Today we are joined by a special guest from the discord, Trash. We discuss his Patreon rewards, questions about the game, lots of various 80s music, and of course ugly Christmas sweaters.
We talk about Soviet strategies for nuclear war and other light topics with our community scholar TacError.
In this episode we are joined by fellow 80’s militaria collectors from Oldschool Reenactment. We talk about their Instagram page and why they collect 80’s era militaria as well as US kit and the new 80’s re-enacting community.
My special guest is Mixtape who runs the War Aesthetics community on Youtube and Discord.
He told me about his success on YouTube and his time in the Canadian military, including that time he passed out in NBC gear.
Our special guest today is Patron Jordan aka SPITFIRE on Discord.
He asked us a bunch of questions about production of the game and when we will release a playable demo - as well as discussing NBC gear, NVA snot - and putting a strong vote on team waffles.
We conclude that we are all insane.
