Very cool! Slightly different though in that 3dsen seems to be adding depth to sprites and a camera view outside the player, while tom7's puts you in the game on the level either top down or side view, walking in it as the player.
I suppose it depends on where you place the camera, on the player like tom7 "WolfNEStein 3D" or from a viewpoint far enough back to view a portion of the level like 3dsen.
3dsen approach is more playable and is really neat for depth in 3d and VR. Could be cool in AR as well.
If you read western propaganda they are highlighting Russian losses, but massively hiding the Ukrainian losses.
Reading Telegram, and a number of sites like the pro-russian but honest SouthFront [1] you can see the actual story is very different. Everything that I read points to progressive Russian destruction of Ukrainian logistics which basically predetermines the fate of this war.
I try to consume from multiple sources both on the west, Russian, and neutral/slightly biased (Indian)
I think we can both agree that neither Western propaganda nor Russian propaganda (that site you just linked) are going to be super helpful for getting a holistic view of the situation.
Propaganda is often based on perception of facts, you can cross-reference those and come up with a somewhat objective picture.
This of course assumes that you don't blindly consume every idea that some random journalist tries to shove into you, but this should go without saying in any other case anyway.
While I consider the Indian sources to be slightly Russian-biased, because apparently they are allies, I have found them to have a good independent view of the situation.
However, they appear much more reliable than the US Ministry of External State Progaganda in CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, Wapo and NYT in their relentless drive for war with Russia.
> Afghan and Vietnamese logistics weren't exactly top notch and they both defeated a much stronger military
Afghans had great logistics, and the Haqqani network never stopped importing. Given the pre-positioned amount of weapons, ammo, and fertilizer, it wasn't like they needed much though anyways. However, the porous border, and ISI support for the Taliban never wavered. That pipeline is probably the reverse of some of the ones used for the heroin exporting.
The Vietnamese's Ho Chi Minh Trail [1] was active the entire war, and they likewise had great logistics. To quote the Wikipedia article and NSA, "According to the U.S. National Security Agency's official history of the war, the trail system was "one of the great achievements of military engineering of the 20th century".[2] The trail was able to effectively supply troops fighting in the south, an unparalleled military feat, given it was the site of the single most intense air interdiction campaign in history. " Given that Russia and China were supplying North Vietnam, and there was a combination of North Vietnamese regular army, as well as the viet cong with whom to deal.
I already stated they have a pro-russian bias, however, their war reporting has been spot on over the Syrian War which was their claim to fame.
This "Fact Check" in and of itself seems in many cases to be politically driven, as it was written by an author that did not accurately state her connections to the British Intelligence establishment [1] [2] [3]
> In response to one of my parliamentary questions on December 3, Foreign Office Minister Alan Duncan said: “The Institute for Statecraft is an independent Scottish charitable body whose work seeks to improve governance and enhance national security. They launched the Integrity Initiative in 2015 to defend democracy against disinformation.”
> The problem is that this “charitable body” hasn’t confined itself to that and has strayed into smearing Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party.
> These tactics resemble those deployed by the CIA in Operation Mockingbird that was launched at the height of the cold war in the early 1950s. Its aims included using the mainstream news media as a propaganda tool.
> They manipulated the news agenda by recruiting leading journalists to write stories with the express purpose of influencing public opinion in a particular way.
> Now it seems the British Establishment have dusted off the CIA’s old playbook and is intent on giving it another outing on this side of the Atlantic.
> Interestingly the mainstream media has been rather tardy in its coverage of the revelations contained in the hacked documents.
> I would have thought an international network of politicians, journalists, academics, researchers and military officers associated with this British-based project might have merited more than a passing mention on the BBC.
> But the fact that this charity has gone well beyond “defending democracy against disinformation” and is itself indulging in disinformation against the Labour Party and its leader seemingly isn’t newsworthy to mainstream media editors. [4]
Considering her connections to the British Intelligence establishment, and the Institute for Statecraft's political smearing of left-wing political figures from the Labour party such as Jeremy Corbyn, I don't know that I would use her as a source for credibility, or lack thereof.
We do know SouthFront is Pro-Russian, and as I previously stated.
