[@hedgeearthridge6807]

Kinda crazy how they made you keep drinking, by making the character so annoying about it. You know it's bad for him but you kept doing it because of his nagging about his nagging craving. It's actually shockingly realistic in that way and makes you the player into a simulated alcoholic.

"The whole bottle!?" Stolichnaya vodka (the brand produced by the Soviet Union) was infamous for having a cap designed to not be able to be put back on after opening a bottle since the designers knew that most Russian men would just down an entire bottle in one sitting.

[@ay-wq8fo]

Hey Vale, I know this video is more than a year old now, but i absolutely needed to tell you that you misidentified the tank as a Panther while it's more than likely a Tiger II. The MG bulge at the front is a dead giveaway. in addition, the turret is a production turret instead of the prototype, meaning it's canonically one of the later ~450 Tiger II's built.

[@JahJah-CleverHandle]

no, it’s a Panther, specifically the G varient. The turret is the giveaway, and the flat bottom of mantlet distinguishes it as a G.

[@balzenhazelnut]

I think I speak for all of us when I say: please make this a series

Akchually, alcoholics who don't drink for too long can legitimately die from the withdrawal itself. SO the statement "I've heard it's not healthy not to drink vodka for too long" is technically not incorrect when taking context into consideration.
