learned about the 83rd Infantry division today. mfs stole so many nazi armored vehicles they almost turned themselves into a mechanized infantry division. fucking impressive. kleptomania at work.

they hijacked half-tracks, trucks, anything they could. but also tanks.

above: a captured STuG, and what appears to be an armored car.

this one's of them coming up on an abandoned german Panther. if their pattern held, they probably stole this one and repainted it too. supposedly they even managed to capture a BF109 and fly that around for a little bit. crazy bastards. gotta love 'em.

favorite word?

you know what, favorite word guy? i dunno what my favorite word is.

favorites are such a hard thing to pin down for me. but if I had to, on pain of death, give you my current favorite word?

"machinations" and "phalanx" come to mind.

moron makes video about Greek hoplites six years ago, mentions Sacred Band of Thebes.

calls them "an elite group of 150 warriors who swore to fight for each other to the death"

yeah because they were gay. why didn't you mention that. also there were 300 of them, split into 150 couples. how do you fuck this up that's literally the unit's only reason for existing.

don't especially care for warframe but was shanghai'd into watching the con with a friend. concert is excellent. taiko drummers did a brilliant job and the coordination necessary to coordinate this many instruments is NOT to be scoffed at

bad faith christianity take. uhhhh *covers eyes, throws dart at wall* it is unchristian to eat dinner. because jesus had the last supper. and then he died. dinner was the sacrifice for our sins. we're free of original sin but as a trade we can't eat dinner no more

If your strategy game can only be played by people able to manipulate and stop time like fucking Dio from JJBA maybe you've designed a bad strategy game, Eugen. why is this game at the brigade scale yet i'm having to command 10 man units and coordinate them with individually operated tank platoons. what am i doing

Regarding the BAFTA tourettes incident; Totally get the anger but once again people love to go "I support mentally ill people, we can't exclude them from society" until someone's disability is actually disruptive and surprising and makes them harder to be around at times - christ, it's not like the fucking guy did it on purpose
