: Yeah, this blog is great
07:32:01 syv: Please continue sending links to the particularly good aricles
07:33:56 ER: did I share this one? https://acoup.blog/2022/10/21/collections-strategic-airpower-101/
07:35:10 syv: Yup!
07:35:14 syv: I loved that too
07:35:22 syv: Had a long discussion with my father about it
07:37:08 Devastator: reading.
07:37:20 syv: He had complex feelings on it, being a navy sailor, who idealized infantrymen, and has a deep love and professional understanding of aircraft.
07:48:05 Devastator: that is a good article.
07:51:45 syv: Reading the first universal warrior article now, and wow he really goes for the throat
07:56:14 ER: heh
08:03:10 ER: "It should go without saying that, for any army, there is a theoretical zombie horde large enough to overwhelm it." - GWG, 2021
08:05:47 syv: I...
08:05:59 syv: ...Yeah, okay, that's true. Technically.
08:06:12 Devastator: Ahh, GWG.
08:06:39 syv: Though at some point this becomes indistinguishable from saying "It should go without saying that, for any army, there is a theoretical black hole large enough yo overwhelm it."
08:07:08 ER: yeah
08:07:11 Devastator: that's true.
08:07:53 ER: in that article bret brings up that in a fight between a modern military and zombies, the military can just... get in tanks and drive over them for a while, go back to base and refuel, and repeat
08:08:07 ER: because there's no way for zombies to get into a tank
08:11:31 ER: "A zombie immune to hunger and muscle atrophy and the like seems like it might also be immune to getting sliced with a sword."
08:13:28 syv: He did an article about zombies?!
08:13:31 syv: Link it!
08:15:25 ER: it's answering several questions, one of which is "zombies?"
08:15:26 ER: https://acoup.blog/2021/08/06/referenda-ad-senatum-august-6-2021-feelings-at-the-fall-of-the-republic-ancient-and-medieval-living-standards-and-zombies/
08:15:34 ER: of course all the comments are about zombies
08:20:40 Devastator: zombies.
08:20:42 Devastator: zombies.
08:20:45 Devastator: zombies.
08:21:01 ER: and now the comments are into an analysis of the world war z book
08:21:14 Devastator: that seems inevitable given the topic of the discussion.
08:24:43 syv: Hrm, the third post in his universal warrior series links Lindybeige
08:24:46 syv: I dislike Lindybeige
08:26:36 ER: used to follow him
08:26:45 Devastator: He has issues, yeah.
08:26:50 Devastator: something went wrong there at some point.
08:27:09 Devastator: that said, if the article is old I wouldn't mind linking it.
08:28:16 Devastator: the 'ditches are important' link?
08:28:22 Devastator: Yeah, that's perfectl
08:28:25 Devastator: perfectl
08:28:31 Devastator: perfectly okay.
08:32:35 ER: now the observation that a unit of zombies supporting an otherwise human army would counter cavalry
08:33:04 ER: because horses would probably be spooked by zombies while zombies don't care about horses charging at them
08:33:08 syv: No, the one linking Lindybeige talking about how the platoon is the ideal size
08:33:19 syv: Which is okay, he's totally correct here as far as I can tell
08:36:58 Devastator: Ahh, yeah, that's an issue.
08:37:10 Devastator: It seems to be pretty common but the causes might be misunderstood.
08:42:24 ER: like trying to apply the “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” canard to a cigar that’s sold under the brand label “Allegorical Phallus Cigar Company: Hey Everyone, This Cigar Is Intended to Symbolize a Phallus.”
08:44:07 Devastator: Or a giant cigar being held between someone's thighs while they're hip-thrusting forwords.
08:45:29 ER: I like that image
08:48:40 Devastator: https://youtu.be/AFqXA4KGHoA
08:48:45 Devastator: I do like the opening cutscene.
08:48:54 Devastator: "The Golden Axe has been stolen!"
08:49:00 Devastator: "Call the only man who can save us!"
08:49:03 Devastator: "Ax Battler!"
09:02:19 ER: well, got all my actions for Driftwould
09:02:32 ER: I'll probably handle that uh tomorrow
09:03:25 syv: ^-^
09:03:27 syv: Good luck
09:04:12 syv: Reading about unit cohesion on this blog, and it being built from social bonds (formed either from recruitment from the same place, or shared focused training), brings to mind Russian forces' awful unit cohesion.
09:04:26 syv: And their awful training standards.
09:04:39 syv: Dev, do you know how much they keep recruits from one area together?
09:04:40 ER: hm
09:04:53 Devastator: To a moderate degree.
09:05:07 Devastator: but do remember the basic conscription and the all-propaganda news.
09:05:18 Devastator: Their cohesion is ok.
09:05:22 Devastator: not super but not awful.
09:05:40 syv: I was under the impression they had substantial desertion problems?
09:06:48 Devastator: Yes, but historically the rate isn't that high.
09:07:03 Devastator: like desertion during the civil war was higher.
09:07:56 ER: I feel like most of what's going on in that war will have to be disected years from now
09:11:18 syv: True, yeah
09:15:06 ER: I don't like how awake I'm feeling at 4 in the morn
09:19:39 ER: though on the other hand lying down doesn't sound unpleasant so I'll just do it
