units/groups to play with. Any group that has ranks you must put in your name, enforces time each week to play ARMA, expects attendance at their ops, and expects you to call their 'officers' Sir aren't worth your time or attention. Keep looking
Hiring ex-military people whose only experience is being in the modern army rather than accredited historians as military advisors in film needs to stop. They never get results close to the actual truth, just modern military culture with historical clothing.
Biddiss (Scott’s military advisor on Napoleon) takes historians to task. Arguing that the historians don’t understand what he understands because they use inaccurate pictures on their books.
Surreal experience 101. Hearing your own voice through tinny phone speakers as someone is watching a

bulkshittery on the same train as you, and having to fight the urge to say hi.
I won't be playing Hogwarts Legacy. The not very well hidden antisemitism baked into the universe is a big reason, and aside from that, I support the right for people to feel comfortable in their own skins and make changes to achieve that. Play it if you want. But I won't be.
For that person who lectured to and reported me to Twitch for saying 'Fuck' in a mature marked stream, that's like getting upset about visiting a strip club and then complaining that the employees aren't wearing clothes. Back in your box. The entire world isn't Bible Belt USA.
Even if I do say so myself, quite proud of the production values on my latest big ARMA operations. Intro/outro briefing videos, cinematic set pieces and (from feedback) a fun experience! More planned!

Free piece of advice to any advertisers out there: Putting 3 "money" emotes at the end of your email subject line, using the word 'Pog' over and over and over in your marketing, and signing off with "May the Pog be with you" actively repulses me and makes me want to vomit.
It's my anniversary with Messy. She's brilliant, and sweet, and funny and I wouldn't trade her for anything. Well almost anything. Maybe a Sherman. Actually no, not even a Sherman. A Churchill in running order would be the minimum. Love you

As an FYI, if any of you anti-mask twats pop up on my timeline, I'm going to block you. I'm not one for echo chambers but in this case, you can all take a very long walk off a very short pier before I listen to any of your dangerous horseshit.
Hey Twitter. I recently lost my nan so my social/'entertainer' battery has been a lot lot lower recently. If you've been expecting content and I've not been live, sorry. At the moment, there are days where I feel up to it and days where I just can't find the energy. Sorry all.
You know, when talking about interactions between actual celebrities and whatever the fuck it is Twitch streamers count as, having James May reply to a tweet by a mate's SO talking about his penis was not how I expected the Grand Tour/ZF collab to happen. But happen it did.
Having my leadership & briefing skills complimented by a retired US Major General somewhat made my night yesterday. Another superb big Mike Force session with the developers and vets. Despite a small tech hitch, all smooth! AAR of Cedar Falls 2 to come shortly.
If you don't LARP, you're missing out turning to your Ork assistant who has just revealed to you they fed one of the hostages a potion that either straight up kills them, or turns them into an immortal behemoth dedicated to our enemy's faith, and making this face. Go LARPing.
Does anyone get the impression that they are the only people in their neighbourhood that gives a shit about Covid? Just popped into my local Tesco and none, bar none, of the customers except me were masked. No wonder we're seeing wave 2 in the UK.
Don't make a fantasy piece of media and market it as historical if it's bullshit. You actively harm public education regards history by doing so, and acting like a petulant child when historians tell you that is just imbecilic.

Sony have really dropped the ball with Helldivers. Superb game, superb community, but now thrown away by effectively forcing people to give them data to keep playing it and changing terms AFTER purchase. Someone needs to launch a legal challenge and set a precedent against this.
'We have an actual person with the title of Game Master': A single Helldivers 2 dev named Joel is pulling the strings on its galactic war like an all-powerful D&D dungeon master, war will become 'more and more sophisticated over time.'
I hope that's my position made clear now to anyone seeking to email me about Raid: Shadow Legends.
I'm not going to even consider it unless you pay me a literal fuck-ton of money. And even then, expect me to be honest about the game. Which may be to your detriment.
Normally, I'm a pretty chill guy. But if your child comes up to me on public transport and makes a grab for my mobile phone after you've left them to range down the carriage for 10 straight minutes screaming at the top of their lungs, my chill will depart.

I find myself sat on my fiancee's parents sofa really not wanting to go back to the UK. The Netherlands just works. Public transport is cheap, clean and on time. Minimum wage here is MORE THAN MY SALARIED JOB, and the society is open, tolerant and genuinely engaged.
It’s weird that the nuclear blasts vaporized brick houses but not the old timey camera recording it.
It’s because nukes are fake.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki never had any fall out radiation. The whole narrative and all the evidence is absurd.
Brief note from me re the whole Ukraine situation: Unless the person you are speaking to is a foreign policy specialist working directly on the issue, they don't know shit. That counts double for influencers who get rewarded by the Youtube algorithm for bullshit takes. 1/x
Searching for a rental property with a dog at times feels like looking for a house with a small time-bomb displayed prominently. So far I can't seem to find any suitable as every advert says 'No Pets'. Apparently this little fluffball makes us unsuitable to many landlords!
This weekend, I had the pleasure of playing Forlorn Hope, a LARP written by a pal of mine & the lovely people at Feast Your Eyes, set during the Peninsular War.
A SUPERB weekend of LARP, which sits joint first with The Oasis for some of my favourite LARP events I have played.
What is happening in the US right now? Deploying gas on peaceful protesters so you can have your photo taken outside a church is just a criminal overreach. Americans who follow me please do the world a favour & vote that orange shit-gibbon out in November.
I never thought I would be someone who would raise a 5 figure sum for charity. However, my community has really risen to the plate and I am so so proud of them.
This was in aide of Scotty's Little Soldiers - here's hoping they can do a lot of good w/it!
Does anyone else feel like they are just careering through life from one disaster to the next, making the best of it, or am I just a disorganised mess?
Depression in content creators is much more common than I think people realise. It is a complete bastard and comes quite literally out of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of enjoying oneself. If I end a stream early or I seem distracted, cut me some slack. Thanks.
I'm back from the docs. I've been told I need to take it easy for a couple of days and just rest. So no streams for a bit whilst I recover. Thanks for all the concerns you've shared!
I'm stuck in an airless box once again as I've been forced to commute, at great expense to myself, into London to do a job I have been doing remotely for 2+ years because apparently "we need to return to the office." Why? Why cling to this stupid, outdated office model? 1/many

Really awesome stuff— you and your communities' contributions will make an incredible difference!
Can I suggest perhaps that, if you're not a) a foreign policy specialist or b) the Ukrainian MFA, your opinion on Ukraine isn't important and you should cease any attempt to tweet/stream/comment on it? Stop amplifying dis-info and let the response teams work.
Quite a lot of people not actually reading this tweet. Notice my issue is with the universe created as part of the HP series. HP's universe has way more problematic shit in it than just the themes in this particular game.
I won't be playing Hogwarts Legacy. The not very well hidden antisemitism baked into the universe is a big reason, and aside from that, I support the right for people to feel comfortable in their own skins and make changes to achieve that. Play it if you want. But I won't be.

@SavageGameDes
, we're today announcing a major upcoming
#Arma3
Creator DLC!
"S.O.G. Prairie Fire" will transport you back to the Vietnam War and deliver a historic military sandbox experience.
Full announcement:
Those who portray SS units during re-enactments, who wear the kit to airsoft in, or join SS 'Milsim' units for popular WW2 FPS games are IMO vile people. You can portray the other side of a conflict without representing units that literally committed genocide/other war crimes.
I think anyone who wants to put on an SS uniform, with all its connotations, for fun, is probably doing something a bit more than just wanting to depict an historical person.
I have, shit you not, been contacted by a company asking me if I have any old shit I want to sell to my fans via a website I can't locate via google. The email also contains a faux legal disclaimer about not disclosing specific content in the email.
11/10 dodgy.
