Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It genuinely amuses me that DCS has had very few instances of sensitive or classified information being leaked.
Whereas frigging War Thunder can't make it a quarter without needing to scrub their forums.
I understand the reality is that it is not about authenticity and more about being able to say the missile they schlep around a hanger is the best missile in the world. But still! You would expect the sickos who get off on the exact right shade of deteriorated grey being on a bezel would care more than the War Thunder crowd.
It's because playing War Thunder makes people very, very angry.
Source: I play War Thunder
Why do you do that to yourself?
Force of habit. I've been playing it since the beta in 2013.
