What do you mean? Has the Bohemia team had significant changeover since the A3 days, to where they’ve lost something? I thought A3 was/is amazing, and Reforger seems to be really good so far, what’d I miss?

https://apnews.com/article/germany-darth-vader-london-thames-navy-theme-85e889136c6a586bbe42c9a0eb358a35BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s navy says there was “no deeper message” in the choice to blast the famed Imperial March — Darth Vader’s theme song in the “Star Wars” films — from one of its warships as it cruised down the River Thames through London this week.
A bystander captured the spectacle Monday on video, which quickly went viral on social media. The song selection made waves across Europe. The warship was in the area for training and dropped anchor in London for a normal supply stop, the German navy said.
“The commander can choose the music freely,” the navy said in a statement Thursday. “The choice of music has no deeper message.”
Other video recorded the warship, the Braunschweig, playing “London Calling,” the 1979 hit from British rock band The Clash, upon its arrival in London. The song’s title is drawn from the BBC World Service station identification in World War II and its lyrics include the lines, “London calling to the zombies of death/Quit holding out and draw another breath.”
The Braunschweig is named for a city in Germany’s Lower Saxony — an area far, far away from the United Kingdom — and part of the country’s newest class of ocean-going corvettes.
For its departure, a tugboat pulled the warship down the river near Tower Bridge as sailors — without any lightsabers, sadly — stood on the deck. This trip was the Braunschweig’s second to the British capital, the Germany Embassy in London wrote on the social media platform X.
The warship’s commander “is a big ‘Star Wars’ fan and an admirer of the legendary musical scores of John Williams,” the embassy said in a statement. “He chooses a different Williams tune whenever his ship is visiting a foreign harbor.”
There’s no word whether Anakin Skywalker himself was aboard.

My remark was specifically aimed at those decision makers at BI that are responsible for releasing Reforger without any editor capabilities. Anyone that played Arma 3 for any extended period got in touch with the editor, be it the old 2d or 3Den, and it’s IMO a key to the success of Arma 3.
I’m more than worried that, while Arma 3 players fill the ranks of ‘grunts’ at BI, the decision makers there have not much of a clue what Arma made Arma.

Gotcha. Yes, totally agreed. The OFP editor is what made that game what it was, and the 3den editor was revolutionary, and still unparalleled in the game industry. It’s nuts to leave it out (or at least only include the current neutered version) for Reforger, but I suspect that’s partially by design- Reforger is basically a tech demo and development engine for A4, right? Maybe they’re hesitant to include a full-featured editor for fear of killing A4 in the cradle?

I splurged on a new tent for my upcoming Bikepacking trip to Zeeland.
Got myself a Sea to Summit Alto TR2 Bikepacking tent and I am going to test it tomorrow at my bosses farm. As a bonus it’s supposed to rain a little tomorrow evening so it’s gonna be a proper test.
The route I will ride is about 77km. If the wind direction doesn’t change until tomorrow it’ll be a roughly 2.5h ride at an easy pace.

Who says that Germans have no sense of humor? That is hilarious!
However, it would have been funnier if they were blasting Barbaras Rubarb Bar and the sailors were doing the dance.

Check this out. And yes, it’s real 
I’ll be less than a kilometer from the radar dome in Uedem tomorrow which is also under the control of the Weltraumkommando Bundeswehr (controls the airspace in northwestern Germany and the Netherlands as well as satellite comms for the Bundeswehr and ESA)

lol. I was trying to figure out what that yellow bucket type thing on the front of you helmet was Derby. Then I realized it’s a bucket on a tractor in the background.

A box of large fries. 
Truthfully it was just some burritos and tacos.
Two burritos went for $5.00 less than 2 years ago and now it is 2 for $8.00. Tacos were still 99 cents each two years ago and now they are $2.39 ea.
I will not be back any time soon.
