I don't know how to say this, so I'll just say it... My mother has developed cancer and it has gotten to the point where she needs an op. After the op in Dec, she'll be disabled and require full-time care from me. I'll be quitting content creation as a result. Video to follow.
A year ago my mum's cancer returned, yesterday she passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones.
I don't know how long I will be away. Thank you for understanding.
We finally got the good news today that my mum is in REMISSION!!!! She has to have scans frequently for the next 5 years to see if anything returns, but for now, my mum is 100% cancer free :DDDD
Details about it and my absence here:
The legend herself. She's having her stomach peg fitted on Monday and is pretty nervous about it. She broke down and cried when she saw me today... But they were tears of joy as she was saying how proud she was <3
Merry/Happy Christmas everyone! My mum is settling in fine and is mostly resting. She had a milkshake yesterday and groaned with delight! I got her a blender for Christmas, so her Christmas dinner will be through a straw. I'm cooking it now for tomorrow. Have a good day! <3
Over $36,000 raised in just over 24 hours. I'm far beyond thankful to all those who donated, all those who attended, all those with the power to raid and everyone for taking part. But I think my mum says it best, I called her mid-stream
The bravest person I know. She pulled through after 9 hours in surgery and the vein transfer was a success. She's in critical care for 2 days while sedated and has a nurse with her 24/7 to make sure she stays stabilised. If you want to know more it's here
She's recovering well and I'm able to understand what she is saying. Not very clearly, but enough for communication to not be frustrating for her. She'll be released from hospital in one week if all goes well. Merry Christmas! The details:
I'm coming back to content creation in a month and I'll be focusing on DayZ. Because I haven't played since my charity stream in 2018, I know almost nothing about 1.0+! What do you think I should be aware of since the release of DayZ 1.0?
If she should die during her operation, any remaining funds after the funeral will be donated to a cancer research charity. I'm quite aware that the money raised is hers, and I'll make sure it goes as far as it can. You've lifted a heavy burden from our family & I love you for it
Thanks for all the kind words everyone. There's still a lot for us to sort out, but we're getting through it day by day. The funeral is near the end of July, so I'll be staying with close family until then to do what I can. Being with others has helped an incredible amount
I'm packing my computer away and won't have access to internet for a while. I'll try to figure out how this phone thing works on the line but I'm on pay as you go so rip wallet. I've got plenty to do and start work Wednesday, so don't feel bad about me not having internet! ❤️
My mum goes in for her operation tomorrow 6:30am, I'll report how it goes here. We don't know how long she'll be in surgery for. Some good news though; the nerves in her right arm may be saved by using veins from her left arm or some such.
I'm still in shock... I put my bowl of oats in the microwave without any oats in, then proceeded to wait 2 minutes for the sole purpose of burning my hand on it.
I'm spending today with my fiancee as it's her bday and I'm waiting on a final interview call about the KFC job.
I can never repay this community for the help we have received, but I can try with what I love doing..
From tomorrow, I'm back to creating content for DayZ.
Starting with a 12 stream tomorrow at 12 CET, because I'm rustier than a clown from a popular cartoon
This new corona patch sucks!
Pasta and hand soap aren't spawning, the economy has tanked, and why exactly does my more experienced char have a higher chance of dying??
Also, can someone pleeeease nerf toilet paper and buff intelligence....
17 years of smoking cigarettes
3 years of vaping
1 year of not smoking now 🙌
I loved smoking and couldn't see a life without it.. Now I don't think about smoking at all.
Every time you try to quit you get stronger at resisting, keep trying!! The 137th time is the charm! 😅
I was wrong about DayZ Frostline!
...democracy gets to decide🙏
To apologise, I'm giving away 10 copies of DayZ on PC: Follow + comment to enter the random draw. Keys get DM'd when this poll ends
Me and Asmondian have been working together to create an area of the website where he can upload, manage and update his infographics easier. Here is the result:
Asmondian manages this page, please direct any queries to him, and bugs to me :)
Thank you to all those that are donating now, I will read your names out and thank you during the stream tomorrow. If you can, hold onto your donations until the stream, I want to thank you while you're in chat if possible.
DayZ Tip: The Gas Mine
The PO-X Grenade has one of the lowest durability of any item in DayZ, detonating very easily from punching with it, shooting it and especially it being hit by explosive damage.
Because of this, you can....
I'm going to be streaming tonight at 8PM CET/3PM CT. Looking forward to talking to you guys again <3
Here's the what's happened over the last 4 months:
Charity stream was a huge success!
$1097.75 raised for Cancer Research UK. Thank you guys <3 The DayZ community never fails to impress.
Skydive coming soon :D I'll post the video of my terrified face on here.
@DayZ
I figured it out!
.-.. . .- ...- . translates to leave.
"Leave" rhymes with "Leaf" and the plural of leave is leaves.
They are adding a new tree!

Some don't understand the difference between copying and inspiration. Share what you want to share and remember that a lot of the info in my videos comes from others in the community
DayZ Tip:
Killing bears with the bear trap will require 2 triggers of the bear trap to kill it. However, killing bears with explosives is a bad idea and a waste of explosives:
Landmines to kill: 15
Grenades to kill: 8
Claymores to kill: 4
Plastic Explosives to kill: 2

Fantastic news! I told TRMZ many times in DM's that we can send the fee costs over to him... But of course, being Paul, he refused every time. Moreover, I'm happy that such a genuinely decent guy has become so successful on Twitch. There's justice in this world. Merry Xmas all!

I'm posting detailed updates of the fight against cancer on Patreon and Discord. I'll post headline info on Twitter, but if you want the details check the links. Discord: Patreon:
@TheRunningManZ
Words don't even. I broke down on stream when I saw this tweet. Thank you to everyone that donated on my stream, TRMZ's stream, Patreon and before the streams even started. Paul is a top bloke that deserves everything he gets, don't let him tell you otherwise!
The 5 main stats in DayZ go into a lot more detailed than I first imagined, complimenting each other nicely to create a clever survival experience. Here's how they work:
Contaminated zones, gas poisoning levels 1, 2 & 3 + what protects you from the gas:
A huge thanks to the DayZ community for their curiosity and poking these new mechanics with a stick <3
@dayzdevteam
Thank you for the shout out guys. I would wish you all the best in the future of DayZ, but with this community backing you, it's a sure thing.
@TheRunningManZ
I will always remain a part of this community. Sending out a tweet or answering a question on Reddit takes no time at all and after what all of you have done for me I have a lot to repay. Thank you again and a special thanks to the legend we know as TRMZ.
In DayZ 1.20, inertia penalties change depending on how heavy you are and water weight is something that needs to be considered going forward. Details of the changes here:
The Longhorn's damage has been changed from 102 to 109 health/shock damage. It used to 1 shot kill at 30 meters, now it's 75 meters.
The length was also changed to match other pistols.
