A failed defend on Invade and Annex. Was quite an intense fight. But the ASP1 Kir is very good at close range for killing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjK8i-CHXfc&feature=youtu.be

Expecting face cam vlogs on update news for now on @Fitz xx

I wouldn’t call myself an optimist. I like to think of myself as a realist. But, let’s be honest, that’s just a fancy marketing-type term for pessimist, isn’t it? In the past, I have frequently and compulsively let myself mope and ruminate about all the awful things in life. It’s kind of a chicken and egg thing with the depression; do I feel depressed because of the negative thoughts, or do I think negative thoughts because of the depression? When I began treating my depression and anxiety, I had to confront my own thinking patterns. The negative thoughts were not helping me. If I wanted to be happy, I had to learn to think more positively, or, at the very least, realistically about things. Instead of telling myself ‘Today is going to be hellish,’ I had to begin telling myself ‘Today might be a good day; I won’t know until I get on with it.’ The change in perspective has helped a little, though it’s not a pancea. There’s a bit of a learning curve to it, but eventually it starts to feel natural to challenge the negative thoughts. I assume the eventual goal is that you don’t have all the negative thoughts to challenge, but that seems like a distant goal at this point. Now, here’s my confession: sometimes I still let myself mope and ruminate and relish in those terribly negative thoughts. I do this for two reasons. The first reason is that it allows for a cathartic release. Once in a while, I curl up in bed and think awful things and have a cry. Sometimes I feel better after. Not always. Sometimes I feel worse. But the times that I feel better allow me to justify it in my own mind. The second reason is to combat anhedonia. I spend a lot time comfortably – or uncomfortably – numb. Sometimes it seems like I don’t feel much of anything. Letting myself think negative thoughts and feel bad for a while serves as a reminder that I do have feelings, no matter how well I manage to push them down most of the time. I wonder if this doesn’t make me a bit like an addict. Perhaps I’m addicted to feeling bad. I’ve spent so much of my life feeling miserable that there’s a certain amount of comfort in it. Still, I know this won’t help me to get better, so I try not to do this too often. But let’s look on the bright side since that’s what we ought to do: at least I don’t mope all the time anymore. Any progress is good.

Do you think we will play this map again on straya!

@The Hopelessgamer Landed here just for this awesome view

@FBI in an A-10 Wipeout :D or @Links with a mortar

It would be nice to see Stratis once again, however it has been modified and changed so much over the last 2 years that it's just not fun anymore. Malden on the other hand has had no map editing since release which leaves much potential for major additions/rearranging. Malden is a fun map that suits many styles of gameplay, you can also land/take off jets from literally anywhere on the map which is pretty funny. If it's possible they could be rotated sometime in the near future every week or fortnight.

oh thanks for telling us i thought there was a bugged out poll or something

hmm

Lads, I'm here to break the news... As we were applying to have our monetization changed from one account to the other our monetization was rejected. I have linked the email below. Without justifying what "software" is the issue or even asking to remove it. We will support our developers and their missions. If you worked so hard on something I will support you. I know you support the work our team put into StrayaGaming as a whole that is why most of you donate time and time again. All of us are here to game with each other. I have played many different games with many of you. AOE2, PUBG, RUST, ARK, MINECRAFT and so many more. People leave and they come back because this is HOME We have been working our backend hosting so when one day can host anything we want for you, the community. Space Engineers was just start of weekend events. We will soon be taking suggestions on Weekend events that YOU, the community players can run. Personal I would like to do a reign of kings weekend with you all. Who will take the iron throne? So Shut up LuckyB33f! What does this all mean? We will continue to host Arma 3 Servers. Donations will not longer go to each server. But will be to the community to continue hosting all of our servers like ARK and upcoming servers for you all. Any Arma 3 perk will now be free. Yes you heard us, We are baring all... A nudey run if you will. Lastly, We are still aiming to give away a full Gaming PC, Why? Because this community is more then skins and more then money. It's about you. You will keep your perks in TS and the forums. Cheers lads, LuckyB33f, TrueBlue and Red

Some have asked what "software" was the issue. We believe it was something made to deal with hackers.

Apology accepted but don't be doing that again, your behaviour recently has been quite disgusting in the eyes of a community member.
