I heard a story about Tom Clancy about how he guessed the location of a top secret military base. Essentially, in the book “Red Storm”, America has an Air Force base located in Iceland, that ended up being attacked by the Russians. The thing is, the US actually did have an air force base, almost exactly where Clancy had said it was in his book, but its existence had not been revealed to the general public yet. When asked how he knew the base’s location, he simply said “It made the most sense to have an Airforce base there”.

I think the best thing about this is that top level classified information Has to be the same as functional information so if you are just a full on nerd, you basically know all the secrets this by putting in the effort without a government paycheck

I'm in the military and our hangar doors with helicopters used the default code too. We changed them out, so it's not true any more. Well we didn't change one of them out, but it's been broken for a couple years, so it doesn't matter if you put in the correct code. It was the only actually secure hangar door.

I'm now left wondering who actually has committed the first real life teabag in warfare and would it be considered a war crime, because someone surely has by now. 🤔

@jgjg5182 9 ай бұрын

Desecrating a corpse is considered a war crime, and I think a genuine argument can be made that teabagging a real corpse counts as a form of desecration

Tom Clancy games when he was still alive are very realistic to the point where it is less of war crime simulators than Call of Duty of the same time.

@denalozecon9074 9 ай бұрын

Tom's guessing was apparently almost as accurate as actual spies working together with think tanks. There is a lot of educated guessing about opponents capabilities, and very large elaborate deceptions such as entire towns that were fake and only looked real from a plane. It is impressive that he was that accurate with limited data...and just imagining what parts he had no data for and only guesses.

The consistency and suspension of disbelief is what really makes crossovers clash for me. Like: MOST characters work in a MK crossover. But... NOT when they are extremely superpowered. Like... what are they even doing in this game? Or WHY are they even in the game? It's all very tone deaf tbh.

Another fortnite accidental pay2win situation is when they released costumizable superhero skins for you to make your own hero to play as but some people just made every color option black with a full face mask to do basically what black noir does in cod. Imagine green ghost from invincible but black. That's how comp players run these skins

Even though it was six zeros there was still a lot of stuff you had to do before you could even "press the big red button," And remember two people have to be doing every step of this at the exact same time and both of them have to be correct, you had to write down a random sequence of letters that will appear from a loud speaker, open up a box with two locks on it that you and someone else have, then decode the letters that you wrote down to get actual words which would then be your target you would put that into the machine to find a Target otherwise it wouldn't launch, put in those 6 zeroes and turn two keys that are impossible for one person to turn at the same exact time. And I'm pretty sure I'm missing stuff but even still it was still very safe, like yeah it's dumb but was and most likely would, never be an actual issue

"Harpoon" is more than an obscure submarine game, it's the comprehensive naval simulation! Newer versions have a Red October scenario in them. And the designer co wrote Red Storm Rising with Clancy.

@darrenhemingway7121 8 ай бұрын

The creator of the harpoon board game was Larry Bond, who was also a tech war author (red phoenix, vortex being two IIRC). Since the commercial board game is originally from 1980s (the original design being even earlier), the red October scenario is almost as old (my copy from 1990 had the scenario).
