Creideiki_SE: I mean, "helix" and "pterodactyl" are pretty common words, so it shouldn't be that surprising.

nalha_saldana: Sweden is not going euro
TXC2: Nigouki they should, but they don't want to
ShaneLeeAtk: ISK for Sweden?
Nigouki: Canada had polymer notes for a looooooooooong time
thedepthandbreadthofseth: all have "crowns" but spelled a little differently.
Nigouki: iirc we were Australia's first major customer for polymer notes
Creideiki_SE: @Nigouki Not without another referendum. The first one said no.
ScrapyardGhostTrain: ShaneLeeAtk That's Icelandic.
nalha_saldana: ISK is Iceland, Sweden has SEK

lightfut: Seems to be part of the intent
TXC2: almost every change made to currency is an anti-counterfitting measure
public_key_reveal_party: 2 dollars become 3 dollars, stonks
TheSpindash: Man, if you had $100 in $2 bills, you'd have like $150.
PBlackcoat: I remember when the US had $2 bills. My grandmother used to save them up and give them to us when we were kids
TheSpindash: Portrait mode money
TheSpindash: For when you're riding the bus
beowuuf: pound notes, jumpers for goal posts, use your old shillings for 5 pence
Creideiki_SE: I'm told that if you want to have fun conversations with Secret Service agents, use $2 bills in Las Vegas. Nobody knows they're legit.
TXC2: eeeeeeee-mail
BraveOthello: @PBlackcoat I'm pretty sure the US still prints small numbers of $2 bills
nalha_saldana: Can you make this a short and complete the game in under a minute please?
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @PBlackcoat we still have them. they just never print many.
RockPusher: Now I want to see devs sending LRR codes through Mail TIme :P
beowuuf: pows crying for help
thedepthandbreadthofseth: desert strike was awesome!
TXC2: I feel like I've played one of the strike games at a cousins house once 30 years ago :p
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: @RockPusher I want to see the Chicago mob sending their favourites
PBlackcoat: Hunh. TIL the US still prints $2 bills. That's just *stupid*
thedepthandbreadthofseth: @TXC2 you're cousins with my neighbor Avi???
TXC2: to be SLIGHTLY fair, a $2 bill makes more sense then a $1 bill, of course a COIN would make the most sense
beowuuf: i recall trying to record metallica's one on guitar, and used a half min run of desert strike as the war noises before. Got a pow calling out just before i launched a rocket, perfect syncronicity

PBlackcoat: I know they also put out Seapower recently, but this feels like a big change from their highly detailed strategy games.
OldUncleDan: Cheer500 Dear Heather, have you heard of the new TeamFourStar series "Toonami Abridged?" They just did a two part series Abridging the first season of "Sailor Moon!"
ErynTzun: The brand was revived in 2007 when Interactive Game Group acquired it from Atari Interactive, formerly Infogrames. The MicroProse brand was licensed to the Legacy Engineering Group for consumer electronics. Cybergun owned the MicroProse brand from 2010 to 2018, which was then acquired by David Lagettie working with Stealey.

Anubis169: EIEIO
Anubis169: !dun
Creideiki_SE: And here I thought Horizon: Zero Dawn would be the only game with a big bad who was Definitely Not Elon Musk.
Anubis169: do we have infinite ammo for the Gau?
Anubis169: the ones marked on the minimap
voslan: Man, Apache Commander got a great looking update!
FuzzRaTheBarelyLiving: I like the lock warning
rex_mundi_: Just like 'Choplifter' on my Apple ][
voslan: Don't think so
voslan: Warhog and Thunderbolt are the same thing
Creideiki_SE: The A-10 carries a GAU-8 Avenger.
SidewinderSky: The GAU-8 fires... 30mm, if i remember correctly. Vs .50 which is a hair over 12mm
Anubis169: not on the toilet anymore
voslan: It's made by Fair Child, but you're using the 12.7mm Verson and the GAU-8 fires 30mm.
Anubis169: koolCLAP
ScrapyardGhostTrain: GAU is a military sorting code, not a manufacturer (Gun, Aircraft Unit).
Anubis169: oww
voslan: Man I can't wait to see the Hind verson of this game!
Anubis169: Thank you for saying that Scrapyard
Anubis169: so many peeps use it the wrong way :D
Anubis169: That jeep, fucked in particular
Neddy471: TBH, my one real problem with the "Strike" games is how slow the hook was.
Basic_Human_Decency: Gau is a blob of sesame flavored mochi
xantos69: Oh this reminds me of an old genesis game I used to play.
Anubis169: which one?
beowuuf: gotta drop the "kids" at the "pool"
Creideiki_SE: @xantos69 https://www.mobygames.com/group/134/electronic-arts-strike-series/
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone
wedge_x: brother got out and just walked right into the tail rotor :D
CaptainSpam: Huh, you didn't get repaired from just landing on a glowy patch in the desert. Weird.
Sundrall: I think it stands for Gatling-style autocannon (which it is)
Basic_Human_Decency: The last mission of pilotwings for snes
xantos69: @Creideiki_SE Yep. Jungle Strike 1993. Is this made my the same folks?
rex_mundi_: do the weapons and health pickups expire?
Basic_Human_Decency: Can you ram the jets?
Nigouki: I love it how if you go reading about any American weapon system you'll end up reading about one company buying another company until there's basically two or three left today
Nigouki: In 1993, General Electric sold its aerospace division, including GE Armament Systems along with the design and production tooling for the M61 and GE's other rotary cannon, to Martin Marietta. After Martin's merger with Lockheed, the rotary cannon became the responsibility of Lockheed Martin Armament Systems. Lockheed Martin Armament Systems was later acquired by General Dynamics, which produces the M61 and its variants as of 2000.
durketh: @Nigouki +2 which will be consolidated to +1 when shareholder agreements are met
Territan: If the buildings are pinatas, the people are candy.
Creideiki_SE: But when you deliver the people, they sprout missiles. Recursive piñatas?
BalthusHomewood: Airwolf media tie-in
rex_mundi_: is there a boss level?
kusinohki: meows
BalthusHomewood: Niice
Territan: Hungry like the Airwolf.
SquareDotCube: The funny one would be if they include a reference to Blue Thunder
BalthusHomewood: She doesn't have Time to Bleed
kusinohki: i've never actually watched airwolf...
wedge_x: Airwolf was based on (and built around) a Bell 222, the Bell 212 is a variant of the Huey (IRL, of course)
BalthusHomewood: Wow... $100
BalthusHomewood: In a multi-million dollar aircraft
kusinohki: I think they bought this helicopter for 34k?? military surplus I guess...
LordZarano: Heliqwopter
BalthusHomewood: Helicopters are like dogs, right? Always rolling in the dirt
wedge_x: breaking missile lock kinetically, A+
BalthusHomewood: Where we're going we don't need roads
BalthusHomewood: "Not the Rec Center!"
Creideiki_SE: Depending on model, the USDoD will charge between $5k and $12.5k/hour for a Black Hawk; https://comptroller.war.gov/Portals/45/documents/rates/fy2025/2025_b_c.pdf
kusinohki: you HAVE to wreck the rec center... it's in the name
SquareDotCube: the stats
BalthusHomewood: This character has an interesting accent
SquareDotCube: So if you want a challenge, try one of the earlier missions using only your tow line
BalthusHomewood: It spoke your in the phone book as an escort service or something... Wait, not like that
SquareDotCube: you're in a Blackhawk, there's room for a platoon
CuteTeaGoat: an extra 10 people or so shouldn't affect our maneuverability
Nigouki: Blackhawk does have seating for 11
Nigouki: if you had the Hind you could probably fit 20
BalthusHomewood: There ARE some helicopter rides available on Uber in some cities, I believe

BalthusHomewood: I recommend violence
Basic_Human_Decency: Its cheaper to get a heli in new york to the airport then to get an uber rn
BalthusHomewood: I'll believe that
PMAvers: Explosions *are* pretty cool.
BalthusHomewood: "Well we could but it would have been prohibitively expensive!"
SquareDotCube: crashed F16, yeah.
SquareDotCube: And then, you have to deal with having no gunner in the third mission because they have to drive the bus full of POWs to the safe zone
SquareDotCube: and if you fail that, the gunner is KIA
BalthusHomewood: Most men do
SquareDotCube: I wonder if you can get them with your helicopter blades...
BalthusHomewood: I think that's just an APC... Maybe a Bradley?
PMAvers: Buildings: the original Loot Box

BalthusHomewood: I appreciate the Technical pick-ups. Very on-brand
NoxStryx: @Lysander_salamander But this is Texas, so the best defense is a good offence. YeeHaw
