If it’s war and combat you want there is absolutely no shortage of that going on…
You’re born just in time.

I mean, Ukraine could use more bodies

I rode a vehicle into combat. It’s really not all it’s cracked up to be. You’re sleep deprived, terrified, and every now and then something happens that completely reinforces the randomness of who gets to go home on their feet and who goes home under a flag.
That’s only going to get worse as we get things like turrets that can acquire targets on their own. Ever seen an aimbot video from a game? How do you take out a line of weapons that have pinpoint accuracy and fire as fast as they can physically move their barrels?
The next big war is going to be World War 1 all over again. And the old wars with Knights and Cavalry killed more people with dysentery than the fighting.
Just let me play Doom in a cubicle.

The visor in that suit’s helmet probably just shows ads all the time.

I’d probably be ready to split your head open if you were #1 so that’s a good thing you aren’t a degenerate religious zealot fuck

“The Taliban used to be free of restrictions, but now we sit in one place, behind a desk and a computer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Life’s become so wearisome; you do the same things every day.” – Some dude with the Taliban

But it could be empowering if Afghan women learned to ride the sand worms.

I’m so glad I get to shitpost instead of me and and my entire line farming until we become fertilizer for the crops of next generation.

Nah, you’d be on a field till your neck sweat reached your ass crack. You had to be born into nobility to be a knight… sort of like how you have to be born into riches to not be a [insert profession] monkey.

Yeah you are cannon fodder in every era unless you are highborn.

If I was alive in the Warhammer 40k universe I’d honestly probably be turned in servo-skull and tasked with far more mundane jobs like following around a Space Marine as a lamp.

You’re just in the right time period to probably not die of exsanguination?

Right there that’s where we went wrong. Back when Dracula was in charge the prices of groceries were reasonable, and he only needed a few virgins a year sacrificed.

I imagine that I would never be on the side of the crusaders, so now seems more suitable for my tastes than those two options.

I recognize Warband in the first picture… I think I need to fire it up again.

I just fired Bannerlord back up the other day for the first time in a while. It’s come a long way!

I mean I certainly don’t want to fight in wars if those are the options, cubicles it is.

If you think there aren’t any wars fought in cubicles, you’re in for a rude awakening, my friend

You’re piloting drones from those cubicles.

World wide communications are going to get obliterated in a peer level conflict. Drive operators will need to be in the area to communicate with the drones.
