Definitely. I love the freedom ArmA gives. It allows to really engage with any objective as you see fit. The structure of a typical AAS or RAAS match in squad doesn’t really allow for that to happen.

The day before yesterday a buddy and I managed to round up 4 people to come with us to retake Cabin on a WCS server. W After that we went to Chotain. While the team took farm, we went on to take Laruns, then quarry while the team took Camurac, and then Penant’s . We went from losing Military Hospital to the enemy team struggling to even field helicopters to the western coast.

Haven’t ever gotten close to that in Squad. Though I will say that rounding up enough volunteers to do that is kind of hard.

I never played ArmA before Reforger, but coming from Squad it feels great. From my understanding of common gripes long time ArmA players have with Reforger, it’s a bit less milsim, so take that into account if you want to jump in.

Vanilla:

• Mortars
• New MI-8 and Huey variants, armed.
• New Soviet and NATO IFV (NATO has an amphibious IFV now, similar to the BTR)
• Rank requirements for weapons and apparel
• Point capture changes (can’t respawn on contested points, and capture rate depends on how many friendly points connect to it).
• Structural destruction (eg: buildings and trees)

WCS (probably the most popular mod pack along with RHS) also has new stuff coming with this patch:

• New weapons
• New vehicles (inc. Mh6 variants, tanks, new IFVs), some of which are armed with new stuff I think.

To add to the film thing: if travelling with film, keep it in carry-on bags and ask for hand checks. Film gets exposed by the radiation from machines at checkpoints; the higher the ASA, the more it’ll get ruined. 400+ will for sure be destroyed by a scan or two.

I ruined 4 rolls of the best street photography I’ve ever done from a trip to chicago because I didn’t know about it.

The Neighborhood Kids. They’re a small-ish rap group whose biggest song has a bit over quarter million streams on Spotify (Biddi Bomb). They’re really interesting because they sound and feel like politically active 90s west coast rap. Great beats, great lyrics, and very creative.

A complete 180 from what tops the charts nowadays. Biddi bomb is their biggest song and is rap through and through, while Third World Problems feels RATM. I honestly hope they keep at it because I love what they’re doing.

Reading, honestly. Though I don’t read on my phone, too many distractions. I read whenever I’m out and about and waiting, which isn’t much these days.

Yes and no. I cut my hair once a year to donate it. It’s usually warm to hot year round (25-37c), with a couple months’ reprieve around december. I cut my hair around January or a bit earlier depending on temperatures.

The height of summer is torture for me because of the humidity frizzing my hair. I look as if Gimli was cosplaying one of Marge’s sisters.

In december last year I had to put down my 15y/o dog, named Santino. He was a little stupid and couldn’t keep still, so I named him after the guy from The Godfather (a bit grim I know). I also have two cats, a three color grump called Hollie (named after Billie Holiday) and a tuxedo lovable fuzzball called Louie (named after Louie Armstrong).

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. I also had a kitten (who died of complications from being weaned off too early) called Curie.

Lol, that’s what I tell my friends when they inquire about sustenance storage in my beard.

RE: the centre stache thing, yeah. The bit isn’t a problem because that part I do trim meticulously. The sides are though, but those achieve the look. The problem is those hairs don’t grow outwards in an imperial fashion, but inwards. Think the guy with the beret from myth busters.

In case Tailscale doesn’t work, there’s tons of other options. The one I use to set up my Foundry sessions woth my players is Zgrok. Works as good as ngrok and tailscale while being more generous with data limits.

I think this is specific to my own neck of the woods, but the words “pija” and “verga”. It can be used in a variety of different contexts and will mean anything between the bee’s knees to absolute shit.

For example, “la mera pija/verga”, literally “the very dick”, means “the best”; while “la pija/verga” m, literally “the dick”, means “the absolute fucking worst/incapable/incompetent”. “Pijin” means rave, “pijeada/verguiada” means either a scuffle that ended with one side getting beaten very badly, or something that is very hard to do.

An example of the last one: “Darle pija a Malenia, Blade of Miquella, es pijeado”, meaning “To beat Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is hard”.

… Lots of phallic turns of phrase. But its usage probably isn’t so different to the versatility of the word “fuck” in the english language.

For the last three years I’ve let my hair grow out and donate it once its about 15in long. My hair is probably 2c if I let it air dry. It was annoying but I learnt to live with it by tying the sides of my hair back and tucking my crown’s hair underneath the tie. Some strands will sneak out eventually but it’s manageable.

However, what I have not found a solution for is my moustache. I like to have my moustache grown out, Tsar Nicholas style, but eating anything is a chore. Sandwiches, burgers, and pizze mean I’m munching on my own stache and pulling some hair out, soups and stews mean I’ll be patting dry the contours of my mouth down to my chin. The only things I can eat comfortably are things I can skewer with a fork. Really puts on a damper on my hair game since I have to trim it a lot for it not to be a bother.

Native Spanish, who learnt English at an early age and Italian later on. Everything’s in English, though from time to time I’ll switch to Italian when I feel my grasp on the language weaken.
