  • The one where the USSR invaded the Baltic nations and Poland. Not mention mass killing, deportation of local population and attempts at exterminating local culture to replace it with russians.

    You online commie roleplayers are so boring! You spam the same dull copytext/images.

    But the cherry on top is how it so clear how you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

    There is a high likelihood you've never even been to say Estonia or Poland. You've probably never even spoken to a Danish or Latvian person in your life (let alone being friends with them)!

    You just found some regressive gibberish online and are parroting it in some fucked up online roleplay thing.

  • Totally! I was fascinated by their statement that no one in Hungary wanted to not be dominated by a blood-thirsty, genocidal regime that collaborated with the Nazis to split up Europe.

    I mean look how well things worked out for Hungary under Soviet dominance! Excellent quality of life for the next 40 years!

    The GIA even forced hundreds of thousands of Hungarians out of their homes and into Austria (and to a lesser extent Yugoslavia) to give legimacy to their "coup" that was definitely not a mass movement for self-determination!

  • The funny thing is even the pro-putin russians would be extremely suspicious of the tankie rhetoric (while appreciating the support for gencidal imperialism and rejection of self-determination for occupied nations) due to sheer level of disconnection from reality.

  • Now cite CIA article about how food quality in 80s USSR was better than the US.

    This is typical tankie "BIA conspiracy" gibberish, albeit with a more cunning duplicitousness.

  • I've lived in 5 countries across 3 continents, so I do have some perspective on this.

    The first point is finding out local immigration laws, even if you don't need a tourist visa, you will need legal authorization to stay in a country on a more permanent basis.

    Which brings me to my second point, you need local employment to get authorization for permanent stay (or proof of above average independent income).

    Another option is to go study in a country. This is expensive and you will need to win scholarships if you don't have a lot of money. Countries always try to make money on foreign students.

    Another option is to teach English, but this is likely harder than it used to be (15 years ago or so). Although it is worth exploring this opportunity, unlikely to work for EU though.

    Do you have any relatives in other countries? Close friends?

    I will speculate it's going to be difficult to move to Netherlands if you don't have family or a skillset that is in high demand.

    I would explore developing countries where you can likely get a good job (by local standards, so $1,000 to $2,500) if you have a degree and some solid work experience.

  • CIA backed coup attempt

    Haha

  • I believe Cyberpunk 2077 was a success. 35 million units and $750+ M revenue.

  • Haha, that's pretty shit level software. Usually it took a little bit more effort than that to just kill it in task manager.

  • Haven't watched this particular YT, but from other video and text reviews that I have watched/read, it's basically a relatively generic vampire themed action-adventure. It's not an RPG in the least, some of the RPG-lite elements look comically dumb.

  • Cheers!

  • John Frusciante from RHCP likes making jungle/dnb?

    My mind is blown!

    I actually checkout his album on Bandcamp, it's pretty good.

  • Movies from that time period also had a lot of drum and bass tracks.

    It was a (relatively) new genre in the late 90s and it works well for energetic scenes and gameplay.

    GTA2's Funami FM had some drum and bass influenced tracks. The GTA2 intro movie used drum and bass in a way that's very reminiscent of the time period:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z5O29rLRnw

    GTA3's MSX FM had some top notch drum and bass tracks from the legendary (by electronic music standards) Moving Shadow record label.

    TJ Rizing - Agent 007

    Unreal Tournament 99 had drum and bass tracks.

    Michiel van den Bos - Forgone Destruction

    System Shock 2 also had great drum and bass music.

    Eric Brosius - Engineering

    I wish this trend of using drum and bass tracks would become popular again, it's a such good fit for intense/energetic scenes and gameplay.

    It's also great for that cold and clinical, yet psychedelic sc-fi ambience (like the Engineering track from SS2).

  • Cheers!

  • I am surprised I've never heard of this.

    It very much has that mid 90s attitude and unique to DOS too. From what I remember, consoles didn't really have these sort of games.

    The artwork is top notch and stands the test of time.

  • Very cool interview. Some interesting perspectives on the state of the market back then.

  • I don't know about that. If Valve made Left 4 Dead 3 with some minor iterative improvements (better graphics, same gameplay, maybe a new mode) and no trash monetisation (B2P like the first two games), I think it would be very successful.

  • Back 4 Live Service Game Failure

  • I see. Thank you for that.

    FWIW, I do my best to promote non-ML alternatives.

  • Thank you!
